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 🎆
Moved previously builtin modules 'GameCenter', 'AppStore', 'iCloud' to separate modules to be represented as plugin.
Modified 'ARKit' and 'Camera' to not be builtin into engine and work as plugin.
Changed platform code so it's not affected by the move.
Modified Xcode project file to remove parameters that doesn't make any effect.
Added basic '.gdip' plugin config file.
Enabled ARC for iOS.
Weakify/Strongify macros for objc blocks.
Removed old version checks.
Specific types for ObjC++ modules to exclude unneeded bridging.
Separate DeviceMetrics class for device specific data.
Replaced old/deprecated functionality.
This code currently isn't compiled (and cannot compile).
We plan to re-add OpenGL ES-based renderer(s) in Godot 4.0 alongside Vulkan
(probably ES 3.0, possibly also a low-end ES 2.0), but the code will be quite
different so it's not relevant to keep this old Godot 3.2 code.
The `drivers/gles2` code from the `3.2` branch can be used as a reference for
a potential new implementation.
Implemented Vulkan Support.
Use DisplayServer for rendering and input handling
Use single view for rendering in both GLES2 (not supported yet) and Vulkan
Use @available checks where it's required (otherwise compiler would fail compilation)
Simulator checks
