Every basic data type is stored in Base module, color is standing out as
one that does not. Moving it to Base opens possibilities to integrate it
better with the rest of FreeCAD.
Migrate the transparency from the DiffuseColor alpha channel to the
transparency color attribute. This allows the alpha channel to be
used as designed
fixes#14938
Improves the use of the ShapeAppearance property for the Part workbench.
removes DiffuseColor property
adds Python compatibility using custom attributes
transitions DiffuseColor to ShapeAppearance on open
Improved UI elements for setting object appearance, and appearance per face
Lays the foundation for future texture support
In v0.22 a version number -1 is added to the material files to distinguish between old and new project file.
But v0.21 doesn't know about this version number and interprets it as number of elements instead.
Because this value is assigned to an unsigned type the value becomes 2**32 - 1. Now trying to create a container of this size requires > 280 GB
of RAM. On most systems FreeCAD new handler will jump in and raises a memory exception to stop the allocation. But an other systems with
plenty of RAM it's tried to allocate the memory and then may crash at some point.
This PR fixes this regression. It puts the version number to the MaterialList XML element as an optional attribute.
With this change FreeCAD v0.22 is still able to load projects that have been created prior to this change.
Additionally FreeCAD v0.21 can again load project files without crashing.

When synchronizing the Transparency property with the transparency value of the ShapeAppearance property then do not convert between float and
double as otherwise some strange rounding issues can occur.
Example: Set the Transparency property of an object to 35 in the Property Editor. After leaving the editor the value may switch to 34.
Uses new material system for appearance
Each feature object now has a property called ShapeMaterial that
describes its physical properties. If it has a shape, it has a
material.
The ShapeColor attribute is replaced by a ShapeAppearance attribute.
This is a material list that describes all appearance properties, not
just diffuse color. As a list in can be used for all elements of a
shape, such as edges and faces.
A new widget is provided to allow the user to select materials in a
consistent fashion. It can also launch the material editor with its
more advanced capabilities.
To compare if two property contains the same content. The default
implementation in Property uses the persistense interface to save both
properties to string and compares the content. This may not work at the
moment if the property saves content in separate file or in binary.
Various properties have cheaper implementation to direct compare their
internal values.
The enumeration items are exposed through sub path '.Enum'. When
'ShowAll' is enabled in property view, this sub path is exposed as a
sub property item named 'Enum', and can be either manually edited or
bound with an expression.
‣ Make countersink and counterbore on metric holes freely definable by user.
‣ Fixed the Naming of M1.6, M2, M2.5 and M3.5
‣ Added constructor for custom enums from Enums to PropertyEnumeration
‣ Put definitions of cut-types (counterbore/countersink) for
screwtypes into json-files for easy modification.
‣ Allow users to put its own definitions in json-files in
[UserDir]/Mod/PartDesign/Resources/Hole
‣ Contains several examples of cut-type definition json-files that are
propably not production-ready.
This uses a local copy of nlohmann::json¹ to read json-files.

These two APIs allow an object to control its own labeling rules.
The previous auto re-labeling for uniqueness logic is moved from
ObjectLabelObserver (resides in Application.cpp) to PropertyString.
DocumentObject::allowDuplicateLabel() is used to inform PropertyString
that the object allows duplicate label regardless of application
setting. onBeforeChangeLabel() is called before actual label change to
give object a chance to override the new label.
Property:
* Extended property status bitset. Mirror most of PropertyType and
allow dynamic change property type.
* Cache property name and type to improve performance
* Centralize property status change signalling
* Change aboutToSetValue()/hasSetValue() to virtual
* Add new API getFullName() to obtain full quanlified name of the property
AtomicPropertyChangeInterface:
* Allow calling aboutToSetValue()/hasSetValue() when actually changed
PropertyLists:
* Refactor implementation by an abstract class PropertyListBase and a
template class PropertyListsT, to allow better code reuse.
PropertyListT is derived from AtomicPropertyChangeInterface to allow
more efficient change on individual elements.
* All list type property now accept setting python value as a dictionary
with index as key to set individual element of a list.
* Add touch list for more efficient handling of value changes. The list
contains the index of changed value. And empty touch list should be
treated as the entire list is changed. PropertyContainerPy expose this
functionality with getPropertyTouchList().
PropertyPersistentObject:
* New property to allow dynamic creation of any FreeCAD object derived
from Base::Persistence, and use it as a property.
DynamicProperty:
* Use boost multi_index_container for efficient property lookup while
keeping order.
* Modify to be allowed to use in PropertyContainer directly
PropertyContainer:
* Use boost multi_index_container for efficient property lookup while
keeping order.
* Allow adding/removing dynamic property on all property container
* Modify Save/Restore() to persist property status, and better handle
transient property which can now be dynamically enabled/disabled per
object.
* Add new API getFullName() to obtain full quanlified name of the property.
Implemented by Document, DocumentObject, and also
ViewProviderDocumentObject if future patch
DocumentObject and FeaturePython are modified to accommondate the
dynamic property changes.
Removed get/setCustomAttribute() implementation from DocumentObjectPy,
and rely on PropertyContainerPy for the implementation, because of the
additional dynamic property support in property container.
Gui::ViewProviderDocumentObject, which is derived from
PropertyContainer, is also modified accordingly
- New editor for MapMode with button to open attacher dialog
- Hide attachment properties when they are not applicable
- Disable super placement ui in attacher dialog when object is not attached
- Always select used mode in mode list
The purpose of this property and the associated property item is to
properly display floating value of many decimal points, such as
Precision::Confusion()
