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)
Initial work to make liniting easier.
This includes:
- Rename http_request.js to library_godot_http_request.js.
- Rename externs.js to engine.externs.js.
- New library_godot_runtime.js (GodotRuntime) wraps around emscripten
functions.
- Refactor of XMLHttpRequest handler in engine/preloader.js.
- Few fixes to bugs spotted by early stage linting.
The API is implemented in javascript, and generates C functions that can
be called from godot.
This allows much cleaner code replacing all `EM_ASM` calls in our C++
code with plain C function calls.
This also gets rid of few hacks and comes with few optimizations (e.g.
custom cursor shapes should be much faster now).
Configured for a max line length of 120 characters.
psf/black is very opinionated and purposely doesn't leave much room for
configuration. The output is mostly OK so that should be fine for us,
but some things worth noting:
- Manually wrapped strings will be reflowed, so by using a line length
of 120 for the sake of preserving readability for our long command
calls, it also means that some manually wrapped strings are back on
the same line and should be manually merged again.
- Code generators using string concatenation extensively look awful,
since black puts each operand on a single line. We need to refactor
these generators to use more pythonic string formatting, for which
many options are available (`%`, `format` or f-strings).
- CI checks and a pre-commit hook will be added to ensure that future
buildsystem changes are well-formatted.
(cherry picked from commit cd4e46ee65)
This should greatly decrease latency for the most common use cases.
A new function WebSocketPeer::set_no_delay will allow to configure it if
so desired.
We already removed it from the online docs with #35132.
Currently it can only be "Built-In Types" (Variant types) or "Core"
(everything else), which is of limited use.
We might also want to consider dropping it from `ClassDB` altogether
in Godot 4.0.
- Add some missing descriptions.
- Add links to tutorials for ARVR and AnimationTree.
- Style fixes.
- Engine changes:
* Make `AnimationNodeTransition.input_<number>` properties internal
so that they don't appear in the docs. They still appear in the
inspector based on the actual number of inputs requested.
* Drop unimplemented `CPUParticles.flatness`. It's only used for 3D
particles in `ParticlesMaterial`, and thus only relevant for
`CPUParticles3D`.
* Add bind_ip property to WebSocketServer defaulting to "*" (listen to everyone)
* Set default for GDscript Language Server to listen only to localhost
Fixes potential security issue with GDScript language server being exposed to the
broad net by default.
Since it is the server which primary usage is to provide utility to the local
editor there is no need to expose it.
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.
Follow-up to #31925, `<member />` tags just before `</members>` would cause
a parsing issue, and we'd never notice that we're no longer parsing members.
Also added space before closing `/>`.
The WebSocketMultiplayerPeer was relaying the same message two times,
both in _server_relay and _process_multiplayer (which was only supposed
to store the packet, given the server was one of the destination).
_process_multiplayer now only store the packet, and calls _server_relay
which will relay the message to other clients if needed.
When relaying messages in multiplayer mode.
Could cause a crash in case a malicious client sends a bogus packet and
for those cases where a peer has just disconnected and a message arrive
from another peer with the disconnected one as destination.
The last remaining ERR_EXPLAIN call is in FreeType code and makes sense as is
(conditionally defines the error message).
There are a few ERR_EXPLAINC calls for C-strings where String is not included
which can stay as is to avoid adding additional _MSGC macros just for that.
Part of #31244.
Both client and server are supported on native builds (as usual).
SSL server is still not supported, but will soon be possible with this
new library.
The API stays the same, we just need to work out potential issues due to
this big library switch.
It's the recommended way to set those, and is more portable
(automatically prepends -D for GCC/Clang and /D for MSVC).
We still use CPPFLAGS for some pre-processor flags which are not
defines.
