While this process is ongoing, we'll keep releasing alpha builds so here's 4.0 This alpha doesn't include official builds with.NET 6 support yet, as we still have more work to do to enable this. For users of previous alphas, we don't always have compatibility code to ease transition. alpha builds.

Over the course of the last four months the engine has seen many changes, making it more stable and feature complete, and it's getting very close to the state that we would be happy with. More engine enums are now bound with BitField, making their usage more type-safe, especially in C# ( GH-71037 , GH-71045 , GH-71116 ). beta releases.
