As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
Backported from #70885.
Extra:
- Optimized the debug-only check about why the object is null to determine if it's because it has been deleted (the RC is enough; no need to check the ObjectDB).
- Because of the previous point. the debugger being attached is not required anymore for giving the "Object was deleted" error; from now, it only matters that it's a debug build.
- `is_instance_valid()` is now trustworthy. It will return `true` if, and only if, the last object assigned to a `Variant` is still alive (and not if a new object happened to be created at the same memory address of the old one).
- Replacements of `instance_validate()` are used where possible `Variant::is_invalid_object()` is introduced to help with that. (GDScript's `is_instance_valid()` is good.)
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
Fixes GCC 5 warnings of the form:
core/io/http_client.cpp:288:9: warning: enumeration value 'STATUS_SSL_HANDSHAKE_ERROR' not handled in switch [-Wswitch]
core/io/marshalls.cpp:806:9: warning: enumeration value 'AABB' not handled in switch [-Wswitch]
Those can be trivial cases where adding a default fallback is the solution,
or more complex issues/hidden bugs where missed values are actually meant
to be handled.
This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.
My first attepmt I added a second loop to check if processing should
stop. This attempts to optimize by using the original loop (one loop).
Also resets `elapsed` time on finish of tween which fixes `tell()`.
I've made the following changes:
- make `is_active` the main way of keeping track of tween
processing/activity, meaning that `is_active` will now return
`false` if all tween actions have finished or if it isn't started
or if it was stopped via `set_active(false)` or any other mode
- removed is_stopped because is redundand now
The above meant that we don't have to keep track of yet another variable
`available` since everything is based on `*processing_internal` so I
removed it, likewise it's own local `processing` variable was removed,
as well as the "double" `_set_process` which it feels more like a hack.
What wasn't changed:
- `tell()` still returns max value (i.e. `== get_runtime()` when all
tweens `finish`)
*More testing is needed*. So far I've tested repeat on/off, delay,
`is_active()` working corretly, `set_active(true), set_active(false)`,
but probably more tests are necessary, all the resets, stops, resume
etc.
Notable potentially breaking changes:
- PROPERTY_USAGE_NOEDITOR is now PROPERTY_USAGE_STORAGE | PROPERTY_USAGE_NETWORK, without PROPERTY_USAGE_INTERNAL
- Some properties were renamed, and sometimes even shadowed by new ones
- New getter methods (some virtual) were added
Using `misc/scripts/fix_headers.py` on all Godot files.
Some missing header guards were added, and the header inclusion order
was fixed in the Bullet module.
