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!
(cherry picked from commit c7bc44d5ad)
- Useful if you need to Convert screen coords to the coordinate space of a
CanvasItem, but don't have an associated InputEvent to use in
#make_event_local.
For example, if you have a particular point on the screen you'd like to project
into World Space, for various reasons, you would use this function on the root
of the scene. This is analogous to ray casting from screen space in 3D.
Works for 2D and 3D
These are still just helpers in case you want to animate them or access them
directly.
Modifying the real shapes is still done via CollisionObject and CollisionObject2D APIs
But an API was added so you can query which shapes from CollisionObject correspond to which CollisionShape.
Have Fun!

-Changed material unshaded property for an enum, which supports light-only shading
-Added a "Mix" shading mode, useful for using lights as masks
-Added energy parameter to Light2D
Added support for 2D shadow casters.
*DANGER* Shaders in CanvasItem CHANGED, if you are using shader in a
CanvasItem and pull this, you will lose them. Shaders now work through a
2D material system similar to 3D. If you don't want to lose the 2D
shader code, save the shader as a .shd, then create a material in
CanvasItem and re-assign the shader.

-Auto indenter in code editor, this makes it much easier to paste external code.
-Zoom in 2D viewport now uses the mouse pointer as reference.
-Obscure hack to see where code/line of GDScript in C++ backtrace.
-Fixed a bug where keys would get stuck on X11 if pressed simultaneously
-Added Api on IP singleton to request local IPs.
-Premultiplied alpha support when importing texture, editing PNGs and as a blend mode.
-Added new screen resizing options, stretch_2d is removed, new much more flexible ones.
-Fixed bug in viewport (can create more instances in 3d-in-2d demo now)
-Can set android permissions and screen sizes manually in the export settings
-Changed export templates extension to .tpz (too many people unzipped the manually..)
-File dialog now ensures that the proper extension is used (will not allow to save without it)
-Fixed bug that made collision exceptions not work in 2D
-Detect when free() might crash the project and throw error
-fixed 2D Bounce in physics (3d still broken)
-renamed “on_top” property to “behind_parent”, which makes more sense, old on_top remains there for compatibility but is invisible.
-large amount of fixes
