* `_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.
* Added a new macro SNAME() that constructs and caches a local stringname.
* Subsequent usages use the cached version.
* Since these use a global static variable, a second refcounter of static usages need to be kept for cleanup time.
* Replaced all theme usages by this new macro.
* Replace all signal emission usages by this new macro.
* Replace all call_deferred usages by this new macro.
This is part of ongoing work to optimize GUI and the editor.
Updates rich_text_label so that the built-in documentation can be searched
Previously, it would only find the first result and would not select other results
Renames "_entered" functions to "_submitted"
There were some issues in RichTextLabel `remove_line()` method, where items were not correctly removed, and line decremending for items in later lines was not correctly done.
This also fixed several headaches with EditorLog, which relied on the `remove_line()` method for collapsing of duplicate messages. The fix to RTL also fixed the issues with EditorLog.
Fixes#49030
Added method to create a new line in RichTextLabel without adding an ItemNewline to the previous line. Previously, removing a line then adding a newline was adding unnecessary ItemNewline instances to the previous line, significantly the remove_line method.
This removes hardcoded actions from things like LineEdit and TextEdit.
Previously, things like copy, paste, etc were all hardcoded to Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, etc. They could not be changed. This allows the possibility of them being changed, by making them use the action map. This has the added benefit of greatly simplifying the input handling logic in those controls. The logic which was previously in a huge and hard to follow switch statement has been extracted to individual methods.
-For inspector refresh, the inspector now detects if a property change by polling a few times per second and then does update the control if so. This process is very cheap.
-For property list refresh, a new signal (property_list_changed) was added to Object. _change_notify() is replaced by notify_property_list_changed()
-Changed all objects using the old method to the signal, or just deleted the calls to _change_notify(<property>) since they are unnecesary now.
The RichTextLabel class is inconsistent in how it updates the
visible_characters and percent_visible properties when either is changed.
To keep both properties consistent, update percent_visible when setting the
visible_characters property.
For both properties, when setting one, notify change for the other.
Docs updated for member set_visible_characters on RichTextLabel class.
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 🎆
