	<brief_description>
		Provides a high-level interface for implementing undo and redo operations.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		UndoRedo works by registering methods and property changes inside "actions". You can create an action, then provide ways to do and undo this action using function calls and property changes, then commit the action.
		When an action is committed, all of the [code]do_*[/code] methods will run. If the [method undo] method is used, the [code]undo_*[/code] methods will run. If the [method redo] method is used, once again, all of the [code]do_*[/code] methods will run.
		Here's an example on how to add an action:
		[codeblocks]
		[gdscript]
		var undo_redo = UndoRedo.new()

		func do_something():
		    pass # Put your code here.

		func undo_something():
		    pass # Put here the code that reverts what's done by "do_something()".

		func _on_my_button_pressed():
		    var node = get_node("MyNode2D")
		    undo_redo.create_action("Move the node")
		    undo_redo.add_do_method(do_something)
		    undo_redo.add_undo_method(undo_something)
		    undo_redo.add_do_property(node, "position", Vector2(100,100))
		    undo_redo.add_undo_property(node, "position", node.position)
		    undo_redo.commit_action()
		[/gdscript]
		[csharp]
		private UndoRedo _undoRedo;

		public override void _Ready()
		{
		    _undoRedo = new UndoRedo();
		}

		public void DoSomething()
		{
		    // Put your code here.
		}

		public void UndoSomething()
		{
		    // Put here the code that reverts what's done by "DoSomething()".
		}

		private void OnMyButtonPressed()
		{
		    var node = GetNode&lt;Node2D&gt;("MyNode2D");
		    _undoRedo.CreateAction("Move the node");
		    _undoRedo.AddDoMethod(new Callable(this, MethodName.DoSomething));
		    _undoRedo.AddUndoMethod(new Callable(this, MethodName.UndoSomething));
		    _undoRedo.AddDoProperty(node, "position", new Vector2(100, 100));
		    _undoRedo.AddUndoProperty(node, "position", node.Position);
		    _undoRedo.CommitAction();
		}
		[/csharp]
		[/codeblocks]
		Before calling any of the [code]add_(un)do_*[/code] methods, you need to first call [method create_action]. Afterwards you need to call [method commit_action].
		If you don't need to register a method, you can leave [method add_do_method] and [method add_undo_method] out; the same goes for properties. You can also register more than one method/property.
		If you are making an [EditorPlugin] and want to integrate into the editor's undo history, use [EditorUndoRedoManager] instead.
		If you are registering multiple properties/method which depend on one another, be aware that by default undo operation are called in the same order they have been added. Therefore instead of grouping do operation with their undo operations it is better to group do on one side and undo on the other as shown below.
		[codeblocks]
		[gdscript]
		undo_redo.create_action("Add object")

		# DO
		undo_redo.add_do_method(_create_object)
		undo_redo.add_do_method(_add_object_to_singleton)

		# UNDO
		undo_redo.add_undo_method(_remove_object_from_singleton)
		undo_redo.add_undo_method(_destroy_that_object)

		undo_redo.commit_action()
		[/gdscript]
		[csharp]
		_undo_redo.CreateAction("Add object");

		// DO
		_undo_redo.AddDoMethod(new Callable(this, MethodName.CreateObject));
		_undo_redo.AddDoMethod(new Callable(this, MethodName.AddObjectToSingleton));

		// UNDO
		_undo_redo.AddUndoMethod(new Callable(this, MethodName.RemoveObjectFromSingleton));
		_undo_redo.AddUndoMethod(new Callable(this, MethodName.DestroyThatObject));

		_undo_redo.CommitAction();

				When the "do" history is deleted, if the object is a [RefCounted], it will be unreferenced. Otherwise, it will be freed. Do not use for resources.

		<method name="clear_history">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="increase_version" type="bool" default="true" />
			<description>

		<method name="create_action">

			<param index="0" name="name" type="String" />
			<param index="1" name="merge_mode" type="int" enum="UndoRedo.MergeMode" default="0" />

			<description>
				Create a new action. After this is called, do all your calls to [method add_do_method], [method add_undo_method], [method add_do_property], and [method add_undo_property], then commit the action with [method commit_action].
				The way actions are merged is dictated by [param merge_mode]. See [enum MergeMode] for details.
				The way undo operation are ordered in actions is dictated by [param backward_undo_ops]. When [param backward_undo_ops] is [code]false[/code] undo option are ordered in the same order they were added. Which means the first operation to be added will be the first to be undone.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="end_force_keep_in_merge_ends">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Stops marking operations as to be processed even if the action gets merged with another in the [constant MERGE_ENDS] mode. See [method start_force_keep_in_merge_ends].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_action_name">
			<return type="String" />
			<param index="0" name="id" type="int" />

			<description>
				Gets the index of the current action.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_current_action_name" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<description>
				Gets the name of the current action, equivalent to [code]get_action_name(get_current_action())[/code].

				Returns how many elements are in the history.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_version" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" />
			<description>
				Gets the version. Every time a new action is committed, the [UndoRedo]'s version number is increased automatically.

			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="has_redo" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if a "redo" action is available.

		</method>
		<method name="is_committing_action" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if the [UndoRedo] is currently committing the action, i.e. running its "do" method or property change (see [method commit_action]).

			The maximum number of steps that can be stored in the undo/redo history. If the number of stored steps exceeds this limit, older steps are removed from history and can no longer be reached by calling [method undo]. A value of [code]0[/code] or lower means no limit.

		<signal name="version_changed">
			<description>

			Makes "do"/"undo" operations stay in separate actions.

		<constant name="MERGE_ENDS" value="1" enum="MergeMode">
			Merges this action with the previous one if they have the same name. Keeps only the first action's "undo" operations and the last action's "do" operations. Useful for sequential changes to a single value.
