* NOTIFICATION_MOVED_IN_PARENT makes node children management very inefficient.
* Replaced by a NOTIFICATION_CHILD_ORDER_CHANGED (and children_changed signal).
* Most of the previous tasks carried out by NOTIFICATION_MOVED_IN_PARENT are now done not more than a single time per frame.
This PR breaks compatibility (although this notification was very rarely used, even within the engine), but provides an alternate way to do the same.
Adds optional hierarchical culling to the 2D rendering (within VisualServer).
Each canvas item maintains a bound in local space of the item itself and all child / grandchild items. This allows branches to be culled at once when they don't intersect a viewport.
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".
Backported from #70885.
Some compilers (notably MSVC) were using signed values for bitfield enums. This was causing problems where 2 bits were used to store 4 or less enum values, where they were being treated as negative numbers.
This PR explicitly requests these enums to be treated as unsigned values.
Exposes the "interpolated" flag on nodes via a property, physics_interpolation_mode.
Mode can be INHERIT, OFF and ON. This makes it easy to turn off interpolation for nodes in the editor, versus via code.
Adds fixed timestep interpolation to the visual server.
Switchable on and off with project setting.
This version does not add new API for set_transform etc, when nodes have the interpolated flag set they will always use interpolation.
- Regarding preservation of owner, `free()` and `remove_child()` now behave the same: owner is kept during `tree_exiting` signal and `null` during `tree_exited`.
- Superfluous code to handle cancelation of ownership is removed.
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 🎆

Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.
