Our first development snapshot for #GodotEngine 4.6 has arrived!

As the feature freeze thaws away, so begins a small trickle of QOL and enhancements; a mere sample of the incoming torrent of changes 4.6 is sure to see

…200 PRs is small, right?

Yep! I’ve experienced the same thing. I can understand English perfectly, but YouTube still wants to dubs it for me.

Like, come on YouTube, I want to enjoy the content in its original language, not some robot-dubbed voice!

Tip: If you don’t want to set up a server, you can use a pseudo product ID "available_products" and store all currently active product IDs in its description. On app launch, query this product, read its description, and then fetch the actual products listed there.

Anish Mishra @syntaxerror247.bsky.social · Sep 1

Yes, you’re right. I tested by deactivating a product, but it still shows up in the query. Unfortunately, I haven’t found a way to check the actual status of a product. You may need to track it on your server or push an app update.

Anish Mishra @syntaxerror247.bsky.social · Aug 30

Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but I think you mean hiding a product in game by deactivating it in the Play Console? AFAIK when you query products, it only returns the ones that are currently active in the Play Console. So, that functionality is already supported.

I maintain this plugin and had tested it (v2.0.0) by uploading a demo project on playstore. It worked for me.
So, there might be some issue with your setup.

Update on my SVG editor app, VectorTouch.

If you saw my earlier post, you might be thinking "Wait VectorTouch? Wasn’t it GodSVG Mobile?"
Yes. It’s the same app, now with a new name, a new icon, plenty of UI/UX improvements.

Here’s the new logo, designed in VectorTouch itself.

I saw & reported that Godot outputted 2 GB+ of unnecessary intermediary Android build files…

… and it was fixed 3 hours later! non-dotnet Android builds will compile much faster in 4.5 because of it + you'll save disk space!
