* 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
Since Embree v3.13.0 supports AARCH64, switch back to the
official repo instead of using Embree-aarch64.
`thirdparty/embree/patches/godot-changes.patch` should now contain
an accurate diff of the changes done to the library.
This makes font oversampling work out of the box, while also increasing
the supported character set's size. The default font is now larger
as well to better fit today's screen resolutions.
The OpenSans SemiBold font was chosen for two reasons:
- Small file size, yet its character set supports Latin-1 and Cyrillic
text.
- A heavier font weight looks better in most "game" scenarios and is
more readable against mixed-color backgrounds.
This is considered a breaking change as it changes the default font's
metrics, which will likely affect how Control nodes are laid out in
scenes (unless a custom font is in use).
Avoid unnecessary allocation of temporary buffers for each mip, and creates
only one Image with the compressed data.
Also renames variable and reorders code for clarity.
Clarify that squish is now only used for decompression.
Documented which formats can be decompressed in Image.
We do our own image loading, threading, and memory management in Godot already,
so the only components we need from etcpak (at least as of now) are the
`Compress*` methods defined in `ProcessDxtc.cpp` and `ProcessRGB.cpp`.
So we don't need to compile or vendor the rest.
- `etc` module was renamed to `etcpak` and modified to use the new library.
- PKM importer is removed in the process, it's obsolete.
- Old library `etc2comp` is removed.
- S3TC compression no longer done via `squish` (but decompression still is).
- Slight modifications to etcpak sources for MinGW compatibility,
to fix LLVM `-Wc++11-narrowing` errors, and to allow using vendored or
system libpng.

This is a tricky one, it used to work, but it was wrong, because in such
a scenario instead of passing NULL as required by the API, it would pass
a buffer containing the `\0` terminator.
This stopped working on a specific miniupnpc version, when they fixed
some network endianess issue on Windows, to which we made a workaround,
which in turn would probably result in failures when the interface is
specified.
This commit address the issue properly, by checking the specified
interface string size, and correctly passing NULL instead of the empty
string when necessary.
Also reverts the commit that introduced the bogus workaround:
e85330231c
One of those PR when the explaination is much longer then code changes
:).
Also include public domain assets in `COPYRIGHT.txt` with Unlicence text or
dual-licensing scheme.
And document commit hashes for most thirdparty code in `thirdparty/README.md`
for clarity, and in case there's no tag matching the included version numbers.
Updated glslang and Vulkan headers/loader following the instructions found in thirdparty/README.
glslang was updated to the 'known good' matching Vulkan SDK version 1.2.162.0. Vulkan headers and loader were updated to the commit tagged with sdk-1.2.162.0.
'vk_mem_alloc.h' and 'vk_mem_alloc.c' are unchanged since there hasn't been a new tagged release since 2.3.0.
Here's the Vulkan release notes for this update:
https://vulkan.lunarg.com/doc/sdk/1.2.162.0/windows/release_notes.html
Reverted and removed the unnecessary fix-mingw-snprintf patch for glslang as well as the mention of it in thirdparty/README.md.
-Happens on import by default for all models
-Just works (tm)
-Biasing can be later adjusted per node or per viewport (as well as globally)
-Disabled AABB.get_support test because its broken
-Reworked how meshes are treated by importer by using EditorSceneImporterMesh and EditorSceneImporterMeshNode. Instead of Mesh and MeshInstance, this allows more efficient processing of meshes before they are actually registered in the RenderingServer.
-Integrated MeshOptimizer
-Reworked internals of SurfaceTool to use arrays, making it more performant and easy to run optimizatons on.
