Export options (convert textures, etc.) Automatic detection and reimport of many use cases for textures. Multiple editing of imported files is possible, so settings for several files can be changed at once by selecting them on the filesystem dock. Reimports will overwrite those meshes, though. Any PNG, JPG, etc.

AUGUST 9, 2016

Godot is used all around the world and, while it always supported Unicode, its reliance on font textures made it pretty difficult to support some languages (especially Asian). Editing such properties is possible too, but changes won't be saved (use regular live editing for this). Dynamic font support. Remote scene inspector.

Engine • Added DebugView at runtime UI control rendering debugging function. See the documentation “Render Debugging - Run Time Using Render debugging”: [link] • When the node animates, add the tween ‘destroySelf’ method to destroy the front nodal point. x users upgrade. Skip rendering when the UI element Opacity is 0.
