4.0.0

Added

Core

• Bind RWLock, so it's accessible to scripts.
• Implemented a new ProcessGroup Node. It can be used to multithread scenes updates.
  It was insipred by godot 4's ProcessGroup system, however while Godot 4's implementation tries to hide threaded processing as much as possible, this implementation focuses on making it explicitly known and obvious to the user, in a (hopefully) almost bolierplate free way. Also with the available options this node can be used for other purposes, like multi threaded cron job like method calls when paired with a Timer in manual mode.
• Ported parts of: Refactor Node Processing * Node processing works on the concept of process groups. * A node group can be inherited, run on main thread, or a sub-thread. * Groups can be ordered. * Process priority is now present for physics. This is the first steps towards implementing godotengine/godot-proposals#6424. No threading or thread guards exist yet in most of the scene code other than Node. That will have to be added later. - reduz godotengine/godot@98c655e - Only got the smaller improvements, and the thread safety for Node and SceneTree. I'm planning to implement a similar system, but I have a different way of doing it in mind.

Modules

CSG

• Added back the csg module from godot.
• Ported the navigation geometry parsers for the csg module.
• Only build CSGGizmos when building the editor.
• Added back CSG support code I removed.

Web

• Implemented custom response headers for WebServerRequest.

GDNative

• Added back gdnative as a built in module. It was worked on in this repository: https://github.com/Relintai/gdnative .

Fixed

• Fix binding inconsistencies.
• Fix property bind inconsistency.
• Fix property binding hints.
• Fix property types. Auras have been merged into Spells a while ago.
• Fix some property names being the same as getters / setters.
• Fixed disrepancies between a few getter and setters.
• Bind missing enum values.
• Fix duplicate parameter names in binding.
• Fix the order of some default arguments in bindings.

Core

• Fix building with ptrcall on.
• Fix the return type of PoolVector::count().
• Added grow_by and to_rect2 helper method to Rect2i.
• Now Basis::get_uniform_scale() returns a real_t instead of a float.
• Mark the parameters of Basis::rotate_to_align as const ref.
• Apparently Basis::rotate_to_align had a bug. Ported the fix by lyuma from: godotengine/godot@6dfa6fc
• Fix error, also add linear_interpolate call for Vector4i to variant op.
• Fix small inconsistencies in Vector3/3i/4/4i apis.
• Also bind Vector3i set_all().
• Added set_all() to Vector3i.
• Made the parameter of snap and snapped in Vector3 const reference.
• Make the parameters of String's and PoolVector's join() const ref.
• Fix handling dots in String::is_numeric().

Platforms

Android Editor

• Implemented switching between the running game and the editor in the android editor.
• Fix debugging on the android editor.
• Added warning for the android editor that android will kill the game after a few seconds if it's opened in the same window as the editor and then it goes to the backgond. Should be still enough to see what's the issue of you don't intentionally debug break though.

Windows

• Update the variant types in the windows natvis file.

Modules

Skeleton3D

• Fixed SkeletonModification3DFABRIK.

FastNoise

• Fix the type of FastnoiseNoiseParams::get_fractal_octaves().

Entity Spell System

• Fix virtual method names in Entity.

GLTF

• Fix registering types in the gltf module.

Docs

• Re-extracted class docs.
• Fix godot4 syntax in docs.
• Add missing classes to the editor_code_editor module's class list.
• Fix lots of small issues with the docs.

Changed

Core

• Merged the functionality of BSInputEventKey to InputEventKey. This new setting can make input event keys act as if they are shortcut matched.

ThreadPool

• Removed _execute method bind from the NavigationMeshGenerator jobs.
• Don't print an error in ThreadPoolJob's _execute, as it's probably more intuitive this way.
• Don't bind _execute() method in ThreadPoolJob derived classes, as it's not needed anymore.
• Emit the completed signal automatically in ThreadPoolJob.
• Added virtual _execute to threadPoolJob.

Modules

Navigation

• Backported lots of improvements to the Navigation Servers from Godot 4. See the list in the Backports section.
• Renamed neighbor_dist properties / getters / setters for the navigation server.

MeshDataResource

• Use the new scaled grab radius in MDIGizmo.

Entity Spell System

• Move the enums from the top of spell.h into the Spell class.
• Added code to load old resource properties where applicable, to help converting resources to the new fixed apis. These will be removed after the next release.
• Renamed get_stat, and set_stat in Entity. It's just a smell c++ side helper method, they aren't bound. Should not require any changes like the rest.
• Fix Entity's api's inconsistencies.

Backports

• Backported everything up to and including godotengine/godot@43e181a Merge commit: godotengine/godot@ac5d7dc

Godot 3.x

• Single Compilation Unit build. Adds support for simple SCU build. This speeds up compilation by compiling multiple cpp files within a single translation unit. - lawnjelly godotengine/godot@43e181a
• Canvas item hierarchical culling Adds optional hierarchical culling to the 2D rendering (within VisualServer). Each canvas item maintains a bound in local space of the item itself and all child / grandchild items. This allows branches to be culled at once when they don't intersect a viewport. - lawnjelly godotengine/godot@b777a9e
• Revert "Add option in VisibilityEnabler2D to hide the parent for better performance"
  This reverts commit ad6e504.

• Input - fix just pressed and released with short presses Previously if an action was both pressed and released on the same tick or frame, is_action_just_pressed() would return false, resulting in missed input. This PR separately the timestamp for pressing and releasing so each can be tested independently. - lawnjelly godotengine/godot@63d208d
• Added missing descriptions to Input's class docs from godot.
• Update gamepad button/axis names to match 4.0

In addition this commit fixes touch detection for the collision_shape_2d_editor_plugin so it scales with the icons size. - m4gr3d godotengine/godot@b78935e
• Enable granular control of touchscreen related settings - m4gr3d godotengine/godot@61e41fa
• Augment the InputEvent class with a CANCELED state The InputEvent class currently supports the pressed and released states, which given the binary nature, is represented by a bool field. This commit introduced the CANCELED state, which signals that an ongoing input event has been canceled. To represent all the states, the InputEventState enum is added and the InputEvent logic is refactored accordingly. - m4gr3d godotengine/godot@94d6c3d
• Add setting to control the window used to run the project for the Android editor - m4gr3d godotengine/godot@b5a908c Removed my force launch adjacent solution in favor of this.

Godot4

• Support threads in the script debugger * This implementation adds threads on the side of the client (script debugger). * Some functions of the debugger are optimized. * The profile is also now thread safe using atomics. * The editor can switch between multiple threads when debugging. This PR adds threaded support for the script language debugger. Every thread has its own thread local data and it will connect to the debugger using multiple thread IDs. This means that, now, the editor can receive multiple threads entering debug mode at the same time. - reduz PR 76582 Will be available here after it's merged: godotengine/godot@6b17667
