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 🎆
- Initialize Object pointer to nullptr so it's not used by mistake.
- When setting an Object check if it's a reference so refcounting works
as intended.
- Allow getting an opaque pointer, no matter the type (for ptrcall).
- Allow setting object pointer and id directly.
- Allow initializing the data given a type, to allow properly setting
return types on ptrcalls.
The validated getters were only setting the value without changing the
type, leading to wrong results. This uses the same path used for
methods to the same purpose.
The underscore prefix was used to avoid the conflict between the `RID` class
name and the matching enum value in `Variant::Type`.
This can be fixed differently by prefixing uses of the `RID` class in `Variant`
with the scope resolution operator, as done already for `AABB`.
