(it wasn’t until I previewed it that I realized the image was posting upside down, but I thought I’d leave it as a way of illustrating what this past year has been like

Godot 3.2.4 is going to be incredibly feature-packed, and we're taking the time necessary to ensure that it will also be stable. That's why we're releasing a fourth Release Candidate now, focused mostly on fixing issues reported against the previous RC 3. Thanks to all pre-release testers who help us find and debug regressions! Things should now be in a pretty good shape and we hope to be able to release 3.2.4 stable soon™.
