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!
-Most 2D drawing is implemented
-Missing shaders
-Missing all 3D
-Editor needs to be set on update always to be used, otherwise it does not refresh
-Large parts of editor not working
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-Moved drawing code to a single function that takes linked list (should make it easier to optimize in the future).
-Implemented Z ordering of 2D nodes. Node2D and those that inherit have a visibility/Z property that affects drawing order (besides the tree order)
-Removed OpenGL ES 1.x support. Good riddance!
-=-=-
-Fixed normalmap depth parameter
-Fixes to DirAccess on Windows
-Double click on resource dock will open them
-Fixes to doc generator (should make github wiki on class list more up to date)
-=-=-=-
-Fixed some DAE import & export bugs
-Changed Collada exporter to use the mesh loops API
-Added tangent export to Collada exporter
-Added triangulation option to Collada exporter
-Changed a little how normalmaps are handled in shader. Not sure if it's working properly, be careful.
-Fixed some strange bug with kinematic bodies #776
-Fix release compilaiton issues #782
-=-=-=-=-=-
-fix duplicate function bug when creating script callback in editor
-fix bug where hiding lights does not work
-fix 2D audio listener bug (romulox_x reported)
-fix exported properties with inheritance bug
-fix timer autostart (make it not work on editor)
-reactivate first camara found if viewport runs out of active camera
-option to hide gizmos in viewport
-changed skeleton gizmo because it sucks
-Make convex shapes using CollisionShape visible (use quickhull class)
-fix up menu when editing a mesh, to export collision, navmesh, convex, etc. from it.
-make a menu option to show SRGB in 3D editor views by default
-make option to edit default light direction in viewport settings
-make option to edit default ambient light in viewport settings
-make software conversion of linear->RGB if hardware support not found
-=-=-=-=-
Another gift for those who make 2D games:
-Edit polygons, concave or convex, color them, texture them and uv-map them
-Corresponding editor
-Can have a custom pivot, so they are compatible with bones and IK
==========
-NOTIFICATION_WM_QUIT fixed on android (seems tha way this is reported changed in newer sdk)
-WIP implementation of APK Expansion APIs for publishing games larger than 50mb in Play Store
-Feaures in the new tutorials are all present in the sourcecode
-This (hopefully) should get rid of the animation list order getting corrupted
-Improved 3D Scene Importer (Skeletons, Animations and other stuff were not being merged). Anything missing?
-In code editor, the automatic syntax checker will only use file_exists() to check preload() else it might freeze the editor too much while typing if the preload is a big resource
-Fixed bugs in PolygonPathFinder, stil pending to do a node and a demo
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-Sprite3D and AnimatedSprite3D support.
-Opaque pre-pass works, is compatible with shadows
-Improved shadow map rendering (can differentiate between plain opaque and opaque with shaders/discard/etc)
-Added option to use alpha discard in FixedMaterial
-Improved Glow FX, many more options (three modes, Additive, Screen and SoftLight), strength and scale
-Ability for Background (image or cubemap) to send to glow buffer
-Dumb Deploy of clients now actually works in Android
-Many Many rendering fixes, 3D is much more usable now.
