* Node processing works on the concept of process groups.
* A node group can be inherited, run on main thread, or a sub-thread.
* Groups can be ordered.
* Process priority is now present for physics.
This is the first steps towards implementing https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/6424.
No threading or thread guards exist yet in most of the scene code other than Node. That will have to be added later.
Provides an obvious way to unload the currently loaded scene (which is nowhere to be found in the docs).
The SceneTree.change_scene_to() method must now always provide a valid PackedScene.
Fixes#63565.
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".
Before this change, the SceneTree had methods named “change_scene” and
“change_scene_to”. One of them accepted a String as a parameter and the
other accepted a PackedScene, but you couldn’t tell which one was which
just by looking at their names.
This change renames those two methods to “change_scene_to_file” and
“change_scene_to_packed”. These new names came from this suggestion [1].
These new names make the difference between the two methods more clear
and hint at the fact that there’s more than one change_scene method.

Fixes#27640.
* Map is unnecessary and inefficient in almost every case.
* Replaced by the new HashMap.
* Renamed Map to RBMap and Set to RBSet for cases that still make sense
(order matters) but use is discouraged.
There were very few cases where replacing by HashMap was undesired because
keeping the key order was intended.
I tried to keep those (as RBMap) as much as possible, but might have missed
some. Review appreciated!
Removes custom_multiplayer from Node.
MultiplayerAPI overrides are now set at SceneTree level, and apply to
whole branches.
Impact on performance when using only the default multiplayer or
overriding it is minimal, the use of branches can likely be further
optimized by caching nodes and relevant MultiplayerAPI IDs.
Type emit_signal exposed method return type
set UndoRedo add_do_method and add_undo_method exposed return void
Set TreeItem::_call_recursive_bind returns void
Set _rpc_bind and _rpc_id_bind returns void in Node
Set _call_group and _call_group_flags method returns void in SceneTree
Set godot-cpp-test CI flag to false
* Very old macros from the time Godot was created.
* Limited arguments to 5 (then later changed to 8) in many places.
* They were replaced by C++11 Variadic Templates.
* Renamed methods that take argument pointers to have a "p" suffix. This was used in some places and not in others, so made it standard.
* Also added a dereference check for Variant*. Helped catch a couple of bugs.
Initial implementation of the MultiplayerReplicationInterface and its
default implementation (SceneReplicationInterface).
New MultiplayerSpawner node helps dealing with instantiation of scenes
on remote peers (e.g. clients).
It supports both custom spawns via a `_spawn_custom` virtual function,
and optional auto-spawn of known scenes via a TypedArray<PackedScenes>
property.
New MultiplayerSynchornizer helps synchronizing states between the local
and remote peers, supports both sync and spawn properties and is
configured via a `SceneReplicationConfig` resource.
It can also sync via path (i.e. without being spawned by a
MultiplayerSpawner if both peers has it in tree, but will not send the
spawn state in that case, only the sync one.
Move multiplayer classes to "core/multiplayer" subdir.
Move the RPCConfig and enums (TransferMode, RPCMode) to a separate
file (multiplayer.h), and bind them to the global namespace.
Move the RPC handling code to its own class (RPCManager).
Renames "get_rpc_sender_id" to "get_remote_sender_id".
* `_gui_input`, `_input`, `_unhandled_input` and `_unhandled_key_input` are now regular C++ virutal functions.
* Everything else converted to GDVIRTUAL
* BIND_VMETHOD is gone, always use the new syntax from now on.
Creating `_gui_input` method and using the binder to register events will no longer work, simply override the virtual function now.
* Tweens were changed from Node to RefCounted. New API is inspired by DOTween.
* Tweens are created and managed by SceneTree, similar to SceneTreeTimer, which makes them ultra cheap to use a lot.
* Animating with Tweens is done by creating sequences of Tweeners. You create them from code and they autostart by default (fire-and-forget).
* There are 4 Tweeners that cover the former Tween functionality: PropertyTweener, IntervalTweener, CallbackTweener and MethodTweener.
* The methods were simplified a lot. Long argument lists are replaced with chained calls on Tweens and Tweeners.
* Tweeners by default execute in sequence, so it's easy to create complex chained animations.
* You can bind a Tween to a node. Tween will be removed automatically when the bound node is freed.
* Adds both a preview sun and preview environment to the 3D editor.
* They are valid as long as a DirectionalLight3D and WorldEnvironment are not in the scene.
* If any is added to the scene, the respective preview is disabled.
* Changed WorldEnvironment to better handle multiple node versions.
* Added a function in SceneTree to get the first node in a group.
* Fixed button minimum size to also consider font height if no text is there, this broke with the TextSever PR.
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 🎆
In general they are more confusing to users because they expect
inheritance to fully override parent methods. This behavior can be
enabled by script writers using a simple super() call.
