Major milestone ready for testing: Godot 4.0 alpha 1 is out!

We are finally ready to release Godot 4.0 alpha 1 — a major milestone on the way to the stable release of Godot 4.0 and all future 4.x releases. As expected of any alpha software, it is still rough on the edges and not intended for use in production, but instead of early testers to find and report bugs, and provide us with feedback on the new features and how to improve them.
