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)
Initial work to make liniting easier.
This includes:
- Rename http_request.js to library_godot_http_request.js.
- Rename externs.js to engine.externs.js.
- New library_godot_runtime.js (GodotRuntime) wraps around emscripten
functions.
- Refactor of XMLHttpRequest handler in engine/preloader.js.
- Few fixes to bugs spotted by early stage linting.
The API is implemented in javascript, and generates C functions that can
be called from godot.
This allows much cleaner code replacing all `EM_ASM` calls in our C++
code with plain C function calls.
This also gets rid of few hacks and comes with few optimizations (e.g.
custom cursor shapes should be much faster now).
