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.
Polygon2D:
The property wasn't used anymore after switching from canvas_item_add_polygon() to canvas_item_add_triangle_array() for drawing.
Line2D:
Added the same property as for Polygon2D & fixed smooth line drawing to use indices correctly.
Fixes#26823
It has a big impact on 2D and text rendering performance (cf. #24466)
so the solution seems worse than the bug it aims to work around.
It's now opt-in via "rendering/quality/2d/gles2_use_nvidia_rect_flicker_workaround"
for those who need it and have a simple enough game for the performance
drop not to be an issue.
Fixes#24466.
This reverts commit f55039b194.
The GLES2 batching seems to require more testing and tweaking in order
to actually make the performance better on Android devices. It's been
proved with #21184 that the current implementation has it's drawbacks
therefore I suggest reverting the commit for now.
Adds GLES2 draw calls batching for the same render list item that uses
multiple rasterizer commands (e.g. Label node; a node with multiple
GDScript draw_* calls).
This commit adds a new rendering backend, GLES2, and adds a
project setting to enable it.
Currently this backend can only be used on the X11 platform,
but integrating into other platforms is planned.
