Godot 3.2.2 was released on June 26 with over 3 months’ worth of development, including many bugfixes and a handful of features. Some regressions were noticed after the release though, so we decided that Godot 3.2.3 would focus mainly on fixing those new bugs to ensure that all Godot users can have the most stable experience possible.

Here’s a sixth Release Candidate for the upcoming Godot 3.2.3 release. Please help us test it to ensure that no new regressions have slipped through code review and testing.

The main differences with the previous RC 5 are C# fixes following the backport of the csproj and Godot.NET.Sdk changes.

3.2.3 is taking its time to reach stable, but we want to ensure that it’s the best release for use in production by all Godot users.

  • C#: New csproj style with backport of Godot.NET.Sdk (GH-41408).
    • Note: This change breaks forward compatibility, C# projects opened in 3.2.3 will no longer work with 3.2.2 or earlier. Backup your project files before upgrading.
  • C#: Add Visual Studio support (GH-39784).
  • C#: Fix crash when pass null in print array in GD.Print (GH-40078).

  • C#: Fix endless reload loop if project has unicode chars (GH-41886) [regression fix].
  • Core: Fix debugger error when Dictionary key is a freed Object (GH-39906) [regression fix].
  • Core: Fix leaked ObjectRCs on object Variant reassignment (GH-39903) [regression fix].

  • GLES3: Fix OpenGL error when generating radiance (GH-40558).
  • HTML5: Improvements and bugfixes backported from the master branch (GH-39604).
    • Note: This PR adds threads support, but as this support is still disabled in many browsers due to security concerns, the option is not enabled by default. Build HTML5 templates with threads_enabled=yes to test it.
  • HTML5: More fixes, audio fallback, fixed FPS (GH-40052).
  • HTML5: Implement HTML5 cancel/ok button swap on Windows (GH-40755).

  • Input: Support SDL2 half axes and inverted axes mappings (GH-38724).
  • iOS: Add support of iOS’s dynamic libraries to GDNative (GH-39996).
  • iOS: Fix for iOS touch recognition (GH-40723).
  • iOS: Add methods to embed a framework (GH-41081).
  • iOS: Fix possible crash on exit when leaking translation remappings (GH-41635).
  • LineEdit: Add option to disable virtual keyboard for LineEdit (GH-40588).
  • macOS: Add support for the Apple Silicon (ARM64) build target (GH-39943).

  • PathFollow3D: Fix repeated updates of PathFollow3D Transform (GH-40197).
  • Physics: Better damping implementation for Bullet rigid bodies (GH-39084).
    • Note: This makes the behavior of the GodotPhysics and Bullet backends consistent, and more user-friendly with Bullet. If you’re using damping with the Bullet backend, you may need to adjust some properties to restore the behavior from 3.2.2 or earlier (see GH-42051).

Downloads

The download links for dev snapshots are not featured on the Download page to avoid confusion for new users. Instead, browse our download repository and fetch the editor binary that matches your platform:

  • Standard build (GDScript, GDNative, VisualScript).
  • Mono build (C# support + all the above). You need to have MSBuild installed to use the Mono build. Relevant parts of Mono 6.6.0.166 are included in this build.

Bug reports

As a tester, you are encouraged to open bug reports if you experience issues with 3.2.3 RC 6. Please check first the existing issues on GitHub, using the search function with relevant keywords, to ensure that the bug you experience is not known already.

In particular, any change that would cause a regression in your projects is very important to report (e.g. if something that worked fine in 3.2.1 or 3.2.2 no longer works in 3.2.3 RC 6).
