Maintenance release: Godot 3.3.1

We released Godot 3.3 a few weeks ago, and feedback so far has been pretty good! But like with any major milestone, there are some bugs which are worth addressing with low-risk maintenance releases to further improve the experience for all Godot users. Godot 3.3.1 focuses purely on bug fixes, and aims to preserve compatibility.

Release candidate: Godot 3.3.1 RC 2

The first release candidate for Godot 3.3.1 had positive reception, but more important fixes have been merged in the meantime and warrant a second release candidate.

Godot 3.3 has arrived, with a focus on optimization and reliability

All Godot contributors are delighted to release our latest milestone today, Godot 3.3, after more than 7 months of development! This release was initially planned as a 3.2.4 update to the 3.2 branch, but it grew to become a feature-packed update well worth of opening a new stable branch.

Release candidate: Godot 3.3 RC 6

We decided to rename the upcoming version 3.2.4 to Godot 3.3 to better reflect how feature-packed it is! So this new 3.3 RC 6 is a direct follow-up to 3.2.4 RC 5, with a few more bugs fixed and the version changed.

Versioning change for Godot 3.x

We decide to rename the upcoming 3.2.4 release to Godot 3.3 to better advertize that it's a big milestone with tons of new features! It's still fully compatible with previous Godot 3.2.x releases as one would have expected of 3.2.4, so it will be a recommended update for all Godot users. Moreover, we'll start working on Godot 3.4 in parallel to providing bugfix releases for 3.3.x at a faster pace.
