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 🎆
It was initially implemented in #5871 for Godot 3.0, but never really
completed or thoroughly tested for most platforms. It then stayed in
limbo and nobody seems really keen to finish it, so it's better to
remove it in 4.0, and re-add eventually (possibly with a different API)
if there's demand and an implementation confirmed working on all
platforms.
Closes#8770.
- Go up was not working, simplify was used one time too much
- Added GestureHandler
- Added doubleTap to recognize open dir
- Fixed scroll where sometimes the scroll jumped between start and end when pointer was outside or on the edge of the scroll area
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 is a new singleton where camera sources such as webcams or cameras on a mobile phone can register themselves with the Server.
Other parts of Godot can interact with this to obtain images from the camera as textures.
This work includes additions to the Visual Server to use this functionality to present the camera image in the background. This is specifically targetted at AR applications.
Also drop some unused files.
Renamed:
- `platform/iphone/sem_iphone.h` -> `semaphore_iphone.h`
(same for `osx`)
- `platform/uwp/gl_context_egl.h` -> `context_egl_uwp.h`
- in `platform/windows`: `context_gl_win.h`, `crash_handler_win.h`,
`godot_win.cpp`, `joypad.h` and `key_mapping_win.h` all renamed to
use `windows`. Some classes renamed accordingly too.
- `EditorExportAndroid` and `EditorExportUWP` renamed to
`EditorExportPlatformAndroid` and `EditorExportPlatformUWP`
- `power_android` and `power_osx` renamed to `PowerAndroid` and
`PowerOSX`
- `OSUWP` renamed to `OS_UWP`
Dropped:
- `platform/windows/ctxgl_procaddr.h`
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.
-Project/Editor settings now show tooltips properly
-Settings thar require restart now will show a restart warning
-Video driver is now visible all the time, can be changed easily
-Added function to request current video driver
Now generating mouse events from touch is optional (on by default) and it's performed by `InputDefault` instead of having each OS abstraction doing it. (*)
The translation algorithm waits for a touch index to be pressed and tracks it translating its events to mouse events until it is raised, while ignoring other pointers.
Furthermore, to avoid an stuck "touch mouse", since not all platforms may report touches raised when the window is unfocused, it checks if touches are still down by the time it's focused again and if so it resets the state of the emulated mouse.
*: In the case of Windows, since it already provides touch-to-mouse translation by itself, "echo" mouse events are filtered out to have it working like the rest.
On X11 a little hack has been needed to avoid a case of a spurious mouse motion event that is generated during touch interaction.
Plus: Improve/fix tracking of current mouse position.
** Summary of changes to settings: **
- `display/window/handheld/emulate_touchscreen` becomes `input/pointing_devices/emulate_touch_from_mouse`
- New setting: `input/pointing_devices/emulate_mouse_from_touch`
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.
On mobile platforms virtual keyboards take up significant amount of
screen space and UI containing a text box may need to be adjusted
after the keyboard appears to keep the text box visible to user. This
commit adds a way to obtain virtual keyabord height so that controls
are aware of how much they need to move.
Previously logging logic was scattered over OS class implementations
with plenty of duplication. Major changes in this commit:
- Extracted logging logic into a separate Logger hierarchy. It allows
easy configuration of logging mechanism depending on compile-time or
run-time configuration.
- Implemented RotatedFileLogger which is usually used with StdLogger,
providing persistency of logs. It is often important to be able to
obtain logs of the game even in production to be able to understand
what happened prior to some problem. On mobile there previously was
no way to obtain the logs aside from having the device connected to
your machine.
- flush() is not performed in release mode for every logged line. It
is only performed for errors.
