Godot Engine reaches 2.0 stable

Mircosoft Game Dev

FEBRUARY 22, 2016

This version worked well but we felt it was still far from the usability and features of a modern game engine. The more urgent issue was to improve the 2D engine so we worked hard again and released Godot 1.1, To compensate, the new code editor now works more similar to an IDE, where scripts are just opened all the time.

Another new CLI option is --quit which will quit the engine after the first main loop iteration. If you use the Bullet physics engine and relied on the fact that the calculated effective gravity on KinematicBodies was always '0' then you will need to fix your code as this is now correctly calculated. This is helpful for CI pipelines.
