At long last, after 2 years of development, Godot 3.6 is finally out!
Developing it in parallel to the 4.x branch proved to be a challenge,
as eventually I (Rémi) hardly had any time to focus on it.
Thankfully lawnjelly picked up the torch, both on the feature dev side
(most new rendering features are his work) but now also as release
manager for 3.x.
For anyone still using Godot 3.5 for their released or soon-to-be
published titles, upgrading to 3.6 should bring a lot of bug fixes, as
well as a number of useful features and quality of life improvements.
What a ride!
Developing 3.5 in parallel with the rapidly growing 4.0 alpha has
proved challenging, but here we are with a great feature update for the
3.x branch.
4.0 is getting close to beta, and now most contributors have switched
their focus towards that major update, and rightly so. Still, the work
that went into 3.5 is amazing and makes it a very strong and stable
solution for your games *today* -- while 4.0 takes the time it needs to
stabilize and mature.
A big thankyou to all contributors who worked on this release!
Using codespell 2.2-dev from current git.
Added `misc/scripts/codespell.sh` to make it easier to run it once in a
while and update the skip and ignore lists.
(cherry picked from commit 1bdb82c64e)
After the decision to continue feature development for the `3.x` branch
alongside the `master` branch for Godot 4.0, we released 3.3-stable in
April 2021.
6 months and 2000 commits later, Godot 3.4 is another feature-packed milestone
for Godot 3, with a ton of improvements and fixes to make it a great option
for use in production while we wait for Godot 4.0!
A big thankyou to all contributors who work tirelessly on our two parallel
development branches and made this stable 3.4 release possible.
Congratulations to everyone in the Godot community for this awesome new
release!
What started as a 3.2.4 maintenance update for the Godot 3.2 branch finally
evolved to be a very significant release which warranted a version change,
so here we are with Godot 3.3!
It includes close to 2000 commits from over 250 contributors since the 3.2.3
release in September 2020.
Thanks to all involved, whether you contributed code, documentation, bug
reports, translations, community support or donations. You all played a role
in bringing better free and open source game development tools to the world!
Congratulations to everyone in the Godot community for this awesome new
release, culmination of more than 10 months of development from close to
450 contributors!
Thanks to all involved, whether you contributed code, documentation,
bug reports, translations, community support or donations. You all
played a role in bringing better free and open source game development
tools to the world!
Godot 3.2 includes more than 6000 commits made since the 3.1 release in
March 2019, 3000 Pull Requests have been merged, and over 2000 issues
have been fixed!
This release builds upon the feature set and usability of Godot 3.1,
making it even more stable and powerful, and thus a very mature game
development tool for both 2D and 3D.
Now onwards to the 4.0 with Vulkan and a lot of modernization of the
codebase!
This also removes a duplicated line as `Camera.project_position()`
is now listed as a compatibility breakage. This is because the `depth`
argument is now required.
Congratulations to everyone in the Godot community for this awesome new
release, culmination of more than one year of development from close to
500 contributors!
Thanks to all involved, whether you contributed code, documentation,
bug reports, translations, community support or donations. You all
played a role in bringing better free and open source game development
tools to the world!
Godot 3.1 includes more than 7000 commits made since the 3.0 release in
January 2018, 3000 Pull Requests have been merged, and 3000 issues have
been fixed!
This release makes the 3.x branch more stable and powerful, and makes
it a very mature game development tool for both 2D and 3D.
Now feature development can restart towards 3.2 and 4.0!
