+Has it already been a whole month since [the last 4.7 maintenance release](/article/maintenance-release-godot-4-7-1/)? How time flies… Well, no time to dwell on the past; let's instead dwell on the past with yet another maintenance release: Godot 4.7.2!
+
+Maintenance releases are expected to be safe for an upgrade, but we recommend to always make backups, or use a version control system such as Git, to preserve your projects in case of corruption or data loss.
+
+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.
