Key, touch and joystick events will be passed directly from the UI thread to Godot, so they can benefit from agile input flushing.
As another consequence of this new way of passing events, less Java object are created at runtime (`Runnable`), which is good since the garbage collector needs to run less.
`AndroidInputHandler` is introduced to have a smaller cross-thread surface. `main_loop_request_go_back()` is removed in favor just inline calling `send_window_event()` at the most caller's convenience (i.e., leveraging the new `p_deferred`` parameter as appropriate).
Lastly, `get_mouse_position()` and `get_mouse_button_state()` now just call through `Input` to avoid the need of sync of mouse data tracked on the UI thread.
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 🎆
Depending on the device implementation, editor actions could be
received with different action ids or not at all for multi-line.
Added a parameter to virtual keyboards to properly handle single-line
and multi-line cases in all situations.
Single-line:
Input type set to text without multiline to make sure actions are sent.
IME options are set to DONE action to force action id consistency.
Multi-line:
Input type set to text and multiline to make sure enter triggers new lines.
Actions are disabled by the multiline flag, so '\n' characters are
handled in text changed callbacks.
Which means that reduz' beloved style which we all became used to
will now be changed automatically to remove the first empty line.
This makes us lean closer to 1TBS (the one true brace style) instead
of hybridating it with some Allman-inspired spacing.
There's still the case of braces around single-statement blocks that
needs to be addressed (but clang-format can't help with that, but
clang-tidy may if we agree about it).
Part of #33027.
