  Script backtracing, gives developers the exact details on where an issue happened in the code. Even in "Release" builds.[^script-backtracing-enable]

  Custom loggers allow developers to intercept log messages and errors. That makes it possible to create a tool for reporting bugs within your game.

  Developers and players will now be able to report issues containing more accurate information of its origin.

  [^script-backtracing-enable]: Make sure that the _Debug > Settings > GDScript > Always Track Call Stacks_ project setting is enabled.
