* Fix: EEVEE renders with CPU instead of GPU in Linux clients
In Linux systems, setting the env LD_LIBRARY_PATH var to point the /lib folder included in the sheepit binary compressed .zip, mandates Blender to swap whatever openGL library is already in use by the OS. Modern GPU drivers install their own optimised version of the OpenGL library and replacing it creates incompatibilities that avoid EEVEE to run.
To detect if Blender already uses the standard OS provided OpenGL library is via _ldd_ Linux command. The execution in a system with OpenGL libraries already in use delivers an output similar to this:
ldd rend.exe
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffda6bf9000)
...
libXfixes.so.3 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXfixes.so.3 (0x00007fefefe3a000)
libXrender.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXrender.so.1 (0x00007fefefc30000)
libGL.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 (0x00007fefefb9c000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007fefefa4d000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fefef85c000)
...
libbsd.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbsd.so.0 (0x00007fefef6e7000)
While a system with no OS OpenGL libraries that requires the shipped default OpenGL lib to work returns this instead:
ldd rend.exe
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffda6bf9000)
...
libXfixes.so.3 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXfixes.so.3 (0x00007fefefe3a000)
libXrender.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXrender.so.1 (0x00007fefefc30000)
libGL.so.1 => not found
libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007fefefa4d000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fefef85c000)
...
libbsd.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbsd.so.0 (0x00007fefef6e7000)
In the former case, the SheepIt client will set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var to point the /lib folder to allow Blender to execute properly.
* We don't need to shadow in `lombok` itself. Gradle must be upgraded to at least 4.6 to support `annotationProcessor`, which is a version that still supports Java 7.
* `args4j-maven-plugin` is intended to use as a maven plugin.
* The requirement for `jaxb-api` was removed in 81cba7d58c0ce8a334204700dca669f2ad8e16ff
* We are only using `simple-xml`, don't need the whole `retrofit`+`okhttp`+`okio` chain.
* Resolve deprecation warnings in JNA code.
Fix the sync/async detection to ensure that handle the server side projects properly. The routine was incorrectly uploading sync files with the async routine and vice-versa.
* feature: light/dark mode theme support
New feature providing a more modern flat design with support for light and dark modes, including:
- New SheepIt logo (old one removed)
- New configuration option (-theme) that changes the existing client theme.
- Minimal UI cosmetic changes (some separation lines under the logo and above the buttons)
* Improve status messages
Add three new status messages (uploading frame, stopping the client and disconnecting from SheepIt servers) to keep the user better informed. Additionally, amended some existing messages to make them more user friendly, while maintaining the existing technical logs.
