- Fix objects with no material being considered as fully transparent by the lightmapper.
- Added "environment_min_light" property: gives artistic control over the shadow color.
- Fixed "Custom Color" environment mode, it was ignored before.
- Added "interior" property to BakedLightmapData: controls whether dynamic capture objects receive environment light or not.
- Automatically update dynamic capture objects when the capture data changes (also works for "energy" which used to require object movement to trigger the update).
- Added "use_in_baked_light" property to GridMap: controls whether the GridMap will be included in BakedLightmap bakes.
- Set "flush zero" and "denormal zero" mode for SSE2 instructions in the Embree raycaster. According to Embree docs it should give a performance improvement.
It can be enabled in the Project Settings
(`rendering/quality/filters/use_debanding`). It's disabled
by default as it has a small performance impact and can make
PNG screenshots much larger (due to how dithering works).
As a result, it should be enabled only when banding is noticeable enough.
Since debanding requires a HDR viewport to work, it's only supported
in the GLES3 backend.
Don't apply lighting to objects when they have a lightmap texture and
the light is set to BAKE_ALL. This prevents applying the same direct
light twice on the same object and makes setting up scenes with mixed
lighting much easier.
Option in MeshInstance to enable software skinning, in order to test
against the current USE_SKELETON_SOFTWARE path which causes problems
with bad performance.

Added project setting to enable / disable print frame diagnostics every 10 seconds. This prints out a list of batches and info, which is useful to optimize games and identify performance problems.
We already removed it from the online docs with #35132.
Currently it can only be "Built-In Types" (Variant types) or "Core"
(everything else), which is of limited use.
We might also want to consider dropping it from `ClassDB` altogether
in Godot 4.0.
- Add some missing descriptions.
- Add links to tutorials for ARVR and AnimationTree.
- Style fixes.
- Engine changes:
* Make `AnimationNodeTransition.input_<number>` properties internal
so that they don't appear in the docs. They still appear in the
inspector based on the actual number of inputs requested.
* Drop unimplemented `CPUParticles.flatness`. It's only used for 3D
particles in `ParticlesMaterial`, and thus only relevant for
`CPUParticles3D`.
Some cases were not handled properly for Polygon2D after making changes in common code to fix Line2D antialiasing. Added an option for drawing polygons to differentiate the two use cases.
Fixes#34568
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
A new external MSAA setting was introduced in https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/33518
that fixed issues on GLES2 and Oculus Mobile VR. To avoid misunderstanding it was suggested
by @BastiaanOlij and discussed on discord to rename it to AndroidVR.
- Document a few more properties and methods
- Add more information to many classes
- Fix lots of typos and gramar mistakes
- Use [code] tags for parameters consistently
- Use [b] and [i] tags consistently
- Put "Warning:" and "Note:" on their own line to be more visible,
and make them always bold
- Tweak formatting in code examples to be more readable
- Use double quotes consistently
- Add more links to third-party technologies
All 100% completed: MainLoop, Node, Object, Path, Performance,
Reference, Resource, SceneState, SceneTree, UndoRedo.
Also fixed some en_GB occurrences as the reference spelling is en_US.
