That year should bring the long-awaited OpenGL ES 3.0 compatible renderer
with state-of-the-art rendering techniques tuned to work as low as middle
end handheld devices - without compromising with the possibilities given
for higher end desktop games of course. Great times ahead for the Godot
community and the gamers that will play our games!
(cherry picked from commit c7bc44d5ad)
The only differences we have with the upstream tarball are marked with
`// -GODOT-` comments for clarity. The changes we currently have are
just some defines for cross-platform configuration, and could likely be
moved to the SCons buildsystem (ideally in a sub-environment to avoid
having RtAudio-specific defines pollute the whole build log).
One change for WinRT was not kept, if it is needed it should ideally be
integrated upstream:
```
#if defined(__WINDOWS_DS__) || defined(__WINDOWS_ASIO__) || defined(__WINDOWS_WASAPI__)
-#ifdef WINRT_ENABLED
- #define MUTEX_INITIALIZE(A) InitializeCriticalSectionEx(A, 0, 0)
-#else
#define MUTEX_INITIALIZE(A) InitializeCriticalSection(A)
-#endif
```

3D Physics:
-Fixed "Bounce" parameter in 3D
-Fixed bug affecting Area (sometims it would not detect properly)
-Vehicle Body has seen heavy work
-Added Query API for doing space queries in 3D. Needs some docs though.
-Added JOINTS! Adapted Bullet Joints: and created easy gizmos for setting them up:
-PinJoint
-HingeJoint (with motor)
-SliderJoint
-ConeTwistJoint
-Generic6DOFJoint
-Added OBJECT PICKING! based on the new query API. Any physics object now (Area or Body) has the following signals and virtual functions:
-input_event (mouse or multitouch input over the body)
-mouse_enter (mouse entered the body area)
-mouse_exit (mouse exited body area)
For Area it needs to be activated manually, as it isn't by default (ray goes thru).
Other:
-Begun working on Windows 8 (RT) port. Compiles but does not work yet.
-Added TheoraPlayer library for improved to-texture and portable video support.
-Fixed a few bugs in the renderer, collada importer, collada exporter, etc.
