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 🎆
Moved previously builtin modules 'GameCenter', 'AppStore', 'iCloud' to separate modules to be represented as plugin.
Modified 'ARKit' and 'Camera' to not be builtin into engine and work as plugin.
Changed platform code so it's not affected by the move.
Modified Xcode project file to remove parameters that doesn't make any effect.
Added basic '.gdip' plugin config file.
Enabled ARC for iOS.
Weakify/Strongify macros for objc blocks.
Removed old version checks.
Specific types for ObjC++ modules to exclude unneeded bridging.
Separate DeviceMetrics class for device specific data.
Replaced old/deprecated functionality.
Implemented Vulkan Support.
Use DisplayServer for rendering and input handling
Use single view for rendering in both GLES2 (not supported yet) and Vulkan
Use @available checks where it's required (otherwise compiler would fail compilation)
Simulator checks
Which means that reduz' beloved style which we all became used to
will now be changed automatically to remove the first empty line.
This makes us lean closer to 1TBS (the one true brace style) instead
of hybridating it with some Allman-inspired spacing.
There's still the case of braces around single-statement blocks that
needs to be addressed (but clang-format can't help with that, but
clang-tidy may if we agree about it).
Part of #33027.
For us, it practically only changes the fact that `A<A<int>>` is now
used instead of the C++03 compatible `A<A<int> >`.
Note: clang-format 10+ changed the `Standard` arguments to fully
specified `c++11`, `c++14`, etc. versions, but we can't use `c++17`
now if we want to preserve compatibility with clang-format 8 and 9.
`Cpp11` is still supported as deprecated alias for `Latest`.
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.
PR #18675 (commit 96301e9) revealed a problem with how iOS lifecycle
callbacks were handled by Godot. Before that PR it was possible to get
NOTIFICATION_WM_FOCUS_IN callback without getting the corresponding
NOTIFICATION_WM_FOCUS_OUT. That commit added a flag to ensure they are
always coupled, but now there is an issue when, for example, you open a
notification panel on iOS without moving the app to background.
It resulted in view.stopAnimation being called without the
corresponding startAnimation when the app moves to foreground again, so
it looked like the game hanged.
I changed focus out notification to be sent in applicationWillResignActive,
because it makes more sense than to do it in applicationDidEnterBackground,
because it is always called in pair with applicationDidBecomeActive, where
focus in is sent. applicationDidEnterBackground may not come under
circumstances that are now described as a comment in code.
When a phone call or an alarm triggers on iOS, the application receives
an "audio interruption" and it's up to the application to resume
playback when the interruption ends. I added handling for audio
interruptions same as if the game is focused out and then back in.
Starting from April 2018 Apple no longer accepts apps that do not
support iPhone X. For games this mainly means respecting the safe area,
unobstructed by notch and virtual home button. UI controls must be
placed within the safe area so that users can interact with them.
This commit:
- Adds OS::get_window_safe_area method that returns unobscured area of
the window, where interactive controls should be rendered.
- Reorganizes how launch screens are exported - the previous way was
incorrect and modern iPhones did not pick up the correct screens and
because of that used a non-native resolution to render the game.
- Adds launch screen options for iPhone X.
- Makes launch screens optional in the export template. If not
specified, a white screen will be used.
- Adds App Store icon (1024x1024) export option as it now has to be
bundled with the app instead of being provided in iTunes Connect.
- Fixes crash when launching games in iOS Simulator. It happened because
controllerWasConnected callback came before the engine was
initialized. Now in such case the controllers will be queued up and
registered after initialization is done.
- Fixes issue with the virtual keyboard where for some reason
autocorrection panel would intersect with the keyboard itself and not
allow you to use the top row of the keyboard. This is fixed by
disabling autocorrection altogether.
Closes#17358. Fixes#17428. Fixes#17331.
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.
- nicely exit if initialisation fails
- fix a few issues around new event handling
- use 16bit single channel framebuffer as 32bit is not supported on iOS
-Changed SectionedPropertyEditor to support this
-Renamed Globals singleton to GlobalConfig, makes more sense.
-Changed the logic behind persisten global settings, instead of the persist checkbox, a revert button is now available
