Maintenance release: Godot 4.7.1

It’s been nearly four weeks since we saw the release of Godot 4.7, which has given our team ample time to prepare for its first maintenance release. This progress was made in tandem with Godot 4.8, whose first development snapshot released last week, and will hopefully see its second snapshot later this week. But for those sticking with the rock-solid foundation Godot 4.7 provided, only iterating...

Maintenance release: Godot 4.6.3

Progress on Godot 4.7 has continued without a hitch, but the need for more 4.6 maintenance releases remains ever-present. Our commitment to active support brings us to today’s release of Godot 4.6.3. ...

Maintenance release: Godot 4.6.2

While the majority of our team continues to focus on development snapshots for Godot 4.7, we still have a commitment to maintenance releases for the latest stable version. Specifically, our release support policy promises active support until the successor’s first patch release, so there’s still room for yet more maintenance releases in...

Maintenance release: Godot 4.5.2

While most users have upgraded their projects to Godot 4.6 by now, some have to stay on the previous 4.5 branch for various reasons, so we do our best to provide them with important fixes. Our release support policy is that we support a given stable branch actively until its successor has had its first patch release, which happened a month ago with 4.6.1....

Maintenance release: Godot 4.6.1

It’s been three weeks since the release of Godot 4.6, and we’re blown away by everything the community has already showcased in such a short time. And while Godot 4.7 is already well underway, a maintenance release for 4.6 was always set to release soon after. This release, Godot 4.6.1, addresses all the known show-stopping regressions and issues new to the Godot 4.6 release. We’d like...

Release candidate: Godot 4.7.1 RC 2

As distance from the Godot 4.7 stable release grows, so too does the amount of spotted regressions and subsequent regression fixes. We don’t have quite as many fixes to share compared to 4.7.1 RC 1, but there’s still enough to go around to warrant a second release candidate for this maintenance cycle. ...

Dev snapshot: Godot 4.8 dev 1

It’s been just over two weeks since we saw the stable release of Godot 4.7. In that time, we’ve been hard at working preparing for an upcoming maintenance release with our first 4.7.1 release candidate, and laying a strong foundation for what will become Godot 4.8. Last week already highlighted the former, so we’re opening the week strong with the latter: our first Godot 4.8 development...

Release candidate: Godot 4.7.1 RC 1

Ever since the release of Godot 4.7 just over a week ago, our team has been working nonstop in two critical areas: ensuring a strong initial development cycle for Godot 4.8, and polishing up the current stable release’s foundation for an upcoming maintenance release. We weren’t entirely sure which would end up coming to light first, but it’s now clear that the latter will be taking an early lead with our first 4.7.1 release candidate. We’d like to...

Release candidate: Godot 4.7 RC 3

Thank you to everyone who has participated in the release candidate stages of Godot 4.7! As a result of widespread adoption and testing, we were able to unearth and squash a handful of critical regressions that very nearly got overlooked. So while we hope to have a stable version out sooner than later, these fixes alone warrant at least one more snapshot, for good measure.

Release candidate: Godot 4.7 RC 2

This Monday featured the release of our first Release Candidate build of Godot 4.7. As a reminder: RC builds are when we believe the engine has stabilized and is ready for release, so it’s the last chance to report critical regressions before the stable version drops. ...

Release candidate: Godot 4.7 RC 1

We had a few false-starts along the way, but Godot 4.7 has at last reached the Release Candidate stage. This means that all of our planned features are locked-in, and no critical regressions remain. As such: production-ready environments can begin integrating at this time. HDR output support, the Godot Asset Store,...

Maintenance release: Godot 3.6.2

Although we fixed many of the major 3.6 bugs in Godot 3.6.1 in June, we have decided to make a new 3.6 point release in order to keep up to date with platform requirements. Google announced that from August 31, 2025 (with possible extension to November 1, 2025), apps and updates submitted to the Play Store must target Android 15 (API level 35) and support...

Maintenance release: Godot 3.6.1

Godot 3.6

Godot 3.6 was released in September last year, and it has been mostly stable, although there have been a few more important bugs which warrant a maintenance “patch” release (3.6.x). As well as bug fixes, this release also contains some cherry-picks from 4.x to update libraries. Let us know if you spot any regressions.

Godot 3.6 finally released!

After 2 years of development, Godot 3.6 is finally out and it comes fully packed with features and quality of life improvements! This includes 2D physics interpolation and hierarchical culling, and 3D mesh merging, level of detail, tighter shadow culling, ORM materials, and more. While most of the development focus today is on 4.x releases, enthusiasts have been busy improving the 3.x branch: fixing bugs, optimizing and increasing reliability, providing quality of life improvements, and adding new...

Maintenance release: Godot 3.5.3

Long time no see, Godot 3.5! While our development focus since Godot 4.0 in March has been to release new 4.x versions at a steady pace (with Godot 4.1 in July, and Godot 4.2 scheduled for November), we’re not forgetting about users who are still using Godot 3.5. ...

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.7 dev 1

Although the vast majority of contributors are busily working on Godot 4, a small problematic group refuse to stop improving Godot 3. Since Godot 3.6’s release in September 2024, we have been working hard on the new feature branch, 3.7. Although a number of features are still in preparation, there have already been a number of improvements since 3.6, so consider this a sneak peek at some of the advances that will be available. ...

Release candidate: Godot 3.6 RC 1

The upcoming Godot 3.6 is now considered feature complete, and has received a lot of bugfixes and improvements over the past weeks thanks to all the testers and developers who reported and fixed issues. We are now at the Release Candidate stage, finalizing everything so that we can release 3.6-stable for all users. ...

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.6 beta 5

It has been a while since our last beta, and admittedly 3.6 seems to have been in development for ever (beta 1 was over a year ago!). There are fewer developers now working on 3.x branch, and Rémi’s time has been largely monopolized by the huge growth in contributors to 4.x, and the consequent increase in his workload. For this reason we have been trying to get maintainers more actively involved in release management, which is allowing enthusiasts to take on more of the work, and get everything...

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.6 beta 4

Long time no see, Godot 3.x! While our main focus is on Godot 4.x with frequent feature releases (with the recent release of Godot 4.2 in November), we still have a number of changes backported to the 3.x branch or written specifically for that version, which we plan to release as Godot 3.6 in the near future. ...

Release candidate: Godot 3.5.3 RC 1

It’s been a while since our previous maintenance release for Godot 3! While the development focus is on the Godot 4 branches, we’re still making steady progress towards the Godot 3.6 feature release, currently in beta phase. But we also need occasional updates to the current 3.5 branch which is used in production by many. ...

Dev snapshot: Godot 3.6 beta 3

The core of the Godot development focus is on the upcoming Godot 4.2, currently with a 3rd dev snapshot. But we haven’t forgotten about the 3.6 release, which has a slow but steady influx of important bug fixes, platform improvements, and rendering features. Godot 3 is still very important for a significant part of the ecosystem - notably people with released games, games close to being released, or who need to target OpenGL 2 / WebGL...
