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.
This PR introduces support for ARKit to the iOS version of Godot.
ARKit is Apples Augmented Reality platform.
This PR brings in support for ARKit 1.0 and implements a few ARKit 2.0 features.
It requires iOS 11 to run but should not prevent Godot from running on older versions as long as ARKit remains unused.
By introducing an intermediate proxy class for the array subscript
operator for String and CharString we can control better when CowData
will actually CoW.
This should improve performance of String usage for most cases.
Now generating mouse events from touch is optional (on by default) and it's performed by `InputDefault` instead of having each OS abstraction doing it. (*)
The translation algorithm waits for a touch index to be pressed and tracks it translating its events to mouse events until it is raised, while ignoring other pointers.
Furthermore, to avoid an stuck "touch mouse", since not all platforms may report touches raised when the window is unfocused, it checks if touches are still down by the time it's focused again and if so it resets the state of the emulated mouse.
*: In the case of Windows, since it already provides touch-to-mouse translation by itself, "echo" mouse events are filtered out to have it working like the rest.
On X11 a little hack has been needed to avoid a case of a spurious mouse motion event that is generated during touch interaction.
Plus: Improve/fix tracking of current mouse position.
** Summary of changes to settings: **
- `display/window/handheld/emulate_touchscreen` becomes `input/pointing_devices/emulate_touch_from_mouse`
- New setting: `input/pointing_devices/emulate_mouse_from_touch`
Starting from April 2018 Apple no longer accepts apps that do not
support iPhone X. For games this mainly means respecting the safe area,
unobstructed by notch and virtual home button. UI controls must be
placed within the safe area so that users can interact with them.
This commit:
- Adds OS::get_window_safe_area method that returns unobscured area of
the window, where interactive controls should be rendered.
- Reorganizes how launch screens are exported - the previous way was
incorrect and modern iPhones did not pick up the correct screens and
because of that used a non-native resolution to render the game.
- Adds launch screen options for iPhone X.
- Makes launch screens optional in the export template. If not
specified, a white screen will be used.
- Adds App Store icon (1024x1024) export option as it now has to be
bundled with the app instead of being provided in iTunes Connect.
- Fixes crash when launching games in iOS Simulator. It happened because
controllerWasConnected callback came before the engine was
initialized. Now in such case the controllers will be queued up and
registered after initialization is done.
- Fixes issue with the virtual keyboard where for some reason
autocorrection panel would intersect with the keyboard itself and not
allow you to use the top row of the keyboard. This is fixed by
disabling autocorrection altogether.
Closes#17358. Fixes#17428. Fixes#17331.
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.
On mobile platforms virtual keyboards take up significant amount of
screen space and UI containing a text box may need to be adjusted
after the keyboard appears to keep the text box visible to user. This
commit adds a way to obtain virtual keyabord height so that controls
are aware of how much they need to move.
-Changed SectionedPropertyEditor to support this
-Renamed Globals singleton to GlobalConfig, makes more sense.
-Changed the logic behind persisten global settings, instead of the persist checkbox, a revert button is now available
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!

-Moved drawing code to a single function that takes linked list (should make it easier to optimize in the future).
-Implemented Z ordering of 2D nodes. Node2D and those that inherit have a visibility/Z property that affects drawing order (besides the tree order)
-Removed OpenGL ES 1.x support. Good riddance!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
3D Physics:
-Fixed "Bounce" parameter in 3D
-Fixed bug affecting Area (sometims it would not detect properly)
-Vehicle Body has seen heavy work
-Added Query API for doing space queries in 3D. Needs some docs though.
-Added JOINTS! Adapted Bullet Joints: and created easy gizmos for setting them up:
-PinJoint
-HingeJoint (with motor)
-SliderJoint
-ConeTwistJoint
-Generic6DOFJoint
-Added OBJECT PICKING! based on the new query API. Any physics object now (Area or Body) has the following signals and virtual functions:
-input_event (mouse or multitouch input over the body)
-mouse_enter (mouse entered the body area)
-mouse_exit (mouse exited body area)
For Area it needs to be activated manually, as it isn't by default (ray goes thru).
Other:
-Begun working on Windows 8 (RT) port. Compiles but does not work yet.
-Added TheoraPlayer library for improved to-texture and portable video support.
-Fixed a few bugs in the renderer, collada importer, collada exporter, etc.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-Auto indenter in code editor, this makes it much easier to paste external code.
-Zoom in 2D viewport now uses the mouse pointer as reference.
-Obscure hack to see where code/line of GDScript in C++ backtrace.
-Fixed a bug where keys would get stuck on X11 if pressed simultaneously
-Added Api on IP singleton to request local IPs.
-Premultiplied alpha support when importing texture, editing PNGs and as a blend mode.
-IMA-ADPCM support for samples, this means that sound effects can be compressed and use 4 timess less RAM.
-New 3D import workflow based on Wavefront OBJ. Import single objects as mesh resources instead of full scenes. Many people prefers to work this way. Just like the rest of the imported resources, these are updated in realtime if modified externally.
-Mesh resources now support naming surfaces. This helps reimporting to identify which user-created materials must be kept.
-Several fixes and improvements to SurfaceTool.
-Anti Aliasing added to WorldEnvironment effects (using FXAA)
-2D Physics bodies (RigidBody, KinematicBody, etc), Raycasts, Tilemap, etc support collision layers. This makes easy to group which objects collide against which.
-2D Trigger shapes can now also trigger collision reporting in other 2D bodies (it used to be in Area2D before)
-Viewport render target textures can now be filtered.
-Few fixes in GDscript make it easier to work with static functions and class members.
-Several and many bugfixes.
-Detect when free() might crash the project and throw error
-fixed 2D Bounce in physics (3d still broken)
-renamed “on_top” property to “behind_parent”, which makes more sense, old on_top remains there for compatibility but is invisible.
-large amount of fixes
-fix some menus
-fixed bug in out transition curves
-detect and remove file:/// in collada
-remove multiscript for now
-remove dependencies on mouse in OS, moved to Input
-avoid fscache from screwing up (fix might make it slower, but it works)
-funcref was missing, it's there now
