* Deprecates GDNative in favor of a simpler, lower level interface.
* New extension system allows registering core engine classes.
* Simple header interface in gdnative_interace.h
- Added new_copy to all types, since trivial copy won't work for all
types.
- Added functions to convert from String to char array types, which is
not provided by the methods bound in Variant.
- Added operator index to String.
- Added missing cstring version of some Variant functions. They existed
in the header but didn't have the implementation and were missing from
the gdnative_api.json file.
- Added support for static calls on Variant types.
- Moved Variant struct definition to its own file so it can be used
without include cycles (like on Dictionary).
- Add `index` operator function so bindings like C++ can implement the
operator[] overload (which needs a reference to the actual value).
- Added missing new/destroy functions to Vector3i array.
- Added print error/warning functions as helpers so bindings can print
messages in the same manner as Godot itself does.
This API now uses the discovery functions present in Variant instead of
wrapping every built-in function. Users now need to query for function
pointers and use those.
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 🎆
Those are standard types in C++ but not in C.
This also removes the wchar header which is not needed anymore and use
stddef.h instead (which is needed for size_t).
Returning the most contrasting color isn't a trivial task, as there
are often many possible choices. It's usually best left for the user
to implement using a script.
This reverts commit ec7b481170.
This was wrong, `d` is not a distance but the `d` constant in the
parametric equation `ax + by + cz = d` describing the plane.
- Renames PackedIntArray to PackedInt32Array.
- Renames PackedFloatArray to PackedFloat32Array.
- Adds PackedInt64Array and PackedFloat64Array.
- Renames Variant::REAL to Variant::FLOAT for consistency.
Packed arrays are for storing large amount of data and creating stuff like
meshes, buffers. textures, etc. Forcing them to be 64 is a huge waste of
memory. That said, many users requested the ability to have 64 bits packed
arrays for their games, so this is just an optional added type.
For Variant, the float datatype is always 64 bits, and exposed as `float`.
We still have `real_t` which is the datatype that can change from 32 to 64
bits depending on a compile flag (not entirely working right now, but that's
the idea). It affects math related datatypes and code only.
Neither Variant nor PackedArray make use of real_t, which is only intended
for math precision, so the term is removed from there to keep only float.
Issues caused by cf8c679a23.
The Mono change is actually a bugfix (used the int instead of ObjectID
by mistake).
The GDNative change is a temporary revert until a more exhaustive approach
is taken to make 'godot_int' 64-bit, is confirmed wanted by GDNative users.
This function is available to GDScript but not to GDNative. When exposed, it
allows building more ergonomic safe abstractions over the GDNative APIs, and
covers the use cases of the original PR.
Close#28478. Supersedes #28791.

Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
