Added

Audio

Build system

Add production=yes option to set optimal options for production builds.
- Users making custom builds should use this option which is equivalent to use_lto=yes debug_symbols=no use_static_cpp=yes.
- Note for Linux builds: use_static_cpp=yes and udev=yes are now the default values, so you need libudev and libstdc++-static development packages to build in optimal conditions.
Add optimize=none to disable C/C++ compiler optimizations for release builds.
- This can be used to speed up compile times when working on the engine itself and when debug checks/features aren't desired.

Core

New dynamic BVH for rendering and the GodotPhysics backends.
- If you experience a regression in either physics or rendering, you can try these Project Settings to revert back to the previous Octree-based approach and possibly fix the issue. In either case, be sure to report the problem on GitHub.

- To keep the previous behavior, Allow Hidpi must be enabled in the Project Settings before exporting the project.
iOS: Plugin support, with a similar interface to Android plugins.

New METALLIC built-in for the light() function in the shader language.
- This is also exposed in the visual shader editor.
Add setting for shadow cubemap max size.

Changed

- This is done because applications must be signed to be run on macOS Big Sur, even for private use.
- Self-signed certificates work for private use, but they will be considered untrusted on other people's computers.
macOS: Add a Replace Existing Signature export option to fix signing on export with broken OSXCross ad-hoc linker signatures.
- This is enabled by default.
macOS: Improve Mono distribution in .app bundle to allow codesigning exported projects.

Transform's FLIP_Y and FLIP_Z constants now work as expected.
Fixed importing BMP images.
The positional command-line argument is now only considered to be a scene path if it ends with .scn, .tscn or .escn.
- This makes it possible to parse command-line arguments in a standard fashion (--foo bar now works, not just --foo=bar).
- This also makes it possible to use file associations or drag-and-drop and have the positional argument parsed by the project.
The --audio-driver and --video-driver command-line arguments are now validated; an error message will be printed if an invalid value is passed.
The --check-only command-line argument now returns a non-zero exit code if an invalid script is passed using --script.
Exporting a project via the command-line now returns a non-zero exit code if an error occurred during exporting.
Console output is no longer colored when standard output isn't a TTY.
- This prevents Godot from writing ANSI escape codes when redirecting standard output or standard error to a file.

Feature tags in the Project Settings, for custom per-platform settings.
Full support for the glTF 2.0 3D interchange format.
Freelook and fly navigation to the 3D editor.
Built-in editor logging (logging standard output to a file), disabled by default.
Improved, more intuitive file chooser in the editor.
Smoothed out 3D editor zooming, panning and movement.
Toggleable rendering information box in the 3D editor viewport.
- FPS display can also be enabled in the editor viewport.
Ability to render the 3D editor viewport at half resolution to achieve better performance.
GDNative for binding languages like C++ to Godot as dynamic libraries.
- Community bindings for D, Nim and Python are available.

Optional soft shadows for 2D rendering.
HDR sky support.
Ability to toggle V-Sync while the project is running.
Panorama sky support (sphere maps).
Support for WebM videos (VP8/VP9 with Vorbis/Opus).
Exporting to HTML5 using WebAssembly.
C# support using Mono.
- The Mono module is disabled by default, and needs to be compiled in at build-time.
- The latest Mono version (5.4) can be used, fully supporting C# 7.0.
Support for rasterizing SVG to images on-the-fly, using the nanosvg library.
- Editor icons are now in SVG format, making them better-looking at non-integer scales.
- Due to the library used, only simpler SVGs are well-supported, more complex SVGs may not render correctly.
Support for oversampling DynamicFonts, keeping them sharp when scaled to high resolutions.
Improved StyleBoxFlat.
- Border widths can now be set per-corner.
- Support for anti-aliased rounded and beveled corners.
- Support for soft drop shadows.
VeryLoDPI (75%) and MiDPI (150%) scaling modes for the editor.
Improved internationalization support for projects.
- Language changes are now effective without reloading the current scene.
Implemented missing features in the HTML5 platform.
- Cursor style changes.
- Cursor capturing and hiding.
Improved styling and presentation of HTML5 exports.
- A spinner is now displayed during loading.
Rewritten the 2D and 3D particle systems.
- Particles are now GPU-based, allowing their use in much higher quantities than before.
- Meshes can now be used as particles.
- Particles can now be emitted from a mesh's shape.
- Properties can now be modified over time using an editable curve.
- Custom particle shaders can now be used.
New editor theme, with customizable base color, highlight color and contrast.
- A light editor theme option is now available, with icons suited to light backgrounds.
- Alternative dark gray and Arc colors are available out of the box.
New adaptive text editor theme, adjusting automatically based on the editor colors.
Support for macOS trackpad gestures in the editor.
Exporting to macOS now creates a .dmg disk image if exporting from an editor running on macOS.
- Signing the macOS export now is possible if running macOS (requires a valid code signing certificate).
Exporting to Windows now changes the exported project's icon using rcedit (requires WINE if exporting from Linux or macOS).
Improved build system.
- Support for compiling using Visual Studio 2017.
- SCons 3.0 and Python 3 are now supported (SCons 2.5 and Python 2.7 still work).
- Link-time optimization can now be enabled by passing use_lto=yes to the SCons command line.
  - Produces faster and sometimes smaller binaries.
  - Currently only supported with GCC and MSVC.
- Added a progress percentage when compiling Godot.
- .zip archives are automatically created when compiling HTML5 export templates.
Easier and more powerful way to create editor plugins with EditorPlugin and related APIs.

Changed

Increased the default low-processor-usage mode FPS limit (60 → 125).
- This makes the editor smoother and more responsive.
Increased the default 3D editor camera's field of view (55 → 70).
Increased the default 3D Camera node's field of view (65 → 70).
Changed the default editor font (Droid Sans → Noto Sans).
Changed the default script editor font (Source Code Pro → Hack)
Renamed engine.cfg to project.godot.
- This allows users to open a project by double-clicking the file if Godot is associated to .godot files.
Some methods from the OS singleton were moved to the new Engine singleton.
Switched from GLEW to GLAD for OpenGL wrapping.
Changed the SCons build flag for simple logs (colored=yes → verbose=no).
The HTML5 platform now uses WebGL 2.0 (instead of 1.0).
Redesigned the Godot logo to be more legible at small sizes.

Deprecated

opacity and self_opacity are replaced by modulate and self_modulate in all 2D nodes, allowing for full color changes in addition to opacity changes.

Removed

Skybox support.
- Replaced with panorama skies, which are easier to import.
Opus audio codec support.
- This is due to the way the new audio engine is designed.
HTML5 export using asm.js.
- Only WebAssembly is supported now, since all browsers supporting WebGL 2.0 also support WebAssembly.
