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 🎆
The calls to the BVH need to use the world space AABB, rather than local space for it to work. Also, update was not being called which is required to update the AABB as objects move.
Blendshapes without a skeleton already worked.
However, due to a faulty ERR_FAIL_COND, it was impossible to create a mesh with both bones and blendshapes.
This also fixes an assumption that all surfaces reference the same number of bones as surface 0.
-Much greater pairing/unpairing performance
-For now, using it for culling too, but this will change in a couple of days.
-Added a paged allocator, to efficiently alloc/free some types of objects.
Use double instead of int for the p_lod_distance_multiplier default value in
RendererSceneRenderForward::_render_shadow to match parent default value in
RendererSceneRenderRD::_render_shadow
This makes it possible to view far away objects without
having to tweak any settings. This results in a more usable
editor when working on large-scale levels.
This change should have no impact on performance, but note that
Z-fighting will be visible at a distance. This can be made less
visible by increasing the Znear value (however, doing so will cause
nearby surfaces to disappear).
This change was also applied to the editor, but it will only
apply to newly created scenes.
This also changes the default camera settings in the glTF importer
to match the Camera node's defaults.
-Happens on import by default for all models
-Just works (tm)
-Biasing can be later adjusted per node or per viewport (as well as globally)
-Disabled AABB.get_support test because its broken
Since we clone the environments to build thirdparty code, we don't get an
explicit dependency on the build objects produced by that environment.
So when we update thirdparty code, Godot code using it is not necessarily
rebuilt (I think it is for changed headers, but not for changed .c/.cpp files),
which can lead to an invalid compilation output (linking old Godot .o files
with a newer, potentially ABI breaking version of thirdparty code).
This was only seen as really problematic with bullet updates (leading to
crashes when rebuilding Godot after a bullet update without cleaning .o files),
but it's safer to fix it everywhere, even if it's a LOT of hacky boilerplate.
We haven't had a proper implementation for COMPRESS_PVRTC2 (which is PVRTC1 2-bpp) in years,
so let's drop it instead of keeping a compress type which doesn't work.
The other enum values were renamed to clarify that our PVRTC2 and PVRTC4 are respectively
PVRTC1 2-bpp and PVRTC1 4-bpp. PVRTC2 2-bpp and 4-bpp are not implemented yet.
And fixups:
- Add missing bindings in RenderingServer
- Remove duplicate ArrayMesh enum bindings (they're in Mesh already)
- Remove redundant _unhandled_key_input binding in Control (it's in Node
already)
-Changed how mesh data is organized, hoping to make it more efficient on Vulkan and GLES.
-Removed compression, it now always uses the most efficient format.
-Added support for custom arrays (up to 8 custom formats)
-Added support for 8 weights in skeleton data.
-Added a simple optional versioning system for imported assets, to reimport if binary is newer
-Fixes #43979 (I needed to test)
WARNING:
-NOT backwards compatible with previous 4.x-devel, will most likely never be, but it will force reimport scenes due to version change.
-NOT backwards compatible with 3.x scenes, this will be eventually re-added.
-Skeletons not working any longer, will fix in next PR.
Allow gradients and 2d images.
Use shader versions for LUT in tonemap

- Fixes Godot physics failing when the cast Shape is inside of, or
already colliding with another Shape.
- Fixes Bullet physics failing when there is no motion.
- Ensures Godot and Bullet physics behave the same.
- Updates the documentation to exclude the caveats for the failures and
differences.
