This will be super handy!

If you run into trouble with v8 versions, this will soon be a lot easier when godotengine/godot#100749 lands in Godot. I've got a bunch of commits over at https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/GodotJS/commits/main/ that I need to clean up and upstream. Some of this is related to C++20. This will allow us to use the latest v8 (which requires C++20 to build).

I uses v8_12.4.254.21_r13 for now. The changes for C++20 would be another topic ^.^

Furthermore, I disabled the tests for now. Would be an improvement as well

This looks pretty fantastic to me. Sorry about the merge conflict in jsb_environment.cpp, that file can just be dropped now since the same fix has landed in main. You'll either want to squash and merge, or alternatively do an interactive rebase (+ force push) squashing some of fix-up commits together.

Aside from that, unless @ialex32x, has some thoughts, I reckon you're good to merge this.

A nice follow-up in future would be to introduce a super simple patch mechanism for the Godot Engine source. Main use case I have in mind would be to patch the URL in ExportTemplateManager::_refresh_mirrors to point to something we can generate along with each build. Then users would just be able to download the latest GH release and easily obtain appropriate export templates.

@nmerget I've just rebased this for you (since I broke it) 😅 I squashed the fix-up commits (duplicate commit messages) but kept individual commits for posterity. Assuming the actions run to completion, I'll merge it when they're done.

@nmerget Thanks so much for putting this together! It's a massive improvement. 🎉

@Benjamin-Dobell I would have squashed it before during the merge ^.^
But nvm I'll update the documentation as well

At the moment we point to 4.4 which means it should use the latest patch version from Godot.
A great way of dealing with Open Source releases is changesets, at least in the npm world.
If we use changests we would create a cron-job (schedule action) to run the release process every week.
It would bundle all changesets into a changelog and would release the current Godot + GodotJS without any effort.
