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".
These typedefs don't save much typing compared to the full `Ref<Resource>`
and `Ref<RefCounted>`, yet they sometimes introduce confusion among
new contributors.
- Replaced unused code related to old close icon with a button
- Add bezier handle options to right-click menu
- Remove mirror handle mode, only keep balanced
- Update animation reference
Roughly based on https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/3375 (used format is slightly different).
* Implement bitwidth based animation compression (see animation.h for format).
* Can compress imported animations up to 10 times.
* Compression format opens the door to streaming.
* Works transparently (happens all inside animation.h)
* New track type BLEND_SHAPE
* Blend shapes are imported via this new track type
* Processing is more optimized (no longer relies on variants)
* Modified the Blend Shape API in MeshInstance3D to use indices rather than StringNames (more optimizes)
* Promo: Fixed a small bug in gizmo updating in Node3D that affected performance
Dedicated BlendShape tracks are required for both optimization and eventually implementing them in animation compression.
* `Animation.TYPE_TRANSFORM3D` track is gone.
* Added POSITION_3D, ROTATION_3D, SCALE_3D tracks.
* GLTF2, Collada, FBX importers will only import the track types found.
* Skeleton3D bone poses are now Pos/Rot/Scale, pose matrix removed.
* AnimationPlayer and AnimationTree animate these tracks separately, only when found.
* Removed BakeReset code, is useless with these changes.
This is the first in a series of commits designed to make the animation system in Godot more useful, which includes:
* Better compatibility with Autodesk products
* Better reusability of animations across models (including retargeting).
* Proper animation compression.
* etc.
*Note* GLTF2 animation saving went broken with this PR, needs to be fixed in a subsequent one.
-Added a new method in Resource: reset_state , used for reloading the same resource from disk
-Added a new cache mode "replace" in ResourceLoader, which reuses existing loaded sub-resources but resets their data from disk (or replaces them if they chaged type)
-Because the correct sub-resource paths are always loaded now, this fixes bugs with subresource folding or subresource ordering when saving.
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 🎆
