I wanted to add this tool for years and always forget. This command line option:
```
$ godot.exe -e --debug-canvas-item-redraw
```
Allows to see when a canvas item is redrawn. This helps find out if something
in the UI is refreshing in a way it should not. Examples as such:
* Signals causing more of the UI to redraw.
* Container resizing causes more UI elements to redraw.
* Something using a timer is redrawing all time time, which can go unnoticed.
To my surprise, the editor UI is redrawing very efficiently. There is some
weird stuff with the scene tabs, redrawing when the inspector changes but most
things for the most part are fine.
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 is needed to allow 2D to fully make use of 3D effects (e.g. glow), and can be used to substantially improve quality of 2D rendering at the cost of performance
Additionally, the 2D rendering pipeline is done in linear space (we skip linear_to_srgb conversion in 3D tonemapping) so the entire Viewport can be kept linear.
This is necessary for proper HDR screen support in the future.
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.
This allows limiting framerate on any project, which is useful to
reduce power usage and latency with certain setups (such as VRR displays).
This is particularly useful in projects that do not expose a setting to change
the FPS limit. While external FPS limiters can be used, they can be cumbersome
to set up and result in increased input lag compared to a built-in FPS limiter.
We don't use that info for anything, and it generates unnecessary diffs
every time we bump the minor version (and CI failures if we forget to
sync some files from opt-in modules (mono, text_server_fb).
- Do not reload scripts from non-collectible assemblies
- Do not load GodotTools as collectible
- Do not attempt to reload the same project assembly forever
Previously if an action was both pressed and released on the same tick or frame, `is_action_just_pressed()` would return false, resulting in missed input.
This PR separately the timestamp for pressing and releasing so each can be tested independently.
Frame deltas are currently measured by querying the OS timer each frame. This is subject to random error. Frame delta smoothing instead filters the delta read from the OS by replacing it with the refresh rate delta wherever possible.
This PR also contains code to estimate the refresh rate based on the input deltas, without reading the refresh rate from the host OS.
The delta_smooth_enabled setting can also be modified at runtime through OS::, and there is also now a command line setting to override the project setting.
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.

Which allows editable data associated with a particular class instead of
the instance. Scripts with static variables are kept in memory
indefinitely unless the `@static_unload` annotation is used or the
`static_unload()` method is called on the GDScript.
If the custom function `_static_init()` exists it will be called when
the class is loaded, after the static variables are set.
Adds a check to make_rst to look for matches
between the text inside of the [code][/code] tag
and known param identifiers.
Fixes most of what was revealed.
* Functionality moved to a base class CallQueue, which will be used for inter-thread communication within the scene.
* MessageQueue now uses growing pages, starts from a single 4k page.
* Limit still exists, but because its not allocated by default, it can be much higher.
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.
- Adds a list of default levels for all warning so they can be set
individually.
- Add warnings set by default to error for:
- Using `get_node()` without `@onready`.
- Using `@onready` together with `@export`.
- Inferring a static type with a Variant value.

* Only two texture import modes for low/high quality now:
* S3TC/BPTC
* ETC2/ASTC
* Makes sense given this is the general preferred and most compatible combination in most platforms.
* Removed lossy_quality from VRAM texture compression options. It was unused everywhere.
* Added a new "high_quality" option to texture import. When enabled, it uses BPTC/ASTC (BC7/ASTC4x4) instead of S3TC/ETC2 (DXT1-5/ETC2,ETCA).
* Changed MacOS export settings so required texture formats depend on the architecture selected.
This solves the following problems:
* Makes it simpler to import textures as high quality, without having to worry about the specific format used.
* As the editor can now run on platforms such as web, Mac OS with Apple Silicion and Android, it should no longer be assumed that S3TC/BPTC is available by default for it.
This is using an adapted version of UAX#31 to not rely on the ICU
database (which isn't available in builds without TextServerAdvanced).
It allows most characters used in diverse scripts but not everything.
* Button shortcuts were treated as generic input events on buttons. This means that to activate a button shortcut you had to press and release.
* This logic is removed and now shortcuts always activate on press.
* This makes the editor feel more responsive and solves problems related to this behavior.
Fixes#45033 and possibly others.
* 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.
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).
This prevents the project setting from being located directly within
a root category, which is confusing from an UX perspective in the
project settings editor.
This happens too often with normal usage of the API.
The warning can still be useful to find actual bugs where discarding the return
value wasn't intentional, but this should stay enabled manually, at least until
we either improve the API to remove false positives, or improve the warning (e.g.
to only warn about unused return value on const functions).
Antialiasing cannot be adjusted on fonts rendered with MSDF.
Internally, Godot always uses grayscale antialiasing for those fonts.
This also tweaks property hints for consistency, and renames
uses of "sub-pixel" to the more commonly used "subpixel".
- Removed empty paragraphs in XML.
- Consistently use bold style for "Example:", on a new line.
- Fix usage of `[code]` when hyperlinks could be used (`[member]`, `[constant]`).
- Fix invalid usage of backticks for inline code in BBCode.
- Fix some American/British English spelling inconsistencies.
- Other minor fixes spotted along the way, including typo fixes with codespell.
- Don't specify `@GlobalScope` for `enum` and `constant`.
Refactors`ui_text_remove_secondary_carets` from https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/68089 as `ui_text_clear_carets_and_selection`, with extra behaviour:
- If there's only one active caret active with a selection, clears the selection.
- In case there's more than one caret active, removes the secondary carets and clears selections.
With this change, `TextEdit` then imitates the behaviour of VSCode for clearing carets and selections.
Adds the bind `ui_text_remove_secondary_carets` to TextEdit, with ESC as the default shortcut.
When the bind is performed, if the TextEdit has multiple carets, `remove_secondary_carets` is called and secondary carets are removed.
This is useful when multiple selects are performed with `add_select_for_next_occurrence` #67644 or when multiple multiple carets are manually added, then it's possible to go back to a single caret with a shortcut.
Closes#67991
This also adds a link to the Command line tutorial on pages
that reference command line arguments, as the page covers some
general usage tips for CLI arguments (especially on macOS).
Adds the bind `add_selection_for_next_occurrence` to TextEdit, with CTRL+D as the default shortcut.
When the bind is performed, ff a selection is currently active with the last caret in text fields, searches for the next occurrence of the selection, adds a caret and selects the next occurrence.
If no selection is currently active with the last caret in text fields, selects the word currently under the caret.
The action can be performed sequentially for all occurrences of the selection of the last caret and for all existing carets. The viewport is adjusted to the latest newly added caret.
The bind and the behaviour is similar to VS Code's "Add Selection to Next Find Match" and JetBrains' "Add Selection for Next Occurrence". It takes advantage of the multi-caret API.
The default shortcut for `select_word_under_caret` has been changed to ALT+G, in order to give priority to CTRL+D for `add_selection_for_next_occurrence` to better align with popular IDEs and editors.
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.
Mainly:
- Make `max_descriptors_per_pool` project setting Vulkan-specific.
- Use a common, render driver agnostic magic FourCC for shader binary data.
- Downgrade spirv_reflect to Vulkan-only dependency.
- Add a `RENDER_DRIVER_*` macro to GLSL shader code for per-driver customizations.
This removes the countless small UBO writes we had before
and replaces them with a single large write per render pass.
This results in much faster rendering on low-end devices
but improves speed on all devices.
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.
- Don't warn about minimized/maximized modes not being available.
- Blender and FBX export both depend on running thirdparty applications,
which can't be done (easily at least) for Web and Android editors.
- Editor theme complained about not being able to retrieve texture data
for an icon. It was only used once so instead of flipping at runtime,
let's just add a flipped icon.
Part of #65702.
This allows light sources to be specified in physical light units in addition to the regular energy multiplier. In order to avoid loss of precision at high values, brightness values are premultiplied by an exposure normalization value.
In support of Physical Light Units this PR also renames CameraEffects to CameraAttributes.
As announced in https://godotengine.org/article/godot-4-will-discontinue-visual-scripting,
Godot maintainers have agreed to discontinue the current implementation of
our VisualScript language.
The way it had been designed was not user-friendly enough and we did not
succeed in improving its usability to actually make it a good low-code
solution for users who need one.
So we prefer to remove it for Godot 4.0 and leave the door open for new,
innovative ideas around visual scripting, to be developed as plugins or
extensions now that Godot provides sufficient functionality for this
(notably via GDExtension and the godot-cpp C++ bindings).
The current module has been moved to a dedicated repository (with full Git
history extracted with `git filter-branch`):
https://github.com/godotengine/godot-visual-script
It can still be compiled as a C++ module (for now, but will likely require
work to be kept in sync with the engine repository), but our hope is that
contributors will port it to GDExtension (which is quite compatibile with
the existing C++ module code when using the godot-cpp C++ bindings).
We're targeting .NET 5 for now to make development easier while
.NET 6 is not yet released.
TEMPORARY REGRESSIONS
---------------------
Assembly unloading is not implemented yet. As such, many Godot
resources are leaked at exit. This will be re-implemented later
together with assembly hot-reloading.
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 provides a benefit similar to FSR 1.0 (greater texture sharpness
at the cost of some graininess at sub-native resolution scales), but
without the added performance cost of FSR 1.0.
This is consistent with the BaseMaterial3D filtering options.
It can be used for high-quality pixel art textures that remain sharp
when viewed at oblique angles, but prevents them from becoming grainy
thanks to mipmaps.
