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)
- `EditorNavigationMeshGenerator` was being registered as part of the Core API,
even after d3f48f88bb. We must make sure to
set Editor as the current ClassDB API type before creating an instance.
- The `VisualScriptEngineSingleton.constant` property has a property hint string
that's different between tools and non-tools builds. This commit makes the
hint string to no longer be set in `_bind_methods`, and to instead set it in
`_validate_property`. This way it's ignored when calculating the API hash.
- `JavaClassWrapper` is now registered in ClassDB on all platforms,
using a dummy implementation on platforms other than Android.
This fixes API portability between Android and other platforms.
- Updated `--class-db-json` command to ignore non-virtual methods that start
with an underscore (see: 4be87c6016).
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.
Also added an option to output a json file with all the ClassDB registered classes and its members. This can be used to compare the API of two different builds by a simple diff.
