As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
Backported from #70885.
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 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
UDPServer now uses a single socket which is shared with the
PacketPeerUDP it creates and has a new `poll` function to read incoming
packets on that socket and delivers them to the appropriate peer.
PacketPeerUDP created this way never reads from the socket, but are
allowed to write on it using sendto.
This is needed because Windows (unlike Linux/BSD) does not support
packet routing when multiple sockets are bound on the same address/port.
(cherry picked from commit 147bbe2155)
UDP sockets can be "connected" to filter packets from a specific source.
In case of a bound socket (e.g. server), a new socket can be created on
the same address/port that will receive all packets that are not
filtered by a more specific socket (e.g. the previously connect socket).
This way, a UDPServer can listen to new packets, and return a new
PacketPeerUDP when receiving one, knowing that is a "new client".
