Which allows editable data associated with a particular class instead of
the instance. Scripts with static variables are kept in memory
indefinitely unless the `@static_unload` annotation is used or the
`static_unload()` method is called on the GDScript.
If the custom function `_static_init()` exists it will be called when
the class is loaded, after the static variables are set.
Removes documentation generation (docgen) from the GDScript compiler to
its own file. Adds support for GDScript enums and signal parameters and
quite a few other assorted fixes and improvements.
This PR removes a check for whether a datatype is a meta type when
generating a datatype's to_string() result. This means that error
messages that fail to find the type will now print their class names,
which is much more useful when trying to identify errors.
- Allow identifiers similar to keywords if they are in ASCII range.
- Allow constants to be treated as regular identifiers.
- Allow keywords that can be used as identifiers in expressions.
- Adds a list of default levels for all warning so they can be set
individually.
- Add warnings set by default to error for:
- Using `get_node()` without `@onready`.
- Using `@onready` together with `@export`.
- Inferring a static type with a Variant value.
- Overriding a native engine method.
- Adjust how annotations to ignore warnings are treated so they also
apply to method parameters.
- Clean up a bit how ignored warnings are set. There were two sets but
only one was actually being used.
- Set all warnings to the `WARN` level for tests, so they they can be
properly tested.
- Fix enum types in native methods signatures being set to `int`.
- Fix native enums being treated as Dictionary by mistake.
- Make name of native enum types use the class they are defined in, not
the direct super class of the script. This ensures they are always
equal even when coming from different sources.
- Fix error for signature mismatch that was only showing the first
default argument as having a default. Now it shows for all.

The check for existence of `return` only existed on debug builds for
match branches. This could lead on an invalid error after exporting. Now
this is checked on relase too, so it works the same as the editor.
The keyword is confusing and rarely is used in the intended way. It is
removed now in favor of a future feature (pattern guards) to avoid
breaking compatibility later.
This is using an adapted version of UAX#31 to not rely on the ICU
database (which isn't available in builds without TextServerAdvanced).
It allows most characters used in diverse scripts but not everything.
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".
For arrays, specifically check if it's a string array and pass the
type on to the editor. For dictionaries, save the hint on the type and
use it later to draw the multiline editor, except for when adding a
string key, because that doesn't make much sense. All string values
however will be drawn as multiline.
- RPC configurations are now dictionaries.
- Script.get_rpc_methods renamed to Script.get_rpc_config.
- Node.rpc[_id] and Callable.rpc now return an Error.
- Refactor MultiplayerAPI to allow extension.
- New MultiplayerAPI.rpc method with Array argument (for scripts).
- Move the default MultiplayerAPI implementation to a module.
Implement built-in classes Vector4, Vector4i and Projection.
* Two versions of Vector4 (float and integer).
* A Projection class, which is a 4x4 matrix specialized in projection types.
These types have been requested for a long time, but given they were very corner case they were not added before.
Because in Godot 4, reimplementing parts of the rendering engine is now possible, access to these types (heavily used by the rendering code) becomes a necessity.
**Q**: Why Projection and not Matrix4?
**A**: Godot does not use Matrix2, Matrix3, Matrix4x3, etc. naming convention because, within the engine, these types always have a *purpose*. As such, Godot names them: Transform2D, Transform3D or Basis. In this case, this 4x4 matrix is _always_ used as a _Projection_, hence the naming.
