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 🎆
Which means that reduz' beloved style which we all became used to
will now be changed automatically to remove the first empty line.
This makes us lean closer to 1TBS (the one true brace style) instead
of hybridating it with some Allman-inspired spacing.
There's still the case of braces around single-statement blocks that
needs to be addressed (but clang-format can't help with that, but
clang-tidy may if we agree about it).
Part of #33027.
Those were problematic as they call a method of their parent class,
but callable_mp does not allow that unless it's public.
To solve it, we declare a local class that calls the parent class'
method, which now needs to be protected to be accessible in the
derived class.
-Texture renamed to Texture2D
-TextureLayered as base now inherits 2Darray, cubemap and cubemap array
-Removed all references to flags in textures (they will go in the shader)
-Texture3D gone for now (will come back later done properly)
-Create base rasterizer for RenderDevice, RasterizerRD
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.
Using `misc/scripts/fix_headers.py` on all Godot files.
Some missing header guards were added, and the header inclusion order
was fixed in the Bullet module.
I can show you the code
Pretty, with proper whitespace
Tell me, coder, now when did
You last write readable code?
I can open your eyes
Make you see your bad indent
Force you to respect the style
The core devs agreed upon
A whole new world
A new fantastic code format
A de facto standard
With some sugar
Enforced with clang-format
A whole new world
A dazzling style we all dreamed of
And when we read it through
It's crystal clear
That now we're in a whole new world of code
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!
-New SpriteFrames editor, with support for drag&drop, multiple animation
sets, animation speed and loop.
-New AnimatedSprite, with support for all the new features!
AnimatedSprite3D has not been updated yet.
-Added support for drag&drop to other editors, such as resourcepreload,
sample library, etc.

-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.
