Has it already been a whole month since the last 4.7 maintenance release? How time flies… Well, no time to dwell on the past; let’s instead dwell on the past with yet another maintenance release: Godot 4.7.2!

Maintenance releases are expected to be safe for an upgrade, but we recommend to always make backups, or use a version control system such as Git, to preserve your projects in case of corruption or data loss.

Please consider supporting the project financially, if you are able. Godot is maintained by the efforts of volunteers and a small team of paid contributors. Your donations go towards sponsoring their work and ensuring they can dedicate their undivided attention to the needs of the project.
