This RC 6 has a few notable changes compared to the previous build: In RC 4, async shader compilation and caching was enabled by default on desktop, but several users reported issues with it on some hardware. You can enable it in the Project Settings ( rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_compilation_mode ). Estébanez ( RandomShaper )!

in January 2020, we switched the development focus towards the upcoming Godot 4.0 , which is a major, compatibility-breaking rewrite of the engine's core and rendering. Additional funding will enable us to hire more core developers to work full-time on the engine, and thus further improve its development pace and stability.

beta just yet as we expect the engine to be unstable until we have more testing done. Throughout the last two years the core of the engine has seen a lot of improvements and refactoring to bring it to the next level in terms of maintainability, reliability, and performance. We don’t recommend migrating large projects to the Godot 4.0

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. Rendering engineers are rare to find, so this can be a starting point. For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. Shader abstraction. On GLES2, regular uniforms are used.
