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 🎆

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.
On Unix systems, sockets are like file descriptors, and file descriptors
are usually shared among child processes.
This means, that if we spawn a subprocess (or we fork) like we do in the
editor, open file descriptors will leak to the new process.
This causes issue with sockets as they might remain open and bound
(listening) when the original process closes.
Unified BSD and Winsock sockets into a single implementation of a
generic NetSocket interface.
This is some ground work for few network improvements:
- Reuse as much code as possible between Posix and Windows.
- Provide a single point of implementation for exotic sdks (consoles).
- Provide platform agnostic StreamPeerTCP and PacketPeerUDP in core.
- Implement connect for UDP allowing for DTLS implementation.
