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 🎆

Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
This allows setting the `read_chunk_size` of the internal HTTPClient.
This is important to reduce the allocation overhead and number of file
writes when downloading large files, allowing for better download speed.
HTTPRequest used to have its own `status` variable but it would never be
updated since the status of the client would be used instead.
This caused potential crashes in some edge cases.
The `status` variable is now removed, and the client status is used in
checks instead.
Before this change, missing User-Agent and Accept headers were automatically
added on all platforms. Setting the User-Agent header forces the browser to
do a CORS preflight (see 1) which fails if the HTTP endpoint is not
configured appropriate. It's not neccesary to set either header as the
browser sets them and so this commit disables that functionality on the JS
target.

The previous logic with VERSION_MKSTRING was a bit unwieldy, so there were
several places hardcoding their own variant of the version string, potentially
with bugs (e.g. forgetting the patch number when defined).
The new logic defines:
- VERSION_BRANCH, the main 'major.minor' version (e.g. 3.1)
- VERSION_NUMBER, which can be 'major.minor' or 'major.minor.patch',
depending on whether the latter is defined (e.g. 3.1.4)
- VERSION_FULL_CONFIG, which contains the version status (e.g. stable)
and the module-specific suffix (e.g. mono)
- VERSION_FULL_BUILD, same as above but with build/reference name
(e.g. official, custom_build, mageia, etc.)
Note: Slight change here, as the previous format had the build name
*before* the module-specific suffix; now it's after
- VERSION_FULL_NAME, same as before, so VERSION_FULL_BUILD prefixed
with "Godot v" for readability
Bugs fixed thanks to that:
- Export templates version matching now properly takes VERSION_PATCH
into account by relying on VERSION_FULL_CONFIG.
- ClassDB hash no longer takes the build name into account, but limits
itself to VERSION_FULL_CONFIG (build name is cosmetic, not relevant
for the API hash).
- Docs XML no longer hardcode the VERSION_STATUS, this was annoying.
- Small cleanup in Windows .rc file thanks to new macros.
Notable potentially breaking changes:
- PROPERTY_USAGE_NOEDITOR is now PROPERTY_USAGE_STORAGE | PROPERTY_USAGE_NETWORK, without PROPERTY_USAGE_INTERNAL
- Some properties were renamed, and sometimes even shadowed by new ones
- New getter methods (some virtual) were added
Using `misc/scripts/fix_headers.py` on all Godot files.
Some missing header guards were added, and the header inclusion order
was fixed in the Bullet module.
Fixes a bug where the VERSION_PATCH define is not yet in scope if
typedefs.h is included before version.h at compilation time.

I can show you the code
Pretty, with proper whitespace
Tell me, coder, now when did
You last write readable code?
I can open your eyes
Make you see your bad indent
Force you to respect the style
The core devs agreed upon
A whole new world
A new fantastic code format
A de facto standard
With some sugar
Enforced with clang-format
A whole new world
A dazzling style we all dreamed of
And when we read it through
It's crystal clear
That now we're in a whole new world of code
- TCP:
- `listen` bind to wildcard "*" -> dual stack socket
- `listen` bind to address -> socket from address type
- `connect` -> resolve using best protocol (UNSPEC), socket from address type
- UDP:
- `listen` bind to wildcard "*" -> dual stack socket
- `listen` bind to address -> socket from address type
- `put_packet`/`put_var` -> resolve using TYPE_ANY (UNSPEC), socket from address type
(to change socket type you must first call `close` it)
- C++ Nodes mostly do an internal process callback, so it does not conflict with users willing to use their own process callbacks
- callbacks such as _input, _process, _fixed_process _unhandled_input, _unhandled_key_input do not requiere calling a function to enable them. They are enabled automatically if found on the script.
That year should bring the long-awaited OpenGL ES 3.0 compatible renderer
with state-of-the-art rendering techniques tuned to work as low as middle
end handheld devices - without compromising with the possibilities given
for higher end desktop games of course. Great times ahead for the Godot
community and the gamers that will play our games!
-Made asset sharing support https
-Many fixes to HTTPRequest
-Added an asset installer dialog
-Visual cleanups to asset sharing tab
-Fixed some issues in ScrollContainer, hope it does not break things
-Asset sharing tab is not visible (hidden on purpose) for now.
