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".
Backported from #70885.
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 🎆

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.
Previously it was only possible to create custom script templates per
editor instance which could lead to certain name collisions, but now one
can create such templates per project tailored for specific use cases.
The default path to search for custom script templates is defined in
project settings via `editor/script_templates_search_path` setting as
`res://script_templates` path, yet this can be configured per project.
Templates have at most two origins now:
1. Project-specific, defined in `ProjectSettings`, for instance:
- res://script_templates/
2. Editor script templates, for instance:
- %APPDATA%/Godot/script_templates/
As script templates can have the same name over different paths,
the override mechanism was also added, enabling project-specific
templates over the editor ones.
- Correctly validate parent/class names
- Trigger parent validation when selecting from buttons
- Fix enabling/disabling parent buttons
- Clear class name if not supported
- Minor cleanup
