We're targeting .NET 5 for now to make development easier while
.NET 6 is not yet released.
TEMPORARY REGRESSIONS
---------------------
Assembly unloading is not implemented yet. As such, many Godot
resources are leaked at exit. This will be re-implemented later
together with assembly hot-reloading.
If enabled, key/touch/joystick events will be flushed just before every idle and physics frame.
Enabling this can greatly improve the responsiveness to input, specially in devices that need to run multiple physics frames per each idle frame, because of not being powerful enough to run at the target frame rate.
This will only work for platforms using input buffering (regardless event accumulation). Currenly, only Android does so, but could be implemented for iOS in an upcoming PR.
- Back to 1-based layer names to make it clearer in editor UI
- Layer bit accessors are renamed to layer value and 1-based too
- Uniform errors and documentation in render and physics
- Fix a few remaining collision_layer used in place of collision_mask
The project setting wasn't being used anywhere.
This also tweaks the property hints to denote that these properties
are only effective after a restart.
* Only apply final actions to attachments used in the last pass.
* Fixes to draw list final action (was using continue instead of read/drop).
* Profiling regions inside draw lists now properly throw errors.
* Ability to enable gpu profile printing from project settings. (used to debug).
This makes it clearer that this property is only about physics FPS,
not rendering FPS.
The `physics_fps` project setting was also renamed to
`physics_ticks_per_second` for consistency.
- Now able to display up to 32 layers in physics (still 20 for render)
- Adjustable grid size to fit available space in dock
- Expansion icon to display more layers vertically
- Layer numbers in cells to help with selection
For the time being we don't support writing a description for those, preferring
having all details in the method's description.
Using self-closing tags saves half the lines, and prevents contributors from
thinking that they should write the argument or return documentation there.
* Shadow quality settings now specialization constant.
* Decal and light projector filters can be set.
* Changing those settings forces re-creation of the pipelines.
These changes should help improve performance related to shadow mapping, and allows improving performance by sacrificing decal and light projector quality.
Updates rich_text_label so that the built-in documentation can be searched
Previously, it would only find the first result and would not select other results
Renames "_entered" functions to "_submitted"
* Works from RenderinServer
* Accurately tells when on or off-scren, its no longer approximate.
* VisibilityEnabler also simplified to use the process mode instead.
* RingBuffer had no reason to be in this context
* A single buffer is used that can grow as much as the game needs.
This should make thread loading entirely reliable.
Physics FPS above 1000 cause the whole project to slow down
and are not very practical in the first place (since no CPU currently
available can keep up).
* GIProbe is now VoxelGI
* BakedLightmap is now LightmapGI
As godot adds more ways to provide GI (as an example, SDFGI in 4.0), the different techniques (which have different pros/cons) need to be properly named to avoid confusion.
* Shader compilation is now cached. Subsequent loads take less than a millisecond.
* Improved game, editor and project manager startup time.
* Editor uses .godot/shader_cache to store shaders.
* Game uses user://shader_cache
* Project manager uses $config_dir/shader_cache
* Options to tweak shader caching in project settings.
* Editor path configuration moved from EditorSettings to new class, EditorPaths, so it can be available early on (before shaders are compiled).
* Reworked ShaderCompilerRD to ensure deterministic shader code creation (else shader may change and cache will be invalidated).
* Added shader compression with SMOLV: https://github.com/aras-p/smol-v
- Tweak the setting property hint to be more informative.
- Make the setting a "basic" setting so it appears when Advanced Settings
is disabled.
- Remove redundant orientation setting in the iOS export preset.
The project setting is now used (like on Android).
Projects upgrading from a previous version will have to set the
screen orientation again in the Project Settings if it wasn't set
to the default value ("landscape").
This also acts as a general-purpose "deselect" shortcut since pressing
it a second time will deselect text.
This is available both in the script editor and in TextEdit fields
in use, both in the editor and projects.
The Duplicate Line script editor shortcut was moved to Ctrl + Shift + D
since it conflicts with the new shortcut (Ctrl + D). The rationale for
doing so is that Duplicate Line is a less commonly used action, and
its behavior can be replicated by copying and pasting the current line
anyway. (With no selection active, the whole line will be copied.)
Port lawnjelly's dynamic BVH implementation from 3.x to be used in
both 2D and 3D broadphases.
Removed alternative broadphase implementations which are not meant to be
used anymore since they are much slower.
Includes changes in Rect2, Vector2, Vector3 that help with the template
implementation of the dynamic BVH by uniformizing the interface between
2D and 3D math.

This can be used to tell Godot to run an executable that will run Godot
rather than running Godot directly. This is useful to make Godot start
on the dedicated GPU when using a NVIDIA Optimus setup on Linux:
`prime-run %command%`
The `editor/run/main_run_args` setting declaration was moved to make it
visible in the ProjectSettings documentation.
This can be used during unit test suite runs to hide error and warning
messages.
Care should be taken when using this feature, as it can hide important
information if used wrongly.
