The new container types are especially useful for dynamic content on different window sizes. Asynchronous shader compilation + caching (ubershader). A long awaited improvement to reduce shader compilation stuttering on OpenGL is coming to Godot 3.5, Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view.

Rendering: Portal occlusion culling. Shader language features. Portal occlusion culling. Up till now a significant missing feature in the renderer has been the ability to cull (prevent rendering) objects that are within the camera view, but occluded by another object (for instance a wall). Shader language features.

It's a long read, so here's a table of contents to easily get to a specific section: New physically based 3D renderer. Materials and shaders. Materials and shaders. In other engines, you have to provide many shader variants, mix HLSL with a metalanguage, error reporting is terrible and writing shaders is difficult in general.

New vertex formats allow many more custom shaders and cases to take advantage of batching than before, and optional 2D software skinning has been added which should allow using 2D skeletal animation on a far wider range of hardware than was previously available. Various light culling fixes. Many fixes to one-way collisions.
