- Add support for dispatching input on the render thread (UI thread is the current default) when `input_buffering` and `accumulated_input` are disabled. At the expense of latency, this helps prevent 'heavy' applications / games from blocking the UI thread (the default behavior) which may cause the application to ANR.
- Remove GLSurfaceView logic causing the UI thread to wait on the GL thread during lifecycle events. The removed logic would cause the UI thread to ANR when the GL thread is blocked.
https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/83976 added support for 3D MSAA on the Compatibility renderer, but it also mentions that on platforms other than Android, foveated rendering will not work if MSAA is enabled.
I removed the note saying that 3D MSAA is not supported on compatibility and added a comment mentioning that foveated rendering won't work on platforms other than android if 3D MSAA is enabled and added the alternative/equivalent for desktop.
Folder names ending with one or more `.` characters are not allowed
on Windows, so this would break writing logs, shader cache and other
project-specific files. Trailing periods are now stripped in this case.
On non-Windows platforms, this change still applies in the interest
of portability.
This preserves compatibility when upgrading Godot 4.2 projects which relied on that
path being configured in the editor settings.
The old name also makes sense for this one, it's fine for fbx2gltf_path to be under
a generic fbx category which could have more settings also impacting ufbx.
Disabling V-Sync when using the Compatibility rendering method works
since Godot 4.2 at least.
This also documents the `--disable-vsync` command line argument.
Due to the low resolution of the occlusion buffer, small gaps between occluders can be closed and incorrectly occlude instances which should show through the gaps. To ameliorate this problem, this PR jitters the occlusion buffer over time, making it more likely an instance will be seen through a gap. This is used in conjunction with an occlusion timer per instance, to prevent instances flickering on and off rapidly.
Adds `ui_text_skip_selection_for_next_occurrence` action and related implementation to text editor.
This action is bound `Ctrl+Alt+D` shorcut.
Used in conjonction with `ui_add_skip_selection_for_next_occurrence`, it gives the user the ability to select many occurrences of a selection
and avoid some of them.
Used without a previous selection, the action jumps to the next occurrence of the current word under the caret.
Adds fixed timestep interpolation to the rendering server (2D only).
Switchable on and off with a project setting (default is off).

Defaults to "Auto", which detects the casing based on the
preference of the currently selected language (C# for example
prefers PascalCase whereas GDScript prefers snake_case).
This update introduces a new import method for FBX files using ufbx. If the fbx2gltf import fails, it will use the most recently cached scene from the ufbx import. The process is sped up by introducing threads to load the ufbx portion.
Key changes include:
- Support for importing geometry helper nodes in FBX files.
- Addition of cameras and lights with updated names.
- Removal of the fbx importer manager.
- Introduction of ModelDocument3D and updates to its methods.
- Changes to FBX import options and visibility.
- Updating the documentation and handling some errors.
- Store the original non-unique node, mesh and animation names in FBX and glTF.

This small in-engine documentation change aims to make it easier to
discover ways to handle pixel art aesthetics.
- I have moved 2D pixel snapping settings out of "Advanced." This now matches other pixel-art-friendly settings for
GUI Snapping and Default Texture filtering.
- I've added notes to the project settings and Sprite/AnimatedSprite sources to hint users towards better understanding of why pixelated sprites may not work correctly and what to do about it. This should help users make informed decisions for their needs.
Context: Proper handling of pixel art in Godot is routinely frustrating for new users: I, like others, assumed that Godot would act on pixels, not subpixels, when I was working a pixel art game. I was confused when my interpolations would appear blurry, and when pixel textures would be distorted for no apparent reason (this was because of centering).
I had naively thought that setting Linear interpolation would be the single "it's a pixel art game" toggle, but that only hid the underlying issues until later. I had no idea there was a snap-to-pixel option because it was hidden in the Advanced options, since my default assumption was that a pixel art game would want no subpixels at all.
