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".
This reverts commit 4b817a565c.
Fixes#64988.
Fixes#64997.
This caused several regressions (#64988, #64997,
https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/64997#issuecomment-1229970605)
which point at a flaw in the current logic:
- `Control::NOTIFICATION_ENTER_TREE` triggers a *deferred* notification with
`NOTIFCATION_THEME_CHANGED` as introduced in #62845.
- Some classes use their `THEME_CHANGED` to cache theme items in
member variables (e.g. `style_normal`, etc.), and use those member
variables in `ENTER_TREE`, `READY`, `DRAW`, etc. Since the `THEME_CHANGE`
notification is now deferred, they end up accessing invalid state and this
can lead to not applying theme properly (e.g. for EditorHelp) or crashing
(e.g. for EditorLog or CodeEdit).
So we need to go back to the drawing board and see if `THEME_CHANGED` can be
called earlier so that the previous logic still works?
Or can we refactor all engine code to make sure that:
- `ENTER_TREE` and similar do not depend on theme properties cached in member
variables.
- Or `THEME_CHANGE` does trigger a general UI update to make sure that any
bad theme handling in `ENTER_TREE` and co. gets fixed when `THEME_CHANGE`
does arrive for the first time. But that means having a temporary invalid
(and possibly still crashing) state, and doing some computations twice
which might be heavy (e.g. `EditorHelp::_update_doc()`).
