When is the next release out?
-----------------------------
While Godot contributors aren't working under any deadlines, we have
historically had one major or minor release per year, with several maintenance
updates between each.
While Godot contributors aren't working under any deadlines, we strive to
publish minor releases relatively frequently, with an average of two 3.x minor
releases per year since Godot 3.3.
Starting with Godot 3.3, we aim to accelerate our development cycles for minor
releases, so you can expect a new minor release every 3 to 6 months.
Maintenance (patch) releases will be released as needed with potentially very
Maintenance (patch) releases are released as needed with potentially very
short development cycles, to provide users of the current stable branch with
the latest bug fixes for their production needs.
As for the upcoming Godot 4.0, we can only say that we aim for a **2022**
release, but any closer estimate is likely to be hard to uphold. Alpha builds
will be published as soon as the main features for Godot 4.0 are finalized.
As for the upcoming Godot 4.0, as of August 2022, we are aiming for a *beta*
release in Q3 2022, and possibly a stable release by Q4 2022 (but experience
has shown time and time again that such estimates tend to be overly optimistic).
