LogInThe upcoming Godot 3.6 is now considered feature complete and the developers invite users to try the Release Candidate to help catch any remaining bugs.
While most of the engine development focus is on Godot 4.3, some dedicated contributors allocate time to finalizing 3.6 for many users who still have games in production using Godot 3. The launch of Godot 3.6 is drawing closer with a new Release Candidate, which still requires finishing touches before it's available to everyone.
Over the past weeks, Godot 3.6 received a lot of bug fixes and improvements thanks to all the testers and developers who reported and fixed issues. The developers invite more users to test this release and potential follow-up RCs on as many projects as possible, to uncover non-obvious regressions that might have gone unnoticed until now and report any problems.

- 2D physics interpolation

- Mesh merging
- ORM materials
