That year should bring the long-awaited OpenGL ES 3.0 compatible renderer
with state-of-the-art rendering techniques tuned to work as low as middle
end handheld devices - without compromising with the possibilities given
for higher end desktop games of course. Great times ahead for the Godot
community and the gamers that will play our games!
-Most 2D drawing is implemented
-Missing shaders
-Missing all 3D
-Editor needs to be set on update always to be used, otherwise it does not refresh
-Large parts of editor not working
Added support for 2D shadow casters.
*DANGER* Shaders in CanvasItem CHANGED, if you are using shader in a
CanvasItem and pull this, you will lose them. Shaders now work through a
2D material system similar to 3D. If you don't want to lose the 2D
shader code, save the shader as a .shd, then create a material in
CanvasItem and re-assign the shader.
-Fixed many bugs in stretch mode
-Fixes to camera project and unproject as consequence of the above
-added setget to script (documented in script doc)
-more fixes to collada exporter for blender
-=-=-=-=-=-
-fix duplicate function bug when creating script callback in editor
-fix bug where hiding lights does not work
-fix 2D audio listener bug (romulox_x reported)
-fix exported properties with inheritance bug
-fix timer autostart (make it not work on editor)
-reactivate first camara found if viewport runs out of active camera
-option to hide gizmos in viewport
-changed skeleton gizmo because it sucks
-Make convex shapes using CollisionShape visible (use quickhull class)
-fix up menu when editing a mesh, to export collision, navmesh, convex, etc. from it.
-make a menu option to show SRGB in 3D editor views by default
-make option to edit default light direction in viewport settings
-make option to edit default ambient light in viewport settings
-make software conversion of linear->RGB if hardware support not found
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-Fixes to Collada Exporter (avoid crash situtions)
-Fixed to Collada Importer (Fixed Animation Optimizer Bugs)
-Fixes to RigidBody/RigidBody2D body_enter/body_exit, was buggy
-Fixed ability for RigidBody/RigidBody2D to get contacts reported and bodyin/out in Kinematic mode.
-Added proper trigger support for 3D Physics shapes
-Changed proper value for Z-Offset in OmniLight
-Fixed spot attenuation bug in SpotLight
-Fixed some 3D and 2D spatial soudn bugs related to distance attenuation.
-Fixed bugs in EventPlayer (channels were muted by default)
-Fix in ButtonGroup (get nodes in group are now returned in order)
-Fixed Linear->SRGB Conversion, previous algo sucked, new algo works OK
-Changed SRGB->Linear conversion to use hardware if supported, improves texture quality a lot
-Fixed options for Y-Fov and X-Fov in camera, should be more intuitive.
-Fixed bugs related to viewports and transparency
Huge Amount of New Stuff:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-
-Ability to manually advance an AnimationPlayer that is inactive (with advance() function)
-More work in WinRT platform
-Added XY normalmap support, imports on this format by default. Reduces normlmap size and enables much nice compression using LATC
-Added Anisotropic filter support to textures, can be specified on import
-Added support for Non-Square, Isometric and Hexagonal tilemaps in TileMap.
-Added Isometric Dungeon demo.
-Added simple hexagonal map demo.
-Added Truck-Town demo. Shows how most types of joints and vehicles are used. Please somebody make a nicer town, this one is too hardcore.
-Added an Object-Picking API to both RigidBody and Area! (and relevant demo)
-=-=-=-=-=-=
-Object Picking and orthogonal camera related functions fixed (i hope)
-Going to preview mode in the camera shows a frame with the correct game aspect ratio
-Changed Camera API and properties a little t make it more straightforward
-Fixed bug in shader compiler.
-Fixed bug in ShaderGL
==========
-NOTIFICATION_WM_QUIT fixed on android (seems tha way this is reported changed in newer sdk)
-WIP implementation of APK Expansion APIs for publishing games larger than 50mb in Play Store
-Feaures in the new tutorials are all present in the sourcecode
-This (hopefully) should get rid of the animation list order getting corrupted
-Improved 3D Scene Importer (Skeletons, Animations and other stuff were not being merged). Anything missing?
-In code editor, the automatic syntax checker will only use file_exists() to check preload() else it might freeze the editor too much while typing if the preload is a big resource
-Fixed bugs in PolygonPathFinder, stil pending to do a node and a demo
