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.
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
We no longer compile for armv7 and x86 in the official export templates,
as those architectures are no longer relevant for iOS.
If users really want to support armv7 (used on devices from before
September 2013, e.g. iPhone 5), they can still build their own templates
and toggle the option.
We might remove the option altogether in a later release to avoid the
confusion for users that might tick the checkbox without having compiled
their own templates.
Fixes#34135.
It's the recommended way to set those, and is more portable
(automatically prepends -D for GCC/Clang and /D for MSVC).
We still use CPPFLAGS for some pre-processor flags which are not
defines.
This PR introduces support for ARKit to the iOS version of Godot.
ARKit is Apples Augmented Reality platform.
This PR brings in support for ARKit 1.0 and implements a few ARKit 2.0 features.
It requires iOS 11 to run but should not prevent Godot from running on older versions as long as ARKit remains unused.
This is a new singleton where camera sources such as webcams or cameras on a mobile phone can register themselves with the Server.
Other parts of Godot can interact with this to obtain images from the camera as textures.
This work includes additions to the Visual Server to use this functionality to present the camera image in the background. This is specifically targetted at AR applications.
It's not necessary, but the vast majority of calls of error macros
do have an ending semicolon, so it's best to be consistent.
Most WARN_DEPRECATED calls did *not* have a semicolon, but there's
no reason for them to be treated differently.
Those were disable to keep size small, and on Android avoid the dependency on the STL,
but for tools build (editor) this is not really a concern.
Note: as of today it's not possible to build tools=yes for those platforms, but this
change is one of the necessary steps to enable it.
Fixes#25262.
Reasoning: ID is not an acronym, it is simply short for identification, so it logically should not be capitalized. But even if it was an acronym, other acronyms in Godot are not capitalized, like p_rid, p_ip, and p_json.
Include paths are processed from left to right, so we use Prepend to
ensure that paths to bundled thirdparty files will have precedence over
system paths (e.g. `/usr/include` should have lowest priority).
Many contributors (me included) did not fully understand what CCFLAGS,
CXXFLAGS and CPPFLAGS refer to exactly, and were thus not using them
in the way they are intended to be.
As per the SCons manual: https://www.scons.org/doc/HTML/scons-user/apa.html
- CCFLAGS: General options that are passed to the C and C++ compilers.
- CFLAGS: General options that are passed to the C compiler (C only;
not C++).
- CXXFLAGS: General options that are passed to the C++ compiler. By
default, this includes the value of $CCFLAGS, so that setting
$CCFLAGS affects both C and C++ compilation.
- CPPFLAGS: User-specified C preprocessor options. These will be
included in any command that uses the C preprocessor, including not
just compilation of C and C++ source files [...], but also [...]
Fortran [...] and [...] assembly language source file[s].
TL;DR: Compiler options go to CCFLAGS, unless they must be restricted
to either C (CFLAGS) or C++ (CXXFLAGS). Preprocessor defines go to
CPPFLAGS.
GLES2 is not designed to be a drop-in replacement for the GLES3 backend,
so the fallback mode has to be used knowingly. It *can* make sense for
simple projects which make sure to handle the differences between both
rendering backends, but most users should stick to one supported backend.
By making it opt-in, we can now use this parameter to define whether to
export ETC textures to Android and iOS when using GLES3 + Fallback.
When using GLES3 without Fallback on Android, set the proper min GLES
version in the AndroidManifest.
Also made the option boolean and renamed it for clarity and to avoid
conflict with the previous String option (which would always evaluate as
"true" otherwise).
Fixes#26569.
For HTML5, we need to support S3TC if running on desktop,
and ETC or ETC2 for mobile, so make this explicit.
Add logic to check for ETC2 support on GLES3,
and remove incorrect ETC feature for GLES3 on Android.
Fix ETC check invalidating templates on HTML5.
Fixes#26476.
