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 🎆
This also makes borders always display in the editor theme,
even if the editor scale is below 100%. Otherwise, "focus" outlines
would vanish when using an editor scale below 100%,
which harms usability.
Should fix#27009 where the DefaultProjectIcon was scaling
with the EDSCALE. Now it checks if the icon name is equal
to "DefaultProjectIcon" and sets the scale to 1.0 instead of
EDSCALE.
ToolButton has no redeeming differences with Button;
it's just a Button with the Flat property enabled by default.
Removing it avoids some confusion when creating GUIs.
Existing ToolButtons will be converted to Buttons, but the Flat
property won't be enabled automatically.
This closes https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/1081.
Which means that reduz' beloved style which we all became used to
will now be changed automatically to remove the first empty line.
This makes us lean closer to 1TBS (the one true brace style) instead
of hybridating it with some Allman-inspired spacing.
There's still the case of braces around single-statement blocks that
needs to be addressed (but clang-format can't help with that, but
clang-tidy may if we agree about it).
Part of #33027.
-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
Icons are no longer upsampled when using an integer editor scale.
This makes some icons slightly less crisp, but the icons themselves
can be adjusted to mitigate this. When using a non-integer editor
scale setting, upsampling is kept as it improves crispness in a
far more visible manner.
When upsampling is disabled, this speeds up the theme generation
by about 100 ms on average, making the project manager and editor
start slightly faster. This also speeds up switching between themes.
This prevents the editor theme from being created twice.
This speeds up the project editor and editor startup
significantly; startup is now 1.3 times faster on average
(tested on a debug build). RAM usage was also lowered by 7.5 MB
on average.
This partially addresses #35321.
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.
