This is an editor setting and its value can also be toggled
using an entry in the Editor toolbar. The console will still
appear briefly when starting the project manager or editor,
as it's still compiled as console application.
Does not impact exported games, which will still run without
console in release and with console in debug mode.
A project setting or export option could be added to disable
it in debug mode if there's demand for it, but that would
greatly reduce the usefulness of debug builds if Windows users
can no longer report error and crash messages.
Fixes#17889.

It's not necessary, but the vast majority of calls of error macros
do have an ending semicolon, so it's best to be consistent.
Most WARN_DEPRECATED calls did *not* have a semicolon, but there's
no reason for them to be treated differently.
Due to the high number of commits in the Godot repository,
7-character hashes were starting to become occasionally ambiguous.
In contrast, 9-character hashes are currently unambiguous for
all commits.
Also include website URL and make it configurable via version.py
together with the rest of the engine branding.
Add mention to MIT license in --help output.
On high-refresh rate displays, the old default value (8000) effectively
limited redrawing to 125 FPS, no matter whether V-Sync was enabled
or not. The new value limits redrawing to a value slightly above
144 FPS, decreasing input lag and making the editor feel smoother
when using freelook.
60 Hz displays aren't affected by this change when V-Sync is enabled,
since V-Sync will take care of limiting redrawing to 60 FPS.
GLES2 is not designed to be a drop-in replacement for the GLES3 backend,
so the fallback mode has to be used knowingly. It *can* make sense for
simple projects which make sure to handle the differences between both
rendering backends, but most users should stick to one supported backend.
By making it opt-in, we can now use this parameter to define whether to
export ETC textures to Android and iOS when using GLES3 + Fallback.
When using GLES3 without Fallback on Android, set the proper min GLES
version in the AndroidManifest.
Also made the option boolean and renamed it for clarity and to avoid
conflict with the previous String option (which would always evaluate as
"true" otherwise).
Fixes#26569.
It has a big impact on 2D and text rendering performance (cf. #24466)
so the solution seems worse than the bug it aims to work around.
It's now opt-in via "rendering/quality/2d/gles2_use_nvidia_rect_flicker_workaround"
for those who need it and have a simple enough game for the performance
drop not to be an issue.
Fixes#24466.
Previously, an error message would get printed to the console, but this
is problematic in e.g. Windows where a console is not displayed. In the
case of a missing .pck file, the binary would just silently fail. Now,
it shows an alert.
Fixes#21994.
