Due to the port to Vulkan and complete redesign of the rendering backend,
the `drivers/gles3` code is no longer usable in this state and is not
planned to be ported to the new architecture.
The GLES2 backend is kept (while still disabled and non-working) as it
will eventually be ported to serve as the low-end renderer for Godot 4.0.
Some GLES3 features might be selectively ported to the updated GLES2
backend if there's a need for them, and extensions we can use for that.
So long, OpenGL driver bugs!
-Texture renamed to Texture2D
-TextureLayered as base now inherits 2Darray, cubemap and cubemap array
-Removed all references to flags in textures (they will go in the shader)
-Texture3D gone for now (will come back later done properly)
-Create base rasterizer for RenderDevice, RasterizerRD
This should speed up rendering slightly. While the project manager
is hardly demanding, this may help on high refresh-rate displays
or very slow machines.
This is needed as C# may free resources from the finalizer thread during
CSharpLanguage::finish(). Previously this would result in RIDs not being freed.
This option is meant to use together with `--path` or from a project
folder. Otherwise the project manager is opened and the option triggers
a crash.
Fixes#25589.
The previous behavior relying on the provided extension was problematic
on macOS since .zip is the main extension used for the full project
export (binary + data pack).
We add a dedicated `--export-pack` command line option to define when
only the data pack should be exported. Its extension will still be
inferred from the path.
Fixes#23073.
We were overriding values from `gamecontrollerdb.txt` (current, updated
upstream) with `gamecontrollerdb_205.txt` (legacy, SDL 2.0.5) and then
`gamecontrollerdb_204.txt` (legacy, SDL 2.0.4).
There was a comment to warn about this but it seems it did not prevent
using the wrong order for all this time...
Now `gamecontrollerdb.txt` mappings will properly override outdated
ones present in the `204` and `205` variants.
I'm barely scratching the surface of the changes needed to make the
--export command line interface easy to use, but this should already
improve things somewhat.
- Streamline `can_export()` templates check in all platforms, checking
first for the presence of official templates, then of any defined
custom template, and reporting on the absence of any.
Shouldn't change the actual return value much which is still true if
either release or debug is usable - we might want to change that
eventually and better validate against the requested target.
- Fix discrepancy between platforms using `custom_package/debug` and
`custom_template/debug` (resp. `release`).
All now use `custom_template`, which will break compatibility for
`export_presets.cfg` with earlier projects (but is easy to fix).
- Use `can_export()` when attempting a command line export and report
the same errors that would be shown in the editor.
- Improve error reporting after a failed export attempt, handling
missing template and invalid path more gracefully.
- Cleanup of unused stuff in EditorNode around the export workflow.
- Improve --export documentation in --help a bit.
Fixes#16949 (at least many of the misunderstandings listed there).
Fixes#18470.
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.
It was previously mentioning only one of the two required arguments.
This also mentions that the export path is relative to the project
directory.
This partially addresses #28646.
New contributors added to AUTHORS:
@allkhor, @Eoin-ONeill-Yokai, @timothyqiu, @madmiraal, @zaksnet
Update sponsors on splash screen.
Thanks to all contributors and donors for making Godot possible!
On iOS devices without a physical home button iOS
shows a home indicator instead. This is often in the
way of the UI or the game.
Added a project setting to disable hidden home indicator.
The default value is to hide the home indicator
This change allows error messages to be printed in the editor debugger when the game fails on load, instead of displaying them in the console terminal only.
