Dev snapshot: Godot 3.2.2 beta 2

After refining our Godot 3.2 release with bug fixes in 3.2.1, we're now looking at integrating some new features that didn't make it into the 3.2 merge window but have been further developed and backported since. We published a first beta a few weeks ago, and here's the next round with Godot 3.2.2 beta 2.

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.2.2 beta 1

After refining our Godot 3.2 release with bug fixes in 3.2.1 last month, it's time to integrate some of the new features that didn't make it into the 3.2 merge window. Notably, Godot 3.2.2 is going to add three major features: C# support for the iOS platform, 2D batching for the GLES2 renderer, and a re-architecture of the Android plugin system.

Release candidate: Godot 3.2.1 RC 2

Time flies and it's already close to two weeks since our first release candidate for the upcoming Godot 3.2.1, which will be a maintenance update focusing on bug fixes for Godot 3.2 users. Since RC 1, a couple regressions have been fixed, and a few additional bug fixes, documentation updates and usability enhancements have been included. We now publish Godot 3.2.1 RC 2 to validate those additional changes.

Release candidate: Godot 3.2.1 RC 1

Here's a first Release Candidate for the upcoming Godot 3.2.1 maintenance release, which fixes various issues reported against the recently released version 3.2. Please test it to ensure that everything works as expected before we push the stable release.

Release candidate: Godot 3.2 RC 4

Last check before takeoff! This 4th release candidate should be the last one, meant to validate the current state of the `master` branch before releasing it as 3.2-stable! It's the last chance to test the new release and report any critical issue, otherwise its fix will have to wait for the 3.2.1 maintenance update in coming weeks.

Rémi Verschelde  - 24 January 2020

Release candidate: Godot 3.2 RC 3

Third time's the charm, as they say! This third Release Candidate brings a number of bug fixes which have been contributed in the past week and are worth having in the upcoming 3.2 release. This new build should help validate them while also giving some more time to testers to find potential other regressions from Godot 3.1. The stable 3.2 release is now just around the corner :)

Rémi Verschelde  - 20 January 2020

Release candidate: Godot 3.2 RC 2

At long last, Godot 3.2 is nearing completion and we are happy to publish this second Release Candidate, to encourage a broad testing of what should become Godot 3.2-stable in coming days. RC 2 fixes a regression for some users with the GLES3 renderer, which preventing opening a project using the default environment due to heavy calculations for the irradience map generation.

Release candidate: Godot 3.2 RC 1

At long last, Godot 3.2 is nearing completion and we are happy to publish this first Release Candidate, to encourage a broad testing of what should become Godot 3.2-stable in coming days. Godot 3.2 ends up being much bigger than we originally intended, but the 10 months of development amount to a major release that will be well worth upgrading to for any Godot user.

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.2 beta 6

After a very busy week with many important bug fixes (plus a bunch of low risk enhancements and a lot of documentation updates), here's Godot 3.2 beta 6! As mentioned in the previous post, we're close to the Release Candidate stage and I hesitated to name this build as such. Since there were a number of big changes though I opted for making it another beta, and if all goes well testing it we should have a RC 1 in coming days.

Rémi Verschelde  -  3 January 2020

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.2 beta 5

Happy new year! After a brief holiday where contributors kept fixing many issues, we now release Godot 3.2 beta 5 to iterate upon the relatively good state that we had with the previous beta. Both the master branch and the official buildsystem are now starting to be quite reliable, and we should be ready for a release candidate soon.

Rémi Verschelde  - 18 December 2019

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.2 beta 4

After another two weeks since our previous beta build, here comes Godot 3.2 beta 4, bringing back the Mono build for all supported platforms (including Android and WebAssembly, new in Godot 3.2).

Rémi Verschelde  -  4 December 2019

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.2 beta 3

Many fixes have been applied since our previous beta build, encompassing rendering issues, port-specific issues notably on iOS and Windows, and many other fixes all around the editor. Due to issues with our build process, this release does not include the usual Mono build, but we are hard at work to fix it and provide a Mono build again with 3.2 beta 4.

Rémi Verschelde  - 22 November 2019

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.2 beta 2

We now release Godot 3.2 beta 2 with two weeks of bug fixes over the previous snapshot. Notable changes include the addition of WebAssembly export templates for the Mono build, as well as C# 8 support via Mono 6.6.0 Preview.

Release candidate: Godot 3.1.2 RC 1

It's been over 6 months since Godot 3.1.1-stable, so the upcoming 3.1.2 release is both long overdue and accordingly packed with important bug fixes and enhancements. As we cherry-picked close to 400 commits to the 3.1 branch since the previous release, extensive testing is necessary to ensure that no regression crept in under disguise of a bugfix. This is why we publish this release candidate for 3.1.2 to gather test reports from the community.

Rémi Verschelde  -  6 November 2019

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.2 beta 1

After three well-tested and quite stable alpha builds, we're now ready to enter the beta stage for the upcoming Godot 3.2 release. The beta stage corresponds for us to a release freeze, which means that we will only consider critical bug fixes for merging in the master branch, and that until Godot 3.2 is released.

Rémi Verschelde  - 24 October 2019

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.2 alpha 3

While many core contributors were busy with the Godot Sprint and GodotCon last week, the rest of the world has not been idle and we got lots of nice contributions fixing bugs and improving usability. We thus publish Godot 3.2 alpha 3 as our next iteration, fixing various issues from the last build. 150 commits have been merged since 3.2 alpha 2.

Rémi Verschelde  - 11 October 2019

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.2 alpha 2

It's been less than a week since we published Godot 3.2 alpha 1 as a first development snapshot towards the stable release. But as mentioned, we want to have builds frequently to iterate and improve the stability on a weekly basis, so here comes 3.2 alpha 2. As that branch is already quite mature, this should allow us to publish Godot 3.2-stable in a few weeks.

Rémi Verschelde  -  6 October 2019

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.2 alpha 1

After close to 7 months of development and over 4,000 commits since the 3.1 release, we are now happy to release Godot 3.2 alpha 1, our first milestone towards the next stable installment of our free and open source game engine. It brings new features such as an Android plugin/custom build system, C# support for Android, WebRTC support and WebSocket improvements, a fully reworked Visual Shader editor, ARKit and Oculus Go/Quest support and many more.

Dev snapshot: Godot 2.1.6 RC 1

It's been a long time since our previous release in the 2.1 branch! The upcoming 2.1.6 release is intended to address new requirements from Google Play and Apple store, as well as update thirdparty libraries to recent versions to fix known security vulnerabilities (in particular in libpng and openssl).

HP van Braam  - 23 April 2019

Release candidate: Godot 3.1.1 RC 1

Welcome to Godot 3.1.1-rc1. In this release candidate we fix a security issue, add many nice new features, and fix many bugs. Please test and let us know how we did!

Rémi Verschelde  - 12 March 2019

Release candidate: Godot 3.1 RC 3

All good things come in threes, so after our first two release candidates, here is Godot 3.1 RC 3. We've reached a state which we think should be good to release as the stable branch, so if no critical regression is found, the next build should be 3.1 stable!

Rémi Verschelde  - 10 March 2019

Release candidate: Godot 3.1 RC 2

We had our first release candidate for Godot 3.1 two days ago, and various critical bugs have been fixed since then, so we're publishing a new candidate, RC 2. Please give it a try on various devices and platforms, and ensure that no critical issues have been missed.

Rémi Verschelde  -  8 March 2019

Release candidate: Godot 3.1 RC 1

After over one year of work, 5 alpha releases, 11 betas and 7000 commits by close to 500 contributors, we're finally ready to wrap up the 3.1 version and let you all benefit from the hundreds of new features, enhancements and bug fixes that have been worked on by the community since January 2018. We're therefore publishing this first release candidate, Godot 3.1 RC 1, to let all of you test it thoroughly and check if any showstoppers remain. The final release is a but few days away!

Rémi Verschelde  -  5 March 2019

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.1 beta 11

One (hopefully) last beta was needed to test the many last-minute bug fixes done over the last few day, which brought the 3.1 version very close to what we want the final version to be. But any heavy bugfix requires QA testing to ensure that it does not introduce regressions, so we're publishing a new 3.1 beta 11 build to have the community confirm if it's ready for the Release Candidate stage.
