This makes the setting easier to find, as research has found there are
numerous use cases to limiting FPS. This also improves documentation
related to the Engine property and project setting.
The project setting also works in projects exported in release mode,
so its location in the `debug/` section was misleading.
This eases transition from beta 1 to beta 2 so that users don't get a warning
about a missing feature. The names were just changed.
The old feature names are removed from project.godot when opening such a
project.
The `__ARM_ARCH_7A__` and `__ARM_ARCH_7S__` are not enough, since they
do not cover e.g. `__ARM_ARCH_8A__` in 32 bit mode, so instead of trying
to cover any possible ARM version that can work in 32 bit mode, we
can replace it with the `__arm__` macro which is defined for arm32 only
(arm64 uses `__aarch64__`).
This adds support for benchmarking engine startup (and editor startup if used).
The goal is to use this in the benchmarking server to track improvements and changes to engine, editor, importer and scene loading startup times.
The new default window size is tuned to:
- Have a 16:9 aspect ratio,
- Have both dimensions divisible by 8 to better play along with
video recording,
- Be displayable correctly in windowed mode on a 1366×768 display
(tested on Windows 10 with default settings).
This breaks compatibility with projects that didn't change the
window size from the default value (or that kept one of the values
to its default).
This quits the project when an animation is done playing in the
given AnimationPlayer, but only in Movie Maker mode.
When this happens, a message is printed with the absolute path of the
AnimationPlayer node that caused the engine to quit.
This can be used to create videos that stop at a specified time
without having to write any script.
A report is now also printed to the console when the video is done
recording (as long as the engine was exited properly).
This report is unfortunately not always visible in the editor's
Output panel, as it's printed too late.
A method was also added to get the path to the output file from the
scripting API.
* Allows running the game in "movie writer" mode.
* It ensures entirely stable framerate, so your run can be saved stable and with proper sound (which is impossible if your CPU/GPU can't sustain doing this in real-time).
* If disabling vsync, it can save movies faster than the game is run, but if you want to control the interaction it can get difficult.
* Implements a simple, default MJPEG writer.
This new features has two main use cases, which have high demand:
* Saving game videos in high quality and ensuring the frame rate is *completely* stable, always.
* Using Godot as a tool to make movies and animations (which is ideal if you want interaction, or creating them procedurally. No other software is as good for this).
**Note**: This feature **IS NOT** for capturing real-time footage. Use something like OBS, SimpleScreenRecorder or FRAPS to achieve that, as they do a much better job at intercepting the compositor than Godot can probably do using Vulkan or OpenGL natively. If your game runs near real-time when capturing, you can still use this feature but it will play no sound (sound will be saved directly).
Usage:
$ godot --write-movie movie.avi [scene_file.tscn]
Missing:
* Options for configuring video writing via GLOBAL_DEF
* UI Menu for launching with this mode from the editor.
* Add to list of command line options.
* Add a feature tag to override configurations when movie writing (fantastic for saving videos with highest quality settings).
This is done to prevent reducing texture quality when it doesn't save
much video memory, especially for pixel art.
The size threshold can be adjusted in the project settings.
To get the previous behavior where textures detected to be used in 3D
had their compression mode always set to VRAM, set this to the lowest value
(16).
* Map is unnecessary and inefficient in almost every case.
* Replaced by the new HashMap.
* Renamed Map to RBMap and Set to RBSet for cases that still make sense
(order matters) but use is discouraged.
There were very few cases where replacing by HashMap was undesired because
keeping the key order was intended.
I tried to keep those (as RBMap) as much as possible, but might have missed
some. Review appreciated!
Adds a new, cleaned up, HashMap implementation.
* Uses Robin Hood Hashing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table#Robin_Hood_hashing).
* Keeps elements in a double linked list for simpler, ordered, iteration.
* Allows keeping iterators for later use in removal (Unlike Map<>, it does not do much
for performance vs keeping the key, but helps replace old code).
* Uses a more modern C++ iterator API, deprecates the old one.
* Supports custom allocator (in case there is a wish to use a paged one).
This class aims to unify all the associative template usage and replace it by this one:
* Map<> (whereas key order does not matter, which is 99% of cases)
* HashMap<>
* OrderedHashMap<>
* OAHashMap<>
Didn't commit all the changes where it wants to initialize a struct
with `{}`. Should be reviewed in a separate PR.
Option `IgnoreArrays` enabled for now to be conservative, can be
disabled to see if it proposes more useful changes.
Also fixed manually a handful of other missing initializations / moved
some from constructors.
`DirAccess *` needs to be deleted manually, and this is often forgotten
especially when doing early returns with `ERR_FAIL_COND`.
`DirAccessRef` is deleted automatically when it goes out of scope.

It has been disabled in `master` since one year (#45852) and our plan
is for Bullet, and possibly other thirdparty physics engines, to be
implemented via GDExtension so that they can be selected by the users
who need them.
Add localizable string (Dictionary<Lang Code, String>) property editor and property hint.
Add localized "app name" property to the project settings.
Add localized permission and copyright properties to the macOS and iOS export settings.
Remove some duplicated ("app name") and deprecated ("info") macOS and iOS export properties.
