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)
Done to ensure that no important identifiers are translatable,
to fix compound strings using the new vformat() function, and
some general English proofreading here and there.
Now you the errors when exporting via godot server binary.
When exporting via non-headless godot, it is useful to have the error
on the console as well.
Also exit and print a list of valid export platforms when
the supplied platform was not found.
This push changes the binary and XML formats and bumps the major version to 2.0. As such, files saved in this version WILL NO LONGER WORK IN PREVIOUS VERSIONS. This compatibility breakage with older versions was required in order to properly provide project refactoring tools.
If I were you, unless you are brave, I would wait a week or two before pulling, in case of bugs :)
Summary of Changes
-New Filesystem dock, with filesystem & tree view modes.
-New refactoring tools, to change or fix dependencies.

Build System:
-Big clean up of SCons, changed how builds are done to a much cleaner method (check the Github Wiki for instructions).
-Deactivated BlackBerry10 (sorry), if no mantainer found (or BlackBerry does not send us a Passort ;), platform will be removed as we have no longer devices to test.
Engine:
-Removed deprecated object and scene format (was in there just for compatibility, not in use since a long time).
-Added ability to open scenes even if a node type was removed (will try to guess the closest type).
-Removed deprecated node types.

-Sprite3D and AnimatedSprite3D support.
-Opaque pre-pass works, is compatible with shadows
-Improved shadow map rendering (can differentiate between plain opaque and opaque with shaders/discard/etc)
-Added option to use alpha discard in FixedMaterial
-Improved Glow FX, many more options (three modes, Additive, Screen and SoftLight), strength and scale
-Ability for Background (image or cubemap) to send to glow buffer
-Dumb Deploy of clients now actually works in Android
-Many Many rendering fixes, 3D is much more usable now.
-fix some menus
-fixed bug in out transition curves
-detect and remove file:/// in collada
-remove multiscript for now
-remove dependencies on mouse in OS, moved to Input
-avoid fscache from screwing up (fix might make it slower, but it works)
-funcref was missing, it's there now
-made GUI Theme editor usable
-editor does not allow to export or create .pck in the same path as a project
-changed .pck format (lacked support for versioning so couldn't change it), previous was causing crashes and is now incompatible, just re-export.
-will not look for .pck files recursively, was causing unexpected behaviors
-fixed execution of Godot in paths with non unicode characters in Windows, OSX and Linux.
-fixed TouchScreenButton with stretch2d
-fixed(?) OSX crash on startup (test!!)
-compilation fixes on windows
-CollisionPolygon editor works again
-find buttons en find dialog
-TileMap editor cleanup (removed "error", made nicer)
-viewport flicker fixed
-make .scn default extension for saving scenes
-export the rest of the network classes to gdscript
