Upon investigating the extremely slow MSVC build times in #80513, I noticed
that while Godot policy is to never use exceptions, we weren't enforcing it
with compiler flags, and thus still included exception handling code and
stack unwinding.
This is wasteful on multiple aspects:
- Binary size: Around 20% binary size reduction with exceptions disabled
for both MSVC and GCC binaries.
- Compile time:
* More than 50% build time reduction with MSVC.
* 10% to 25% build time reduction with GCC + LTO.
- Performance: Possibly, needs to be benchmarked.
Since users may want to re-enable exceptions in their own thirdparty code
or the libraries they compile with Godot, this behavior can be toggled with
the `disable_exceptions` SCons option, which defaults to true.
As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
Backported from #70885.
- Based on C++11's `mutex`
- No more need to allocate-deallocate or check for null
- No pointer anymore, just a member variable
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed
- Simpler for `NO_THREADS`
- `BinaryMutex` added for special cases as the non-recursive version
- `MutexLock` now takes a reference. At this point the cases of null `Mutex`es are rare. If you ever need that, just don't use `MutexLock`.
- `ScopedMutexLock` is dropped and replaced by `MutexLock`, because they were pretty much the same.
Channels that are inactive -or when playback has not started yet- will report -200 dB as their peak value (which is also the lowest value possible during playback).

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)
Each driver used to define the (same) project settings value, but the
setting names are not driver specific. Ovverriding is still possible via
platform tags.
(cherry picked from commit 90c7102b51)
af9bb0ea15 fixed AudioServer's
`get_output_delay()` (which used to always return 0) while renaming it
to `get_output_latency()`. It now returns the latency from the
AudioDriver, which can be non-0.
While this was a clear bugfix, it broke playback for WebM files without
audio track. It seems like the playback code, even though it queried
the output delay to calculate a time compensation, was designed to work
even though the delay value was actually bogus. Now that it's correct,
it's not working.
As a workaround we comment out uses of the output latency, restoring
the behavior of Godot 3.1.
This code should still be reviewed by someone more versed in video
playback and fixed to properly account for the non-0 driver latency.
Fixes#35760.
(cherry picked from commit da411d1625)
Reverts the following commits:
- c81ec6f26d:
"Exposes capture methods to AudioServer, variable renames for
consistency, added documentation."
- 47c558b98a:
"Expose audio callbacks as signals."
- dabaa11b3c:
"Fix to make sure the capture buffers are deallocated at shutdown.
Silences warnings."
Some documentation improvements were kept for pre-existing methods.
See rationale for reverting these changes in #30468.
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.
Made AudioFrame and Vector2 equivalent for casting.
Added ability to obtain the playback object from stream players.
Added ability to obtain effect instance from audio server.
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.
