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 🎆
- ClassDoc added to GDScript and property reflection data were extracted
from parse tree
- GDScript comments are collected from tokenizer for documentation and
applied to the ClassDoc by the GDScript compiler
- private docs were excluded (name with underscore prefix and doesn't
have any doc comments)
- default values (of non exported vars), arguments are extraced from the
parser
- Integrated with GDScript 2.0 and new enums were added.
- merge conflicts fixed
unhandled_key_input changed to unhandled_button_input. Controls can set a 'shortcut_context' which they can then use to determine if their shortcuts should be triggered or not, based on if the viewport's focused GUI control is a child of their 'shortcut context'.
See #43689.
Also 'fixed' some spelling for behavior in publicly visible strings.
(Sorry en_GB, en_CA, en_AU, and more... Silicon Valley won the tech spelling
war.)
* Using C-style function pointers now, InternalMethod is gone.
* This ensures much better performance in typed code.
* Renamed builtin_funcs to utility_funcs, to avoid naming confusion
The underscore prefix was used to avoid the conflict between the `RID` class
name and the matching enum value in `Variant::Type`.
This can be fixed differently by prefixing uses of the `RID` class in `Variant`
with the scope resolution operator, as done already for `AABB`.
-Discern between named, indexed and keyed
-Get direct access to functions for typed GDScript and GDNative bindings
-Small changes to some classes in order to work with the new setget binder
Unsaved scripts were previously displayed with blank tabs, which are
mostly a result of deleted or improperly moved scripts.
This patch makes sure that those kind of scripts are displayed as
"[unsaved]" now, and ensures that scripts are removed from the list
while deleting scripts from the filesystem dock preventing the unsaved
tabs to appear in the first place (a user is already prompted with
"no undo" warning while deleting any file).
A user is always prompted to save those "[unsaved]" scripts if they
attempt to close them without saving in any case except as described
above.
This change avoids the editor to freeze for several seconds when a
project with lots of scripts is loaded in the editor.
It focuses on a few heavy operations previously executed on all
previously loaded scripts:
- Initialize script resource (script validation/parsing) only
on focus
- ScriptTextEditor: code editor and edit menu are added to the
scene only on focus
- Add to recent scripts only when opening new scripts
(load/save scene metadata)
