Random-access access to `List` when iterating is `O(n^2)` (`O(n)` when
accessing a single element)
* Removed subscript operator, in favor of a more explicit `get`
* Added conversion from `Iterator` to `ConstIterator`
* Remade existing operations into other solutions when applicable
This allows Godot to automatically compress meshes to save a lot of bandwidth.
In general, this requires no interaction from the user and should result in
no noticable quality loss.
This scheme is not backwards compatible, so we have provided an upgrade
mechanism, and a mesh versioning mechanism.
Existing meshes can still be used as a result, but users can get a
performance boost by reimporting assets.
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".
Make the filter mode of the texture preview match the node/resource
being edited where applicable, and nearest neighbor with mipmaps as a
fallback.
Make the Edit Region button for Sprite3D only appear when region is
enabled, to match behavior of Sprite2D.
Fix the editor not correctly clearing reference to previously edited
resources, resulting in a visual bug displaying the incorrect texture.
If the `speed_scale` is set to a negative value, the animation plays in reverse.
The second parameter of `play()` still reverses as before. if `speed_scale` and the second parameter of `play()` is true, the animation plays forward.
Also updates the documentation to better describe the pausing and playing behaviour.
Add the following properties to AnimatedSprite3D:
- `backwards` parameter in `play()`;
- `speed_scale`.
Both classes' internals are more similar, down to the line spacings. They've also been updated to be clearer and less inconsistent (e.g. `!frames.is_valid()` -> `frames.is_null()`, use SceneStringNames instead of CoreStringNames, rename the internal _queue_update to _queue_redraw)
This makes the default behavior consistent between SpriteBase3D,
BaseMaterial3D and imported glTF scene materials.
Alpha scissor threshold property hints now allows for more precise
adjustments as well.
