As the Northern Hemisphere’s days get shorter and colder, we get closer to our much anticipated feature freeze. Dev 5 is jam-packed with new features and enhancements as contributors try to finish off their big contributions before we hit the feature freeze and Beta 1 shortly after. As a reminder, feature freeze is the period where we stop merging anything except for bug fixes as we shift our focus to polishing the existing code in preparation for release. We plan on entering our feature freeze on December 3 and only releasing one more dev snapshot before entering the Beta phase.

Please consider supporting the project financially, if you are able. Godot is maintained by the efforts of volunteers and a small team of paid contributors. Your donations go towards sponsoring their work and ensuring they can dedicate their undivided attention to the needs of the project.
