- Add support for dispatching input on the render thread (UI thread is the current default) when `input_buffering` and `accumulated_input` are disabled. At the expense of latency, this helps prevent 'heavy' applications / games from blocking the UI thread (the default behavior) which may cause the application to ANR.
- Remove GLSurfaceView logic causing the UI thread to wait on the GL thread during lifecycle events. The removed logic would cause the UI thread to ANR when the GL thread is blocked.
https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/83976 added support for 3D MSAA on the Compatibility renderer, but it also mentions that on platforms other than Android, foveated rendering will not work if MSAA is enabled.
I removed the note saying that 3D MSAA is not supported on compatibility and added a comment mentioning that foveated rendering won't work on platforms other than android if 3D MSAA is enabled and added the alternative/equivalent for desktop.
Folder names ending with one or more `.` characters are not allowed
on Windows, so this would break writing logs, shader cache and other
project-specific files. Trailing periods are now stripped in this case.
On non-Windows platforms, this change still applies in the interest
of portability.
This preserves compatibility when upgrading Godot 4.2 projects which relied on that
path being configured in the editor settings.
The old name also makes sense for this one, it's fine for fbx2gltf_path to be under
a generic fbx category which could have more settings also impacting ufbx.
Disabling V-Sync when using the Compatibility rendering method works
since Godot 4.2 at least.
This also documents the `--disable-vsync` command line argument.
Due to the low resolution of the occlusion buffer, small gaps between occluders can be closed and incorrectly occlude instances which should show through the gaps. To ameliorate this problem, this PR jitters the occlusion buffer over time, making it more likely an instance will be seen through a gap. This is used in conjunction with an occlusion timer per instance, to prevent instances flickering on and off rapidly.
Adds `ui_text_skip_selection_for_next_occurrence` action and related implementation to text editor.
This action is bound `Ctrl+Alt+D` shorcut.
Used in conjonction with `ui_add_skip_selection_for_next_occurrence`, it gives the user the ability to select many occurrences of a selection
and avoid some of them.
Used without a previous selection, the action jumps to the next occurrence of the current word under the caret.
Adds fixed timestep interpolation to the rendering server (2D only).
Switchable on and off with a project setting (default is off).

Defaults to "Auto", which detects the casing based on the
preference of the currently selected language (C# for example
prefers PascalCase whereas GDScript prefers snake_case).
This update introduces a new import method for FBX files using ufbx. If the fbx2gltf import fails, it will use the most recently cached scene from the ufbx import. The process is sped up by introducing threads to load the ufbx portion.
Key changes include:
- Support for importing geometry helper nodes in FBX files.
- Addition of cameras and lights with updated names.
- Removal of the fbx importer manager.
- Introduction of ModelDocument3D and updates to its methods.
- Changes to FBX import options and visibility.
- Updating the documentation and handling some errors.
- Store the original non-unique node, mesh and animation names in FBX and glTF.

This small in-engine documentation change aims to make it easier to
discover ways to handle pixel art aesthetics.
- I have moved 2D pixel snapping settings out of "Advanced." This now matches other pixel-art-friendly settings for
GUI Snapping and Default Texture filtering.
- I've added notes to the project settings and Sprite/AnimatedSprite sources to hint users towards better understanding of why pixelated sprites may not work correctly and what to do about it. This should help users make informed decisions for their needs.
Context: Proper handling of pixel art in Godot is routinely frustrating for new users: I, like others, assumed that Godot would act on pixels, not subpixels, when I was working a pixel art game. I was confused when my interpolations would appear blurry, and when pixel textures would be distorted for no apparent reason (this was because of centering).
I had naively thought that setting Linear interpolation would be the single "it's a pixel art game" toggle, but that only hid the underlying issues until later. I had no idea there was a snap-to-pixel option because it was hidden in the Advanced options, since my default assumption was that a pixel art game would want no subpixels at all.

* Do not print empty line when header is disabled
* Do not print Vulcan header
* Also add "Print header" project setting (default On)
(suggested by @kaissouDev)
* Add docs for the project setting
(with suggestions by @Mickeon and @akien-mga)

The editor setting makes it possible to tweak V-Sync status
independently of the project setting.
Use cases:
- Decrease input lag and increase editor responsiveness when editing
a project that has V-Sync enabled.
- Avoid tearing when editing a project that has V-Sync disabled.
Not everything is yet implemented, either for Godot or personal
limitations (I don't have all hardware in the world). A brief list of
the most important issues follows:
- Single-window only: the `DisplayServer` API doesn't expose enough
information for properly creating XDG shell windows.
- Very dumb rendering loop: this is very complicated, just know that
the low consumption mode is forced to 2000 Hz and some clever hacks are
in place to overcome a specific Wayland limitation. This will be
improved to the extent possible both downstream and upstream.
- Features to implement yet: IME, touch input, native file dialog,
drawing tablet (commented out due to a refactor), screen recording.
- Mouse passthrough can't be implement through a poly API, we need a
rect-based one.
- The cursor doesn't yet support fractional scaling.
- Auto scale is rounded up when using fractional scaling as we don't
have a per-window scale query API (basically we need
`DisplayServer::window_get_scale`).
- Building with `x11=no wayland=yes opengl=yes openxr=yes` fails.
This also adds a new project property and editor setting for selecting the
default DisplayServer to start, to allow this backend to start first in
exported projects (X11 is still the default for now). The editor setting
always overrides the project setting.

Existing shadow caster culling takes no account of the camera.
This PR adds the highly encapsulated class RenderingLightCuller which can cut down the casters in the shadow volume to only those which can cast shadows on the camera frustum.
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.
This commits rewrites the sync logic in a way that the
`use_system_threads_for_low_priority_tasks` setting, which was added due to
the lack of a cross-platform wait-for-multiple-objects functionality, can be
removed (it's as if it was effectively hardcoded to `false`).
With the new implementation, we have the best of both worlds: threads don't
have to poll, plus no bespoke threads are used.
In addition, regarding deadlock prevention, since not every possible case of
wait-deadlock could be avoided, this commits removes the current best-effort
avoidance mechanisms and keeps only a simple, pessimistic way of detection.
It turns out that the only current user of deadlock prevention, ResourceLoader,
works fine with it and so every possible situation in resource loading is now
properly handled, with no possibilities of deadlocking. There's a comment in
the code with further details.
Lastly, a potential for load tasks never being awaited/disposed is cleared.
Fixes#82587 by improving usability of the untyped_declaration warning. This adds a note to the documentation that recommends turning on EditorSettings.text_editor/completion/add_type_hints when the untyped declaration warning is set to warn or error.

Port over the logic from Godot 3.5 for indirect lighting. This should fix many issues about indirect bounces causing more energy and improve the overall quality of the result.
