- Based on C++11's `thread` and `thread_local`
- No more need to allocate-deallocate or check for null
- No pointer anymore, just a member variable
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed (except for the few cases of non-portable functions)
- Simpler for `NO_THREADS`
- Thread ids are now the same across platforms (main is 1; others follow)
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 🎆
A static function is added to EditorNode which allows for filename
disambiguation given a list of filenames and the corresponding list of
absolute paths for those files. This function is then used to
disambiguate scene and script tabs in the editor.
ToolButton has no redeeming differences with Button;
it's just a Button with the Flat property enabled by default.
Removing it avoids some confusion when creating GUIs.
Existing ToolButtons will be converted to Buttons, but the Flat
property won't be enabled automatically.
This closes https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/1081.
Which means that reduz' beloved style which we all became used to
will now be changed automatically to remove the first empty line.
This makes us lean closer to 1TBS (the one true brace style) instead
of hybridating it with some Allman-inspired spacing.
There's still the case of braces around single-statement blocks that
needs to be addressed (but clang-format can't help with that, but
clang-tidy may if we agree about it).
Part of #33027.
This option can be used to workaround various issues with stuff
not reloading properly when changes are made.
The option was renamed to clarify the fact that it actually
reloads the scene saved on the filesystem.
The Request Docs button is partly responsible for layout overflow
issues on narrow displays, such as #31133.
It also tended to attract spam and low-effort issues that were
difficult to act upon. A "Send Docs Feedback" menu option has been added
to replace it.
For us, it practically only changes the fact that `A<A<int>>` is now
used instead of the C++03 compatible `A<A<int> >`.
Note: clang-format 10+ changed the `Standard` arguments to fully
specified `c++11`, `c++14`, etc. versions, but we can't use `c++17`
now if we want to preserve compatibility with clang-format 8 and 9.
`Cpp11` is still supported as deprecated alias for `Latest`.
Main:
- It's now implemented thanks to `<mutex>`. No more platform-specific implementations.
- `BinaryMutex` (non-recursive) is added, as an alternative for special cases.
- Doesn't need allocation/deallocation anymore. It can live in the stack and be part of other classes.
- Because of that, it's methods are now `const` and the inner mutex is `mutable` so it can be easily used in `const` contexts.
- A no-op implementation is provided if `NO_THREADS` is defined. No more need to add `#ifdef NO_THREADS` just for this.
- `MutexLock` now takes a reference. At this point the cases of null `Mutex`es are rare. If you ever need that, just don't use `MutexLock`.
- Thread-safe utilities are therefore simpler now.
Misc.:
- `ScopedMutexLock` is dropped and replaced by `MutexLock`, because they were pretty much the same.
- Every case of lock, do-something, unlock is replaced by `MutexLock` (complex cases where it's not straightfoward are kept as as explicit lock and unlock).
- `ShaderRD` contained an `std::mutex`, which has been replaced by `Mutex`.
-Texture renamed to Texture2D
-TextureLayered as base now inherits 2Darray, cubemap and cubemap array
-Removed all references to flags in textures (they will go in the shader)
-Texture3D gone for now (will come back later done properly)
-Create base rasterizer for RenderDevice, RasterizerRD
The previous behavior relying on the provided extension was problematic
on macOS since .zip is the main extension used for the full project
export (binary + data pack).
We add a dedicated `--export-pack` command line option to define when
only the data pack should be exported. Its extension will still be
inferred from the path.
Fixes#23073.
I'm barely scratching the surface of the changes needed to make the
--export command line interface easy to use, but this should already
improve things somewhat.
- Streamline `can_export()` templates check in all platforms, checking
first for the presence of official templates, then of any defined
custom template, and reporting on the absence of any.
Shouldn't change the actual return value much which is still true if
either release or debug is usable - we might want to change that
eventually and better validate against the requested target.
- Fix discrepancy between platforms using `custom_package/debug` and
`custom_template/debug` (resp. `release`).
All now use `custom_template`, which will break compatibility for
`export_presets.cfg` with earlier projects (but is easy to fix).
- Use `can_export()` when attempting a command line export and report
the same errors that would be shown in the editor.
- Improve error reporting after a failed export attempt, handling
missing template and invalid path more gracefully.
- Cleanup of unused stuff in EditorNode around the export workflow.
- Improve --export documentation in --help a bit.
Fixes#16949 (at least many of the misunderstandings listed there).
Fixes#18470.
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.
* "Add" button text in Groups Editor
* "Receiver Method" in Connect Signal Dialog
* "Play Mode" in Animation State Machine Editor
* "Mesh Library" button text in Mesh Library editor plugin
* Compose Array node button texts in Visual Script
* Various button texts in TileSet Editor
* Various Run Script errors
The fade animation tended to give the editor a "sluggish" feel
when running at lower FPS (which is common in heavy 3D scenes),
so it's probably a good idea to remove it.
This also makes dimming less intense (50% instead of 60%).
This will be used for communicating between the Godot editor and external IDEs/editors, for things like opening files, triggering hot-reload and running the game with a debugger attached.
- Make visibility of the spinner and "update always" option editor-wide,
rather than per-project metadata.
- Add options "Show Update Spinner" and "Update Continuously" under
Editor Settings > Interface > Editor. Both options are false by
default.
- Rename some variables and constants to be more consistent and clearer:
"update always" -> "update continuously", "update changes" -> "update
when changed", "update menu" -> "update spinner", "circle" -> "update
spinner".
Fixes#23738.
This is an editor setting and its value can also be toggled
using an entry in the Editor toolbar. The console will still
appear briefly when starting the project manager or editor,
as it's still compiled as console application.
Does not impact exported games, which will still run without
console in release and with console in debug mode.
A project setting or export option could be added to disable
it in debug mode if there's demand for it, but that would
greatly reduce the usefulness of debug builds if Windows users
can no longer report error and crash messages.
Fixes#17889.

This commit fixes several issues related to moving scenes and resources
in an open project.
* Don't try to reload scenes while not all scenes are updated yet.
* Don't use the UndoRedo system to update non-user initiated editor
state.
* Resave scenes after moving files and updating resource path(s).
This dialog searches every Resource-derived file in the project, making
it extremely useful for searching everything from audio files to scripts.
Unlike the Quick Open Script and Quick Open Scene dialogs, you don't need
to think about the type of file you're opening, just its name.
Shift + Alt + O was chosen to match the existing shortcuts for
Quick Open Scene and Quick Open Script.
