|
||
|
||
- Renamed the `.shader` file extension to `.gdshader`.
|
||
- Existing text-based shader files will have to be renamed before loading the project in a new engine version.

|
||
### Removed
|
||
|
||
#### Buildsystem
|
||
|
||
- Removed the `server` platform in favor of disabling specific DisplayServers at build-time (e.g. `vulkan=no`).
|
||
|
||
#### Core
|
||
|
||
- Removed the YSort node in favor of the Node2D YSort property.
|
||
- Removed the deprecated `Color.gray()` method.
|
||
- Use `Color.v()` for a better grayscale approximation instead.
|
||
- Removed built-in HQ2X implementation (used for crude hiDPI support in the default project theme).
|
||
- This helps with binary size as HQ2X is made of particularly large functions.
|
||
|
||
#### Editor
|
||
|
||
- Removed the **Dim Dialog on Editor Popup** editor setting since it was made obsolete by the multi-window paradigm.
|
||
|
||
#### GUI
|
||
|
||
- [Removed the ToolButton node in favor of Button.](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/39690)
|
||
- Existing ToolButton nodes from Godot 3.x projects will be converted to Button nodes.
|
||
|
||
#### Input
|
||
|
||
- Removed the `DisplayServer.get_latin_keyboard_variant()` method (replaced by the more flexible `DisplayServer.keyboard_get_current_layout()`).
|
||
|
||
#### Networking
|
||
|
||
- Removed the deprecated `allow_object_decoding` property from PacketPeer.
|
||
- Removed the deprecated `sync` and `slave` high-level multiplayer keywords.
|
||
|
||
#### Export
|
||
|
||
- **iOS:** [Remove redundant orientation export setting in favor of the orientation project setting.](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/48939)
|
||
|
||
#### Physics
|
||
|
||
- Removed the deprecated PhysicsBody `friction` and `bounce` properties (replaced by PhysicsMaterial).
|
||
|
||
#### Rendering
|
||
|
||
- Removed OpenGL ES 2.0 renderer (replaced by the new mobile-oriented OpenGL 3 renderer).
|
||
- Vulkan, OpenGL 3.3, OpenGL ES 3.0 or WebGL 2.0 support is now required to run Godot.
|
||
- [Removed support for 16× MSAA due to driver bugs and low performance.](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/49063)
|
||
- For high-quality offline rendering, using supersampling together with 8× MSAA is a better option anyway.
|
||
|
||
### Fixed
|
||
|
||
#### Core
|
||
|
||
- The positional command line argument now considers `.res` and `.tres` files as runnable scene formats.
|
||
- This fixes Godot not running the main scene or a custom scene if they were saved with a `.res` or `.tres` extension.
|
||
- **macOS/Linux:** Fix the result of `Directory.get_space_left()`.
|
||
- **Windows:** Godot can now kill its own PID using `OS.kill()`.
|
||
|
||
#### Editor
|
||
|
||
- The Android exporter no longer reports progress on each file, greatly speeding up the exporting process.
|
||
- Searching with the Whole Words option enabled in the script editor is no longer exceedingly slow.
|
||
|
||
#### GUI
|
||
|
||
- Fixed OptionButton minimum size.
|
||
- TabContainer is no longer too large when tabs are hidden.
|
||
- ScrollBar now allows using `scroll_to_line()` when Scroll Active is disabled.
|
||
- DynamicFont outlines now have antialiasing disabled if it was disabled on the font itself.
|
||
|
||
#### Porting
|
||
|
||
- **Windows:** `OS.execute()` now only quotes command line arguments if they contain special characters.
|
||
|
||

|
||
- Tabs and space indentation can no longer be mixed in the same GDScript file.
|
||
- Each file must now use only tabs or spaces for indentation (not both).
|
||
- `assert()` in GDScript must now always be used with parentheses.

||
- `assert(true)` is still valid, but `assert true` isn't valid anymore.
|
||
- This is to account for the optional second parameter that defines a custom message.

- The "Trim" and "Normalize" WAV import options are now disabled by default.
|
||
- This makes the default behavior more consistent with Ogg import.
|
||
- Ogg samples now have an icon in the editor, like WAV samples.
|
||
- Camera2D drag margins are now disabled by default.
|
||
- If porting a project from Godot 3.1 where drag margins were used, these must be enabled manually again.
|
||
- The Camera2D Offset property now ignores the Limit property.
|
||
- To get the old behavior back, move the camera itself instead of changing the offset.
|
||
- `Camera.project_position()` now requires a second `depth` argument to determine the distance of the point from the camera.
|
||
- To get the old behavior back, pass the Camera's `near` property value as the second argument.
|
||
- `Skeleton.set_bone_global_pose()` was replaced by `Skeleton.set_bone_global_pose_override()`.
|
||
- UDP broadcasting is now disabled by default and must be enabled by calling `set_broadcast_enabled(true)` on the PacketPeerUDP instance.

- Lowered the default maximum directional shadow distance (200 → 100).
|
||
- This makes directional shadow rendering consistent between the editor and running project when using the default Camera node settings.
|
||
- Tweaked the default depth fog maximum distance to be independent of the Camera's `far` value (0..100).
|
||
- This makes fog display consistent between the editor and a running project.
|
||
- Tweaked the default height fog values to be more logical (0..100 → 10..0).
|
||
- This means height fog will be drawn from top-to-bottom, instead of being drawn from bottom-to-top.

|
||
- The default RichTextLabel color is now `#ffffff`, matching the default Label color for better consistency.
|
||

|
||
- For example, writing `2 + 2` in a SpinBox then pressing Enter will result in `4`.

|
||
- The number of signal connections and groups is now displayed in a tooltip when hovering the associated buttons in the scene tree dock.
|
||

|
||
- UTF-8 characters are now supported in input action names.
|
||
- All platforms now use the `custom_template` property in each export preset to store the path to the custom export template (instead of `custom_package` for some platforms).
|
||
- Tween methods' `trans_type` and `ease_type` arguments are now optional, defaulting to `TRANS_LINEAR` and `EASE_IN_OUT` respectively.
|
||
- `PCKPacker.pck_start()` and `PCKPacker.flush()`'s `alignment` and `verbose` arguments (respectively) are now optional, defaulting to `0` and `false`.

|
||
|
||
### Removed
|
||

|
||
- Rating icons in the Asset Library, as this feature isn't implemented in the backend.
|
||
- Some editor languages are no longer available due to missing support for RTL and text shaping in Godot:
|
||

|
||
- These languages will be re-added once Godot supports RTL and text shaping.
|
||
- **Android:** ARMv6 support.
|
||
- **iOS:** ARMv7 support.
|
||
- ARMv7 export templates can still be compiled from source to support the iPhone 5 and older.

|
||
- Textures compressed with ETC now support transparency by falling back to RGBA4444 or LA8.
|
||

|
||
- Audio trimming now has a small fade-out period, preventing audible pops.

|
||
- Declaring a class with `class_name` that has the same name as a singleton will now display a clearer error message.
|
||
- `script` is no longer allowed as a member variable name in GDScript, as that conflicts with the internal `script` property used by Object.
|
||
- Assigning a variable with a function index will no longer evaluate the function twice.
|
||
- For instance, doing `a[function()] += 1` will no longer evaluate `function()` twice.
|
||
- If the function has side effects, this may change the resulting program behavior.
|

|
||
- Fixed autocompletion in the script editor.
|
||
- The script editor can now autocomplete enum values.
|
||
- The script editor can now autocomplete node paths starting with `$"` or `$'`.
|
||
- Custom script editor templates can now use type hints.
|
||
- Shift operators with a number not between 0 and 63 (inclusive) will now result in a compile-time error in GDScript.

|
||
- Large rotation offset/snap values no longer appear to be cut off in the Configure Snap dialog.
|
||
- Documentation tooltips in the editor now wrap to multiple lines correctly.
|
||
- Locked 3D nodes are no longer selectable in the 3D viewport, matching the 2D editor's behavior.
|
||
- All 3D gizmos now notify changes correctly, which means the inspector now displays up-to-date properties after using them.
|
||
- The 3D manipulator gizmo's size is now capped at low viewport heights, preventing it from outgrowing the viewport's bounds.
|
||
- The editor filesystem now refreshes on file changes if the project is located on an exFAT filesystem.
|
||
- Fixed many cases of colors not changing correctly when switching the editor from a dark theme to a light theme (or vice versa) without restarting.
|
||
- The Show in File Manager context menu option now works with files marked as favorite.
|
||
- The random number generator's seed is now properly set up.
|
||
- Antialiased and rounded StyleBoxFlat corners now handle different border widths correctly.
|

- 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.

||
- **Android:** Gamepads are now correctly detected when the application starts.
|
||
- **Android:** Fix some keyboards being detected as gamepads and not working as a result.

|
||
- **HTML5:** `OS.get_system_time_msec()` now returns the correct value like on other platforms.
|
||
- **iOS:** On iOS 11 or later, gestures near screen edges are now handled by Godot instead of the OS.
|
||
- **Windows:** Line endings are now converted to CRLF when setting clipboard content.
|
||
- **Windows:** Getting the path to the Downloads directory using `OS.get_system_dir()` now works correctly.
|
||
- This fixes line endings being invisible when pasting into other applications.
|
||
- **macOS:** `OS.get_real_window_size()` and `OS.set_window_size()` are now handled correctly on hiDPI displays.
|
||
- **X11:** `OS.get_window_position()` now returns absolute coordinates.
|
||
- **X11:** Fixed audio playing on the wrong speakers when using PulseAudio on 5.1 setups.
|
