Juan Linietsky - 1 November 2022Software Freedom Conservancy and the Godot leadership are excited to share their decision that the Godot project has reached a level of success for which makes sense for Godot to have its own independent foundation.
Juan Linietsky - 23 August 2022Godot's visual scripting language, VisualScript, was introduced in Godot 3.0, almost five years ago. Despite our continuous effort, it never gained traction and the path to improve it was never clear. Because of this, for Godot 4.0, we decided to accept that the approach we took from the start was simply not the right one and decided to remove it from the engine. If enough volunteer interest exists, it may be moved to an extension.
Yuri Sizov - 28 July 2022We're determined to deliver a stable release of Godot 4.0 as soon as possible. To achieve this, we are going to enter the feature freeze phase (beta) for Godot 4.0, to shift our focus towards stabilizing the existing functionality and fixing bugs.

Juan Linietsky - 1 April 2021After months of internal debate, we have decided to deal once and for all with a hot topic and the source of much criticism. Godot is being rebranded in order to gain wider appeal and acceptance.
Rémi Verschelde - 17 March 2021We 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.
