5.0.0

Highlights

• Added new Variant types: TypedArray and PackedTypedArray.
• Backported all improvements from Terraman to Voxelman.
• Improvements to both Voxelman and Terraman.
• Finished docs for Voxelman.
• Added a new scripting language: PScript, with a c-like syntax.
• Threading related classes now use the platform apis directly.

Breaking Changes

• SafeNumeric has been split to SafeNumeric and SafePointer. This might result in a break on the c++ side for engine modules.
• Renamed DEFAULT_CHANNEL_ALT_TYPE to DEFAULT_CHANNEL_LIQUID_TYPE and DEFAULT_CHANNEL_ALT_ISOLEVEL to DEFAULT_CHANNEL_LIQUID_ISOLEVEL in voxelman.
• Backport bd476c1 to voxelman.
  Split _create_chunk() to _create_chunk() and _setup_chunk() in
  TerrainWorld.
  • Unfortunately this is a breaking change. (Very slight though.)
    Now _create_chunk() should be used to initialize serialized properties
    in chunks. The new _setup_chunk() virtual should be used to initialize
    other non/serialized properties (like meshers).
    Fortunately the only thing that needs to be done is to split old
    _create_chunk() into two.
  • Note that when using procedural generation, the old way should just work
    without any updates necessary. This change is only needed when loading
    of chunks is desired.

Core

• Added new Variant types: TypedArray and PackedTypedArray.
• Added missing constructor for Rect2I.
• Bound 2 constuctors for Projection.
• Add approximate deep equals support for TypedArray and PackedTypedArray.
• Added missing types to Variant::deep_equal().
• Remove duplicate label.
• Split deep_equal() into deep_equal() and deep_equal_approx().
• Add deep_equal_approx to gdscript.
• Docs for deep_equal_approx.
• Rename some of the binary magic headers.
  The old ones are still loaded for backwards compatibility.
• Don't use IP::ResolverStatus as a SafeNumeric parameter.
• Now ObjectRC and Object use SafePointers and SafeNumerics instead of std::atomic.
• Now ThreadWorkPool uses SafeFlag and SafeNumeric instead of std::atomic.
• Get rid of stl in SafeList. Note that SafeList is not used anywhere, so it might still have issues.

Threads

• Collect old threading primitive implementations to a temp folder.
• Copy the current thread implementations under drivers.
• Now the X11 platform uses pthreads directly.
  • Everything is snappier now... This is ridiculous.
  • For reference the character on the Broken Seals menu appears instantly
    now, instead of in about a second.
• Also set pthread priority.
• Added the pthread implementation as platform thread overrides to all flatforms that can use it unmodified.
  • A better system will be needed for this eventually.
• Override thread implementation for android aswell.
• Setup native threads for windows aswell.
• Fix missing return value.
• pthread_setschedprio doesn't exists on osx.
• Fix Windows thread's global static callback method trying to access Thread's private members.
• Fix trying to return undeclared identifier.
• iOS doesn't have pthread_setschedprio either.
• Disable temporarily the pthread_setschedparam calls.
• Init _main_thread_id to 0 everywhere.
• Add platform thread override to the javascript platform aswell.
• Make the default thread implementation in core the dummy one.
• Move thread_posix.h and cpp.
• Now platform_threads.h are used whwnewer NO_THREADS is defined. Removed PLATFORM_THREAD_OVERRIDE.
• Use native mutex apis directly.
• Fix missing memnew declaration.
• Move includes in mutex.h.
• Cast before deleting for good measure.
• Remove unnecessary always inlines.
• Add missing include.
• Use c style numeric limits.
• Use native rw lock apis directly.
• Fix variable name.
• Cast before deletion.
• Use native semaphores.
• Tweaks.
• Use dispatch_semaphore for osx.
• Also use dispatch semaphore on ios.
• Reimplement atomics using old gcc builtins.
• Now SpinLock uses SafeFlag.
• MSVC atomics initial setup.
• No need for the float SafeNumeric template specialization now.
• Atomics for MSVC.
• Add new method to dummy SafeFlag.
• Added a SafePointer type to SafeRefcount. Renamed the Windows template specialization to it.
• Use InterlockedExchangeAdd everywhere instead of InterlockedAdd on Windows.
• Added proper atomic loads and stores.
• Fix compare exchange logic and also small tweaks.
• Rework the gcc version of SafeFlag to use uint8_t.
• Use set() in atomic variable constructors again.
• Use getters instead of casting to volatile in Safe Refcount. Also initialize flag to 0 in SafeFlag.
• Mark all MutexLocks as NO_DISCARD_CLASS.

Editor

• Change GDScript text to just Script in ProjectExportDialog.
• Added a default language and default name casing dropdown to the create project dialog. If changed, they remember state.
• Tweak the renderer texts in the create project dialog.
• Rename SCENE_NAME_CASING_AUTO to SCENE_NAME_CASING_KEEP so it's name better matches what it does.
• Store global script class icon keys as Strings, instead of StringNames in the ProjectSettings.
  This fixes their order changing constantly in the project.pandemonium file.

Servers

• Fix multi threaded rendering.

Scene

• Remove SafeNumeric<float>-s from AudioStreamPlayers.
  • The way they are used it's unnecessary. If they have race conditions
    they will need mutexes.
  • Restored them to be volatile as they were before the atomic rework
    just in case.

  Relintai/terraman@01721b9
• Backport "Chunk's mesh_data_resource_add expects a local transform." from original terraman.

4.9.0

Highlights

• Added RWReference and RWResource classes.
  It's a Reference and Resource class that contains an RWLock.
• Implement code completion for gdscript enums.
• Backported the CameraServer from godot 4. Changes:
  • It's 2 modules: camera_server, camera_drivers.
  • It uses Image-s instead of textures in the rendering server.
  • Other api cleanups.

Breaking Changes

• Removed to_json() member methods instead of deprecating them.
  • This is because gdscript has the built-in to_json method. So to_json()
    member methods cannot really be created. (They technically can be done,
    but then the global to_json() cannot be called.).
  • Only 3 classes are affected (TOTP, User, HTTPSession).
  • Also these methods were likely never used, other than from the c++
    side.
  • If they were, a project wide search and replaces should fix all
    issues: .to_json() -> .as_json()

Core

• Added RWReference and RWResource classes.
  It's a Reference and Resource class that contains an RWLock.
• Added missing conversions for can_convert.
• Handle StringNames in Expression's funcrefs.

Editor

• Fix editor theme names.
• Added back Godot 3 theme.
• Cleanups to create_editor_theme().
• Rename GODOT_LICENSE_TEXT constant to PANDEMONIUM_LICENSE_TEXT.
• Update docs for Engine's get_author_info().
• Fix the encoding of Engine::get_license_text().
• Respect the scene name casing setting in the script create dialog.
  Maybe this setting could be renamed eventually.

Modules

User

• Now User and UserModule inherits from RWResource.

GDscript

• Implement code completion for gdscript enums.

Platforms

Javascript

• Disallow audio driver muting on emscripten.
• Remove remaining (now unneeded) emscripten related ifndef-s from AusioServer.

Other

• Removed to_json() member methods instead of deprecating them.
  • This is because gdscript has the built-in to_json method. So to_json()
    member methods cannot really be created. (They technically can be done,
    but then the global to_json() cannot be called.).
  • Only 3 classes are affected (TOTP, User, HTTPSession).
  • Also these methods were likely never used, other than from the c++
    side.
  • If they were, a project wide search and replaces should fix all
    issues: .to_json() -> .as_json()
• Added more comments to the sample module_config.py.
• Added rt shorthand for the project setups scripts for the repository_type command.
• Define slim_args_editor in the sample module_config.py, and use that to fill slim_args instead of the other way around.
  It's more convenient this way, as a slim editor build will usually need
  more modules to be enabled.
• Update the sample module_config.py module list.
• Update the http server module list workflow.
• Update the http server's build container module list.

• Deprecated voxel_name property in TerrainSurface. Added surface_name instead.

Breaking Changes

Terraman

• Renamed voxel_structure* getters and setters to terrain_structure*.
  • It's a straight rename because I'm pretty sure there weren't in use by
    anyone ever.
• Rename apply_voxel_scale parameters to apply_terrain_scale in TerrainChunk.
• Renamed voxel_structure* getters and setters to terrain_structure* in TerrainChunk.

    Vector2s (real-s), so this seems to be the best solution.
• Doc for the new get_sizei method in Image.

OS

• Added compare exchange weak and strong to SafeNumeric.

Loaders

• Fix ResourceFormatBinary being unable to load internal resources properly.

Scene

Platforms

Android

• Updated android version numbers.
  • Starting August 31 2025: New apps and app updates must target Android
    15 (API level 35) or higher to be submitted to Google Play;
    https://developer.android.com/google/play/requirements/target-sdk
  • Starting November 1st, 2025, all new apps and updates to existing apps
    submitted to Google Play and targeting Android 15+ devices must support
    16 KB page sizes. AGP was updated to the minimum required version to be
    able to do this.
    (https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/page-sizes#update-packaging)
  • Unfortunately the minimum sdk version had to be bumped from 19 to 21,
    there isn't seem to be a simple way to keep being on minimum api level
    19. The simplest way would probably be to add an old android platform,
    but for now more thinking is needed.
• Fix gradle warning.
  Configuring project ':assetPacks' without an existing directory is
  deprecated. The configured projectDirectory
  '.../android/java/assetPacks' does not exist, can't be written to or is
  not a directory. This behavior has been deprecated. This will fail with
  an error in Gradle 9.0. Make sure the project directory exists and can
  be written. Consult the upgrading guide for further information:
  https://docs.gradle.org/8.11.1/userguide/upgrading_version_8.html#deprecated_missing_project_directory
• Added 16kb padding to .so files when packing them to apks in android.
  Original idea is from godot 3.x, which is a backport from godot 4.x
  godotengine/godot@3c64599
  I'm not sure whether this is needed or not, as I don't have new android
  hardware.
  Also the original code was very suspect so I reimplemented it
  differently.

Other

• Cleanups to the Documentation and demos section in the readme.
• Added some long term plans to the readme.
• Update the sample app side module config, so it has all modules. Also added some comments to it.
• Update android versions in the build container.
• Disable werror for the android workflows, as the slCreateEngine() method got deprecated.

Backports

• Backported everything up to and including godotengine/godot@62e7304
  merge commit: godotengine/godot@5aed565

Godot3

• FTI - Change SceneTree global setting to static
  Also fixup FTI configuration warnings so that they only output when...

4.7.0

Highlights:

• Added a new "Merge Back Changes" and "Merge Back Local Changes" tool when right clicking instanced scenes in the editor.
  When working with instanced scenes, these can be used to save changes back to the original scene file.
  The "Merge Back Local Changes" tool skips saving transforms.
• Created a new TOTP module. TOTP stands for Timed One Time Password.
• Full and improved docs for the entire fastnoise module.
• Full and improved docs for the entire lz4 module.
• Full and improved docs for the entire web module.
• Full and improved docs for the entire database and database_sqlite modules.
• Full and improved docs for the entire entity_spell_system module.
• Full and improved docs for the entire user module.
• Updated all links in the in-editor docs.
• Heavy iprovementst FileCache.
• Heavy iprovements to the users module.
• Added an editor gizmo plugin for TiledWalls and PropInstances so they can be selected in the spatial editor directly.
• TerrainWorld now has built-in support for loading and saving TerrainWorld chunks dynamically to and from disk.
• Added spawners (with editor and prop support) for the entity spell system: ESSEntityWorldSpawner3D, ESSEntityWorldSpawner3DSingle, ESSEntityWorldSpawner2D, ESSEntityWorldSpawner3DArea.
• Added GDNative + Threads build to the release.

Breaking changes:

• Split _create_chunk() to _create_chunk() and _setup_chunk() in TerrainWorld.
  Unfortunately this is a breaking change. (Very slight though.)
  Now _create_chunk() should be used to initialize serialized properties
  in chunks. The new _setup_chunk() virtual should be used to initialize
  other non/serialized properties (like meshers).
  Fortunately the only thing that needs to be done is to split old
  _create_chunk() into two.
  Note that when using procedural generation, the old way should just work
  without any updates necessary. This change is only needed when loading
  of chunks is desired.

c++ only:

• Now get_all_as_vector() in UserManager is not virtual anymore. Also removed other implementations.
  • This had to be done as get_all_as_vector() cannot be customized by
    scripts, and if an inherited UserManager needs to set up UserModules
    this will cause issues later down the line.
  • Other solutions like a user_setup() method could also work, but then
    that would cause more individual (non-optimizable) lookups to db-based
    backends (and likely others too), so this solution seems to be the best
    currently.

Core

• Use SpinLock in GLOBAL_CACHED. Inspired by godotengine/godot@187e14b
• Update copyright information in main.

Editor

• The "Access as Unique Name" tool option in SceneTreeDock now always have a separator.
• Move EditorPropertyRevert to it's own file.
• Added a new Merge Back Local Changes too when right clicking instanced scenes in the editor.
• Better implementation for the new "Merge Back Local Changes" tool.
• New alternate version of the "Merge Back Local Changes" tool which keeps transforms intact.
• Renamed the "Merge Back Local Changes" tool in the SceneTreeDock popup menu to "Merge Back Changes".
• Update links in the docs.
• Handle proxy classes properly in arguments and return values in EidtorDocs.
• Remove stray rset and rpc mode variables from gdnative.
• Removed stray rset_mode and multiplayer keywords from the docs.
• Removed more stray old multiplayer keywords from the docs.
• Fix the web editor hanging when switching to the editor. Likely fixes export templates too.

Scenes

• Fix crash in TextMesh.

Modules

• Removed unused include.
• Removed unnecessary overloads from QueryBuilder.
• Removed unused include.

• Use HashMap in FileCache instead of an RBMap.
• Do proper cleanup in FileCache destructor.
• Added clear_expired() helper method to FileCache.
• Tweaks to caches in FileCache.
• Don't use dynamically allocated CacheEntries in FileCache.
  • This simplifies the code a lot, also makes it harder to have
    threading-related issues.
  • Also fix potential race condition.
• Added new helper methods for folders into FileCache.
• Removed unused imports from FileCache.
• Tweak some of the variable names in FileCache.
• Renamed the path parameter for the cache methods in FileCache. It's much more useful thinking about them as keys instead of paths.
• Added more caching helper methods to FileCache.
• Actually return the absolute path in FileCache::wwwroot_get_folder_abspath().
• Close the file and don't leak memory in SimpleWebServerRequest::move_file() when in-memory uploads are used.
• Fix _validate() method's virtual bind for FormFieldEntry, FormField, and FormValidator.
• Reworked FormFieldEntries to use format strings.
• Fix data tag in HTMLBuilder.
• Implement HTMLBuilder::wr().
• Made the result variable in HTMLBuilder protected. It now has a getter.
• Use StringBuilder in HTMLBuilder in the background.
• Use empty() instead of checking against "" in HTMLBuilder.

  GET request parameters.
• Fix HTMLPaginator::start() and next() skipping the first page.
• Full and improved docs for the entire module.

users

• Fix calling the wrong method in UserManager.
• Now get_all_as_vector() in UserManager is not virtual anymore. Also removed other implementations.
  • This had to be done as get_all_as_vector() cannot be customized by
    scripts, and if an inherited UserManager needs to set up UserModules
    this will cause issues later down the line.
  • Other solutions like a user_setup() method could also work, but then
    that would cause more individual (non-optimizable) lookups to db-based
    backends (and likely others too), so this solution seems to be the best
    currently.
• Improved UserManagerFile's internals.
• Now UserManager::_create_user() has a User as a parameter.
  This shoukld make it easier to customize user creation. Similar idea to
  how TerrainWorld's _create_chunk() works.
• Fix calling the new _create_user() method in UserManager.
• Fix saving files in UserManagerFile.
• Fix User::_from_dict() using wrong dictionary keys.
• Disable internal process for UserManagerFile. It's not needed anymore.
• Guard against bad indexes in User::_from_dict().
• Write and read lock modules in User::_to_dict() and User::_from_dict().
• Use module names instead of indexes if they are available in User::_from_dict() and User::_to_dict().
• Added some comments to User.
• Added read_try_lock and write_try_lock to User and UserModule.
• Docs for the User class.
• Removed unused enum from User. Note that WebPermission had the same enum if needed.
• Always just defer call to the active UserManager or error in UserDB.
  • Having an optional separate User list in UserDB when there is no
    UserManager can lead to subtle bugs, so it got removed.
  • It also had other limitations, like it was not possible to setup Users
    properly, which could also lead to subtle bugs.
• Don't use the changed signal to get a User to save itself.
• Now UserManagers have a register_as_global property. A manager will only try to set itself as the global manager if it's set to true (default).
• Print an error if more than one UserManagers are trying to become the global instance.
• Docs for UserManager.
• Store the owner UserManager in User.
• Store the owner UserManager in User as an ObjectID.
• Use the owner UserManager when saving Users.
• Added internal user name and email support for Users.
• Updated the UserManagers to use the new internal name and email. Also made sure to call the base _create_user in all UserManagers.
  • Internal name and email is used for lookups, so capitalization automatically won't matter.
• Set maximum password length in UserRegisterWebPage just for good measure (256).
• Also set a maximum password length of 256 in UserLoginWebPage.
• Remove unneeded comments in UserLoginWebPage.
• Set maximum password length of 256 in UserSettingsWebPage aswell.
• Remove unneeded comments in UserSettingsWebPage.
• Include cleanups in UserWebPages.
• Added missing user locks.
• Fix missing tag in UserPasswordResetWebPage's docs.

  If it returns false and the resource importer would be used on a file's
  initial import it will be imported with the "Keep File (No Import)"
  setting.

• Fix PopupMenu size calculations not taking into account control/canvas scale
• fix lost old callback when continuous call requestRenderAndNotify
• Backport DirectionalLight fade_start property to 3.x:
  Implement shadow fading when using the Orthogonal shadow mode (like in master).
  This allows customizing the distance at which directional shadows start to fade away. Shadow fading will also always start at the same distance now, regardless of the current shadow mode in use.
  This is useful for enclosed levels to prevent shadows from fading at all with a well-tuned maximum distance.
  The default fade start value (0.8) results in fading happening later in the distance compared to the previous behavior, where fading started from the last shadow split distance (0.6 in PSSM 4 Splits and 0.1 in PSSM 2 Splits).
• Fix physics tick count in Input.action_press and Input.action_release The physics tick count was not yet updated there.

• Fix spatial_editor_plugin enum
  • The view_mesh_stats feature introduced a new enum value VIEW_SLECTED_INFO within the unnamed VIEW enum.
  • This turns out to be saved somehow, which means the view settings can get out of sync when reloading the project in an older version of the editor.
  • The solution is simply to move the new value to the end of the enum so there are no conflicts.

4.3.0

Highlights:

• Backported the new TileMap from Godot4. Every class from it has been prefixed with the word Layered, so look for the LayeredTileMap class. The old TileMap is still available without any breakages.

• Build containers now use docker instead of podman.
• Removed parse_files() from WebServerRequest. It's doesn't work well with how the http protocol works. It did not do anything. If you called it just remove that call.

Added

• Added FRT and FRT SDL build containers.
• New icon for frt sdl.
• Added an exporter for frt_sdl.
• Added a separate exporter for FRT.

• Fixed building FRT.
• Fixed building FRT SDL.
• IOS build scripts.
• Fix MMImage.
• Hide the FileSystemDock's empty dock slot when it's in bottom bar mode by default.
• Use internal process for updating a dirty skeleton instead of the MessageQueue. This fixes BoneAttachments being a frame late.
• Sync NativeScript's PROPERTY_USAGE flags with Object's.
• Fix 2d mesh transforms and colors.
• Various doc fixes.
• Fix 2 off-by-one errors.
• Fix incorrect clipping in String::substr_index().
• Use String's length() instead of size().
• Fix class link in the docs for SMTPClient.

Changed

• Moved the old frt build containers.
• Renamed the build container folders.
• Renamed uwp's exporter's folder so it's not in the editor while that platform cannot yet be built.
• Reworked the build containers and the in-container build scripts.
• Added an exported for the server platform.
• In-container build script cleanups.
• Build containers now use docker instead of podman.
• Updated the build containers based on godot's.
• Now the input_properties and output_properties property won't get saved directly in MMNode (this was the original intent, nothing should change other than MMMaterial files should be a bit smaller now.). They are still visible in the editor. Also make sure an MMNodeUniversalProperty can only be registered once.
• Make mat maker's image picker button's dialog use resources.
• Fix error found by static analysis tools.
• Improved Light setup in PropInstance.
• Added more properties to PropDataLight and other light helper classes.
• Now CharacterSkeleton2D inherits from YSort. It disables sorting by default, so the default behaviour won't change.
• Now tooltips won't get scaled to their original control's scale anymore by default. Added a new gui_scale_tooltips property to Viewport to be able to use the previous behaviour when it's desired.
• Removed clips_input() method and _clips_input() virtual method from Control. Made clip_contents to also have an input clipping effect, since I couldn't think any single instance where keeping them separated would be useful. This fixes LayeredTileMap's editors clipping input while being invisible, and likely other smaller issues.
• Now EditorPropertyEnums can be setup multiple times.
• Improve multipart filename handling a bit.
• Now SimpleWebServerRequest Only count request size when not writing to a file.
• get_file_length() in WebServerRequest now returns uint64_t.
• Updated sample module_config.py.
• Use bitshifts for all property usage flags.
• Use PROPERTY_HINT_BUTTON in UserManagerStatic instead of a bool.
• Now PROPERTY_HINT_BUTTON adds the property's name as the called method's first parameter.

Removed

• Removed parse_files() from WebServerRequest. It's doesn't work well with how the http protocol works.
• Removed Vector2i(Vector2) constructor, added a Vector2i conversion operator to Vector2 instead. This solves ambigous Variant to Vector2i conversion errors.

Backports

• Backported everything up to and including godotengine/godot@90cf873 Merge commit: godotengine/godot@a73715c

Godot3

• Fix AudioStreamPlayer not paused on pause mode change Fixes #58543.
• Add option to toggle visibility of position gizmos in 2D editor.
• Portals - defer setting active in VisualServer until enter tree set_portal_active() was being called loading packed scenes prior to entering the tree, visual server portals had not been fully created at this point hence the call was being ignored with an error flagged. This PR defers the call until after entering the tree.
• Add option modules_enabled_by_default and minimal CI build.
• Fix physics on_floor_body crash Physics body previously stored the RID of a collision object and accessed it on the next frame, leading to a crash if the object had been deleted. This PR stores the ObjectID in addition to the RID, and checks the object still exists prior to access.
• Store ObjectID instead of pointer for KinematicCollision owner
• Fix SceneTree not respecting virtual process methods
• Don't error multiple times when trying to load missing default bus layout

  Unfortunately this raises the required java version to 17. On the flip side hovewer there is a new editor java home setting, and also the JAVA_HOME environment variable gets picked up.
• Add is_zero_approx methods to Vector{2,3}
• Check duplicate keys in dictionary literals: enums and const variables
  Check identifiers (const variables and unnamed enums) and named
  enums when parsing dictionary literals whether the keys are not
  duplicated.
  In case of duplicate key is encountered, highlight the line with it
  and print error message:
  Duplicate key "foo" found in Dictionary literal
  This commit is a logical continuation of the commit dab73c7 which
  implemented such checks only for literal keys (which fixed #7034).
  Apart from that, this commit also fixes the issue with the error
  message itself, which was shown one line below the duplicated key
  in case it was the last one in the dictionary literal and there
  was no hanging comma.
  Also, the format of the error message has been changed so that now
  the error message also contains the value of the key which is duplicated.
  Instead of Duplicate key found in Dictionary literal, it now prints
  Duplicate key "<value>" found in Dictionary literal
• Tighter shadow culling - fix light colinear to frustum edge
  In rare situations if a light is placed near colinear to a frustum edge, the extra culling plane derived can have an inaccurate normal due to floating point error.
  This PR detects colinear triangles, and prevents adding a culling plane in this situation.

• Backported everything up to and including godotengine/godot@b859a18 Merge commit: godotengine/godot@cc4492f

• Ported: Update the logic used to start / stop the GL thread Currently the GL thread is started / stopped when the activity is respectively resumed / paused. However, according to the GLSurfaceView documentation, this should be done instead when the activity is started / stopped, so this change updates the start / stop logic for the GL thread to match the documentation. - m4gr3d godotengine/godot@194452b

• Ported: Vertex cache optimizer Optimizes indices to make good use of vertex cache on GPU. - lawnjelly godotengine/godot@0aa22b8

• Portred: Add MergeGroup node to simplify merging Meshes at runtime. - lawnjelly godotengine/godot@8b79135

• Ported: Fix signed distance field font rendering This fix works in both GLES3 and GLES2. The rendering formula in the shader was adjusted to further improve the sharpness/antialiasing quality balance. - lawnjelly and Calinou godotengine/godot@bc607fb

• Ported: Shadow volume culling and tighter shadow caster culling Existing shadow caster culling using the BVH takes no account of the camera. This PR adds the highly encapsulated class VisualServerLightCuller which can cut down the casters in the shadow volume to only those which can cast shadows on the camera frustum. This is used to: * More accurately defer dirty updates to shadows when the shadow volume does not intersect the camera frustum. * Tighter cull shadow casters to the view frustum. Lights dirty state is now automatically managed: * Continuous (tighter caster culling) * Static (all casters are rendered) - lawnjelly godotengine/godot@8ca631a

• Style: Mark clang-format 16 as supported for pre-commit hook It only introduced a difference in a .glsl file, which I've worked around by removing an empty line. This keeps formatting consistent between clang-format 15 and 16.

• SCons: Fix Web build when compiler version isn't properly detected Quick fix for #82585. Also set CI version to 3.1.39, which is what we use for official 3.6 builds since 3.6-beta4.
