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)
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.
The previous value (0) was a special case in the fog shader.
It made the shader use the Camera's `far` value as the fog depth end
value, which led to an inconsistency in the fog rendering between
the editor and a running project. This is because the editor camera
uses a `far` property of 500 by default, whereas the Camera node's
`far` property is set to 100 by default.
The new fixed value is equal to the default `far` property in Camera,
which leads to a consistent appearance between the editor and a running
project.
This closes#31686.
This makes height fog appear at the bottom of the scene
(instead of the top), which is generally the expected result.
This also tweaks the fog height setting hint to be more flexible.
This closes#30709.
This is a new singleton where camera sources such as webcams or cameras on a mobile phone can register themselves with the Server.
Other parts of Godot can interact with this to obtain images from the camera as textures.
This work includes additions to the Visual Server to use this functionality to present the camera image in the background. This is specifically targetted at AR applications.
This decreases the number of samples significantly, leading to a
notable performance increase with only a very slight loss in
visual quality.
This also tweaks the default SSAO settings to use 3×3 blurring,
which makes noise patterns much less visible.
This allows most demos to run without any ubsan or asan errors. There
are still some things in thirdpart/ and some things in AudioServer that
needs a look but this fixes a lot of issues. This should help debug less
obvious issues, hopefully.
This fixes#25217 and fixes#25218
This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.
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.
remove code that will never run
make definition and declaration names for parameters match
change floats that were being set to bool values
remove pointer that is never used
