It’s been just over two weeks since the release of Godot 4.5, and the overwhelmingly positive community response has been an absolute treat to behold! Our hard-working contributors have taken this energy to kick-start the development phase of Godot 4.6, resulting in our first snapshot coming out earlier this week.

The first development snapshot for 4.6 has arrived!
