From 063637ec77bbb3f3b809d616005cb80d0cdc64b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugo Locurcio Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2022 18:53:07 +0200 Subject: Rename `float=64` SCons option to `precision=double` This avoids confusion with the old `bits=64` option and building for 64-bit CPUs in general. --- doc/classes/Vector2.xml | 2 +- doc/classes/Vector3.xml | 2 +- doc/classes/Vector4.xml | 2 +- doc/classes/float.xml | 2 +- 4 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/classes') diff --git a/doc/classes/Vector2.xml b/doc/classes/Vector2.xml index 1cd73688ee..c47933ccb7 100644 --- a/doc/classes/Vector2.xml +++ b/doc/classes/Vector2.xml @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ 2-element structure that can be used to represent positions in 2D space or any other pair of numeric values. - It uses floating-point coordinates.
