Functions called from a signal can no longer disconnect the node from the signal they're connected to (unless using `call_deferred()`). - Tabs and space indentation can no longer be mixed in the same GDScript file. - Each file must now use only tabs or spaces for indentation (not both). - `assert()` in GDScript must now always be used with parentheses. - `assert(true)` is still valid, but `assert true` isn't valid anymore. - This is to account for the optional second parameter that defines a custom message. - The "Trim" and "Normalize" WAV import options are now disabled by default. - This makes the default behavior more consistent with Ogg import. - Ogg samples now have an icon in the editor, like WAV samples. - Camera2D drag margins are now disabled by default. - If porting a project from Godot 3.1 where drag margins were used, these must be enabled manually again. - The Camera2D Offset property now ignores the Limit property. - To get the old behavior back, move the camera itself instead of changing the offset. - `Camera.project_position()` now requires a second `depth` argument to determine the distance of the point from the camera. - To get the old behavior back, pass the Camera's `near` property value as the second argument. - `Skeleton.set_bone_global_pose()` was replaced by `Skeleton.set_bone_global_pose_override()`. - UDP broadcasting is now disabled by default and must be enabled by calling `set_broadcast_enabled(true)` on the PacketPeerUDP instance. - The editor and project manager now open slightly faster. - Improved the Project Manager user interface. - New, simpler design with more space available for the project list. - Improved reporting of missing projects. - The search field is now focused when starting the Project Manager if there is at least one project in the list. - The search field now searches in both the project name and path. - If the search term contains a `/`, the whole path will be used to match the search them. Otherwise, only the last path component will be searched in. - Refactored the Project Manager to be more efficient, especially with large project lists. - Images in the Project Manager and Asset Library are now resized with Lanczos filtering for a smoother appearance. - The editor now uses the font hinting algorithm that best matches the OS' default. - Hinting is set to "None" on macOS, and set to "Light" on Windows and Linux. - This can be changed in the Editor Settings. - The editor window dimming when a popup appears is now less intense (60% → 50%). - The animation was also removed as it made the editor feel sluggish at lower FPS. - Several editor menus have been reorganized for consistency and conciseness. - Undo/Redo now supports more actions throughout the editor. - Increased the height of the ItemList editor popup. - This makes it easier to edit large amounts of items. - Opening a folder in FileDialog will now scroll back to the top. - Folder icons in FileDialog can now be displayed with a different color using the `folder_icon_modulate` constant, making them easier to distinguish from files. - Folder icons in editor file dialogs are now tinted with the accent color. - Improved colors in the light editor theme for better readability and consistency. - Improved A* performance significantly by using a binary heap and OAHashMap. - Tweaked the AABB transform algorithm to be ~1.2 times faster. - Optimized the variant reference function, making complex scripts slightly faster. - Disabled high-quality voxel cone tracing by default. - This makes GIProbe much faster out of the box, at the cost of less realistic reflections. - Lowered the default maximum directional shadow distance (200 → 100). - This makes directional shadow rendering consistent between the editor and running project when using the default Camera node settings. - Tweaked the default depth fog maximum distance to be independent of the Camera's `far` value (0..100). - This makes fog display consistent between the editor and a running project. - Tweaked the default height fog values to be more logical (0..100 → 10..0). - This means height fog will be drawn from top-to-bottom, instead of being drawn from bottom-to-top. - Significantly improved SSAO performance by using a lower sample count. - SSAO now uses 3×3 blurring by default, resulting in less visible noise patterns. -

Transform's `FLIP_Y` and `FLIP_Z` constants now work as expected. - Fixed importing BMP images. - The positional command-line argument is now only considered to be a scene path if it ends with `.scn`, `.tscn` or `.escn`. - This makes it possible to parse command-line arguments in a standard fashion (`--foo bar` now works, not just `--foo=bar`). - This also makes it possible to use file associations or drag-and-drop and have the positional argument parsed by the project. - The `--audio-driver` and `--video-driver` command-line arguments are now validated; an error message will be printed if an invalid value is passed. - The `--check-only` command-line argument now returns a non-zero exit code if an invalid script is passed using `--script`. - Exporting a project via the command-line now returns a non-zero exit code if an error occurred during exporting. - Console output is no longer colored when standard output isn't a TTY. - This prevents Godot from writing ANSI escape codes when redirecting standard output or standard error to a file. - **Android:** Gamepads are now correctly detected when the application starts. - **Android:** Fix some keyboards being detected as gamepads and not working as a result. - **Android:** The editor now detects if the device is connected using wireless `adb` and will debug using Wi-Fi in this case. -
