While this is not a feature per se, it fixes a major annoyance that users have had with pointers to freed objects unexpectedly being re-assigned to new objects, causing hard-to-debug issues. this bug was fixed with a more comprehensive approach which prevents dangling Variant pointers in both release and debug builds.

Our SCons setup used to have tools and target options that were combined to build either the editor or the export templates, and define whether it’s a “release” or “debug” build. The “debug” term in that setup was quite ambiguous however and the source of a lot of confusion, as described in godot-proposals#3371.
