As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
* 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!
To guarantee polymorphism, a method signature must be compatible with
the parent. This checks if:
1. Return type is the same.
2. The subclass method takes at least the same amount of parameters.
3. The matching parameters have the same type.
4. If the subclass takes more parameters, all of the extra ones have a
default value.
5. If the superclass has default values, so must have the subclass.
There's a few test cases to ensure this holds up.
This makes sure that assigning values to enum-typed variables are
consistent. Same enum is always valid, different enum is always
invalid (without casting) and assigning `int` creates a warning
if there is no casting.
There are new test cases to ensure this behavior doesn't break in
the future.
This ensures that annotations that rely on the datatype (such as
@export) can validated it timely, allowing compound expressions instead
of only literal values.
- Use `Array[type]` for type-hints. e.g.:
`var array: Array[int] = [1, 2, 3]`
- Array literals are typed if their storage is typed (variable
asssignment of as argument in function all). Otherwise they are
untyped.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
- Use the new functions in Variant to determine the validity and resulting
type of operators.
- Split the operator function in codegen between binary and unary, since
the unary ones have now a special requirement of having the second
argument to be the NIL type when requesting info.
Sometimes to fix something you have to break it first.
This get GDScript mostly working with the new tokenizer and parser but
a lot of things isn't working yet. It compiles and it's usable, and that
should be enough for now.
Don't worry: other huge commits will come after this.
