GPUParticles' Inherit Velocity property used to act strangely
if the physics tick rate was lower than the rendered FPS, as velocity
was tracked in the process and not in the physics process. This
means that on certain rendered frames, the velocity was effectively
0 since there was no movement since the last rendered frame.
ShaderMaterial is the "advanced" option, while the "basic" options
should be listed first for easier accessibility (and because they're
generally used more often).
This makes sky and particle materials consistent with
canvas/spatial/fog materials on this aspect.
Fix for https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/75218
Pause notifications are not sent when a node is added as a child. So GPUParticles2D should also obey its can_process status on ENTER_TREE, not just PAUSED/UNPAUSED.
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 includes collision (2D SDF, Box, Sphere, Heightmap),
attraction (Box, Sphere), and all sorting modes.
This does not include 3D SDF collisions, trails, or
manual emission.
The property already has a "seconds" suffix in the inspector.
The "lifetime" term makes it more obvious that the property is
specified as time, not a distance in units.
The property hint now allows manually entering values greater than
10 seconds.
The internal rendering value's default now matches the particles
nodes' default.
Particles won't move or rotate anymore with the node (or its parents)
by default. This new default behavior is generally more suited
to most use cases. Local coordinates can still be enabled on a per-node basis.
This affects both 2D and 3D particles, and both CPU and GPU-based particles.
