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.

Godot 3.3 has arrived, with a focus on optimization and reliability

Mircosoft Game Dev

APRIL 21, 2021

in January 2020, we switched the development focus towards the upcoming Godot 4.0 , which is a major, compatibility-breaking rewrite of the engine's core and rendering. Additional funding will enable us to hire more core developers to work full-time on the engine, and thus further improve its development pace and stability.
