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!
(cherry picked from commit c7bc44d5ad)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-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!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-If re-importing from the "dependency changed" dialog, edited scene will keep the local changes.
-Imported scene will keep track of changes in the source asset
-Geometry changes in source geometry or nodes with a different transform will be updated.
-Materials will be kept if changed locally.
-New nodes added will be kept
-If nodes were reparented or renamed, they will still keep track
-Deleted notes will be restored, use the -noimp option to avoid this.
-In general, you can trust that if you do local modifications to the imported scene, they will not be erased after re-import.
-Erasing your changes is done by re-importing from the "Re-Import" menu, re-opening the "Import 3D Scene" dialog. This wil re-import fresh.
Overall, This should allow you to work on a scene and see changes made to 3D assets in real-time.
So Please test!!
-Object Manipulator Gizmo keeps proper scale in all windows and projections, (configurable on settings too).
-Manipulator gizmos for other objects (camera, shapes, etc) massively improved and bug-fixed.
-Manipulator gizmos are different for edited object and other objects.
-Properly highlight manipulator gizmo handles when hovered.
-Fixed bugs in fragment program when using more than 1 light together.
-Reload png/jpg files automatically in editor if edited externally.
-Added 4-stages Parallel Split Shadow Mapping, to improve shadow quality in large scenarios
-Added PCF13 to improve smoothness of shadow borders
-General optimization of directional light shadow mapping for Orthogonal,PSM and PSSM.
-Fixed normal mapping when importing DAE files, works nicely now.
