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 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
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.
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.
As discussed in issues #1479 and #9782, choosing the up axis (which is Y in Godot) as the axis of the last (or first) rotation is helpful in practical use cases.
This also aligns Godot's convention with Unity, helping with a smoother transition for people who are used to working with Unity (issue #9905).
Internally, both XYZ and YXZ functions are kept, for potential future applications.
Added set_scale, set_rotation_euler, set_rotation_axis_angle. Addresses #2565 directly.
Added an euler angle constructor for Basis in GDScript and also exposed is_normalized for vectors and quaternions.
Various other changes mostly cosmetic in nature.
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
After discussing this with Reduz this seemed like the best way to
fix#7354. This will make composite values that contain NaN in the same
places as well as the same other values compare as the same.
Additionally non-composite values now also compare equal if they are
both NaN. This breaks IEEE specifications but this is probably what most
users expect. There is a GDScript function check for NaN if the user
needs this information.
This fixes#7354 and probably also fixes#6947
Furthermore, functions which expect a rotation matrix will now give an error simply, rather than trying to orthonormalize such matrices. The documentation for such functions has be updated accordingly.
This commit breaks code using 3D rotations, and is a part of the breaking changes in 2.1 -> 3.0 transition. The code affected within Godot code base is fixed in this commit.
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!

3D Physics:
-Fixed "Bounce" parameter in 3D
-Fixed bug affecting Area (sometims it would not detect properly)
-Vehicle Body has seen heavy work
-Added Query API for doing space queries in 3D. Needs some docs though.
-Added JOINTS! Adapted Bullet Joints: and created easy gizmos for setting them up:
-PinJoint
-HingeJoint (with motor)
-SliderJoint
-ConeTwistJoint
-Generic6DOFJoint
-Added OBJECT PICKING! based on the new query API. Any physics object now (Area or Body) has the following signals and virtual functions:
-input_event (mouse or multitouch input over the body)
-mouse_enter (mouse entered the body area)
-mouse_exit (mouse exited body area)
For Area it needs to be activated manually, as it isn't by default (ray goes thru).
Other:
-Begun working on Windows 8 (RT) port. Compiles but does not work yet.
-Added TheoraPlayer library for improved to-texture and portable video support.
-Fixed a few bugs in the renderer, collada importer, collada exporter, etc.
