Dev snapshot: Godot 3.0 RC 2

The long-awaited release is finally here, Godot 3.0... RC 2 ;) The actual stable release is still planned for January 2018, but we have various recent bug fixes that need broader testing before we can label the current master branch "stable" and move on towards the next milestone. You can already expect a third (and hopefully last) RC early next week, and the stable release shortly after.

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.0 RC 1

Things have sped up a lot in the Godot development team since the beginning of 2018, to be able to finalize 3.0 and release it in January. The release freeze has been announced, meaning that enhancements and non-critical bug fixes are no longer being merged, to ensure that the master branch can stabilize and eventually be ready for the final release. This means of course that many known issues won't be fixed for 3.0, but will have to wait for 3.1 or for the maintenance 3.0.x releases which should start arriving in February.

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.0 beta 2

After three weeks of testing of the 3.0 beta 1 snapshot, we're now ready for a new beta release fixing many of the reported issues and then some! It also includes a surprise lightmapper from Juan, and many usability enhancements provided by our numerous contributors. The final 3.0 release is now very close, so stay tuned for more news and the release candidate!

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.0 beta 1

Godot 3.0's development official entered the beta stage last week, which coincides for us with what we name the feature freeze: from now on, no new features will be merged in the master branch, as the focus will be fully on fixing existing issues to stabilize the current feature set. To get broader testing of the feature-frozen branch, we're releasing an official build, Godot 3.0 beta 1, just one month after the previous alpha 2.

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.0 alpha 2

One step closer to the release of Godot 3.0! With this alpha 2 development snapshot, Godot users will be able to preview the upcoming C# support and continue testing the advanced 3D features introduced in Godot 3.0. This snapshot is of course expected to be buggy and unstable, so please be aware that it does not reflect the final state of what Godot 3.0 will be like.

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.0 alpha1

There is still a long way to go to finalize Godot 3.0 and release it publicly, but we are now ready for some broader testing of the alpha version. The first alpha build comes with many known issues, but also a lot of interesting (and undocumented) features to experiment with and debug.

Tests needed for Godot 2.1.4-rc

Today's beta build for the upcoming Godot 2.1.4 version brings two months worth of development, including both bug fixes and new features, some of which potentially bolder than usual - with the long wait for Godot 3.0, many 2.1.x users grow restless and push to get the latest and shiniest included in the stable branch ;) As such, testers needed to make sure everything works flawlessly!

Last call before take-off: Godot 2.1 RC2

The 2.1-stable release is imminent, so to make sure everything will work as expected, here's a new release candidate with its load of bugfixing and small enhancements.

Our first Release Candidate for Godot 2.1 is here! If you don't find enough bugs, this will be our final candidate, so better get testing!

Godot 2.1 reaches beta, ready for testing!

After 5 months of development and more than 1,600 commits, we are pretty happy with the state of the upcoming 2.1 version, and therefore release a beta for the community to test and give feedback upon! This new releases had again an important focus on usability, making Godot a very convenient and pleasing engine to use!

Godot 2.0 RC1 released!

Finally, a couple of weeks (and hundreds of fixes) after the Beta, we are proud to present our first Release Candidate! This engine version should be much more stable and, if no serious bugs are found, will become 2.0 stable.

Godot 1.0 RC1 is here!

A long time in the baking, but the first release candidate is here. This does not mean Godot is now without bugs, but that nothing should be too serious to affect your productivity. After stable release, we’ll keep fixing issues and then head over to 1.1 (see roadmap!).
