All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.
This is a backwards-compatible release; thus no removals or breaking changes.
- RPC modes are now supported for properties:
#[property(rpc = "mode")]
. (#1006)
- Specialized pool array aliases such as
PoolByteArray
are now deprecated and will be removed in the next version. UsePoolArray<u8>
instead. (#1007)
- Types with one-way conversions can now be exposed through the
#[property]
attribute. (#1013) FromVariant
for marker types should no longer fail in the fringe case where null object variants are explicitly used. (#1012)
This is a hot-fix release for a high priority issue.
- API methods that may return null object pointers should no longer panic. (#1002)
This is a backwards-compatible release; thus no removals or breaking changes.
NativeClass
can now be derived for generic types. Additionally,#[monomorphize]
can be used to name concrete monomorphizations. (#983)- With the optional
inventory
feature enabled,NativeClass
es and their#[monomorphize]
d aliases can now be automatically registered on supported platforms. (#999) #[methods]
now supports async-await coroutines. (#975)- Mix-in impl blocks can now be created through
#[methods(mixin = "Name")]
. These blocks have a many-to-many relationship withNativeClass
es, and can be generic, or trait implementations. (#999) - Added a Third-Person-Shooter example. (#977)
- Variant derive macros now support stringly and numeric representations for fieldless enums. (#964)
FromVariant
can now be derived for uninhabitable enums. (#962)- Dedicated accessor methods are now generated for indexed properties, such as
SpatialMaterial::albedo_texture
. (#970) - Implemented additional geometric operations on
Transform3D
. (#898) - Android targets are now supported on macOS running on Apple Silicon. (#982)
- Improved panic messages in init/terminate callbacks. (#960)
ptrcall
s are now opt-in, with theptrcall
feature flag. This improves binary compatibility in the default configuration. (#973)
- Variant derive macros now work properly with generic types with bounds. (#961)
Transform::interpolate_with
now has behavior consistent with Godot 3 (spherical interpolation). (#998)- The correct number of arguments are now reported when an invalid argument list is provided for a method with optional arguments. (#1000)

module, and in the#[gdnative::profiled]
attribute. -
Added before/after hooks for the
#[property]
attribute. -
API methods now have generated documentation according to Godot documentation XMLs. The Godot docs contain custom markup which isn't currently parsed. We expect to improve the generated docs in the following releases.
-
Added custom resource example.
-
The default API version is now Godot 3.2.3-stable.
-
The object reference system is revamped using the typestate pattern, with semantics that model Godot behavior more accurately, allowing for clearer boundaries between safe and unsafe code.
-
API methods are now generic over types that can be converted to
Variant
,GodotString
, or generated API types, removing the need for boilerplate code like&thing.into()
. -
Enums in the API are now represented more accurately as newtypes around
i64
. They are available in the same modules where their associated objects are defined. -
Dictionary
andVariantArray
now use the typestate pattern as well. -
The typed arrays are unified into a generic
TypedArray
type. The old names remain as type aliases. -
Moved generated bindings into the
gdnative::api
module, making the top-level namespace easier to navigate. -
It's now possible to crate custom binding crates without forking the repository using the generator, since
gdnative_bindings_generator::Api::new
now takes JSON input as an argument. -
Separated core wrappers and NativeScript support into the
core_types
andnativescript
modules. -
Cleaned up the public interface with regards to intended usage. The public API no longer uses
gdnative-sys
types. -
The
new_ref
method is now in aNewRef
trait. -
High-level wrappers are added for
godot_gdnative_init
andgodot_gdnative_terminate
callback arguments. -
Improved source links on docs.rs.
-
bindgen
is updated to 0.55.1. -
euclid
is updated to 0.22.1. -
Improved build time performance.
-
Removed deprecated items from the public interface in 0.8.1.
-
Removed
gdnative-sys
types from the public interface.gdnative-sys
is considered an internal dependency starting from 0.9. -
Removed the
Object
andReference
wrappers fromgdnative-core
. The same types are available ingdnative-bindings
. -
Removed generated bindings for virtual methods, since they cannot actually be called.
-
Removed
From
implementations forVariant
sinceToVariant
is much more comprehensive.
-
Fixed typos in variant names of
VariantOperator
andGodotError
. -
StringName::from_str
now returnsSelf
correctly. -
Fixed a case of undefined behavior that may manifest as crashes when some specific methods that return
VariantArray
are called. -
Fixed an issue with platform headers when building on Windows with the
gnu
toolchain that prevented compilation. -
Macros can now be used with qualified imports, removing the need for
#[macro_use]
. -
Fixed an issue where
Rid
arguments passed to API methods are incorrect due to use-after-free.
-
Exported methods can now have optional arguments. Arguments with the
#[opt]
attribute are optional in the scripting API. Default values are obtained usingDefault
if not provided by the caller. -
Added a
claim
method on theGodotObject
trait, which clones the reference if the underlying type is reference-counted (extends fromReference
), or aliases it if it isn't. This replaces theClass::from_sys(object.to_sys())
"idiom" that relied on hidden public items (from_sys
andto_sys
) that are not actually intended to be part of the public API. -
Fields can now be skipped with the
#[variant(skip)]
attribute when derivingFromVariant
andToVariant
. -
Implemented various methods on
Basis
. -
Implemented
Display
forGodotString
. -
Implemented
Debug
for core typed arrays. -
Added
Aether<T>
, a specialUserData
wrapper for ZSTs. This type does not perform any allocation or synchronization at runtime, but produces a value usingDefault
each time it's mapped. -
Include paths for the Android SDK can now be inferred from environment variables.
-
A dodge-the-creeps example has been added to the repo.
-
Initialization errors are now reported using GDNative APIs, instead of panics. This includes situations where API struct versions mismatch, or if some API functions are unavailable.
-
Paths to SDKs for Apple platforms are now obtained using
xcrun
. -
The public fields of
ExportInfo
are now deprecated. They will become private in 0.9. Use one of the constructors orExport::export_info
instead. -
Several public types that are unused in the current API have been deprecated.
-
Free-on-drop wrappers are now deprecated. Use of free-on-drop wrappers is no longer recommended due to upcoming changes in ownership semantics in 0.9. Users are suggested to call
free
orqueue_free
manually instead. They will be removed in 0.9.
-
Fixed a problem where the build script for
gdnative-sys
will try to include macOS headers when building for mobile targets from a Mac, causing the build to fail. -
Fixed SDK include paths for the iOS Simulator, whose SDK was separate from the one for real iOS devices. This allows building for the iOS Simulator platform.
-
Fixed a case of undefined behavior (UB) when Rust scripts are attached to incompatible base classes in the Godot Editor (e.g. attaching a
NativeClass
withBase = Node2D
to aSpatial
node).
-
Field attribute
property
on derivedNativeClass
types, which can be used to quickly export simple properties. -
The behavior of derived
FromVariant
andToVariant
implementations can be customized with thevariant
field attribute. -
New example projects.
-
A
godot_dbg!
macro for quick and dirty debugging that works like the standarddbg!
, but prints to the Godot debug console.
-
The default API version is now Godot 3.2-stable.
-
The
FromVariant
trait now reports detailed information on failure. -
The API for property registration is reworked to provide better ergonomics and static type checking for editor hints.
-
LocalCellData
is now the default user-data wrapper type. This wrapper allows non-Send
types to be used asNativeClass
es, and produces a runtime error whenever a value is accessed from a different thread than where it was created.
- Removed the old-style
godot_class!
macro.
-
Fixed an
unused_parens
warning when using theNativeClass
derive macro. -
Fixed handling of unknown enums with duplicate values, which prevented code generation for Godot version
3.2
. -
Fixed a memory leak where a
Drop
implementation wasn't generated for non-instanciable reference-counted types. -
Fixed a memory leak where reference-counted types get an extra reference count when returned from the engine.
-
Fixed bindings generation when building for iOS using
cargo-lipo
.
-
Procedural-macro
methods
which can be applied toimpl
blocks and allows a more natural Rust syntax for creating script types and exporting functions using attributes. -
The
ToVariant
andFromVariant
traits, including derive macros. These traits can be used to define how custom types can be constructed fromVariant
s or be extracted from existingVariant
s. Any type implementingFromVariant
can be used as a parameter to an exported function. Any type implementingToVariant
can be returned from exported functions. -
Derive-macro for
NativeClass
trait. -
Every type implementing
NativeClass
provides a "user data" storage type which is used to control how the script data is stored internally. A default value is provided via the procedural macro. -
Iterators for Godot collection types.
-
Instance<T>
type which contains the Godot owner object and the script data (implementsToVariant
andFromVariant
, so it can be used as a parameter or return type). -
Generated class wrappers now include associated constants for constants provided by Godot.
-
New example projects.
-
The code now uses the Rust 2018 edition.
-
The API description of Godot classes was updated to the stable Godot version
3.1.1
. -
The GDNative API description was updated to the stable Godot version
3.1.1
and now includes added GDNative extensions. -
The
NativeClass
trait has changed a lot and was split into two traits to allow themethods
procedural macro to generate a description of exported methods. -
The generated class bindings are stored in a single crate again and use the
Deref
trait to implement inheritance.
- The "domain-grouped" crates for generated bindings are merged into a single crate, so the individual crates are no longer in use.
-
Fixed a memory safety issue where the strings used to register signals are dropped before the API call.
-
Fixed a correctness issue where the layout of method arguments is incorrectly assumed to be continuous, causing invalid memory access when calling methods with multiple arguments.
