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".
Backported from #70885.
Converts float literals from double format (e.g. 0.0) to float format (e.g. 0.0f) where appropriate for 32 bit calculations, and cast to (real_t) or (float) as appropriate.
This ensures that appropriate calculations will be done at 32 bits when real_t is compiled as float, rather than promoted to 64 bits.
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)
This reverts commit 7f61710183.
See #38868, in its current implementation a small skew value might end up
serialized to scene files due to floating point precision errors, which is
detrimental to VCS.
This can be cherry-picked anew once a fix for #38868 has been found.
Skew is x-axis only, because it must be bidirectionally convertible to a 2x3 matrix, but you can subtract it to the rotation to get the effect on y-axis

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.
