It's supposed to be something stable that can be used to identify the engine
(using an equality check), so having the version number in there defeats
the purpose.
While at it, there is no need to prefix it with a second `"GodotEngine"`, nor
to copy the static C string into a C++ string to then extract a C string
from it :)
This can be used to distinguish between integrated, dedicated, virtual
and software-emulated GPUs. This in turn can be used to automatically
adjust graphics settings, or warn users about features that may run
slowly on their hardware.
Split instance and physical device selection function and move device selection to window creation, to reject devices without present capability.
Add device preferred type check in discrete > integrated > virtual > cpu > other order.
Add device list printout.
Add command line argument to override device selection.
Sets `AlignOperands` to `DontAlign`.
`clang-format` developers seem to mostly care about space-based indentation and
every other version of clang-format breaks the bad mismatch of tabs and spaces
that it seems to use for operand alignment. So it's better without, so that it
respects our two-tabs `ContinuationIndentWidth`.
This is important information to include in bug reports for exported
projects, and is consistent with the behavior found in the GLES3 and
GLES2 renderers in `3.x`.
* Multisampling was wrongly selected, possibly fixes#49937
* Image semaphore acquisition is now per window, possibly fixes#41614
Please make sure to test the above two issues again, since I can't reproduce either anyway.
This unblocks launching on Linux laptops that default to the integrated
GPU which can not handle Vulkan in many instances.
Ideally a manual device selection, or an option for the optimal selection
strategy should be provided via CLI or config, but for the time being
this will unblock the Linux devs.
Partially addresses #42348 and #43714
-Added more finegrained control in RenderingDevice API
-Optimized barriers (use less ones for thee same)
-General optimizations
-Shadows render all together unbarriered
-GI can render together with shadows.
-SDFGI can render together with depth-preoass.
-General fixes
-Added GPU detection
-Removed sync to draw, now everything syncs to draw by default.
-Fixed many validation layer errors.
-Added support for VkImageViewUsageCreateInfo to fix validation layer warnings.
-Texture, buffer, raster and compute functions now all allow spcifying which barriers will be used.
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 🎆
