+
+We've just released [Godot 4.0](/article/godot-4-0-sets-sail/) after 3+ years of intense development! This is the start of the Godot 4 journey, and there is still need for a few iterations for the 4.x branch to be as stable and reliable as the existing 3.5 branch.
+
+As such, it's natural that existing Godot 3.5 users would prefer to stay on that version for a while, and we're determined to provide them with bugfix releases. This 3.5.2 maintenance release fixes a handful of issues which have been solved in the past few months in parallel to Godot 4.0 development, and could be backported to the 3.5 branch. Nothing fancy, but a welcome upgrade from 3.5.1.
+
+**This is a safe and recommended update for all Godot 3.5.x users.** It should have no major impact on your projects, even complex ones in production, if you're already using 3.5.1-stable.
+
+[**Download Godot 3.5.2 now**](/download/3.x/) or try the [online version of the Godot editor](https://editor.godotengine.org/3.5.2.stable/).
