* Shader compilation is now cached. Subsequent loads take less than a millisecond.
* Improved game, editor and project manager startup time.
* Editor uses .godot/shader_cache to store shaders.
* Game uses user://shader_cache
* Project manager uses $config_dir/shader_cache
* Options to tweak shader caching in project settings.
* Editor path configuration moved from EditorSettings to new class, EditorPaths, so it can be available early on (before shaders are compiled).
* Reworked ShaderCompilerRD to ensure deterministic shader code creation (else shader may change and cache will be invalidated).
* Added shader compression with SMOLV: https://github.com/aras-p/smol-v
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 🎆
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.
Right now, games only work on devices when exported with FullAOT+Interpreter.
There are some issues left that need to addressed for FullAOT alone. Right now,
it's giving issues with the Godot.NativeCalls static constructor.
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.
Make the build system automatically build the C# Api assemblies to be shipped with the editor.
Make the editor, editor player and debug export templates use Api assemblies built with debug symbols.
Always run MSBuild to build the editor tools and Api assemblies when building Godot.
Several bugs fixed related to assembly hot reloading and restoring state.
Fix StringExtensions internal calls not being registered correctly, resulting in MissingMethodException.
- Bundle editor dependencies:
- 'GodotSharp': Root data directory for the editor
- 'Tools': Editor dependencies. Only GodotSharp.dll for now.
- 'Api': Prebuilt GodotSharp and GodotSharpEditor API assemblies.
- 'Mono': Mono files to bundle with the editor.
- 'bin': (Optional, not used for now) Mono bin directory.
- 'etc': Mono configuration files.
- 'lib': Mono dependency shared libraries.
- 'lib/mono/4.5': Framework assemblies.
- Added build option to copy the required files from the mono installation to 'GodotSharp/Mono'. Enable with 'copy_mono_root=yes'. Disabled by default.
- Export template dependencies:
- 'data_AppName'/'data_Godot':
- 'Mono': Mono files to bundle with the game.
- 'etc': Mono configuration files.
- 'lib': Mono dependency shared libraries.
- The data directory is generated when compiling and must be bundled with the export templates. In the case of OSX, the data directory must be placed inside the 'osx.zip' export template.
- In OSX, alternative location for directories (needed for app bundles) are:
- 'data_AppName/Mono/etc' --> '../Resources/GodotSharp/Mono/etc'
- 'data_AppName/Mono/lib' --> '../Frameworks/GodotSharp/Mono/lib'
- The editor can bundle prebuilt API assemblies.
- Generate them with a tools build by running: `--generate-cs-core-api <GodotSharp_OutputDir> --generate-cs-editor-api <GodotSharpEditor_OutputDir> <GodotSharp_OutputDir>/bin/Release/GodotSharp.dll` (This command will be simplified in the future and both projects will be in the same solution)
- Build the solutions and copy the output files to '#bin/GodotSharp/Api'.
- Fixed API assembly being added twice during the export process.
This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.
Using `misc/scripts/fix_headers.py` on all Godot files.
Some missing header guards were added, and the header inclusion order
was fixed in the Bullet module.
Spec version 0.7 from https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.7.html
(latest as of this commit).
Three virtual methods are added to OS for the various XDG paths we will use:
- OS::get_data_path gives XDG_DATA_HOME, or if missing:
~/.local/share on X11, ~/Library/Application Support/ on macOS and %APPDATA% on Windows
- OS::get_config_path gives XDG_CONFIG_HOME, or if missing:
~/.config on X11, ~/Library/Application Support/ on macOS and %APPDATA% on Windows
- OS::get_cache_path gives XDG_CACHE_HOME, or if missing:
~/.cache on X11, ~/Library/Caches on macOS and %APPDATA% on Windows
So for Windows there are no changes, for Linux we follow the full split spec
and for macOS stuff will move from ~/.godot to ~/Library/Application Support/Godot.
Support for system-wide installation of templates on Unix was removed for now,
as it's a bit hackish and I don't think anyone uses it.
user:// will still be OS::get_data_path() + "/godot/app_userdata/$name" by
default, but when using the application/config/use_shared_user_dir option
it will now use XDG_DATA_HOME/$name, e.g. ~/.local/share/MyGame.
For now everything still goes in EditorSettings::get_settings_dir(), but
this will be changed in a later commit to make use of the new splitting
where relevant.
Part of #3513.
