This can be used to improve performance on low-end setups,
at the cost of shadows visibly lagging behind for dynamic lights/objects
when up close.
This option works best with lights that use Reverse Cull Face and a low
negative bias value.

The hash symbol creates spurious issue references on GitHub if
the message is posted outside a code block, which means some issues
have a lot more references than originally intended.
Async. compilation via ubershader is currently available in the scene and particles shaders only.
Bonus:
- Use `#if defined()` syntax for not true conditionals, so they don't unnecessarily take a bit in the version flagset.
- Remove unused `ENABLE_CLIP_ALPHA` from scene shader.
- Remove unused `PARTICLES_COPY` from the particles shader.
- Remove unused uniform related code.
- Shader language/compiler: use ordered hash maps for deterministic code generation (needed for caching).
- Locking nodes can now be done by pressing Ctrl + L, and unlocking with
Ctrl + Shift + L.
- Grouping nodes is now done by pressing Ctrl + G, and ungrouping with
Ctrl + Shift + G (similar to Inkscape).
- Toggling the grid is now done by pressing the `#` key
(also similar to Inkscape). This change was needed as Ctrl + G
now groups selected nodes.
Different shortcuts are used for the lock/unlock and group/ungroup
actions, so that the shortcuts are idempotent.
This makes the Linear and Cubic icons in particular easier to
distinguish from each other.
The Cubic interpolation icon's curve was also changed to be
more distinguishable from the Linear icon's curve.
For octahedral compressed normals/tangents, we use vec4 in the shader
regardless of whether a normal/tangent does/doesn't exist
For the case where we only have a normal vector, we need to specify that
there are only two components being used when calling glVertexAttrib
Before we would always specify that there were 4 components, and used
offsets to determine where in the vertex buffer to read data from but
this doesn't work on all platforms
After the decision to continue feature development for the `3.x` branch
alongside the `master` branch for Godot 4.0, we released 3.3-stable in
April 2021.
6 months and 2000 commits later, Godot 3.4 is another feature-packed milestone
for Godot 3, with a ton of improvements and fixes to make it a great option
for use in production while we wait for Godot 4.0!
A big thankyou to all contributors who work tirelessly on our two parallel
development branches and made this stable 3.4 release possible.
