While this is not a feature per se, it fixes a major annoyance that users have had with pointers to freed objects unexpectedly being re-assigned to new objects, causing hard-to-debug issues. this bug was fixed with a more comprehensive approach which prevents dangling Variant pointers in both release and debug builds. Other changes.

Rendering: Portal occlusion culling. Such use-after-free access needs to be guarded with is_instance_valid(obj) , but this has been surprisingly difficult to get right due to a number of bugs and inconsistencies between debug and release builds. Portal occlusion culling. Core: Promote object validity checks to release builds.

Such pointer could be reported as valid even though the memory it points to was not, or worse, that memory could now hold a different object, leading to hard to debug situations. Thanks to the work of Pedro ( RandomShaper ), debug versions of Godot (e.g. C#: Allow debugging exported games ( GH-38115 ). feature set.

macOS: ARM64 build, code signing. Raise errors when accessing deleted objects in debug. Fabio Alessandrelli ( Faless ) has done a lot of work to enable running the Godot editor on the Web, using the same export code as for Godot-made games (since the Godot editor is developed 100% with the Godot API). iOS: New plugin API.

This document was written in hopes to find more developers that would like to help us write rendering code, as it explains the overall design. Ability to completely reimplement all rendering code if desired, without changing the underlying game. It is not possible to control, from user code, the internal steps of rendering.

Following on from the addition of OccluderShapeSphere in 3.4 , lawnjelly now brings us a more adaptable and easy way to add basic occlusion culling in the form of the OccluderShapePolygon. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. Add an Occluder node to your scene, and choose to create an OccluderShapePolygon. What is it?
