+Happy new year, everyone! While most of our contributors were taking time off these past few weeks, there were still quite a few issues and regressions addressed in that time. As such, let's welcome in 2026 with a brand new build: 4.6 beta 3 has arrived! This iterates upon the relatively-stable [4.6 beta 2](/article/dev-snapshot-godot-4-6-beta-2/), so it won't be much longer before we're ready for the release candidate stage.
+
+Please consider [supporting the project financially](#support), if you are able. Godot is maintained by the efforts of volunteers and a small team of paid contributors. Your donations go towards sponsoring their work and ensuring they can dedicate their undivided attention to the needs of the project.

+## Known issues
+
+During the beta stage, we focus on solving both regressions (i.e. something that worked in a previous release is now broken) and significant new bugs introduced by new features. You can have a look at our current [list of regressions and significant issues](https://github.com/orgs/godotengine/projects/61) which we aim to address before releasing 4.6. This list is dynamic and will be updated if we discover new showstopping issues after more users start testing the beta snapshots.
+
+With every release, we accept that there are going to be various issues which have already been reported but haven't been fixed yet. See the GitHub issue tracker for a complete list of [known bugs](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abug).
+
+## Bug reports
+
+As a tester, we encourage you to [open bug reports](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues) if you experience issues with this release. Please check the [existing issues on GitHub](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues) first, using the search function with relevant keywords, to ensure that the bug you experience is not already known.
+
+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 previous 4.x releases, but no longer works in this snapshot).
+
