⚠️ Important: Starting with dev 5, all resource types will generate .uid files, making references path-agnostic. These files are editor-only but should be added to version control for proper data sync.

We’d love your feedback on this change!

The theme for this #DevSnapshot is speed 🚂💨

Experience rendering, editor startup, filesystem operations, and more becoming faster than in previous Godot versions.

But that's not all! Read the #ReleaseNotes for more cards up our sleeve 🃏

We are happy to see big players in the games industry listen to community feedback and change for the better.

That kind of progress is something we hold in high regards, because making mistakes is unavoidable, but re-evaluating in response is truly key.
