Added

Audio

  • This can be used to speed up compile times when working on the engine itself and when debug checks/features aren't desired.

Core

• New dynamic BVH for rendering and the GodotPhysics backends.
  • If you experience a regression in either physics or rendering, you can try these Project Settings to revert back to the previous Octree-based approach and possibly fix the issue. In either case, be sure to report the problem on GitHub.
