Minor patch upgrade. Enabling ray packets results in faster
processing of ray streams (i.e. occlusion culling buffer
updates) at the cost of slightly larger binary sizes.
* Added support to our local copy of SpirV Reflect (which does not support it).
* Pass them on render or compute pipeline creation.
* Not implemented in our shaders yet.
* Tweens were changed from Node to RefCounted. New API is inspired by DOTween.
* Tweens are created and managed by SceneTree, similar to SceneTreeTimer, which makes them ultra cheap to use a lot.
* Animating with Tweens is done by creating sequences of Tweeners. You create them from code and they autostart by default (fire-and-forget).
* There are 4 Tweeners that cover the former Tween functionality: PropertyTweener, IntervalTweener, CallbackTweener and MethodTweener.
* The methods were simplified a lot. Long argument lists are replaced with chained calls on Tweens and Tweeners.
* Tweeners by default execute in sequence, so it's easy to create complex chained animations.
* You can bind a Tween to a node. Tween will be removed automatically when the bound node is freed.
* Shader compilation is now cached. Subsequent loads take less than a millisecond.
* Improved game, editor and project manager startup time.
* Editor uses .godot/shader_cache to store shaders.
* Game uses user://shader_cache
* Project manager uses $config_dir/shader_cache
* Options to tweak shader caching in project settings.
* Editor path configuration moved from EditorSettings to new class, EditorPaths, so it can be available early on (before shaders are compiled).
* Reworked ShaderCompilerRD to ensure deterministic shader code creation (else shader may change and cache will be invalidated).
* Added shader compression with SMOLV: https://github.com/aras-p/smol-v
Since Embree v3.13.0 supports AARCH64, switch back to the
official repo instead of using Embree-aarch64.
`thirdparty/embree/patches/godot-changes.patch` should now contain
an accurate diff of the changes done to the library.
This makes font oversampling work out of the box, while also increasing
the supported character set's size. The default font is now larger
as well to better fit today's screen resolutions.
The OpenSans SemiBold font was chosen for two reasons:
- Small file size, yet its character set supports Latin-1 and Cyrillic
text.
- A heavier font weight looks better in most "game" scenarios and is
more readable against mixed-color backgrounds.
This is considered a breaking change as it changes the default font's
metrics, which will likely affect how Control nodes are laid out in
scenes (unless a custom font is in use).
Various fixes to UV2 unwrapping and the GPU lightmapper. Listed here for
context in case of git blame/bisect:
* Fix UV2 unwrapping on import, also cleaned up the unwrap cache code.
* Fix saving of RGBA images in EXR format.
* Fixes to the GPU lightmapper:
- Added padding between atlas elements, avoids bleeding.
- Remove old SDF generation code.
- Fix baked attenuation for Omni/Spot lights.
- Fix baking of material properties onto UV2 (wireframe was
wrongly used before).
- Disable statically baked lights for objects that have a
lightmap texture to avoid applying the same light twice.
- Fix lightmap pairing in RendererSceneCull.
- Fix UV2 array generated from `RenderingServer::mesh_surface_get_arrays()`.
- Port autoexposure fix for OIDN from 3.x.
- Save debug textures as EXR when using floating point format.
We've been using standard C library functions `memcpy`/`memset` for these since
2016 with 67f65f6639.
There was still the possibility for third-party platform ports to override the
definitions with a custom header, but this doesn't seem useful anymore.
Avoid unnecessary allocation of temporary buffers for each mip, and creates
only one Image with the compressed data.
Also renames variable and reorders code for clarity.
Clarify that squish is now only used for decompression.
Documented which formats can be decompressed in Image.
We do our own image loading, threading, and memory management in Godot already,
so the only components we need from etcpak (at least as of now) are the
`Compress*` methods defined in `ProcessDxtc.cpp` and `ProcessRGB.cpp`.
So we don't need to compile or vendor the rest.
For MinGW this is tricky to do as a two-step process like it was implemented,
as `std:🧵:native_handle()` is implementation-defined and depending on
the MinGW distribution, it may or may not be a pthread handle.
With mingw-gcc as packaged in Linux distros with pthread support it worked
fine, but with llvm-mingw it was problematic.
Setting the name in the thread directly as done for Apple platforms is simpler
and works fine.

- `etc` module was renamed to `etcpak` and modified to use the new library.
- PKM importer is removed in the process, it's obsolete.
- Old library `etc2comp` is removed.
- S3TC compression no longer done via `squish` (but decompression still is).
- Slight modifications to etcpak sources for MinGW compatibility,
to fix LLVM `-Wc++11-narrowing` errors, and to allow using vendored or
system libpng.
