This adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. In order to benefit you should be moving your objects and running your game logic in _physics_process(). This ensures your game will run the same on all machines. back in 2020!

The new 3D engine is outstanding, with many features out-of-the-box that are still not common in other mainstream engines. The new 3D renderer is state-of-the-art, with features rarely see in game engines today, such as: Full principled BSDF. Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects.

As much as we love exciting new features, we also want to see people create games on the full spectrum of devices for everyone to enjoy. Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. Notably, Godot's global illumination systems have been remade from scratch in the new release.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. Ability to completely reimplement all rendering code if desired, without changing the underlying game. As great as this is, though, only very high-end and high-budget games will really make use of it.
