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.
When using a newly created StringBuilder then the as_string() method
will crash when trying to free an allocated 0-sized chunk of memory.
When 0 bytes get allocated with memnew_arr then a NULL pointer gets
returned. When trying to free that pointer the programm will crash.
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.
When doing large string concatenations the default push_back on the
String class can slow down things quite a bit. This is because it
has to constantly reallocate the memory and copy the contents. This
StringBuilder class delays the concatenation until the size of the
resulting string is known.
