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 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
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.
Assigns a default value in VMap and HashMap when new keys are created using
the array operator so they are the same as the other Map classes.
The non const version of the array operator can be used for both assigning a
value and retrieving a writeable version. In the Map template classes the
assign version is being used to create new keys, but sometimes not assigning
a value when retrieving a writeable version.
This does not address the problem that the default value may not be the
correct one, and it does not address the problem that new keys probably
should not be created when the array operator is used. These problems will
be addressed in a separate commit.
Condensed some if and ERR statements. Added dots to end of error messages
Couldn't figure out EXPLAINC. These files gave me trouble: core/error_macros.h, core/io/file_access_buffered_fa.h (where is it?),
core/os/memory.cpp,
drivers/png/png_driver_common.cpp,
drivers/xaudio2/audio_driver_xaudio2.cpp (where is it?)
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.
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.
Based off of perf-based prediction misses these seem to be the
lowest-hanging fruit for quick (albeit small) improvements. These are
based on:
* baking a complex lightmap
* running platformer 3d
* running goltorus
Plus the addition of some convenience CRASH_* error macros.
Plus transient avoidance of the flood of warnings emitted by Clang when checking 'this' for NULL.
Plus explanation about the do-while(0) loop in some error macros.
I can show you the code
Pretty, with proper whitespace
Tell me, coder, now when did
You last write readable code?
I can open your eyes
Make you see your bad indent
Force you to respect the style
The core devs agreed upon
A whole new world
A new fantastic code format
A de facto standard
With some sugar
Enforced with clang-format
A whole new world
A dazzling style we all dreamed of
And when we read it through
It's crystal clear
That now we're in a whole new world of code
This fixes HashMap where a key or part of a key is a floating point
number. To fix this the following has been done:
* HashMap now takes an extra template argument Comparator. This class
gets used to compare keys. The default Comperator now works correctly
for common types and floating point numbets.
* Variant implements ::hash_compare() now. This function implements
nan-safe comparison for all types with components that contain floating
point numbers.
* Variant now has a VariantComparator which uses Variant::hash_compare()
safely compare floating point components of variant's types.
* The hash functions for floating point numbers will now normalize NaN
values so that all floating point numbers that are NaN hash to the same
value.
C++ module writers that want to use HashMap internally in their modules
can now also safeguard against this crash by defining their on
Comperator class that safely compares their types.
GDScript users, or writers of modules that don't use HashMap internally
in their modules don't need to do anything.
This fixes#7354 and fixes#6947.
That year should bring the long-awaited OpenGL ES 3.0 compatible renderer
with state-of-the-art rendering techniques tuned to work as low as middle
end handheld devices - without compromising with the possibilities given
for higher end desktop games of course. Great times ahead for the Godot
community and the gamers that will play our games!
-IMA-ADPCM support for samples, this means that sound effects can be compressed and use 4 timess less RAM.
-New 3D import workflow based on Wavefront OBJ. Import single objects as mesh resources instead of full scenes. Many people prefers to work this way. Just like the rest of the imported resources, these are updated in realtime if modified externally.
-Mesh resources now support naming surfaces. This helps reimporting to identify which user-created materials must be kept.
-Several fixes and improvements to SurfaceTool.
-Anti Aliasing added to WorldEnvironment effects (using FXAA)
-2D Physics bodies (RigidBody, KinematicBody, etc), Raycasts, Tilemap, etc support collision layers. This makes easy to group which objects collide against which.
-2D Trigger shapes can now also trigger collision reporting in other 2D bodies (it used to be in Area2D before)
-Viewport render target textures can now be filtered.
-Few fixes in GDscript make it easier to work with static functions and class members.
-Several and many bugfixes.
