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.

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.4 beta 6

One step closer to releasing Godot 3.4 with this new beta, which may be the final one before Release Candidate. The feature set for 3.4 is already pretty packed and it's more than time to get it released in the wild.

We released 3.4 beta 2 ten days ago as a first testing build for the upcoming Godot 3.4 (yes, beta 1 was skipped). Since then, many bugs have been fixed, including some related to upgrading our build environments. This beta 3 should be a lot stabler.

Release candidate: Godot 3.3 RC 8

Here's another Release Candidate fixing a few important issues prior to Godot 3.3-stable. We're now really close to calling it final, so it's probably your last chance to try the RC and thwart our hopes to release 3.3 soon ;)
