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.
The description is displayed as a tooltip when hovering the project
in the Project Manager. It can span multiple lines.
This partially addresses #8167.
Previously it was only possible to create custom script templates per
editor instance which could lead to certain name collisions, but now one
can create such templates per project tailored for specific use cases.
The default path to search for custom script templates is defined in
project settings via `editor/script_templates_search_path` setting as
`res://script_templates` path, yet this can be configured per project.
Templates have at most two origins now:
1. Project-specific, defined in `ProjectSettings`, for instance:
- res://script_templates/
2. Editor script templates, for instance:
- %APPDATA%/Godot/script_templates/
As script templates can have the same name over different paths,
the override mechanism was also added, enabling project-specific
templates over the editor ones.
Condensed some if and ERR statements. Added dots to end of error messages
Couldn't figure out EXPLAINC. These files gave me trouble: core/error_macros.h, core/io/file_access_buffered_fa.h (where is it?),
core/os/memory.cpp,
drivers/png/png_driver_common.cpp,
drivers/xaudio2/audio_driver_xaudio2.cpp (where is it?)
The basic point is as in 2.1 (appending the PCK into the executable), but this implementation also patches a dedicated section in the ELF/PE executable so that it matches the appended data perfectly.
The usage of integer types is simplified in existing code; namely, using plain `int` for small quantities.
It's not necessary, but the vast majority of calls of error macros
do have an ending semicolon, so it's best to be consistent.
Most WARN_DEPRECATED calls did *not* have a semicolon, but there's
no reason for them to be treated differently.
This issue could be triggered if you try to access a path which contains
the resource path string in its absolute path, while pointing to a directory
which is *not* in the resource path.
It's clearer with an example: with `/my/project` as resource path, the
previous logic would also localize `/my/project_data` to `res://data`, which
is incorrect and would lead to a cryptic error.
Fixes#24761.

Add MultiplayerAPI.allow_object_decoding member which deprecates PacketPeer.allow_object_decoding.
Break ABI compatibaility (API compatibility for GDNative).
It has a big impact on 2D and text rendering performance (cf. #24466)
so the solution seems worse than the bug it aims to work around.
It's now opt-in via "rendering/quality/2d/gles2_use_nvidia_rect_flicker_workaround"
for those who need it and have a simple enough game for the performance
drop not to be an issue.
Fixes#24466.
When opening projects for edition through the project manager, the
following checks are now done:
1. If the config_version is lower than the one used by the current
engine version, users are asked if they want to convert to the new
format or abort editing. Fixes#20626.
2. If the config_version is higher than the expected one (project
from a more recent and incompatible engine version), projects are
grayed out and can't be edited. Fixes#18758.
When editing from the command line, the behaviour is unchanged:
projects in situation (1) are automatically converted, while projects
in situation (2) show an error message (made more explicit).
The "Run" option from the project manager was not changed, so it will
still run (1) projects without converting them, and fail running (2)
projects.

This was not a problem on Windows as binary names are guaranteed to end
with '.exe', but on Unix systems binary extensions are purely cosmetic
and thus optional, which is a problem when using `get_basename()` to
lookup a potential '.pck' file, as it can fail on e.g. "My Game 2.0" (#15188).
To fix this, ProjectSettings::setup now checks for both basename + '.pck'
and filename + '.pck'.
Fixes#15188, supersedes and closes#22755.
Also took the opportunity to improve documentation on this core method.
