Godot 3.0.6 fixes an important security issue. In addition we've added the 'headless' build for CI use and fixed several C# issues.
Godot 2.1.5 is released with hundreds of bug fixes and enhancements made by the community over the last 11 months! It features various distribution changes for Android and iOS, as well as new platform features like hardware cursor acceleration and multitouch events. The binaries now come with the same crash handler as Godot 3.0, and dozens of improvements have been made to the "Godot 2 to 3 converter" which you can use to port your Godot 2 projects to the new format. Last but not least, this release fixes security vulnerabilities in Godot's marshalling code (also going to be fixed in Godot 3.0.6 in coming hours) which can affect Godot servers.
As some of you probably noticed a lot of PRs on the backlog now need a rebase because of PR 20137
Godot participates in the Google Summer of Code for the first year, and we have five students working on exciting projects: Godot Blender exporter; MIDI and SoundFont support; GDNative video decoders; WebRTC support for multiplayer games; Gear VR and Daydream support. In this post, our GSoC students give you an update on their current progress and the next steps for their projects.
After all the light types are implemented, the next step is to implement shadow mapping, with all its frustrating implementation details ;)
Exposing the new addition to GDScript: optional type hints and all the perks it brings.
Some love for the users of the old stable 2.1 branch: Godot 2.1.5 is still being worked on and we now have a second release candidate. If all goes well, the stable release should only be a few days away.
One of the features that make Godot stand out is how easy it is to use the physics engine for non-physics games. For Godot 3.1, several improvements are being worked on.
After some weeks of work, the new visual shader editor is ready for testing!
In Godot 3.0.5 we've fixed the Android APK export issue, a C# bug that only appeared on exported games, and several other small things. Get it while the gettin's good!
After three days of intensive game development and two weeks of playtesting and rating (over 3,500 ratings!), we now have the results for our June 2018 Godot Community Game Jam! 110 games were submitted and reviewed, and the winners are: 1) "Fire and Fondness" by John Gabriel 2) "The Weather Guy" by Emilio and Andre Mari Coppola 3) "On Blazing Rails to Kansas City" by Dalton5000
Godot will be at the Libre Software Meeting 2018 (also known as RMLL – Rencontres Mondiales du Logiciel Libre) in Strasbourg, France from Saturday 7 July to Thursday 12 July. We will give a 1-hour talk, a 3-hour workshop and will have a Godot booth for the whole duration of the event.
After a long time coming, and as part of this trend of modernizing many old godot subsystems, the animation tree has been rewritten from scratch and it's now brand new, with plenty of new features.
Godot 3.0.4 is a small release that fixes a crasher in the asset library on Windows. If you were affected by this please upgrade. Otherwise we'll come back with a larger 3.0.5 soon!

It's been a loooong time since our previous Godot Community Game Jam in December 2016! We'll host a new one next week-end, from Friday 15 June to Monday 18 June, see the https://itch.io/jam/godotjam062018 for more details.
The existing animation system in Godot was already one of the most powerful of any game engine, but its age was starting to show (it was written 10 years ago and barely improved). The new one builds upon the strengths of the previous one but does massive improvements to features and usability.
We have released a tool to repair APK files released with older versions of Godot. A fix for this will also be integrated in upcoming Godot releases.
