Currently, `auto_translate` property of a `MenuButton` or `OptionButton`
won't affect its popup menu. It's okay if you want to auto translate,
but requires extra setup if you don't.
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".
* MenuButton + OptionButton: Add method `show_popup()` which performs required popup setup before showing (prefer use of this over `get_popup()->popup()`, otherwise GH #66308 occurs)
* MenuButton: Ensure that the menu can be opened with a shortcut, if one is set for the button. (GH #66403). Ensure that popupmenu item shortcuts are checked first before the MenuButton shortcut.
This can be used to make editor code more compact.
However, as of writing, these constructor arguments cannot be used
from the scripting API.
This was already provided for Label and CheckBox, but it was missing
for other Control nodes where it made sense to provide a default value.
* `_gui_input`, `_input`, `_unhandled_input` and `_unhandled_key_input` are now regular C++ virutal functions.
* Everything else converted to GDVIRTUAL
* BIND_VMETHOD is gone, always use the new syntax from now on.
Creating `_gui_input` method and using the binder to register events will no longer work, simply override the virtual function now.
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 🎆
