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".
The Godot API (gdnative_interface.h) allows methods to be registered on
extension classes with
`classdb_register_extension_class_method`
a `GDNativeExtensionClassMethodInfo` can be provided to this function
along with a `get_argument_info_func` which according to the comment
indicates that argument names should be definable here.
Unfortunately, setting the name field in the `GDNativePropertyInfo`
struct has no effect on the editor documentation, which continues to
display "_unnamed_arg" for each argument.
I discovered that `get_argument_info` is responsible for this as it
always overrides the `info.name`. I've added an if condition that will
only override the name when it is empty. I've tested this with my
GDExtension module and I can confirm that with this commit, the argument
name shows up in the builtin docs. eg. in Lookup Symbol.
Clean up and do fixes to hash functions and newly introduced murmur3 hashes in #61934
* Clean up usage of murmur3
* Fixed usages of binary murmur3 on floats (this is invalid)
* Changed DJB2 to use xor (which seems to be better)
* Based on the work done for Variant in the past.
* Added `ClassDB::bind_static_method`
* Cleaned up ClassDB::bind_method to use variadic templates.
This adds support for having static methods in Object derived classes.
Note that this does not make it work yet in GDScript or Mono and, while it works for GDExtension, GodotCPP needs to be updated.
* Deprecates GDNative in favor of a simpler, lower level interface.
* New extension system allows registering core engine classes.
* Simple header interface in gdnative_interace.h
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 🎆
