A long-standing Bullet regression has finally been fixed ( GH-56801 ), solving issues with KinematicBody collisions on edges (e.g. The fix seems relatively safe but this will require heavy testing to make sure it doesn't regress - if you have 3D games using Bullet physics, please try this RC 2 and report any issue.

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.

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

Previous engines we have developed (we as in Juan Linietsky and Ariel Manzur) did not really use this architecture and everything was provided via simple classes with inheritance and polymorphism. This was fine, as our engine ran in a single thread (which was common, as most CPU architectures were single-core back then).

Implement Particle Shaders, with support for: Sorting, Collision and Soft Particles. Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. In Godot, unlike in other engines, probes are also implemented as dual paraboloid. Other popular game engines present hard edges between one probe and the next.
