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 🎆
Updated glslang and Vulkan headers/loader following the instructions found in thirdparty/README.
glslang was updated to the 'known good' matching Vulkan SDK version 1.2.162.0. Vulkan headers and loader were updated to the commit tagged with sdk-1.2.162.0.
'vk_mem_alloc.h' and 'vk_mem_alloc.c' are unchanged since there hasn't been a new tagged release since 2.3.0.
Here's the Vulkan release notes for this update:
https://vulkan.lunarg.com/doc/sdk/1.2.162.0/windows/release_notes.html
Reverted and removed the unnecessary fix-mingw-snprintf patch for glslang as well as the mention of it in thirdparty/README.md.
-Happens on import by default for all models
-Just works (tm)
-Biasing can be later adjusted per node or per viewport (as well as globally)
-Disabled AABB.get_support test because its broken
Since we clone the environments to build thirdparty code, we don't get an
explicit dependency on the build objects produced by that environment.
So when we update thirdparty code, Godot code using it is not necessarily
rebuilt (I think it is for changed headers, but not for changed .c/.cpp files),
which can lead to an invalid compilation output (linking old Godot .o files
with a newer, potentially ABI breaking version of thirdparty code).
This was only seen as really problematic with bullet updates (leading to
crashes when rebuilding Godot after a bullet update without cleaning .o files),
but it's safer to fix it everywhere, even if it's a LOT of hacky boilerplate.
-Reworked how meshes are treated by importer by using EditorSceneImporterMesh and EditorSceneImporterMeshNode. Instead of Mesh and MeshInstance, this allows more efficient processing of meshes before they are actually registered in the RenderingServer.
-Integrated MeshOptimizer
-Reworked internals of SurfaceTool to use arrays, making it more performant and easy to run optimizatons on.
This reverts commit f697e7879b.
Part of the update introduced a regression:
https://github.com/memononen/nanosvg/issues/188.
We could include a local revert of the problematic commit but let's just do a
full revert to our previous version, and I'll re-update once the regression
is fixed upstream.
Fixes#43641.
Actually sdk-1.2.154.1 for Vulkan-Loader.
glslang is updated to bacaef3237c515e40d1a24722be48c0a0b30f75f which is the
known-good version for Vulkan-ValidationLayers 1.2.154.0.
COPYRIGHT.txt was synced with the current version of the glslang LICENSE.txt,
and `glslang/register_types.cpp` now uses the upstream definition for its
default builtin resource instead of hardcoding it.
This code currently isn't compiled (and cannot compile).
We plan to re-add OpenGL ES-based renderer(s) in Godot 4.0 alongside Vulkan
(probably ES 3.0, possibly also a low-end ES 2.0), but the code will be quite
different so it's not relevant to keep this old Godot 3.2 code.
The `drivers/gles2` code from the `3.2` branch can be used as a reference for
a potential new implementation.
Implements exit codes into the engine so tests can return their statuses.
Ideally we don't do this, and we use FIXUP logic to 'begin' and 'end' the engine execution for tests specifically.
Since realistically we're initialising the engine here we don't want to do that, since String should not require an engine startup to test a single header.
This lowers the complexity of running the unit tests and even for
physics should be possible to implement such a fix.
