GH-94783 ) Change NavigationMesh to also parse collision shapes by default. This is part of an effort to encourage users to use collision shapes for NavigationMesh instead of visual meshes as collision shapes are much simpler and thus more efficient for Navigation. ( GH-95013 ) XR: Disable hand tracking by default.
A couple fixes to the text resource loader which could impact notably reloading scripts ( GH-71170 ). Physics fixes and improvements for sphere-capsule, sphere-box, sphere-cylinder, and capsule-cylinder collisions ( GH-70660 , GH-70787 ). Physics: Fix sphere-capsule collision logic ( GH-70660 ). See the list below.

Physics fixes and improvements for sphere-capsule, sphere-box, sphere-cylinder, and capsule-cylinder collisions ( GH-70660 , GH-70787 ). Export: Fix missing “debug”/”release” export presets feature tags ( GH-71274 ).
Initializing class member variables can be quite of a hassle, code such as this is common in GDScript: The 'onready' keyword allows initialization of class member variables at the same time when _ready is called, saving some code: But doing this for autoloaded scenes can still be a hassle, as it has to be done every time a script is created.
A big thankyou to all the contributors who worked on this release by implementing bug fixes or features, or testing the changes to spot potential regressions and help debug issues. Debugging: Many improvements to the editor's debugger and display of complex types. Physics: Add one-way collision to tile-set/tile-map. Highlights.
Multi-caret support in TextEdit and script editors ( GH-61902 ). 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. GH-67128 , GH-67131 ).

Jānis will showcasing a cool set of tools that allow you to debug your game visually similarly to Unity's Scene view. Visual Debugger is a tool allowing developers to debug their Godot projects while the application is running in the editor or in a build. There are GPU accelerated particles in Godot, but they don't support collisions.
Animation: Fix AnimationNode has_filter not being called in scripts ( GH-64560 ). GUI: Expose Tabs set / get_tab_button_icon() to scripting ( GH-64707 ). Navigation: Exclude disabled StaticBody collisions from NavigationMesh baking ( GH-65775 ). Physics: Hack a hot fix for Bullet's collision margin regression ( GH-64875 ).
Raise errors when accessing deleted objects in debug. Physics: Many fixes to one-way collisions. Fixes to KinematicBody collisions. Cylinder collision shape for GodotPhysics. Raise errors when accessing deleted objects in debug. but going one step too far: in debug builds in 3.2.3, New CPU lightmapper.
Here are the 5 projects/students with links to the relevant sections in this post: Implementing a DAP backend for debugging Godot projects by Ricardo Subtil ( Ev1lbl0w ). Implementing a DAP backend for debugging Godot projects. Project: Implementing a DAP backend for debugging Godot projects. Branch: Ev1lbl0w/gsoc21-dap.
Editor: Fix logic for showing tilemap debugcollision shapes ( GH-49075 ). Editor: Add custom debug shape thickness and color options to RayCast ( GH-49726 ). HTML5: Debug HTTP server refactor with SSL support ( GH-48250 ). Physics: Heightmap collision shape support in Godot Physics 3D ( GH-47349 ).
As we progress through this tutorial series, I’ll be doing so with a focus on using no-code development tools rather than scripting to create games. Moving over to the right, you’ll see our workspaces , which we can toggle between to view our game or game scripts. So let’s jump in and start learning about Godot’s interface.
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.
Editor: Fix slow load/save of scenes with many instances of the same script ( GH-49570 ). Editor: Fix logic for showing tilemap debugcollision ( GH-49075 ). C#: Fix C# bindings generator for default value types ( GH-49702 ). C#: Ignore paths with invalid chars in PathWhich ( GH-50918 ).
As a side benefit, you can look at the script in the inspector and see the Entity’s id which may be useful for a variety of debugging purposes. Open the EntityViewProvider script and modify the SetView method to look like this: public void SetView(GameObject view, Entity entity, ViewZone zone) { if (!mapping.ContainsKey(zone))
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. C#: Allow debugging exported games ( GH-38115 ). Debug: Add a suffix to the window title when running from a debug build ( GH-33148 ).
Exporting C# projects to iOS should be done from macOS using the classical workflow , and the scripts will be automatically compiled Ahead-of-Time (AOT) for iOS. 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.

Revamped collision layer grid in the inspector. by calling queue_free() ) but is still accessed somewhere else in a script. 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.
To help with the common task of accessing specific nodes from scripts, Juan Linietsky ( reduz ) added the concept of "scene unique names" for nodes in the master branch ( GH-60298 ), and Tomasz backported it for 3.5. Debugger: Add --debug-server command line option to listen for incoming connections ( GH-60819 ).

Yuri did not stop there, as he also implemented many additional features for the classical script shaders , such as support for constants, arrays and varyings. On the debugging front, our contributor Joan Fons Sanchez added a new network profiler , which will help you monitor the bandwidth usage of your game in real time.
The engine should be able to render and simulate 200+ lightweight game objects -- frame-animated sprites with simple collision, no fancy physics or shaders. Construct : seems ok, and I think I could've gotten used to the visual block scripting, but overall the pricing and licensing feels weirdly restrictive. and no WASM.)
Godot can debug multiple instances of the game concurrently so we need multiple instances of the profiler. The documentation for the above piece of code will be generated as the script is being written, and automatically updated in the Help window. The added APIs are: For project scripts: tr_n(message, plural_message, n, context = "").
