Godot 3.2.2 was released on June 26 with over 3 months' worth of development, including many bugfixes and a handful of features. Some regressions were noticed after the release though, so we decided that Godot 3.2.3 would focus mainly on fixing those new bugs to ensure that all Godot users can have the most stable experience possible. Here's a sixth Release Candidate for the upcoming Godot 3.2.3 release.

Dear Facebook: I am not on Facebook. Anyone on Facebook claiming to be Ron Gilbert and a game developer is impersonating me. It's frustrating because my friends think they are following me. They are not.
