In connection with the release of the beta version of the long-awaited Godot 3.0 I want to ask:

  1. Yes, I understand that this is not a release but a beta version signifies that backwards compatibility will not be broken in the release? (as it was a statement in the alpha versions)?

  2. For porting projects should use the tool in Godot 2.1 or is there a more recent tool?
