Maintenance release: Godot 3.3.2

Mircosoft Game Dev

Notably, Windows users could experience crashes when baking lightmaps. Import: Print a warning when importing a repeating NPOT texture in a GLES2 project ( GH-48817 ). Physics: Fix crash on debug shapes update if CollisionObject is not in tree ( GH-48974 ). was thus subject to this crash when baking lightmaps.

Godot 4.0 gets SDF based real-time global illumination

Mircosoft Game Dev

SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). This new technique was developed entirely in the open and implemented under our MIT license, so anyone is welcome to use it in their own engines and games. What can it do?
