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!
This push changes the binary and XML formats and bumps the major version to 2.0. As such, files saved in this version WILL NO LONGER WORK IN PREVIOUS VERSIONS. This compatibility breakage with older versions was required in order to properly provide project refactoring tools.
If I were you, unless you are brave, I would wait a week or two before pulling, in case of bugs :)
Summary of Changes
-New Filesystem dock, with filesystem & tree view modes.
-New refactoring tools, to change or fix dependencies.
-Quick search dialog, to quickly search any file
A general speedup should be apparent, with even more peformance increase when compiling optimized.
WARNING: Tested and it seems to work, but if something breaks, please report.
-ability to edit multiple scenes at the same time
-resource internal IDs are now persistent, this makes multiple scene
editing possible but maaaaay result in file corruption bugs (tested and
could not find anything but possibility exists because core code
changed, report immediately if you find this).
-properly save settings, layout, etc when edited
-script editing is independent from scene editing now
-show a yellow box when a script belongs to the scene
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.
==========
-NOTIFICATION_WM_QUIT fixed on android (seems tha way this is reported changed in newer sdk)
-WIP implementation of APK Expansion APIs for publishing games larger than 50mb in Play Store
-Feaures in the new tutorials are all present in the sourcecode
-This (hopefully) should get rid of the animation list order getting corrupted
-Improved 3D Scene Importer (Skeletons, Animations and other stuff were not being merged). Anything missing?
-In code editor, the automatic syntax checker will only use file_exists() to check preload() else it might freeze the editor too much while typing if the preload is a big resource
-Fixed bugs in PolygonPathFinder, stil pending to do a node and a demo
-fix some menus
-fixed bug in out transition curves
-detect and remove file:/// in collada
-remove multiscript for now
-remove dependencies on mouse in OS, moved to Input
-avoid fscache from screwing up (fix might make it slower, but it works)
-funcref was missing, it's there now
In the `parse_tag` method of the `class ResourceInteractiveLoaderXML`,
the class responsible of loading the editor_settings.xml file, the
properties' values are loaded directly into an `String` object but the
file contents are always UTF-8, which leads to garbage in the XML file
when saved.
This patch reads the properties' values in a `CharString` and translate
them to UTF-8.
