This makes it much faster to get started with Direct3D 12 builds,
as you only need to run `python .\misc\scripts\install_d3d12_sdk_windows.py`
then run `scons d3d12=yes`.
This installs DirectX Shader Compiler, Mesa NIR, WinPixEventRuntime
and DirectX 12 Agility SDK.
- Define a default path that uses the locations from the script.
- Now the default path is in "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Godot\build_deps\"
- Updated CI to use this new python script.

This works even if file logging is disabled in the project settings,
or for the editor/project manager.
`--log-file`'s value can be an absolute path or relative to the project
directory (similar to existing arguments like `--write-movie`).
Adds a new system to automatically reorder commands, perform layout transitions and insert synchronization barriers based on the commands issued to RenderingDevice.
It only introduced a difference in a .glsl file, which I've worked
around by removing an empty line. This keeps formatting consistent
between clang-format 15 and 16.
Also added a change in the 3-to-4 project converter to fix bogus
formatting in clang-format < 17.
This allows Godot to automatically compress meshes to save a lot of bandwidth.
In general, this requires no interaction from the user and should result in
no noticable quality loss.
This scheme is not backwards compatible, so we have provided an upgrade
mechanism, and a mesh versioning mechanism.
Existing meshes can still be used as a result, but users can get a
performance boost by reimporting assets.
The UWP platform port was never ported to the Godot 4.0+ API,
and it's now accumulating bitrot as it doesn't compile, and thus
we no longer propagate platform changes in it.
So we finally remove to acknowledge this state. There's still some
interest in reviving the UWP port eventually, especially as support
for Direct3D 12 will soon be merged, but when that happens it will
be easiest to redo it from scratch.
- Add compatibility methods for `RenderingDevice::shader_create_from_bytecode`
and `CodeEdit::get_text_for_symbol_loopup`.
- Silence errors which now have compatibility methods.
- Acknowledge GraphEdit/GraphNode compat breakage, intended and WIP.
This allows limiting framerate on any project, which is useful to
reduce power usage and latency with certain setups (such as VRR displays).
This is particularly useful in projects that do not expose a setting to change
the FPS limit. While external FPS limiters can be used, they can be cumbersome
to set up and result in increased input lag compared to a built-in FPS limiter.
- Ensure that multiple changes to one method cannot hide each other in the CI.
- Check virtual methods for changes.
- Compare the detailed changes to a method.
- Compare enums.
- Fix comparing global enums.
- Use `vformat` to build error messages.
Move the benchmarking measuring methods from `Engine` to `OS` to allow for platform specific overrides (e.g: can be used to hook into platform specific benchmarking and tracing capabilities).
This helps to find such classes without digging
through the rest of the class reference.
Editor-only classes can still be found under
your normal "Node" and "Resource" types.
This also fixes a typo and a missed case from the recent platform docs PR.
- file_format, header_guards and clang-format benefit from this short list.
- dotnet-format, Python and JS checks don't, but they're only relevant for
PRs changing a specific set of files, so we skip them when those files
aren't modified.
The logic to get changed files only works reliably for:
- Pull request events
- Non-force pushed push events
So when force pushing a branch in your fork, or creating a new branch,
it will still scan all files as fallback.
Upgraded CI runner to Ubuntu 22.04 so we get clang-format 14 out of the box,
so we don't need to install a custom version (saves ~15 s). We also cache
the APT dependencies to speed up the build and avoid flaky Ubuntu/Microsoft
repos.
GitHub Actions seems to be hiding colored whitespace, and after lots of
attempts I couldn't find a way to work it around.
So instead I'm using a perl expression to replace trailing spaces with
`·` and tabs with `<TAB>` in the ANSI colored diff output. This ensure
that they're visible, and they are properly colored as expected too.
4 years of development.
12,000 merged pull requests.
7,000 fixed issues.
1,500 individual contributors across engine and docs.
The Godot 4.0 release is by all metrics our biggest release so far.
No stone has been left unturned, all parts of the engine have been
modernized, refactored, overhauled, rewritten, redesigned.
Our work is far from done. Many areas still have significant known issues,
and will require focused work from all willing contributors to fix blocking
bugs, implement missing features, optimize for performance or compatibility,
and improve the user experience.
But Godot 4.0 marks the start of the new, modern Godot Engine, and a solid
foundation for us all to build upon. Future 4.x releases will come with a
much faster cadence, enabling us to iterate quickly on new features and
improvements to what we already provide.
To all of you who were involved in making Godot 4.0 what it is today, however
big or small your contributions were:
THANK YOU!
This was a massive undertaking, and you all participated in unique and
wonderful ways to build a free and open source game engine for everyone to
use and enjoy. You are breathtaking! <3
The default environment already includes everything we need to build
all our configurations.
Remove custom SwiftShader setup as lavapipe should now be good enough,
but we need to install the latest one.
