It notably includes Bullet as the new 3D physics engine , onion skinning , autotiling for 2D tilemaps, an enhanced debugger with remote SceneTree edit, and nice usability improvements such as code folding in the script editor, PascalCase builtins for C#, and many others.

But the “1” in beta 1 means that it’s only the first step of the journey, and like for the alpha phase, we’re going to release new beta snapshots roughly every other week. And for people doing engine development, there’s a new dev_build option which can be used together with target to enable dev-specific code and also affects a few presets.

The first mode allows editing the atlas properties and creating/removing base tiles, the second one allows selecting and editing tiles properties, and the last one is to paint properties over the tiles. Note that, when editing a TileMap, you can replace all cells by their corresponding mapped value.

Until recently, editing tile properties needed to be done by selecting each tile and setting their properties one by one. While editing one tile's properties is useful, being able to set properties on several tiles at once makes setting up a TileSet a lot faster. It also works when editing a property in the tile selection mode.
