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 🎆
Since we clone the environments to build thirdparty code, we don't get an
explicit dependency on the build objects produced by that environment.
So when we update thirdparty code, Godot code using it is not necessarily
rebuilt (I think it is for changed headers, but not for changed .c/.cpp files),
which can lead to an invalid compilation output (linking old Godot .o files
with a newer, potentially ABI breaking version of thirdparty code).
This was only seen as really problematic with bullet updates (leading to
crashes when rebuilding Godot after a bullet update without cleaning .o files),
but it's safer to fix it everywhere, even if it's a LOT of hacky boilerplate.
-Changed how mesh data is organized, hoping to make it more efficient on Vulkan and GLES.
-Removed compression, it now always uses the most efficient format.
-Added support for custom arrays (up to 8 custom formats)
-Added support for 8 weights in skeleton data.
-Added a simple optional versioning system for imported assets, to reimport if binary is newer
-Fixes #43979 (I needed to test)
WARNING:
-NOT backwards compatible with previous 4.x-devel, will most likely never be, but it will force reimport scenes due to version change.
-NOT backwards compatible with 3.x scenes, this will be eventually re-added.
-Skeletons not working any longer, will fix in next PR.
Allow gradients and 2d images.
Use shader versions for LUT in tonemap

When using the ALSA driver, corruption would occur if `snd_pcm_writei`
was unable to consume the entire sound buffer. This would occur
frequently on the Raspberry Pi 3 which uses the `snd_bcm2835` audio
driver.
This bug resulted from incorrect pointer math on line 187, resulting in
the sample source pointer being advanced by `total * ad->channels` bytes
instead of `total * ad->channels` samples. In my opinion, the best fix
is to change `*src` to type `int16_t`, since that is the sample type in
use.
Fixes#43927.
See #43689.
Also 'fixed' some spelling for behavior in publicly visible strings.
(Sorry en_GB, en_CA, en_AU, and more... Silicon Valley won the tech spelling
war.)
-Allows merging several 2D objects into a single draw operation
-Use current node to clip children nodes
-Further fixes to Vulkan barriers
-Changed font texture generation to white, fixes dark eges when blurred
-Other small misc fixes to backbuffer code.
They're now disabled by default, and can be enabled with the command line
argument `--vk-layers`.
When enabled, the errors about them being missing are now warnings, as
users were confused and thought this meant Vulkan is broken for them.
Fix crash in `~VulkanContext` when validation layers are disabled (exposed by
this PR since before they could not be disabled without source modification).
Also moved VulkanContext member initializations to header.
Fixes#37102.
This commit moves the declaration of a local variable to ensure its
scope survives long enough; at least in some versions of GCC and LLVM
the associated memory was freed too early and thus caused issues ranging
from black screens to crashes.
-Removed normal/specular properties from nodes
-Create CanvasTexture, which can contain normal/specular channels
-Refactored, optimized and simplified 2D shaders
-Use atlas for light textures.
-Use a shadow atlas for shadow textures.
-Use both items aboves to make light rendering stateless (faster).
-Reorganized uniform sets for more efficiency.
