The Issue
=======
For a long time now MinGW has been unsupported and unmaintained and at this point,
it looks like something that we should just leave behind and move on.
Why Remove
==========
One of the big motivations for MinGW back in the day is that it was free compared to MSVC which was licensed based.
However, now that this is no longer true we have basically stopped updating the need CMake files.
Along with the CMake files, there are several patches to the extern libs needed to make this work. For example, see:
https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/extern/carve/patches/mingw_w64.patch
If we wanted to keep MinGW then we would need to make more custom patches to the external libs and
this is not something our platform maintainers are willing to do.
For example, here is the patches needed to build python: https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-python3

Reworked logic in the few places that still called this. Deleted the "GLSL not supported" fallbacks.
Also removed some nearby checks for ARB_multitexture and OpenGL 1.1. Blender 2.77 removed checks like this, but game engine still has some.
The redundant terms were harmless but check an expression we already
know to be true (from earlier in the same conditional).
Found by PVS-Studio T48917
defines a uniform that reflects the eye being rendered in stereo mode:
0.0 for the left eye, 0.5 for the right eye.
In non stereo mode, the value of the uniform is fixed to 0.0.
The typical use of this uniform is in stereo mode to sample stereo textures
containing the left and right eye images in a top-bottom order.
python:
shader = obj.meshes[0].materials[mat].getShader()
shader.setUniformEyef("eye")
shader:
uniform float eye;
uniform sampler2D tex;
void main(void)
{
vec4 color;
float ty, tx;
tx = gl_TexCoord[0].x;
ty = eye+gl_TexCoord[0].y*0.5;
// ty will be between 0 and 0.5 for the left eye render
// and 0.5 and 1.0 for the right eye render.
color = texture(tex, vec2(tx, ty));
...
}
bge.logic.setRender(flag) to enable/disable render.
The render pass is enabled by default but it can be disabled with
bge.logic.setRender(False).
Once disabled, the render pass is skipped and a new logic frame starts
immediately. Note that VSync no longer limits the fps when render is off
but the 'Use Frame Rate' option in the Render Properties still does.
To run as many frames as possible, untick the option
This function is useful when you don't need the default render, e.g.
when doing offscreen render to an alternate device than the monitor.
Note that without VSync, you must limit the frame rate by other means.
fbo = bge.render.offScreenCreate(width,height,[,samples=0][,target=bge.render.RAS_OFS_RENDER_BUFFER])
Use this method to create an offscreen buffer of given size, with given MSAA
samples and targetting either a render buffer (bge.render.RAS_OFS_RENDER_BUFFER)
or a texture (bge.render.RAS_OFS_RENDER_TEXTURE). Use the former if you want to
retrieve the frame buffer on the host and the latter if you want to pass the render
to another context (texture are proper OGL object, render buffers aren't)
The object created by this function can only be used as a parameter of the
bge.texture.ImageRender() constructor to send the the render to the FBO rather
than to the frame buffer. This is best suited when you want to create a render
of specific size, or if you need an image with an alpha channel.
bge.texture.<imagetype>.refresh(buffer=None, format="RGBA", ts=-1.0)
Without arg, the refresh method of the image objects is pretty much a no-op, it
simply invalidates the image so that on next texture refresh, the image will
be recalculated.
It is now possible to pass an optional buffer object to transfer the image (and
recalculate it if it was invalid) to an external object. The object must implement
the 'buffer protocol'. The image will be transfered as "RGBA" or "BGRA" pixels
depending on format argument (only those 2 formats are supported) and ts is an
optional timestamp in the image depends on it (e.g. VideoFFmpeg playing a video file).
With this function you don't need anymore to link the image object to a Texture
object to use: the image object is self-sufficient.
bge.texture.ImageRender(scene, camera, fbo=None)
Render to buffer is possible by passing a FBO object (see offScreenCreate).
bge.texture.ImageRender.render()
Allows asynchronous render: call this method to render the scene but without
extracting the pixels yet. The function returns as soon as the render commands
have been send to the GPU. The render will proceed asynchronously in the GPU
while the host can perform other tasks.
To complete the render, you can either call refresh() directly of refresh the texture
to which this object is the source. Asynchronous render is useful to achieve optimal
performance: call render() on frame N and refresh() on frame N+1 to give as much as
time as possible to the GPU to render the frame while the game engine can perform other tasks.
Support negative scale on camera.
Camera scale was previously ignored in the BGE.
It is now injected in the modelview matrix as a vertical or horizontal flip
of the scene (respectively if scaleY<0 and scaleX<0).
Note that the actual value of the scale is not used, only the sign.
This allows to flip the image produced by ImageRender() without any performance
degradation: the flip is integrated in the render itself.
Optimized image transfer from ImageRender to buffer.
Previously, images that were transferred to the host were always going through
buffers in VideoTexture. It is now possible to transfer ImageRender
images to external buffer without intermediate copy (i.e. directly from OGL to buffer)
if the attributes of the ImageRender objects are set as follow:
flip=False, alpha=True, scale=False, depth=False, zbuff=False.
(if you need to flip the image, use camera negative scale)
Previously the logic manager was used as a global variable for SCA_ILogicBrick::m_sCurrentLogicManager,
this request to always update it before run any python script and allow call function like
ConvertPythonTo[GameObject/Mesh]. The bug showed in T48071 is that as exepted the global
m_sCurrentLogicManager is not updated with the proper scene logic manager.
Instead of trying to fix it by updating the logic manager everywhere and wait next bug report to add
a similar line. The following patch propose a different way:
- Every logic brick now contain its logic manager to SCA_ILogicBrick::m_logicManager, this value is
set and get by SCA_ILogicBrick::[Set/Get]LogicManager, It's initialized from blender conversion and
scene merging.
- Function ConvertPythonTo[GameObject/mesh] now take as first argument the logic manager to find name
coresponding object or mesh. Only ConvertPythonToCamera doesn't do that because it uses the
KX_Scene::FindCamera function.

Mainly it's related on a bad practice in SDL to force-define __SSE__
and __SSE2__ flags which generates quite some warnings and causes too
much noise.
There are some other warnings fixed. Should be no functional changes.

This patch adds a python method to get openGL bind code of material's texture according to the texture slot.
Example:
import bge
cont = bge.logic.getCurrentController()
own = cont.owner
bindId = own.meshes[0].materials[0].getTextureBindcode(0)

This can be used to play with texture in openGL, for example, remove mipmap on the texture or play with all wrapping or filtering options.
And this can be used to learn openGL with Blender.

While SCons building system was serving us really good for ages it's no longer
having much attention by the developers and started to become quite a difficult
task to maintain.
What's even worse -- there started to be quite serious divergence between SCons
and CMake which was only accumulating over the releases now. The fact that none
of the active developers are really using SCons and that our main studio is also
using CMake spotting bugs in the SCons builds became quite a difficult task and
we aren't always spotting them in time.
Meanwhile CMake became really mature building system which is available on every
platform we support and arguably it's also easier and more robust to use.
This commit includes:
- Removal of actual SCons building system
- Removal of SCons git submodule
- Removal of documentation which is stored in the sources and covers SCons
- Tweaks to the buildbot master to stop using SCons submodule
(this change requires deploying to the server)
- Tweaks to the install dependencies script to skip installing or mentioning
SCons building system
- Tweaks to various helper scripts to avoid mention of SCons folders/files
as well

This is purely internal sanitizing/cleanup, no change in behavior is expected at all.
This change was also needed because we were getting short on ID flags, and
future enhancement of 'user_one' ID behavior requires two new ones.
id->flag remains for persistent data (fakeuser only, so far!), this also allows us
100% backward & forward compatibility.
New id->tag is used for most flags. Though written in .blend files, its content
is cleared at read time.
Note that .blend file version was bumped, so that we can clear runtimeflags from
old .blends, important in case we add new persistent flags in future.
Also, behavior of tags (either status ones, or whether they need to be cleared before/after use)
has been added as comments to their declaration.

This patch improves clock management in BGE, to be able to accelerate /
slow the time, and also to finely synchronize clock with external
engines. Several new python functions have been added and existence ones
have been improved for that purpose. Now we have:
- getClockTime(): Get the current BGE render time, in seconds. The BGE
render time is the simulation time corresponding to the next scene that
will be rendered.
- getFrameTime(): Get the current BGE frame time, in seconds. The BGE
frame time is the simulation time corresponding to the current call of
the logic system. Generally speaking, it is what the user is interested
in.
- getRealTime(): Get the number of real (system-clock) seconds elapsed
since the beginning of the simulation.
- getTimeScale(): Get the time multiplier between real-time and
simulation time. The default value is 1.0. A value greater than 1.0
means that the simulation is going faster than real-time, a value lower
than 1.0 means that the simulation is going slower than real-time.
- setTimeScale(time_scale): Set the time multiplier between real-time
and simulation time. A value greater than 1.0 means that the simulation
is going faster than real-time, a value lower than 1.0 means that the
simulation is going slower than real-time. Note that a too large value
may lead to some physics instabilities.
- getUseExternalClock(): Get if the BGE use the inner BGE clock, or rely
or on an external clock. The default is to use the inner BGE clock.
- setUseExternalClock(use_external_clock): Set if the BGE use the inner
BGE clock, or rely or on an external clock. If the user selects the use
of an external clock, he should call regularly the setClockTime method.
- setClockTime(new_time): Set the next value of the simulation clock. It
is preferable to use this method from a custom main function in python,
as calling it in the logic block can easily lead to a blocked system (if
the time does not advance enough to run at least the next logic step).
Rationale are described more precisely in the thread
