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.
