Dev snapshot: Godot 3.1 alpha 2

A new development snapshot straight out of Godot's master branch is released, giving a preview of what Godot 3.1 will be. It's meant for testers to experiment with and report all the issues that they find with it, to ensure that Godot 3.1 will be a stable and pleasant release.

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.1 alpha 1

Godot 3.1 is shaping up nicely, and the master branch is finally ready for wider testing from the community. With this snapshot, we're entering the alpha stage and focus will now be solely on bug fixing and stabilizing the development version, up until we release Godot 3.1-stable.

Dev snapshot: Godot 2.1.5 RC2

Some love for the users of the old stable 2.1 branch: Godot 2.1.5 is still being worked on and we now have a second release candidate. If all goes well, the stable release should only be a few days away.

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.0.3 RC 3

Godot 3.0.3 RC3 is out! We've done a lot of work to make the mono export experience better for Windows users. Please help us test and debug this release!

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.0.3 RC 2

This is the second release candidate for what will become Godot 3.0.3. In this release we overhauled the new buildsystem (again) and fixed quite a few bugs. Please go forth and test!

HP van Braam HP van Braam  -  2 May 2018

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.0.3 RC 1

This is the first release candidate for what will become Godot 3.0.3. In this release we have initial support for Mono export for desktop platforms. Please test this release and report bugs!

Dev snapshot: Godot 2.1.5 RC 1

Feedback has been quite good on the past two beta builds for the upcoming Godot 2.1.5 (providing legacy support for users of Godot 2), so we're now publishing a release candidate. If all goes well (no new regression reported), that should more or less be the 2.1.5 final release. So make sure to test it thoroughly!

Rémi Verschelde Rémi Verschelde  - 15 March 2018

Dev snapshot: Godot 2.1.5 beta 2

One step closer to releasing 2.1.5 (our "old stable" branch) with this new beta 2 build! If you are still working with Godot 2.1 for any reason, make sure to give it a try and ensure that your projects still work as intended. If all goes well we will soon make a release candidate build and then the stable one.

Introduction and Godot 3.0.1-rc1

We've released the release candidate for the first patch release of the Godot 3.0 branch. This is what is going to be 3.0.1. We've added many fixes and some enhancements to make your lives as Godot users (even) better. Please see the article for details on the release and we'd like to ask all our users to test!

Rémi Verschelde Rémi Verschelde  - 19 February 2018

Dev snapshot: Godot 2.1.5 beta 1

As Godot 3.0 is a major release with compatibility breakage, we are still going to support the previous 2.1 stable branch for some time. Many fixes and enhancements have been done in the 2.1 branch since the release of 2.1.4 in August 2017, so it's time to get them tested widely to go towards a 2.1.5 release.

Rémi Verschelde Rémi Verschelde  - 24 January 2018

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.0 RC 3

Yet another iteration in the last week before 3.0 stable - this third release candidate should fix the main issues found in 3.0 RC 2, and bring us very close to what the stable release should be. Please test it extensively, it's (probably) the last call before takeoff!

Rémi Verschelde Rémi Verschelde  - 20 January 2018

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.

Rémi Verschelde Rémi Verschelde  - 14 January 2018

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.

Rémi Verschelde Rémi Verschelde  - 21 December 2017

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!

Rémi Verschelde Rémi Verschelde  - 30 November 2017

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.

Rémi Verschelde Rémi Verschelde  - 31 October 2017

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.

Rémi Verschelde Rémi Verschelde  - 26 July 2017

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.

Godot 2.1 RC1 is out!

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!

Juan Linietsky Juan Linietsky  - 12 July 2016

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!

Juan Linietsky Juan Linietsky  -  9 February 2016

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.

Juan Linietsky Juan Linietsky  - 26 January 2016

Godot 2.0 is now beta!

After a long, long time in development Godot 2.0 is now in beta!

Many more issues were reported issues after RC2, so we’ll be releasing one more candidate.
