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 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
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.
Also drop some unused files.
Renamed:
- `platform/iphone/sem_iphone.h` -> `semaphore_iphone.h`
(same for `osx`)
- `platform/uwp/gl_context_egl.h` -> `context_egl_uwp.h`
- in `platform/windows`: `context_gl_win.h`, `crash_handler_win.h`,
`godot_win.cpp`, `joypad.h` and `key_mapping_win.h` all renamed to
use `windows`. Some classes renamed accordingly too.
- `EditorExportAndroid` and `EditorExportUWP` renamed to
`EditorExportPlatformAndroid` and `EditorExportPlatformUWP`
- `power_android` and `power_osx` renamed to `PowerAndroid` and
`PowerOSX`
- `OSUWP` renamed to `OS_UWP`
Dropped:
- `platform/windows/ctxgl_procaddr.h`
Now generating mouse events from touch is optional (on by default) and it's performed by `InputDefault` instead of having each OS abstraction doing it. (*)
The translation algorithm waits for a touch index to be pressed and tracks it translating its events to mouse events until it is raised, while ignoring other pointers.
Furthermore, to avoid an stuck "touch mouse", since not all platforms may report touches raised when the window is unfocused, it checks if touches are still down by the time it's focused again and if so it resets the state of the emulated mouse.
*: In the case of Windows, since it already provides touch-to-mouse translation by itself, "echo" mouse events are filtered out to have it working like the rest.
On X11 a little hack has been needed to avoid a case of a spurious mouse motion event that is generated during touch interaction.
Plus: Improve/fix tracking of current mouse position.
** Summary of changes to settings: **
- `display/window/handheld/emulate_touchscreen` becomes `input/pointing_devices/emulate_touch_from_mouse`
- New setting: `input/pointing_devices/emulate_mouse_from_touch`
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.
- Fixes some single-dash leftovers that were missed in the previous commit
- Reorder the help output for clarity, and document missing options
- Drop obsolete options: --noop, --pack, --editor-scene, --level, --import, --import-script, --no-quit
- Improve error message on malformed arguments and do not display help on error
- Always use long form of arguments when starting a new Godot process from C++, for clarity and easy grepping
- Cleanup obsolete code here and there

I can show you the code
Pretty, with proper whitespace
Tell me, coder, now when did
You last write readable code?
I can open your eyes
Make you see your bad indent
Force you to respect the style
The core devs agreed upon
A whole new world
A new fantastic code format
A de facto standard
With some sugar
Enforced with clang-format
A whole new world
A dazzling style we all dreamed of
And when we read it through
It's crystal clear
That now we're in a whole new world of code
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!
