When reading SCREEN_TEXTURE in a shader, this previously only worked succesfully for the first read of the screen, because state.canvas_texscreen_used was never getting reset. This PR resets state.canvas_texscreen_used at the beginning of each joined item, so that further screen reads can happen.
Joining items across z_indices can interfere with light culling for lights which only affect certain z ranges. This PR disables joining across z_indices when lights are present, except specifically for lights with both z_min set to the global minimum (-4096) and z_max set to the global maximum (4096).
In addition, the z_index is now stored on the joined_item for accurate light culling. The z_index is also displayed in frame diagnostics.
In rare circumstances default batches were being joined incorrectly, causing visual regressions. This logic has been fixed.
In addition slightly more output information has been added to frame diagnosis mode.
Batching across z_index layers was not preserving the batch_break flag, which determines whether to not join the previous item. This is fixed by storing the flag in RenderItemState and preserving it across canvas_render_items calls.
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.
This adds 2 new values (items and draw calls) to the performance monitor in a '2d' section, rather than reusing the 3d values in the 'raster' section.
This makes it far easier to optimize games to minimize drawcalls.
Defers sending 'transform' commands within a RasterizerCanvas::Item until they are needed for default batches. Instead locally caches the extra matrix and applies it using software transform, preventing unnecessary batch breaks.
The logic is relatively complex, and the whole 'extra matrix' of the legacy renderer in addition to the final_transform is not ideal. However this is required to accelerate some user drawing techniques, and later the lines in the IDE.
Extra functions canvas_render_items_begin and canvas_render_items_end are added to RasterizerCanvas, with noop stubs for non-GLES2 renderers. This enables batching to be spready over multiple z_indices, and multiple calls to canvas_render_items.
It does this by only performing item joining within canvas_render_items, and deferring rendering until canvas_render_items_end().
Determined that a large reason for the decrease in performance in unbatchable scenes was due to the new routine being analogous to the 'nvidia workaround' code, that is about half the speed. So this simply uses the old routine in the case of single unbatchable rects. Hopefully we will be able to remove the old path at a later stage.
Where the final_modulate color varies between render_items this can prevent batching. This PR solves this by baking final_modulate into the vertex colors, and setting the uniform 'final_modulate' to white, and allowing the joining of items that have different final_modulate values. The previous batching system can then cope with vertex color changes as normal.
2d rendering is currently bottlenecked by drawing primitives one at a time, limiting OpenGL efficiency. This PR batches primitives and renders in fewer drawcalls, resulting in significant performance improvements. This also speeds up text rendering.
This PR batches across canvas items as well as within items.
The code dynamically chooses between a vertex format with and without color, depending on the input data for a frame, in order to optimize throughput and maximize batch size. It also adds an option to use glScissor to reduce fillrate in light passes.
Namely, move the drive dropdown to just the left of the path text box and don't include the former
in the latter.
This improves the UX on Windows.
In the UNIX case, since its concept of drives is (ab)used to provide shortcuts to useful paths, its
dropdown is kept at the original location.
Pith bend message now has correct size (was 2 bytes instead of 3).
Recognized (but not implemented) 0xF? messages. SysEx messages will be reocognized as such, but their contents will be ignored.
Fixes#26637.
Fixes#19900.
The viewport_size returned by get_viewport_size was previously incorrect, being half the correct value. The function is renamed to get_viewport_half_extents, and now returns a Vector2.
Code which called this function has also been modified accordingly.
This PR also fixes shadow culling when using ortho cameras, because the correct input for CameraMatrix::set_orthogonal should be the full HEIGHT from get_viewport_half_extents, and not half the width.
It also fixes state.ubo_data.viewport_size in rasterizer_scene_gles3.cpp to be the width and the height of the viewport in pixels as stated in the documentation, rather than the current value which is half the viewport extents in worldspace, presumed to be a bug.

Some documentation improvements were kept for pre-existing methods.
See rationale for reverting these changes in #30468.
All the calculations leading up to `mipLevel` are only relevant for
Panorama mode. Similarly, the `source_resolution` uniform is only
needed for that mode.

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
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.
The new 'split_libmodules=yes' option is useful to work around linker
command line size limitations when linking a huge number of objects.
We're currently over 64k chars when linking libmodules.a on Windows
with MinGW, which triggers issues as seen in #30892.
Even on Linux, we can also reach linker command line size limitations
by adding more custom modules.
We force this option to True for MinGW on Windows, which fixes#30892.
Additional changes to lib splitting:
- Fix linking of the split module libs with interdependent symbols,
hacking our way into LINKCOM and SHLINKCOM to set the `--start-group`
and `--end-group` flags.
- Fix Python 3 compatibility in `methods.split_lib()`.
- Drop seemingly obsolete condition for 'msys' on 'posix'.
- Drop the unnecessary 'split_drivers' as the drivers lib is no longer
too big since we moved all thirdparty builds to modules.
