Add transparency support for LightmapGI Currently when baking lightmaps users have to choose between transparent objects casting shadows as if they were fully opaque, or not casting shadows at all. This has been a major limitation in both the quality of lightmap baking and the ergonomics of the lightmap baking workflow.

Runtime navigation mesh baking. Collision avoidance support. If you're unfamiliar with the concept of "servers" used in the Godot architecture, you can refer to this past devblog and the documentation. Some new concepts appeared in the Godot world - let's talk about these to get a good overview. What's new.

The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. Physics: Bullet: KinematicBody compound shape collision fix ( GH-56801 ). Fixes a lot of issues with KinematicBody collisions at the intersection between meshes when using Bullet.

A long-standing Bullet regression has finally been fixed ( GH-56801 ), solving issues with KinematicBody collisions on edges (e.g. The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. seen as small bumps between tiles on a GridMap).
