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.
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)
3.2 version of b5107715f1.
`get_seed()` still returns the previous state and not the initial seed,
because users may rely on this behavior for resetting the state in 3.2.
Documented this is going to be fixed in 4.0.

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.
(cherry picked from commit 5f4d64f4f3)
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.
When generating single precision floats, Godot casts a uint32_t to float,
causing uniformity loss.
This new randf, inspired by T. R. Campbell's random_real, samples the output
of rand as the fraction part of an infinite binary number, with some tricks
to reduce ops and branching. This method provides "good enough" uniformity at
decent speed, for floats greater than 2^-64. Smaller numbers are floored to 0.
