We are happy to announce that Heroic Labs is now supporting Godot's development as Platinum sponsor!

As part of the MOSS project sponsored by Mozilla, during July I worked on some new features regarding cryptography and SSL to improve the quality and security of Godot networking. Certificates and keys as resources. SSL certificates (in the form of *.crt files) and private keys (in the form of *.key files) are now treated as resources in Godot. This means they will be exported automatically and they can be loaded via the GDScript load() function.
