The goal of these tasks is to make core Blender data structures more extensible and object-oriented. See the [[ https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/Architecture/Extensibility | proposal in the developer wiki ]] for details. ####Datablocks Extend `IDTypeInfo` usage and functionality to abstract ID handling in more areas.
