We're working towards finalizing the feature set for 4.0 beta, reviewing many PRs which have been opened prior to our roadmap feature freeze announced a month ago. Same deal as usual, lots of bugs fixed and more refactoring and feature work. Be aware that during the alpha stage the engine is still not feature-complete or stable.
