As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
Backported from #70885.
When AnimatedSprite2D::play() was called before SpriteFrames has been initialized, a crach occurred (issue #46013).
Modification : An error message on null check test has been added to prevent crash.
Fix#46013.

More work is needed to make sure that those options actually solve users' issues, so we prefer to remove the options for 3.2.4 and revisit for a future release.
The rendering/quality/2d section of project settings is becoming considerably expanded in 3.2.4, and arguably was not the correct place for settings that were not really to do with quality.
3.2.4 is the last sensible opportunity we will have to move these settings, as the only existing one likely to break compatibility in a small way is `pixel_snap`, and given that the whole snapping area is being overhauled we can draw attention to the fact it has changed in the release notes.
Class reference is also updated and slightly improved.
`pixel_snap` is renamed to `gpu_pixel_snap` in the project settings and code to help differentiate from CPU side transform snapping.
Two common problems have emerged as a result of transform snapping:
1) Camera jitter with a camera following a snapped object
2) Pixel gaps between e.g. a platform and a player, where a platform rounds down and a player rounds up
Using round seems to greatly reduce problems due to camera jitter. It also may prove better for pixel gaps because pixel art is often designed on a grid, so whole numbers are too expected, which are unstable with floor().
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 🎆

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.
When playing an animation in reverse, the animation initially starts on frame 0. If it loops, it'll play normally by going to the last frame of the animation, but if it does not... it prematurely stops, since it is already on the last frame (for reversed animation) by starting on frame 0.
This was a regression in 3.1 and later from the new inspector, where
PROPERTY_HINT_SPRITE_FRAME was not fully re-implemented. It's meant to
be a normal PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE which also automatically increments its
value when keyed in the animation player.
To avoid code duplication, I made the frames properties use the actual
PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE and introduced a PROPERTY_USAGE_KEYING_INCREMENTS
usage flag instead.
- Refer to properties explicitly when possible
- When multiple warnings are returned, always separate them by one
blank line to make them easier to distinguish
- Improve grammar and formatting
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.
The signal animation_finished is now fired after all values have been changed so changes to the animation can be done without animation_finished without generating unexpected behavior.
This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.
