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 🎆
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.
- moved new infinite_inertia argument of move_and_slide and
move_and_slide_with_snap in KinematicBody and KinematicBody2D to the
end if not already there. This makes the order of arguments consistent
and should keep projects from 3.0 compatible as this argument did not
exist in 3.0. Docs updated accordingly.
- renamed max_bounces to max_slides for consistency. Docs updated
accordingly.
- the argument infinite_inertia in test_move is now optional, as it is
in every other movement related method. This closes#22829.
This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.
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.
-Added ability to disable individual collisionshape/polygon
-Moved One Way Collision to shape, allowing more flexibility
-Changed internals of CollisionObject, shapes are generated from child nodes on the fly, not stored inside any longer.
-Modifying a CollisionPolygon2D on the fly now works, it can even be animated.
Will port this to 3D once well tested. Have fun!
I can show you the code
Pretty, with proper whitespace
Tell me, coder, now when did
You last write readable code?
I can open your eyes
Make you see your bad indent
Force you to respect the style
The core devs agreed upon
A whole new world
A new fantastic code format
A de facto standard
With some sugar
Enforced with clang-format
A whole new world
A dazzling style we all dreamed of
And when we read it through
It's crystal clear
That now we're in a whole new world of code
That year should bring the long-awaited OpenGL ES 3.0 compatible renderer
with state-of-the-art rendering techniques tuned to work as low as middle
end handheld devices - without compromising with the possibilities given
for higher end desktop games of course. Great times ahead for the Godot
community and the gamers that will play our games!
You can't set this value very well, since it's automatically computed
from the mass and the collision shapes. But since the values are higher
than many people might suspect, so being able to read it helps estimate
the amount of torque you might need to apply.
-ItemList control for easier lists/thumbnails
-New file dialog, with support for thumbnails, favorites, recent places,
etc
-Moved .fscache out of the project, no more bugs due to committed/pulled
.fscache!
-Dir dialog now sorts directories
-KinematicBody2D::move now properly recognizes collision exceptions and masks, fixes#1649
-Removed object type masking for KinematicBody2D
-Added a test_motion() function to RigidBody2D, allowing simlar behavior to KinematicBody2D::move there.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-Removed "density" property
-Added instead more flexible "angular damp" and "linear damp"
-Added ability to override angular and linear damp in rigidbody
-Added gravity scale option rigidbody
Test well and iron out bugs, when it works the same will be moved to 3D

Curse the day I decided to port UDP code, as it ended up
being two nights of work. At least It's done now (I hope).
-Fixed UDP Support, API seems stable
-Added UDP Chat demo (chat that can lose your packets, heh)
-Added helpers to areas and bodies to get list of collided bodies and contained bodies.
-Sped up screen/viewport capture code.
-Added code to save an image as PNG
-Small fix so scripts register their singletons after modules did.
-=-=-=-
-Fixed some DAE import & export bugs
-Changed Collada exporter to use the mesh loops API
-Added tangent export to Collada exporter
-Added triangulation option to Collada exporter
-Changed a little how normalmaps are handled in shader. Not sure if it's working properly, be careful.
-Fixed some strange bug with kinematic bodies #776
-Fix release compilaiton issues #782
-WorldEnvironment cleanup issues fixed (#563)
-Text Editor improvement to shift-mouse selection (#648)
-(Hopefully) fixed rare (but horrible) indexing bug in GDScript compiler (#652)
-Some changes to PhysicsBody API, renamed property "active" to "sleeping", which makes more sense
-Added add_collision_exception() API in PhysicsBody (more accessible)
-ability to select and copy in the output messages panel
-IMA-ADPCM support for samples, this means that sound effects can be compressed and use 4 timess less RAM.
-New 3D import workflow based on Wavefront OBJ. Import single objects as mesh resources instead of full scenes. Many people prefers to work this way. Just like the rest of the imported resources, these are updated in realtime if modified externally.
-Mesh resources now support naming surfaces. This helps reimporting to identify which user-created materials must be kept.
-Several fixes and improvements to SurfaceTool.
-Anti Aliasing added to WorldEnvironment effects (using FXAA)
-2D Physics bodies (RigidBody, KinematicBody, etc), Raycasts, Tilemap, etc support collision layers. This makes easy to group which objects collide against which.
-2D Trigger shapes can now also trigger collision reporting in other 2D bodies (it used to be in Area2D before)
-Viewport render target textures can now be filtered.
-Few fixes in GDscript make it easier to work with static functions and class members.
-Several and many bugfixes.
