In parallel to our work on Godot 3.5 (with a first beta) and 4.0 (and finally alpha 1!), we backport important fixes to the stable 3.4 branch for use in production.

A number of such fixes have been queued since the 3.4.2 release, so we’re getting ready to release Godot 3.4.3, and this first Release Candidate is your chance to help us validate it.

Jump to the Downloads section.

As usual, you can try it live with the online version of the Godot editor updated for this release.
Edit: Or not, there’s a regression for the web editor in this build (GH-57592). This will be fixed in the next build.
