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!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-Fixes to Collada Exporter (avoid crash situtions)
-Fixed to Collada Importer (Fixed Animation Optimizer Bugs)
-Fixes to RigidBody/RigidBody2D body_enter/body_exit, was buggy
-Fixed ability for RigidBody/RigidBody2D to get contacts reported and bodyin/out in Kinematic mode.
-Added proper trigger support for 3D Physics shapes
-Changed proper value for Z-Offset in OmniLight
-Fixed spot attenuation bug in SpotLight
-Fixed some 3D and 2D spatial soudn bugs related to distance attenuation.
-Fixed bugs in EventPlayer (channels were muted by default)
-Fix in ButtonGroup (get nodes in group are now returned in order)
-Fixed Linear->SRGB Conversion, previous algo sucked, new algo works OK
-Changed SRGB->Linear conversion to use hardware if supported, improves texture quality a lot
-Fixed options for Y-Fov and X-Fov in camera, should be more intuitive.
-Fixed bugs related to viewports and transparency
Huge Amount of New Stuff:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-
-Ability to manually advance an AnimationPlayer that is inactive (with advance() function)
-More work in WinRT platform
-Added XY normalmap support, imports on this format by default. Reduces normlmap size and enables much nice compression using LATC
-Added Anisotropic filter support to textures, can be specified on import
-Added support for Non-Square, Isometric and Hexagonal tilemaps in TileMap.
-Added Isometric Dungeon demo.
-Added simple hexagonal map demo.
-Added Truck-Town demo. Shows how most types of joints and vehicles are used. Please somebody make a nicer town, this one is too hardcore.
-Added an Object-Picking API to both RigidBody and Area! (and relevant demo)
- #672 (default user:// in $HOME/.godot/app_userdata (linux/osx) and $APPDATA/Godot/app_userdata (Windows)
- #676 (draw both tiles and octants in order from top to bottom, left to right )
- #686 (unicode escape sequences work now)
- #702 (was not a bug, but a test was added to see if bodies went too far away)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-New Vehicle (Based on Bullet's RaycastVehicle) - Vehiclebody/VehicleWheel. Demo will come soon, old vehicle (CarBody) will go away soon too.
-A lot of fixes to the 3D physics engine
-Added KinematicBody with demo
-Fixed the space query API for 2D (demo will come soon). 3D is WIP.
-Fixed long-standing bug with body_enter/body_exit for Area and Area2D
-Performance variables now includes physics (active bodies, collision pairs and islands)
-Ability to see what's inside of instanced scenes!
-Fixed Blend Shapes (no bs+skeleton yet)
-Added an Android JavaClassWrapper singleton for using Android native classes directly from GDScript. This is very Alpha!
