Godot supports many different compilers and for production releases we
have to support 3 currently: GCC8, Clang6, and MSVC2017. These compilers
all do slightly different things with -ffast-math and it is causing
issues now. See #24841, #24540, #10758, #10070. And probably other
complaints about physics differences between release and release_debug
builds.
I've done some performance comparisons on Linux x86_64. All tests are
ran 20 times.

I have also looked at FPS numbers for tps-demo, 3d platformer, 2d
platformer, and sponza and could not find any measurable difference.
I believe that given the issues and oft-reported (physics) glitches on
release builds I believe that the couple of percent of tight-loop
floating point performance regression is well worth it.
This fixes#24540 and fixes#24841
Also made LINK and CXXFLAGS configurable as command line options.
Note that LINK currently expects the *compiler* that will be used
for linking and will call its configured linker behind the scenes
(so g++, clang++, etc., not ld.gold). See #15364 for details.
This release hides many struct members which provides easier forward
compatibility but is a break from previous releases. A few small macros
provide compatibility between both 1.1.0 and 1.0.x.
Fixes#8624.
Tried to organize the configure(env) calls in sections, using the same order
for all platforms whenever possible.
Apart from cosmetic changes, the following issues were fixed:
- Android: cleanup linkage, remove GLESv1_CM and GLESv2
- iPhone: Remove obsolete "ios_gles22_override" option
- OSX:
* Fix bits detection (default to 64) and remove obsolete "force_64_bits" option
(closes#9449)
* Make "fat" bits argument explicit
- Server: sync with X11
- Windows: clean up old DirectX 9 stuff
- X11:
* Do not require system OpenSSL for building (closes#9443)
* Fix typo'ed use_leak_sanitizer option
* Fix .llvm suffix overriding custom extra_suffix
All the warnings are factored out of the platform-specific files and moved to
SConstruct. Will have to check that it does not introduce regressions on some
platforms/compilers.
(cherry picked from commit 31107daa1a)
This was the behaviour when building Godot 2.1, which allows to build against
Ubuntu 12.04 and its freetype that links old libpng12, while still bundling
libpng16.
This reverts commits 5fa1bb331a
and ec4be71fad.
Looks like Debian/Ubuntu are not even shipping libpng16 nowadays in their
stable releases, we'll have to go back to statically linking our own
libpng16 to wait for them to stop being 5 years behind everybody.
Not fully happy about the way this one interacts with the various
platforms. Maybe the platform_config.h should be generated by the
SCsub instead of passing a define just to know where is the header.

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.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
3D Physics:
-Fixed "Bounce" parameter in 3D
-Fixed bug affecting Area (sometims it would not detect properly)
-Vehicle Body has seen heavy work
-Added Query API for doing space queries in 3D. Needs some docs though.
-Added JOINTS! Adapted Bullet Joints: and created easy gizmos for setting them up:
-PinJoint
-HingeJoint (with motor)
-SliderJoint
-ConeTwistJoint
-Generic6DOFJoint
-Added OBJECT PICKING! based on the new query API. Any physics object now (Area or Body) has the following signals and virtual functions:
-input_event (mouse or multitouch input over the body)
-mouse_enter (mouse entered the body area)
-mouse_exit (mouse exited body area)
For Area it needs to be activated manually, as it isn't by default (ray goes thru).
Other:
-Begun working on Windows 8 (RT) port. Compiles but does not work yet.
-Added TheoraPlayer library for improved to-texture and portable video support.
-Fixed a few bugs in the renderer, collada importer, collada exporter, etc.
