This non-obvious behavior can take a while to discover and fix,
so it's important to mention it in the class reference.
(cherry picked from commit 554742312d)
Allows users to override default API usage, in order to get best performance on different platforms.
Also changes the default legacy flags to use STREAM rather than DYNAMIC.
Added note to say that custom shaders operate on VERTEX after the transform with software skinning rather than before (as is the case with hardware skinning).
Changes default ninepatch mode to preserve compatibility, and renames default mode to 'fixed'.
Also adds an editor restart to changing ninepatch mode and software skinning, which will be more user friendly.
More work is needed to make sure that those options actually solve users' issues, so we prefer to remove the options for 3.2.4 and revisit for a future release.
The rendering/quality/2d section of project settings is becoming considerably expanded in 3.2.4, and arguably was not the correct place for settings that were not really to do with quality.
3.2.4 is the last sensible opportunity we will have to move these settings, as the only existing one likely to break compatibility in a small way is `pixel_snap`, and given that the whole snapping area is being overhauled we can draw attention to the fact it has changed in the release notes.
Class reference is also updated and slightly improved.
`pixel_snap` is renamed to `gpu_pixel_snap` in the project settings and code to help differentiate from CPU side transform snapping.
Antialiasing is not supported for batched polys. Currently due to the fallback mechanism, skinned antialiased polys will be rendered without applying animation.
This PR simply treats such polys as if antialiasing had not been selected. The class reference is updated to reflect this.
This suppresses the blocky shadow appearance, bringing the shadow rendering
much closer to GLES3. This soft filter is more demanding as it requires
more lookups, but it makes PCF13 shadows more usable.
The soft PCF filter was adapted from three.js.
This can be used in server builds for journalctl compatibility.

Fixes crash when exiting with --verbose with leaked resources
(cherry picked from commit 25c4dacb88)
This adds a new project setting (`physics/common/enable_pause_aware_picking`). It's disabled by default.
When enabled, it changes the way 2D & 3D physics picking behaves in relation to pause:
- When pause is set, every collision object that is hovered or captured (3D only) is released from that condition, getting the relevant mouse-exit callback., unless its pause mode makes it immune from pause.
- During the pause. picking only considers collision objects immune from pause, sending input events and enter/exit callbacks to them as expected.
- When pause is left, nothing happens. This is a big difference with the classic behavior, which at this point would process all the input events that have been queued against the current state of the 2D/3D world (in other words, checking them against the current position of the objects instead of those at the time of the events).
- Fix Embree runtime when using MinGW (patch by @RandomShaper).
- Fix baking of lightmaps on GridMaps.
- Fix some GLSL errors.
- Fix overflow in the number of shader variants (GLES2).
Complete rewrite of spatial partitioning using a bounding volume hierarchy rather than octree.
Switchable in project settings between using octree or BVH for rendering and physics.
It can be enabled in the Project Settings
(`rendering/quality/filters/use_debanding`). It's disabled
by default as it has a small performance impact and can make
PNG screenshots much larger (due to how dithering works).
As a result, it should be enabled only when banding is noticeable enough.
Since debanding requires a HDR viewport to work, it's only supported
in the GLES3 backend.
Another bug in the octree has been discovered which can cause flickering in rare circumstances : #42895
For safety until this is fixed properly this PR reverts the default state of the octree to match the old behaviour, which doesn't appear exhibit the bug (or at least not as readily).
Batching is mostly separated into a common template which can be used with multiple backends (GLES2 and GLES3 here). Only necessary specifics are in the backend files.
Batching is extended to cover more primitives.
Option in MeshInstance to enable software skinning, in order to test
against the current USE_SKELETON_SOFTWARE path which causes problems
with bad performance.
