This makes sure that running scenes in debug mode
(from the editor) does not crash Godot.
In export mode it should already work correctly, because
editor-only singletons are never registered in the first place.
Integer scaling is achieved (after aspect expansion) by "lying" to the
stretching code about the window's size, telling it that it's always an
integer multiple of the viewport so that it only gets stretched to an
integer factor.
This approach works with all stretch and aspect modes and doesn't
require handling for each, only requiring to "loosen up" some
self-excluding conditions (in other words, replacing some `else if`s
with just `if`s) regarding viewport offset and margin calculation (black
bars).
Includes a tiny usability change that adds a range hint for the content
scale factor between 0.5 to 8.0.

This makes it easy to retrieve the project version at runtime
for display purposes, while simplifying the export preset configuration.
You can now leave the version empty unless you need to override it on a per-preset
basis.
Since export presets save the values of default values to the `export_presets.cfg`
file, this change only affects export presets created after this commit was merged.
Move the benchmarking measuring methods from `Engine` to `OS` to allow for platform specific overrides (e.g: can be used to hook into platform specific benchmarking and tracing capabilities).
Instead of reading files over the network, the new version uses a local file cache and only updates files when it changes.
The original remote filesystem was created 14 years ago, when ethernet was faster than hard drives or even flash. Also, mobile devices have a very small amount of storage.
Nowadays, this is no longer the case so the approach is changed to using a persistent cache in the target device.

* Avoid "property not found" warnings when adding a file for the first
time.
* When no file is added, disable the Generate POT button instead of
printing a warning.
Default actions are no longer internal since we want to document them.
They are still hidden from the Project Setting dialog because we hid the
whole `input/` group manually.
* Overrides no longer happen for set/get.
* They must be checked with a new function: `ProjectSettings::get_setting_with_override()`.
* GLOBAL_DEF/GLOBAL_GET updated to use this
This change solves many problems:
* General confusion about getting the actual or overriden setting.
* Feature tags available after settings are loaded were being ignored, they are now considered.
* Hacks required for the Project Settings editor to work.
Fixes#64100. Fixes#64014. Fixes#61908.
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".
This project setting was only implemented and iOS and likely served
no purpose outside of debugging during development of engine features.
It was also located in a confusing location in the project settings
editor, as it was located below a root category (which appears in bold
and is normally not seen as clickable by users).
Instantiating a new ProjectSettings is *not* the way to go.
ConfigFile works just fine to read/change a single value.
Fixes memory leaks as the instantiated ProjectSettings was never freed.
Forbid doing this to prevent such problems.
Fixes#25661.
When using high physics FPS (which is a requirement to minimize input
lag and improve precision in simulation racing games), a higher value
prevents the game from slowing down at low rendering FPS.
This can be done via an Engine property for run-time changes,
or a project setting for initial changes.
This makes the setting easier to find, as research has found there are
numerous use cases to limiting FPS. This also improves documentation
related to the Engine property and project setting.
The project setting also works in projects exported in release mode,
so its location in the `debug/` section was misleading.
This eases transition from beta 1 to beta 2 so that users don't get a warning
about a missing feature. The names were just changed.
The old feature names are removed from project.godot when opening such a
project.
The `__ARM_ARCH_7A__` and `__ARM_ARCH_7S__` are not enough, since they
do not cover e.g. `__ARM_ARCH_8A__` in 32 bit mode, so instead of trying
to cover any possible ARM version that can work in 32 bit mode, we
can replace it with the `__arm__` macro which is defined for arm32 only
(arm64 uses `__aarch64__`).
This adds support for benchmarking engine startup (and editor startup if used).
The goal is to use this in the benchmarking server to track improvements and changes to engine, editor, importer and scene loading startup times.
The new default window size is tuned to:
- Have a 16:9 aspect ratio,
- Have both dimensions divisible by 8 to better play along with
video recording,
- Be displayable correctly in windowed mode on a 1366×768 display
(tested on Windows 10 with default settings).
This breaks compatibility with projects that didn't change the
window size from the default value (or that kept one of the values
to its default).
This quits the project when an animation is done playing in the
given AnimationPlayer, but only in Movie Maker mode.
When this happens, a message is printed with the absolute path of the
AnimationPlayer node that caused the engine to quit.
This can be used to create videos that stop at a specified time
without having to write any script.
A report is now also printed to the console when the video is done
recording (as long as the engine was exited properly).
This report is unfortunately not always visible in the editor's
Output panel, as it's printed too late.
A method was also added to get the path to the output file from the
scripting API.
* Allows running the game in "movie writer" mode.
* It ensures entirely stable framerate, so your run can be saved stable and with proper sound (which is impossible if your CPU/GPU can't sustain doing this in real-time).
* If disabling vsync, it can save movies faster than the game is run, but if you want to control the interaction it can get difficult.
* Implements a simple, default MJPEG writer.
This new features has two main use cases, which have high demand:
* Saving game videos in high quality and ensuring the frame rate is *completely* stable, always.
* Using Godot as a tool to make movies and animations (which is ideal if you want interaction, or creating them procedurally. No other software is as good for this).
**Note**: This feature **IS NOT** for capturing real-time footage. Use something like OBS, SimpleScreenRecorder or FRAPS to achieve that, as they do a much better job at intercepting the compositor than Godot can probably do using Vulkan or OpenGL natively. If your game runs near real-time when capturing, you can still use this feature but it will play no sound (sound will be saved directly).
Usage:
$ godot --write-movie movie.avi [scene_file.tscn]
Missing:
* Options for configuring video writing via GLOBAL_DEF
* UI Menu for launching with this mode from the editor.
* Add to list of command line options.
* Add a feature tag to override configurations when movie writing (fantastic for saving videos with highest quality settings).
This is done to prevent reducing texture quality when it doesn't save
much video memory, especially for pixel art.
The size threshold can be adjusted in the project settings.
To get the previous behavior where textures detected to be used in 3D
had their compression mode always set to VRAM, set this to the lowest value
(16).
