This importer was the fruit of a lot of amazing reverse engineering
work by RevoluPowered, based on the original Assimp importer that was
introduced by fire.
While promising and well tuned for a specific type of FBX scenes, it
was found to have many flaws to support the many FBX exporters and
legacy models that Godot users want to use. As we currently lack a
maintainer to improve it, those issues are left unresolved and FBX
import is still sub-par in the current Godot releases.
After some experimentation, we're instead adding a new importer that
relies on Facebook's `fbx2gltf` command line tool to convert FBX to
glTF, so that we can then use our well-maintained glTF importer.
See #59653 and https://github.com/facebookincubator/FBX2glTF for details.
It has been disabled in `master` since one year (#45852) and our plan
is for Bullet, and possibly other thirdparty physics engines, to be
implemented via GDExtension so that they can be selected by the users
who need them.
On the only platform where PVRTC is supported (iOS),
ETC2 generally supersedes PVRTC in every possible way. The increased
memory usage is not really a problem thanks to modern iOS' devices
processing power being higher than its Android counterparts.
ThorVG is a platform-independent portable library for drawing vector-based
scene and animation.

This recently released font has been gaining popularity thanks to
its readability and aesthetics. It also features font ligatures
(enabled by default, but can be disabled in the Editor Settings).
Its character set isn't as extensive as Hack's, but it should be
sufficient for most uses.

This also reorders the third-party font notices to be in
alphabetical order.
We've had many issues with WebM support and specifically the libvpx library
over the years, mostly due to its poor integration in Godot's buildsystem,
but without anyone really interested in improving this state.
With the new GDExtensions in Godot 4.0, we intend to move video decoding to
first-party extensions, and this would likely be done using something like
libvlc to expose more codecs.
Removing the `webm` module means we can remove libsimplewebm, libvpx and
opus, which we were only used for that purpose. Both libvpx and opus were
fairly complex pieces of the buildsystem, so this is a nice cleanup.
This also removes the compile-time dependency on `yasm`.
Fixes lots of compilation or non-working WebM issues which will be linked
in the PR.
* Shader compilation is now cached. Subsequent loads take less than a millisecond.
* Improved game, editor and project manager startup time.
* Editor uses .godot/shader_cache to store shaders.
* Game uses user://shader_cache
* Project manager uses $config_dir/shader_cache
* Options to tweak shader caching in project settings.
* Editor path configuration moved from EditorSettings to new class, EditorPaths, so it can be available early on (before shaders are compiled).
* Reworked ShaderCompilerRD to ensure deterministic shader code creation (else shader may change and cache will be invalidated).
* Added shader compression with SMOLV: https://github.com/aras-p/smol-v
The code is based on the current version of thirdparty/vhacd and modified to use Godot's types and code style.
Additional changes:
- extended PagedAllocator to allow leaked objects
- applied patch from https://github.com/bulletphysics/bullet3/pull/3037
Since Embree v3.13.0 supports AARCH64, switch back to the
official repo instead of using Embree-aarch64.
`thirdparty/embree/patches/godot-changes.patch` should now contain
an accurate diff of the changes done to the library.
- `etc` module was renamed to `etcpak` and modified to use the new library.
- PKM importer is removed in the process, it's obsolete.
- Old library `etc2comp` is removed.
- S3TC compression no longer done via `squish` (but decompression still is).
- Slight modifications to etcpak sources for MinGW compatibility,
to fix LLVM `-Wc++11-narrowing` errors, and to allow using vendored or
system libpng.
