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)
This fixes a regression from PR #40313 (support for software skinning in MeshInstance).
Before, the base mesh was always updated on load even if not skinning
was used, which caused mesh instance materials to be reset on the
rendering side.
Now the base mesh is set only when it has been modified, or when
switching software skinning on or off. In this case the mesh instance
materials are always updated properly afterwards.
My mistake I missed this before the PR got merged:
is_visible_in_tree() should be avoided being called per frame unless absolutely necessary, because it is a recursive function that traverses the scene tree. It should be used when deciding on rare occasions whether to switch on or off skeleton processing, but it is better to use the cheaper is_visible() check on the per frame update.
Option in MeshInstance to enable software skinning, in order to test
against the current USE_SKELETON_SOFTWARE path which causes problems
with bad performance.

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.
FBX support and MMD (pmx) support.
Normals, Albedo, Metallic, and Roughness through Arnold 5 Materials for Maya FBX.
Maya FBX Stingray PBS support.
Importing FBX static meshes work.
Importing FBX animations is a work in progress.
Supports FBX 4 bone influence animations.
Supports FBX blend shapes.
MMDs do not have an associated animation import yet.

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.
This commit makes operator[] on Vector const and adds a write proxy to it. From
now on writes to Vectors need to happen through the .write proxy. So for
instance:
Vector<int> vec;
vec.push_back(10);
std::cout << vec[0] << std::endl;
vec.write[0] = 20;
Failing to use the .write proxy will cause a compilation error.
In addition COWable datatypes can now embed a CowData pointer to their data.
This means that String, CharString, and VMap no longer use or derive from
Vector.
_ALWAYS_INLINE_ and _FORCE_INLINE_ are now equivalent for debug and non-debug
builds. This is a lot faster for Vector in the editor and while running tests.
The reason why this difference used to exist is because force-inlined methods
used to give a bad debugging experience. After extensive testing with modern
compilers this is no longer the case.
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.
Currently we rely on some undefined behavior when Object->cast_to() gets
called with a Null pointer. This used to work fine with GCC < 6 but
newer versions of GCC remove all codepaths in which the this pointer is
Null. However, the non-static cast_to() was supposed to be null safe.
This patch makes cast_to() Null safe and removes the now redundant Null
checks where they existed.
It is explained in this article: https://www.viva64.com/en/b/0226/
-Added new 3D stream player node
-Added ability for Area to capture sound from streams
-Added small features in physics to be able to properly guess distance to areas for sound
-Fixed 3D CollisionObject so shapes are added the same as in 2D, directly from children
-Fixed KinematicBody API to make it the same as 2D.
-Added ability to set/get a field in GetSet, as well as assignment ops
-Added a Select node
-Fixed update bugs related to variable list and exported properties, closes#9458
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!
-Rearrange favorites in fs dock with drag and drop
-Removed import -> sub-scene, moved to scenetree contextual menu
-Removed import -> re-import , moved and integrated to FS dock
-Added ability in FS dock to re-import more than one resource
simultaneously
-Added ability to drag from native filesystem explorer to Godot, only
works on Windows though
-Removed scene reimport merge options, never worked well. Eventually
merging materials should be re-added
-Added ability to set custom root node type when importing scenes
-Re-Import is now automatic, can be configured back to manual in editor
settings
-Added resource previews in property list for many resource types
