The Haiku port now resides at:
https://github.com/godotengine/godot-haiku-platform
While we're happy to support as many Free and Open Source platforms as we can,
we need to put the main focus on the platforms that we can reasonably maintain,
and for Haiku we have been lacking maintainers ever since the port was first
merged in 2015.
The Haiku code has not been compiling and much less working at least since the
release of Godot 3.0, and while some attempts have been made at fixing things,
it's still not functional today in the `3.2` branch (and much less in `master`,
understandably).
Having it in an external repository should hopefully enable Haiku contributors
to fix issues in their own time, and possibly tag versions compatible with
past Godot releases once they are ready.
`OS.shell_open()` will pass on the path directly to the OS' shell
handler (which can handle file paths or URLs). It can't handle
Godot-specific paths, so these need to be converted with
`ProjectSettings.globalize_path()` first.
It was initially implemented in #5871 for Godot 3.0, but never really
completed or thoroughly tested for most platforms. It then stayed in
limbo and nobody seems really keen to finish it, so it's better to
remove it in 4.0, and re-add eventually (possibly with a different API)
if there's demand and an implementation confirmed working on all
platforms.
Closes#8770.
Due to the port to Vulkan and complete redesign of the rendering backend,
the `drivers/gles3` code is no longer usable in this state and is not
planned to be ported to the new architecture.
The GLES2 backend is kept (while still disabled and non-working) as it
will eventually be ported to serve as the low-end renderer for Godot 4.0.
Some GLES3 features might be selectively ported to the updated GLES2
backend if there's a need for them, and extensions we can use for that.
So long, OpenGL driver bugs!
We already removed it from the online docs with #35132.
Currently it can only be "Built-In Types" (Variant types) or "Core"
(everything else), which is of limited use.
We might also want to consider dropping it from `ClassDB` altogether
in Godot 4.0.
This makes it possible to know whether the window is focused
at a given time, without having to track the focus state manually
using `NOTIFICATION_WM_FOCUS_IN` and `NOTIFICATION_WM_FOCUS_OUT`.
This partially addresses #33928.
Linux users should be familiar with "~" so I think it might be unnecessary.
Also changed the file separator in the description to use Windows' instead.
Otherwise we end up fetching values from the current OS instance
when running doctool, so they would change based on the system or
even simply due to changes to the system clipboard.
- Document a few more properties and methods
- Add more information to many classes
- Fix lots of typos and gramar mistakes
- Use [code] tags for parameters consistently
- Use [b] and [i] tags consistently
- Put "Warning:" and "Note:" on their own line to be more visible,
and make them always bold
- Tweak formatting in code examples to be more readable
- Use double quotes consistently
- Add more links to third-party technologies
All 100% completed: MainLoop, Node, Object, Path, Performance,
Reference, Resource, SceneState, SceneTree, UndoRedo.
Also fixed some en_GB occurrences as the reference spelling is en_US.
