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)
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.
Adds a new NavigationMesh property to select which objects will be taken
into account for the generation.
By default it will use all the NavigationMeshInstance children to keep
compatibility. The new modes allow to build the NavigationMesh from
all the nodes belonging to a specific group, and optionally include
their children too.
* Expose EditorNavigationMeshGenerator as an engine singleton so users
can generate navmesehes from `tool` scripts.
* Add support for generating navmeshes from static colliders. All
collision shapes are supported except for Plane (since Plane is an
infinite collider and navmeshes need to have finite geometry).
* When using static colliders as a geometry source, a layer mask can be
specified to ignore certain colliders.
* Don't rely on global transform. It still should give the exact same
results but allows for building navmeshes on nodes that are not in the
tree (useful in `tool` scripts).
* Update navigation gizmos after every new bake.
This work has been kindly sponsored by IMVU.
Using `misc/scripts/fix_headers.py` on all Godot files.
Some missing header guards were added, and the header inclusion order
was fixed in the Bullet module.
I can show you the code
Pretty, with proper whitespace
Tell me, coder, now when did
You last write readable code?
I can open your eyes
Make you see your bad indent
Force you to respect the style
The core devs agreed upon
A whole new world
A new fantastic code format
A de facto standard
With some sugar
Enforced with clang-format
A whole new world
A dazzling style we all dreamed of
And when we read it through
It's crystal clear
That now we're in a whole new world of code
That year should bring the long-awaited OpenGL ES 3.0 compatible renderer
with state-of-the-art rendering techniques tuned to work as low as middle
end handheld devices - without compromising with the possibilities given
for higher end desktop games of course. Great times ahead for the Godot
community and the gamers that will play our games!
