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)
It allows binding multiple sockets to the same ADDR:PORT (unlike TCP,
which still requires different ADDR:PORT combinations).
(cherry picked from commit 4b6a35c74a)
UDPServer now uses a single socket which is shared with the
PacketPeerUDP it creates and has a new `poll` function to read incoming
packets on that socket and delivers them to the appropriate peer.
PacketPeerUDP created this way never reads from the socket, but are
allowed to write on it using sendto.
This is needed because Windows (unlike Linux/BSD) does not support
packet routing when multiple sockets are bound on the same address/port.
(cherry picked from commit 147bbe2155)
UDP sockets can be "connected" to filter packets from a specific source.
In case of a bound socket (e.g. server), a new socket can be created on
the same address/port that will receive all packets that are not
filtered by a more specific socket (e.g. the previously connect socket).
This way, a UDPServer can listen to new packets, and return a new
PacketPeerUDP when receiving one, knowing that is a "new client".
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.
This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.
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
- TCP:
- `listen` bind to wildcard "*" -> dual stack socket
- `listen` bind to address -> socket from address type
- `connect` -> resolve using best protocol (UNSPEC), socket from address type
- UDP:
- `listen` bind to wildcard "*" -> dual stack socket
- `listen` bind to address -> socket from address type
- `put_packet`/`put_var` -> resolve using TYPE_ANY (UNSPEC), socket from address type
(to change socket type you must first call `close` it)
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!
PacketPeerUDP/StreamPeerTCP/TCP_Server now uses an instance variable
to store the selected ip_type (IPv4/IPv6/ANY, where ANY = dual stack).
All calls to resolve addresses, sending/receving data, connecting/listening
will use that socket type.

Curse the day I decided to port UDP code, as it ended up
being two nights of work. At least It's done now (I hope).
-Fixed UDP Support, API seems stable
-Added UDP Chat demo (chat that can lose your packets, heh)
-Added helpers to areas and bodies to get list of collided bodies and contained bodies.
-Sped up screen/viewport capture code.
-Added code to save an image as PNG
-Small fix so scripts register their singletons after modules did.
