The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. For more advanced use cases, you can use TextMesh to generate 3D meshes from font glyphs, so you can add WordArt to your scenes ;). The whole API is now a lot more flexible than it used to be.

In order to understand them and become a wizard/witch, we have to learn a bit about meshes first. A mesh is made (usually!) You can see the mesh as the structure of your object, built by combining its triangles together. Now that we’ve scratched the topic of meshes, we can finally talk about shader. Shaders Theory.

This was a necessary change for many reasons: It's much, much simpler to write import/export code this way. If you care about using meshes separately, it is also possible to tell Godot to save them as files. Reimports will overwrite those meshes, though.
