We've seen multiple users enable it by mistake and get utterly confused,
reporting as a bug that the interface text is garbled.
On the other hand we haven't really seen much use of the feature by editor
UI developers, so we can likely simply remove it.
If there's a need eventually, we can re-add it as a command line option
(which is also better than an editor setting as one would typically want
to toggle it during development).
This preserves compatibility when upgrading Godot 4.2 projects which relied on that
path being configured in the editor settings.
The old name also makes sense for this one, it's fine for fbx2gltf_path to be under
a generic fbx category which could have more settings also impacting ufbx.
This harmonizes the appearance of collision shapes and paths between
the editor and running project, in both 2D and 3D.
This means that in 3D, paths are now green and shapes are now cyan
instead of light blue.
This can be used to speed up iteration by starting the import process
earlier when saving files in the project folder. This also allows getting
visual feedback on changes without having to click the editor window,
which is useful with multi-monitor setups.
The downside is that this increases idle CPU usage and may steal CPU
time from other applications when importing resources, so this is
disabled by default.
This update introduces a new import method for FBX files using ufbx. If the fbx2gltf import fails, it will use the most recently cached scene from the ufbx import. The process is sped up by introducing threads to load the ufbx portion.
Key changes include:
- Support for importing geometry helper nodes in FBX files.
- Addition of cameras and lights with updated names.
- Removal of the fbx importer manager.
- Introduction of ModelDocument3D and updates to its methods.
- Changes to FBX import options and visibility.
- Updating the documentation and handling some errors.
- Store the original non-unique node, mesh and animation names in FBX and glTF.

This ensures contributors can see when something forces the
editor to redraw constantly.
The existing boolean `true` value will be casted to `1` in the setting,
so it'll switch to Enabled automatically if the setting was previously
enabled.
Now that GDScript type hints improve performance since Godot 4.0
and the community is increasingly getting used to typed GDScript,
it makes sense to add type hints by default.
Official demos will also be moving to type hints at some point
in the future, further increasing the relevance of enabling type
hints out of the box.
The editor setting makes it possible to tweak V-Sync status
independently of the project setting.
Use cases:
- Decrease input lag and increase editor responsiveness when editing
a project that has V-Sync enabled.
- Avoid tearing when editing a project that has V-Sync disabled.
