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)
Fixes: #28683, #28621, #28596 and maybe others
For iOS we enable pvrtc feature by default for both GLES2/GLES3
Etc1 for iOS doesn't have any sense, so it disabled.
Fixed checks in export editor.
Fixed pvrtc ability detection in GLES2 driver.
Fixed pvrtc encoding procedure.
By default 'add_ios_framework' would not embed a framework to save previous behavior.
New 'add_ios_embedded_framework' would embed framework on export.
Right now, games only work on devices when exported with FullAOT+Interpreter.
There are some issues left that need to addressed for FullAOT alone. Right now,
it's giving issues with the Godot.NativeCalls static constructor.
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.
We no longer compile for armv7 and x86 in the official export templates,
as those architectures are no longer relevant for iOS.
If users really want to support armv7 (used on devices from before
September 2013, e.g. iPhone 5), they can still build their own templates
and toggle the option.
We might remove the option altogether in a later release to avoid the
confusion for users that might tick the checkbox without having compiled
their own templates.
Fixes#34135.
This PR introduces support for ARKit to the iOS version of Godot.
ARKit is Apples Augmented Reality platform.
This PR brings in support for ARKit 1.0 and implements a few ARKit 2.0 features.
It requires iOS 11 to run but should not prevent Godot from running on older versions as long as ARKit remains unused.
It's not necessary, but the vast majority of calls of error macros
do have an ending semicolon, so it's best to be consistent.
Most WARN_DEPRECATED calls did *not* have a semicolon, but there's
no reason for them to be treated differently.
GLES2 is not designed to be a drop-in replacement for the GLES3 backend,
so the fallback mode has to be used knowingly. It *can* make sense for
simple projects which make sure to handle the differences between both
rendering backends, but most users should stick to one supported backend.
By making it opt-in, we can now use this parameter to define whether to
export ETC textures to Android and iOS when using GLES3 + Fallback.
When using GLES3 without Fallback on Android, set the proper min GLES
version in the AndroidManifest.
Also made the option boolean and renamed it for clarity and to avoid
conflict with the previous String option (which would always evaluate as
"true" otherwise).
Fixes#26569.
For HTML5, we need to support S3TC if running on desktop,
and ETC or ETC2 for mobile, so make this explicit.
Add logic to check for ETC2 support on GLES3,
and remove incorrect ETC feature for GLES3 on Android.
Fix ETC check invalidating templates on HTML5.
Fixes#26476.
