Hash comparison for Variant continues to perform semantic/logical comparison with NaN's considered equal by default (to prevent #16114, #7354, #6947, #8081), but now optionally allows for numeric comparison that does not consider NaN's equal to support proper value comparison (for #72222)
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".
Clean up and do fixes to hash functions and newly introduced murmur3 hashes in #61934
* Clean up usage of murmur3
* Fixed usages of binary murmur3 on floats (this is invalid)
* Changed DJB2 to use xor (which seems to be better)
Arrays can be set as read-only and thus cannot be modified. Assigning
the array will create an editable copy.
Similar to is already done to read-only dictionaries.
The same is done for `Vector` (and thus `Packed*Array`).
`begin` and `end` can now take any value and will be clamped to
`[-size(), size()]`. Negative values are a shorthand for indexing the array
from the last element upward.
`end` is given a default `INT_MAX` value (which will be clamped to `size()`)
so that the `end` parameter can be omitted to go from `begin` to the max size
of the array.
This makes `slice` works similarly to numpy's and JavaScript's.
