V3.0

[BrendanParmer]

Features

• Compositor nodes now supported (Compositing Nodes #5)
• Support for Blender 4.0, including (Blender 4.0 nodes  #59)
  • Node panels and the new NodeTree interface
  • Repeat zones
  • Rotation sockets
  • Geometry tools and nodes
  • New geometry nodes and updated shader settings
• Node name attributes are now generated (Node name not included in script #68)
• More types -> Python string functions

Fixes

• Variable name creation is now more robust, now checking if name candidates are valid, unique Python variables (Don't allow "special variable names" as node names #61)
• Node group creation now works as expected. Additionally, each group is created only once, in order of dependency (Group nodes don't use correct tree if one already present in scene #74)
• Print statements now use Blender's operator reporting system
• Warnings no longer generated when using an attribute invalid in a certain Blender version
• Typo in Material menu bl_idname

Refactor/style

• Major code refactor, which should make adding future nodes, node settings, and NodeTree types easier
  • Code has been split out, with the UI, settings, and the operator all getting a separate file per node tree type (Code separation #64)
  • Operators now inherit from a common NTP_Operator type
  • Color ramp, curve mapping, images, image users, and node trees are now handled like other node settings
  • Functions are a lot simpler, with more variables stored in the operator class rather than being passed around as arguments
• Node settings now include type and minimum/maximum Blender versions
• More type hints and function descriptions throughout
