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.
Fixes#43733: "creating SpatialMaterial in a separate thread creates invalid
shaders (temporarily)."
The bug occurred because various setters called in materials' constructors add
materials to queues that are processed on the main thread. This means that
when the materials are created in another thread, they can be processed on the
main thread before the constructor has finished.
The fix adds a flag to affected materials that prevents them from being added
to the queue until their constructors have finished initialising all the
members.
This comment is useful to determine the origin of ShaderMaterials
converted from built-in material types (such as CanvasItemMaterial
or SpatialMaterial).
The Godot version is also included in case the shader needs to be
regenerated with a newer engine version.
This commits adds a new emitter type for particles material
and 3D CPU particles. The new emitter is called "ring"
and it can emit either in a ring or cylinder fashion.
This adds the following properties for the emitter:
1. ring_emitter_axis: the axis along which the ring/cylinder
will be constructed
2. ring_emitter_radius: outer radius of the ring/cylinder
3. ring_emitter_inner_radius: inner radius of the cylinder.
when set to zero, particles will emit in the full volume.
4. ring_emitter_height: height of the ring/cylinder emitter.

- Based on C++11's `mutex`
- No more need to allocate-deallocate or check for null
- No pointer anymore, just a member variable
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed
- Simpler for `NO_THREADS`
- `BinaryMutex` added for special cases as the non-recursive version
- `MutexLock` now takes a reference. At this point the cases of null `Mutex`es are rare. If you ever need that, just don't use `MutexLock`.
- `ScopedMutexLock` is dropped and replaced by `MutexLock`, because they were pretty much the same.
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 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
The special case atan(y,0) of the built-in shader function atan(y,x)
returns different results on different devices. So this commit will add
checks when the atan(y,x) function is used in ParticlesMaterial to set
the direction of GPU Particles to make sure the desired values are
returned (act as atan2(y,x)).
(cherry picked from commit 3580ad6005)
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.
Remove animation loop from ParticlesMaterial and move it to
SpatialMaterial for 3D particles and Particles2D for the 2D case.
Added animation to CPUParticles2D as well as the "Convert to
CPUParticles2D" to the PAarticles2D menu.
