Compatibility

• Supports Godot 4.2.2+. 4.3 works with beta2, but isn't supported until it is stable.
• Includes binaries for Windows, Linux, macOS and experimental mobile platforms.
• macOS/iOS are unsigned universal builds. You may need to jump through Apple security hoops to use them. If you have problems, your best bet is to build from source.

Breaking Changes & Known Issues

• Thumbnail generation of the mesh assets in the asset dock is a bit wonky. Click Meshes or hover to regenerate.
• Internally, we restructured the classes so the major sub classes (eg Terrain3DStorage) has a link back to the Terrain3D instance in PR #371. This revealed a garbage collection bug (design choice) in Godot for C# users.
• The texture list from 0.9.0/1 should automatically upgrade to the new asset list. Open a scene, the console reports it detected the old version and asks you to save right away to upgrade. If you have multiple scenes sharing the same asset list, open and save to upgrade the first one. All of the other scenes will be broken, but you just need to quick load the asset list and save.
