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 🎆
Moved previously builtin modules 'GameCenter', 'AppStore', 'iCloud' to separate modules to be represented as plugin.
Modified 'ARKit' and 'Camera' to not be builtin into engine and work as plugin.
Changed platform code so it's not affected by the move.
Modified Xcode project file to remove parameters that doesn't make any effect.
Added basic '.gdip' plugin config file.
No need to waste time downloading all this when it's readily available :)
Also use the official action to setup Java 8.
Also build both architectures (armv7 and arm64v8) and generate the APK,
so we can upload it.
Remove now unused and outdated `misc/ci/android-tools-linux.sh`.
Enabled ARC for iOS.
Weakify/Strongify macros for objc blocks.
Removed old version checks.
Specific types for ObjC++ modules to exclude unneeded bridging.
Separate DeviceMetrics class for device specific data.
Replaced old/deprecated functionality.
It's too hard to get compatibility between GNU and BSD sed,
so let's just use perl oneliners.
And improve it to also remove trailing tabs, not just spaces.
Add VMA to iphone platform Use linkflag for iphone building to enforce static linking. Works fine with dynamic '.framework' library
Updated xcode project to use '.a' static library
"Bundle Identifier" is more well-understood among macOS and iOS
developers and is less ambiguous.
This is a slight breaking change as export presets will need to be
updated to account for this change.
See https://github.com/godotengine/godot-docs/pull/3295.
There's a builtin `toolpath` option we can use for that, so no need to hack
around a custom `scons_site` path.
The script requires SCons 3.1.1 or later, so we enable it conditionally.
Follow-up to #32848.
This tool is originally from mongodb.
- Updated CPPSUFFIXES to use scons suffixes
- objective-c files will also be loaded into the compilation database where the compiler / tooling is available to compile the files.
Known limitations:
- This will not work with msvc as your compiler.
Configured for a max line length of 120 characters.
psf/black is very opinionated and purposely doesn't leave much room for
configuration. The output is mostly OK so that should be fine for us,
but some things worth noting:
- Manually wrapped strings will be reflowed, so by using a line length
of 120 for the sake of preserving readability for our long command
calls, it also means that some manually wrapped strings are back on
the same line and should be manually merged again.
- Code generators using string concatenation extensively look awful,
since black puts each operand on a single line. We need to refactor
these generators to use more pythonic string formatting, for which
many options are available (`%`, `format` or f-strings).
- CI checks and a pre-commit hook will be added to ensure that future
buildsystem changes are well-formatted.
As per #36436, we now need C++17's guaranteed copy elision feature to
solve ambiguities in Variant.
Core developers discussed the idea to move from C++14 to C++17 as our
minimum required C++ standard, and all agreed. Note that this doesn't
mean that Godot is going to be written in "modern C++", but we'll use
modern features where they make sense to simplify our "C with classes"
codebase. Apart from new code written recently, most of the codebase
still has to be ported to use newer features where relevant.
Proper support for C++17 means that we need recent compiler versions:
- GCC 7+
- Clang 6+
- VS 2017 15.7+
Additionally, C++17's `std::shared_mutex` (conditionally used by
`vk_mem_alloc.h` when C++17 support is enabled) is only available in
macOS 10.12+, so we increase our minimum supported version.
`git diff-tree` used to fail on the `3.2` branch (and other non-master
branches) as Travis doesn't actually check that branch from the remote:
```
fatal: ambiguous argument '3.2': unknown revision or path not in the
working tree.
```
The exit code would still be 0 so we'd miss badly formatted commits
targeting stable branches.
We do it manually to ensure that it's going to work as we want it.
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!
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.
Travis CI upgraded their Xenial VMs to default to openjdk11, which
is not working properly for sdkmanager, so we can no longer accept
licenses for the SDK.
They don't really seem to care about providing a good alternative
for us from the few threads I read, so let's just force openjdk8
back.
The application module `app` serves double duties of providing the prebuilt Godot binaries ('android_debug.apk', 'android_release.apk') and the Godot custom build template ('android_source.zip').
Mime type definitions are usually named like the mime type they define,
i.e. x-godot-project in our case.
It was introduced with reverse DNS naming as that's what FlatHub favors,
so it will need to be renamed there.
It has been failing since a few days, apparently `sdkmanager --licenses`
is no longer sufficient to accept all licenses, the `platform-tools` install
triggers another license dialog. Now saying yes to all just in case.
Not sure why we switched from homebrew to scons-local anymore,
but pip should work just fine and is recommended by upstream.
Downloads of scons-local from SourceForge were quite iffy, so
this should help avoid CI errors due to not having downloaded
SCons successfully.
Setting Python's user binary PATH seems necessary on Travis/OSX
as per travis-ci/travis-ci#5030 (confirmed that 'scons' is not
in PATH without it).
This should eventually be rewritten to properly test IO features,
but this would be part of a bigger work on adding a proper testing
framework for Godot features.
Fixes#2454.
As of clang-format 6.0.1, putting the `/* clang-format off */` hint
around our "invalid" `[vertex]` and `[shader]` statements isn't enough
to prevent a bogus indent of the next comments and first valid statement,
so we need to enclose that first valid statement in the unformatted chunk.
These files did not serve a real purpose since `icon.png` can be used
as the AppImage icon, and a .desktop file can be found at
`misc/dist/linux/godot.desktop` with the same contents.
Allows using startGame() with main packs exported as .zip, but also any
other custom extension, for example if a web game host does not allow
the .pck filename extension.
Starting from April 2018 Apple no longer accepts apps that do not
support iPhone X. For games this mainly means respecting the safe area,
unobstructed by notch and virtual home button. UI controls must be
placed within the safe area so that users can interact with them.
This commit:
- Adds OS::get_window_safe_area method that returns unobscured area of
the window, where interactive controls should be rendered.
- Reorganizes how launch screens are exported - the previous way was
incorrect and modern iPhones did not pick up the correct screens and
because of that used a non-native resolution to render the game.
- Adds launch screen options for iPhone X.
- Makes launch screens optional in the export template. If not
specified, a white screen will be used.
- Adds App Store icon (1024x1024) export option as it now has to be
bundled with the app instead of being provided in iTunes Connect.
- Fixes crash when launching games in iOS Simulator. It happened because
controllerWasConnected callback came before the engine was
initialized. Now in such case the controllers will be queued up and
registered after initialization is done.
- Fixes issue with the virtual keyboard where for some reason
autocorrection panel would intersect with the keyboard itself and not
allow you to use the top row of the keyboard. This is fixed by
disabling autocorrection altogether.
Closes#17358. Fixes#17428. Fixes#17331.
Works both for the editor and games.
Projects can still use "debug/settings/stdout/print_fps" to enable it
permanently. The --print-fps option takes precedence (so works even if
the project setting is disabled). That setting is also no longer redefined
on the fly based on the verbose flag, that was a mess.
Whether to use WebGL 1.0 or 2.0 can only be determined at runtime after
reading project settings, so check for the lower version.
The test is now in the HTML file, so if desired WebGL 2.0 can be
checked early by changing the behaviour there.
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.
- The header now always ends with exactly one empty line
- Comments after the header are no longer removed
- Improved readability with clearer file names and comments
- EditorExportPlugin's _export_begin accepts all the arguments related
to the current export (is_debug, path, flags).
- EditorExportPlugin API is extended with methods allowing to configure
iOS export: add_ios_framework, add_ios_plist_content,
add_ios_linker_flags, add_ios_bundle_file.
- iOS export template now contains Godot as a static library so that
it can be linked with third-party Frameworks and GDNative static
libraries.
- Adds method to DirAccess for recursive copying of a directory.
- Fixes iOS export to work with Xcode 9 (released recently).
Rename engine.start() to startGame(), new start() takes string arguments
handed directly to main(). Rename Engine.loadEngine() to load().
Add setLocale(), setResizeCanvasOnStart(), setExecutableName() and
preloadFile().
Should fix issues some of us have with `misc/dist/uwp_template/AppxManifest.xml`
always showing up as modified.
Might cause issues on Windows due to the removal of BOMs or change of line endings
in some of the Mono, UWP or gradlew.bat files, we will test and adapt if need be.
These changes allow to open the exported project in XCode and Run it
immediately to begin debugging. Before these changes you'd have to
sign GDNative libs and change Build Configuration manually.
- The export process now builds complete .ipa on macOS, instead of just
creating XCode project.
- The project includes Capabilities games usually require: Game Center,
Push Notifications, In-App Purchase.
- Icons and launch screens can be specified in export preset.
- Implement promise-based JS interface for custom HTML page
integration
- Add download progress callback
- Add progress bar and indeterminate spinner to default HTML page
- Try downloading files multiple times when failing
- Get rid of godotfs.js
- Separate steps for engine initialization, game initialization and game
start
- Allow multiple games on one HTML page
- Substitution placeholders only used in .html file
- Placeholders renamed: $GODOT_BASE => $GODOT_BASENAME,
$GODOT_TMEM -> $GODOT_TOTAL_MEMORY
- Emscripten Module is now Engine.RuntimeEnvironment (no longer a global)
Slimmed down variant from the reverted #8375.
The rationale behind the name change is to give Godot's project file a unique
extension (".godot") that can be registered on the OS to be associated with
the Godot binary (OS registration not implemented here).
This PR also adds the possibility to start the game or editor if launched
with the project.godot passed as argument, which paves the way for allowing
a similar behaviour on a double-click in the OS file manager (code originally
by @Hinsbart).
Closes#6915.
Commits or PRs that do not respect the clang-format style that we
enforce will fail the test.
Adding ubuntu-toolchain-r-test as its libstdc++ is necessary to install
libllvm-3.9.
