Rémi Verschelde - 15 September 2022It has been a long road to Godot 4.0 with 17 alpha builds distributed in 2022, and continuous development effort since 2019. We aren’t done yet, but today marks a major milestone on the road to Godot 4.0: the first beta is out!
Rémi Verschelde - 13 September 2022We're getting prepared for the imminent release of Godot 4.0 beta 1, and to do so we're having a (last?) alpha 17 release to ensure that things work as best as we can reasonably expect before the beta phase.
Rémi Verschelde - 7 September 2022One more alpha build on the way to Godot 4.0 beta! As we're getting closer we're also iterating faster to make sure that we spot and fix the most problematic bugs ahead of the beta phase, to enable broader testing.
Rémi Verschelde - 2 September 2022We released Godot 3.5 one month ago, and like any release, there are few rough edges to iron out which warrant making maintenance "patch" releases (3.5.x). A number of issues have been fixed already, so we're having a look at preparing the 3.5.1 update, starting with this Release Candidate.
Rémi Verschelde - 30 August 2022The past 2 weeks weeks have been BUSY! We've reviewed and merged a ton of Pull Requests to prepare for the imminent 4.0 beta release and make sure that we're as feature-complete as possible.
Rémi Verschelde - 11 August 2022We're working towards finalizing the feature set for 4.0 beta, reviewing many PRs which have been opened prior to our roadmap feature freeze announced a couple of weeks ago. While this process is ongoing, we'll keep releasing alpha builds so here's 4.0 alpha 14!
Rémi Verschelde - 28 July 2022We just announced that we'll enter feature freeze next week to focus on stabilizing the existing functionality in Godot 4.0 and prepare the first beta release. But until then we'll keep having alpha releases to test new features and fixes, so here goes 4.0 alpha 13!
Rémi Verschelde - 28 July 2022The 3.5-stable release is just around the corner! We fixed a few more regressions for Android scoped storage and UWP accumulated input, so another Release Candidate is needed to validate those finishing touches.
Rémi Verschelde - 22 July 2022Yet another Release Candidate for the upcoming 3.5 release, to validate a handful of regression fixes, notably for mobile devices (iOS input, Android I/O, Android S3TC compression support).
Rémi Verschelde - 19 July 2022While Godot 3.5 is nearing a stable release, we still want to provide relevant bug fixes to users of the current 3.4 stable branch who might not be ready to upgrade right away. It's been a long time since the release of Godot 3.4.4, and there are a few important fixes coming up in Godot 3.4.5.
Rémi Verschelde - 14 July 2022Another couple of weeks, another alpha snapshot from the development branch, this time with 4.0 alpha 12! Noteworthy changes: GDScript variable grouping annotations, full support for Android scoped storage, Font resource refactoring, lots of GDScript 2.0 bugs squashed.
Rémi Verschelde - 8 July 2022Another RC build for Godot 3.5, further improving various areas and default settings to ensure a great experience for current and future 3.5 users.
Rémi Verschelde - 1 July 2022Another alpha snapshot from the development branch, this time with 4.0 alpha 11! Noteworthy changes: exporting Node pointers as NodePaths, Movie Maker run mode, fixed release builds, AnimationTree advance expressions.
Rémi Verschelde - 27 June 2022Another release candidate for Godot 3.5, with another couple late but quite important changes for Android: full scoped storage support, and support for NDK r23. And another set of important bug fixes for rendering, navigation, and more!
Rémi Verschelde - 17 June 2022Another release candidate for Godot 3.5, after fixing our time to iron out some more bugs. Notable changes in this release include fixing a potential crash on Windows 11 on scenes using specific fonts, and a further refactoring of the new navigation system to make it closer to the version in Godot 4.0.
Rémi Verschelde - 15 June 2022Another couple of weeks, another alpha snapshot from the development branch, this time with 4.0 alpha 10! This release adds an initial implementation for Temporal Anti-Aliasing, as well as the first iteration of a command line tool to (partially) convert Godot 3.x projects to the Godot 4.0 API.
Rémi Verschelde - 2 June 2022New alpha build for Godot 4.0, fresh from the Godot Sprint in Barcelona where some core contributors are finally meeting IRL. Lots of editor, core and rendering improvements with an early version of the OpenGL 3D renderer!
Rémi Verschelde - 1 June 2022A new Release Candidate for Godot 3.5, fixing a handful of issues to get us even closer to the stable release. Notably, it fixes some rendering regressions with transparent materials, and crashing iOS templates and Web editor build in RC 2.
Rémi Verschelde - 24 May 2022Another release candidate for Godot 3.5, exceptionally with a couple new features backported from 4.0 (Label3D and TextMesh), and some important regression fixes (Bullet KinematicBody collisions, Windows build crash).
Rémi Verschelde - 18 May 2022The upcoming Godot 3.5 is now considered feature complete, and has received a lot of bugfixes and improvements over the past weeks thanks to all the testers and developers who reported and fixed issues. It's now time to move to the Release Candidate stage so that we can release 3.5-stable for all users.
Rémi Verschelde - 12 May 2022Another fortnight, another alpha snapshot of the development branch, this time with 4.0 alpha 8! It includes notably Text-to-Speech support on all platforms, and a refactoring of the module/extension initialization levels to allow more flexibility for third-party code.
Rémi Verschelde - 3 May 2022We're getting closer to the Godot 3.5 stable release with a fifth beta snapshot! This beta adds what should be the last batch of new features (together with *a lot* of bug fixes, as that's our focus at this stage), with scene unique node names and the new SceneTreeTween backported from Godot 4.0.
Rémi Verschelde - 28 April 2022This new 4.0 alpha 7 comes with one week delay on our every-other-week release schedule, but that means it got time for even more features and bug fixes to be finalized, reviewed and merged.
Rémi Verschelde - 15 April 2022Another beta build on the road to Godot 3.5. Things are shaping up nicely and we should soon be able to go for a Release Candidate.
