Our script editor maintainer, Paul Batty ( Paulb23 ), implemented initial support for multi-caret editing in TextEdit, which is therefore usable in the GDScript and shader editors, as well as any other multi-line text field in the editor. See this demonstration made by MewPurPur : Improved ColorPicker UX ( GH-62910 ).

Hiring a generalist contributor for editor UX and web dev. we want to move our texture compressors to GPU using compute shaders. We also discussed a proposal to further clean up the documentation and clearly separate more game-specific tutorials, as well as having a clearer way to link to content generated by our community.

New vertex formats allow many more custom shaders and cases to take advantage of batching than before, and optional 2D software skinning has been added which should allow using 2D skeletal animation on a far wider range of hardware than was previously available. The merged implementation is slightly different but the features are the same.
