Last week saw our first [Release Candidate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Release_candidate) snapshot for [4.5.1](/article/release-candidate-godot-4-5-1-rc-1/), and in that time there have been even more critical bugfixes suitable for backporting. As such, we're doing one more pass for good measure: 4.5.1-rc2 has arrived! Our top priority is ensuring the hotfix release is as stable as possible, so be sure to test and report any issues that aren't present in 4.5-stable.
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 Release Candidate stage, we focus exclusively on solving showstopping regressions (i.e. something that worked in a previous release is now broken, without workaround). 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 4.5.1. This list is dynamic and will be updated if we discover new showstopping issues after more users start testing the RC 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).
## Support
