GDScript has the following built-in trigonometry functions:
- `sin()`
- `cos()`
- `tan()`
- `asin()`
- `acos()`
- `atan()`
- `atan()`
- `sinh()`
- `cosh()`
- `tanh()`
However, it lacks the hyperbolic arc (also known as inverse
hyperbolic) functions:
- `asinh()`
- `acosh()`
- `atanh()`
Implement them by just exposing the C++ Math library, but clamping
its values to the closest real defined value.
For the cosine, clamp input values lower than 1 to 1.
In the case of the tangent, where the limit value is infinite,
clamp it to -inf or +inf.
References #78377Fixesgodotengine/godot-proposals#7110
A common bug with using acos and asin is that input outside -1 to 1 range will result in Nan output. This can occur due to floating point error in the input.
The standard solution is to provide safe_acos function with clamped input. For Godot it may make more sense to make the standard functions safe.
As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
The main change is to caculate tangent directly from bezier curve, without going
through discretized polyline, avoiding pitfalls of discretization.
Other changes are:
1. Add an bezier_derivative() method for Vector3, Vector2, and Math;
2. Add an tesselate_even_length() method to Curve3D, which tesselate bezier curve to even length segments adaptively;
3. Cache the tangent vectors in baked_tangent_vector_cache;
This method was meant only as a convenience for editor code
to allow using a step of 0 to disable snapping.
It was exposed by mistake when refactoring GlobalScope.
Sets `AlignOperands` to `DontAlign`.
`clang-format` developers seem to mostly care about space-based indentation and
every other version of clang-format breaks the bad mismatch of tabs and spaces
that it seems to use for operand alignment. So it's better without, so that it
respects our two-tabs `ContinuationIndentWidth`.
Fixes#48420, fixes#48421.
The binding was missed when moving GDScript built-in to Global Scope it seems.

Added an occlusion culling system with support for static occluder meshes.
It can be enabled via `Project Settings > Rendering > Occlusion Culling > Use Occlusion Culling`.
Occluders are defined via the new `Occluder3D` resource and instanced using the new
`OccluderInstance3D` node. The occluders can also be automatically baked from a
scene using the built-in editor plugin.
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 🎆
is_equal_approx is able to handle values of any size, and is_equal_approx_ratio is no longer used in any exposed APIs, so we don't need is_equal_approx_ratio anymore. Also, add #ifdef MATH_CHECKS for a method that is only used when MATH_CHECKS is defined.
Add __NetBSD__ to `platform_config.h` so that it can find `alloca`
and use the proper `pthread_setname_np` format.
Rename RANDOM_MAX to avoid conflict with NetBSD stdlib.
Fixes#42145.
The input to smoothstep is not actually a weight, and the decscription
of smoothstep was pretty hard to understand and easy to misinterpret.
Clarified what it means to be approximately equal.
nearest_po2 does not do what the descriptions says it does. For one,
it returns the same power if the input is a power of 2. Second, it
returns 0 if the input is negative or 0, while the smallest possible
integral power of 2 actually is 1 (2^0 = 1). Due to the implementation
and how it is used in a lot of places, it does not seem wise to change
such a core function however, and I decided it is better to alter the
description of the built-in.
Added a few examples/clarifications/edge-cases.
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.
Part of #33027, also discussed in #29848.
Enforcing the use of brackets even on single line statements would be
preferred, but `clang-format` doesn't have this functionality yet.
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.
