Time flies and it’s already close to two weeks since our first release candidate for the upcoming Godot 3.2.1, which will be a maintenance update focusing on bug fixes for Godot 3.2 users.
I planned to have 3.2.1-stable already released by now, but I was sidetracked by the refactoring work which is happening in the master branch for Godot 4.0 🙂

Since RC 1, a couple regressions have been fixed, and a few additional bug fixes, documentation updates and usability enhancements have been included. We now publish Godot 3.2.1 RC 2 to validate those additional changes. 53 new commits have been cherry-picked to the 3.2 branch, for a total of 171 commits since the 3.2-stable release.

Highlights

There are no huge changes planned in this release, but mostly a focus on fixing some blocking regressions and important bugs, such as:

  • Android: Fix double tap pressed event regression (GH-35701).
  • Android: Fix LineEdit virtual keyboard inputs (GH-35785).
  • Bullet: Fix detection of concave shape in Area (GH-33690).
  • Camera2D: Fix inverted use of Camera2D.offset_v (GH-36689).
  • Debugger: Fix crash inspecting freed objects (GH-36532).
  • Expression: Fix parsing integers as 32-bit (GH-36529).
  • HTML5: Fix EMWSClient::get_connection_status() (GH-36250).
  • HTML5: Fix touch events support with Emscripten 1.39.5+ (GH-36557).
  • Particles: Fix undefined behavior with atan in GPU Particles (GH-36031).
  • Skin: Add support for named binds (GH-36415).
  • TileSet: Hide TileSet properties from Inspector, fixing OOM crash on huge tilesets (GH-35908).
  • Video: Workaround WebM playback bug after AudioServer latency fixes (GH-35993).
  • Windows: Fix UPNP regression after upstream update (GH-35953).
  • Windows: Disable NetSocket address reuse (GH-36321).
  • Lots of documentation updates and UX improvements.

See the full changelog on GitHub for details.

Some new/improved features are planned further down the road for the 3.2.x releases, but the focus for 3.2.1 is on stability and fixing regressions.

Bug reports

As a tester, you are encouraged to open bug reports if you experience issues with 3.2.1 RC 2. Please check first the existing issues on GitHub, using the search function with relevant keywords, to ensure that the bug you experience is not known already.

In particular, any change that would cause a regression in your projects is very important to report (e.g. if something that worked fine in 3.1.x or 3.2 no longer works in 3.2.1 RC 2).
