* Allows running the game in "movie writer" mode.
* It ensures entirely stable framerate, so your run can be saved stable and with proper sound (which is impossible if your CPU/GPU can't sustain doing this in real-time).
* If disabling vsync, it can save movies faster than the game is run, but if you want to control the interaction it can get difficult.
* Implements a simple, default MJPEG writer.
This new features has two main use cases, which have high demand:
* Saving game videos in high quality and ensuring the frame rate is *completely* stable, always.
* Using Godot as a tool to make movies and animations (which is ideal if you want interaction, or creating them procedurally. No other software is as good for this).
**Note**: This feature **IS NOT** for capturing real-time footage. Use something like OBS, SimpleScreenRecorder or FRAPS to achieve that, as they do a much better job at intercepting the compositor than Godot can probably do using Vulkan or OpenGL natively. If your game runs near real-time when capturing, you can still use this feature but it will play no sound (sound will be saved directly).
Usage:
$ godot --write-movie movie.avi [scene_file.tscn]
Missing:
* Options for configuring video writing via GLOBAL_DEF
* UI Menu for launching with this mode from the editor.
* Add to list of command line options.
* Add a feature tag to override configurations when movie writing (fantastic for saving videos with highest quality settings).
Security update, fixes CVE-2018-25032 in zlib.
Preliminary assessment doesn't show Godot as affected since we don't
seem to call `deflate` with the problematic parameters, but the extent
of the vulnerability is not fully clear upstream yet.
It has been disabled in `master` since one year (#45852) and our plan
is for Bullet, and possibly other thirdparty physics engines, to be
implemented via GDExtension so that they can be selected by the users
who need them.
This updates VMA and instead of using the custom small pool approach from 4e6c9d3ae9, lazily creates pools for the relevant memory type indices, which doesn't require patching VMA.
Also, patches already merged upstream or not needed any longer are removed.
On the only platform where PVRTC is supported (iOS),
ETC2 generally supersedes PVRTC in every possible way. The increased
memory usage is not really a problem thanks to modern iOS' devices
processing power being higher than its Android counterparts.
ThorVG is a platform-independent portable library for drawing vector-based
scene and animation.

Fix include paths to support both vendored and system-installed glslang.
Remove usage of the private `StandAlone` bits.
Requires us to vendor a copy of `DefaultTBuiltInResource` (or provide our own
customized one) as glslang doesn't provide it in its public API.
Also removes unused C interface as it's not well encapsulated and depends on
`StandAlone`.
Fixes#56307.
This recently released font has been gaining popularity thanks to
its readability and aesthetics. It also features font ligatures
(enabled by default, but can be disabled in the Editor Settings).
Its character set isn't as extensive as Hack's, but it should be
sufficient for most uses.
More information at <https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/>.
This also reorders the third-party font notices to be in
alphabetical order.
Keep applying the windows entropy patch (UWP support).
Remove no longer needed padlock patch.
Update thirdparty README to reflect changes, and new source inclusion
criteria.

Includes a fix for inaccurate slice range calculation for bases with diacritics.
Also removes unnecessary ChangeLog, and updated unrelated vhacd commit to match
currently used one.
We've had many issues with WebM support and specifically the libvpx library
over the years, mostly due to its poor integration in Godot's buildsystem,
but without anyone really interested in improving this state.
With the new GDExtensions in Godot 4.0, we intend to move video decoding to
first-party extensions, and this would likely be done using something like
libvlc to expose more codecs.
Removing the `webm` module means we can remove libsimplewebm, libvpx and
opus, which we were only used for that purpose. Both libvpx and opus were
fairly complex pieces of the buildsystem, so this is a nice cleanup.
This also removes the compile-time dependency on `yasm`.
Fixes lots of compilation or non-working WebM issues which will be linked
in the PR.
Stop include Bullet headers using `-isystem` for GCC/Clang as it misleads
SCons into not properly rebuilding all files when headers change.
This means we also need to make sure Bullet builds without warning, and
current version fares fairly well, there were just a couple to fix (patch
included).
Increase minimum version for distro packages to 2.90 (this was never released
as the "next" version after 2.89 was 3.05... but that covers it too).
Fixes#43868.
(cherry picked from commit b7901c773c)
* Fixed LODs for shadow meshes.
* Added a merging step before simplification. This helps with tesselated
meshes that were previously left untouched. The angle difference at
wich edges ar considered "hard" can be tweaked as an import setting.
* LODs will now start with the highest decimation possible and keep
doubling (approximately) the number of triangles from there. This
makes sure that very low triangle counts are included when possible.
* Given more weight to normal preservation.
* Modified MeshOptimizer to report distance-based error instead of
including attributes in the reported metrics.
* Added attribute transference between the original mesh and the
various LODs. Right now only normals are taken into account,
but it could be expanded to other attributes in the future.
* Added support to our local copy of SpirV Reflect (which does not support it).
* Pass them on render or compute pipeline creation.
* Not implemented in our shaders yet.
* Shader compilation is now cached. Subsequent loads take less than a millisecond.
* Improved game, editor and project manager startup time.
* Editor uses .godot/shader_cache to store shaders.
* Game uses user://shader_cache
* Project manager uses $config_dir/shader_cache
* Options to tweak shader caching in project settings.
* Editor path configuration moved from EditorSettings to new class, EditorPaths, so it can be available early on (before shaders are compiled).
* Reworked ShaderCompilerRD to ensure deterministic shader code creation (else shader may change and cache will be invalidated).
* Added shader compression with SMOLV: https://github.com/aras-p/smol-v
Since Embree v3.13.0 supports AARCH64, switch back to the
official repo instead of using Embree-aarch64.
`thirdparty/embree/patches/godot-changes.patch` should now contain
an accurate diff of the changes done to the library.
This makes font oversampling work out of the box, while also increasing
the supported character set's size. The default font is now larger
as well to better fit today's screen resolutions.
The OpenSans SemiBold font was chosen for two reasons:
- Small file size, yet its character set supports Latin-1 and Cyrillic
text.
- A heavier font weight looks better in most "game" scenarios and is
more readable against mixed-color backgrounds.
This is considered a breaking change as it changes the default font's
metrics, which will likely affect how Control nodes are laid out in
scenes (unless a custom font is in use).
Avoid unnecessary allocation of temporary buffers for each mip, and creates
only one Image with the compressed data.
Also renames variable and reorders code for clarity.
Clarify that squish is now only used for decompression.
Documented which formats can be decompressed in Image.
We do our own image loading, threading, and memory management in Godot already,
so the only components we need from etcpak (at least as of now) are the
`Compress*` methods defined in `ProcessDxtc.cpp` and `ProcessRGB.cpp`.
So we don't need to compile or vendor the rest.
- `etc` module was renamed to `etcpak` and modified to use the new library.
- PKM importer is removed in the process, it's obsolete.
- Old library `etc2comp` is removed.
- S3TC compression no longer done via `squish` (but decompression still is).
- Slight modifications to etcpak sources for MinGW compatibility,
to fix LLVM `-Wc++11-narrowing` errors, and to allow using vendored or
system libpng.
