Help us reach the next funding goal to ensure continued C# support

During the past year, Ignacio Etcheverry worked on significantly improving C# support and its integration in Godot, adding support for Android, HTML5 and iOS, as well as popular third party IDEs. This was financed thanks to a generous donation from Microsoft. Unfortunately, due to the Covid situation, the renewal of this grant has been suspended and is uncertain.

Donation changes

The project situation changed a lot for the better in the past few months, with a steady growth in the amount of users and contributors, and a nice boost to our funding situation, freeing donation funds for new purposes. Therefore, we discussed with core contributors that this is a good time to change how the project manages donations, and give our whole crowdfunding a much-needed update.

Release candidate: Godot 3.2.2 RC 4

Release candidate: Godot 3.2.2 RC 3

The upcoming Godot 3.2.2 is turning out to be quite feature-packed and we've been taking the time to iterate since the first dev snapshot mid-April. This new RC 3 build fixes a couple recent regressions. It's now considered release-ready, so unless new regressions are reported in coming days, we plan to release 3.2.2-stable in a day or two.

Release candidate: Godot 3.2.2 RC 2

The upcoming Godot 3.2.2 is turning out to be quite feature-packed and we've been taking the time to iterate with four beta snapshots. Last week saw a first release candidate, and now's the second one with a couple regression fixes and more bugfixes and usability improvements.

Release candidate: Godot 3.2.2 RC 1

The upcoming Godot 3.2.2 is turning out to be quite feature-packed and we've been taking the time to iterate with four beta snapshots before reaching a state that we're confident enough to label as release candidate. This new RC 1 build should be quite stable and we hope that many Godot 3.2.x users will give it a try and help us confirm that it's ready to take the place of the current 3.2.1 stable build.

Godot core budget meeting report #1
