Release Notes for Redot 4.3
After just about a month and a half, we are ready to present Redot 4.3 stable. There are been quite a number of trials on the way to this achievement but it's finally here! Now to present some notable additions and fixes over Godot 4.3:
- Customizable Horizon Color (#635):
- Additional input stage after physics picking (#747)
- Maximum traversals for AStarGrid2D (#750)
ColorPicker
RGB+RAW modes now can have overbright values (#778)- Optimized
String::replace
methods (#866) - Websocket no longer dropping messages for WSLPeer (#709)
- Calculate pixel snap in canvas space instead of world space (#746)
- Have
Projection::invert
work properly on orthogonal and other projections (#770)
These are only some of the most notable ones, whether specifically requested by users and associates, especially focused on by contributors, or which the ramifications themselves are rather large. Keep in mind this is not comprehensive of the impactful changes, just a highlight of what some users may be most interested in. Please keep in mind these are 4.3 focused changes, we desire to keep a semblance of stability going into Redot and compatibility switching from Godot, so do not expect for our changes to be Earth shattering compared to Godot 4.3, these vital changes were introduced especially for being small and light enough that the effect on stability be minimal.
