This makes sense of course, as it’s generally those users that have the familiarity necessary for major changes or additions that are commonly used for these highlights. That’s why it might surprise you to hear that visionOS support comes to us from <a href=https://github.com/rsanchezsaez>Ricardo Sanchez-Saez</a>, whose pull request <a href=https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/105628>GH-105628</a> is his <em>very first</em> contribution to the engine! It might <em>not</em> surprise you to hear that Ricardo is part of the visionOS engineering team at Apple, which certainly helps get his foot in the door, but that still makes visionOS the first officially-supported platform integration in about a decade.<p>For those unfamiliar, visionOS is Apple’s XR environment. We’re no strangers to XR as a concept (see our recent <a href=/article/godot-xr-update-mar-2025/>XR blogpost</a> highlighting the latest <a href=https://itch.io/jam/godot-xr-game-jam-feb-2025>Godot XR Game Jam</a>), but XR platforms are as distinct from one another as traditional platforms. visionOS users have expressed a strong interest in integrating with our ever-growing XR community, and now we can make that happen. See you all in the next XR Game Jam!<h3 id=gdscript-abstract-classes>GDScript: Abstract classes</h3><p>While the Godot Engine utilizes abstract classes—a class that cannot be directly instantiated—frequently, this was only ever supported internally. Thanks to the efforts of <a href=https://github.com/aaronfranke>Aaron Franke</a>, this paradigm is now available to GDScript users (<a href=https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/67777>GH-67777</a>). Now if a user wants to introduce their own abstract class, they merely need to declare it via the new <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">abstract</code> keyword:<div class="language-gdscript highlighter-rouge"><div class=highlight><pre class=highlight><code><span class=n>abstract</span> <span class=k>class_name</span> <span class=n>MyAbstract</span> <span class=k>extends</span> <span class=n>Node</span>

Estébanez</a> bring us another miracle of rendering via <a href=https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/102552>GH-102552</a>: shader baker exporting. This is an optional feature that can be enabled at export time to speed up shader compilation massively. This feature works with ubershaders automatically without any work from the user. Using shader baking is strongly recommended when targeting Apple devices or D3D12 since it makes the biggest difference there (over <strong>20× decrease</strong> in load times in the TPS demo)!<p><img src=/storage/blog/dev-snapshot-godot-4-5-dev-5/shader-baker.webp alt="Shader baker"><p><strong>Before:</strong></p><video autoplay loop muted playsinline>

<source src=/storage/blog/dev-snapshot-godot-4-5-dev-5/shader-baker-after.webm?1 type=video/webm></video><p>However, it comes with tradeoffs:<ol><li>Export time will be much longer.<li>Build size will be much larger since the baked shaders can take up a lot of space.<li>We have removed several MoltenVK bug workarounds from the Forward+ shader, therefore we no longer guarantee support for the Forward+ renderer on Intel Macs. If you are targeting Intel Macs, you should use the Mobile or Compatibility renderers.<li>Baking for Vulkan can be done from any device, but baking for D3D12 needs to be done from a Windows device and baking for Apple <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">.metallib</code> requires a Metal compiler (macOS with Xcode / Command Line Tools installed).</ol><h3 id=web-webassembly-simd-support>Web: WebAssembly SIMD support</h3><p>As you might recall, Godot 4.0 initially released under the assumption that multi-threaded web support would become the standard, and only supported that format for web builds. This assumption unfortunately proved to be wishful thinking, and was <a href=/article/dev-snapshot-godot-4-3-dev-3/#single-threaded-web-exports>reverted in 4.3</a> by allowing for single-threaded builds once more. However, this doesn’t mean that these single-threaded environments are inherently incapable of parallel processing; it just requires alternative implementations. One such implementation, <abbr title="Single instruction, multiple data"><a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_instruction,_multiple_data>SIMD</a></abbr>, is a perfect candidate thanks to its support across <a href=https://caniuse.com/wasm-simd>all major browsers</a>. To that end, web-wiz <a href=https://github.com/adamscott>Adam Scott</a> has taken to integrating this implementation for our web builds by default (<a href=https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/106319>GH-106319</a>).<h3 id=inline-color-pickers>Inline color pickers</h3><p>While it’s always been possible to see what kind of variable is assigned to an exported color in the inspector, some users have expressed a keen interest in allowing for this functionality within the script editor itself. This is because it would mean seeing what kind of color is represented by a variable without it needing to be exposed, as well as making it more intuitive at a glance as to what color a name or code corresponds to. <a href=https://github.com/dugramen>Koliur Rahman</a> has blessed us with this quality-of-life goodness, which adds an inline color picker <a href=https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/105724>GH-105724</a>. Now no matter where the color is declared, users will be able to immediately and intuitively know what is actually represented in a non-intrusive manner.<p><img src=/storage/blog/dev-snapshot-godot-4-5-dev-5/inline-color-picker.webp alt="Inline color picker"><h3 id=rendering-goodies>Rendering goodies</h3><p>The renderer got a fair amount of love this snapshot; not from any one PR, but rather a multitude of community members bringing some long-awaited features to light. <a href=https://github.com/RGDTAB>Raymond DiDonato</a> helped SMAA 1x make its transition from addon to fully-fledged engine feature (<a href=https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/102330>GH-102330</a>). <a href=https://github.com/LunaCapra>Capry</a> brings bent normal maps to further enhance specular occlusion and indirect lighting (<a href=https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/89988>GH-89988</a>). Our very own <a href=https://github.com/clayjohn>Clay John</a> converted our Compatibility backend to use a fragment shader copy instead of a blit copy, working around common sample rate issues on mobile devices (<a href=https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/106267>GH-106267</a>).

Be sure to make frequent backups, or use a version control system such as Git, to preserve your projects in case of corruption or data loss.</div><h2 id=known-issues>Known issues</h2><ul><li>Windows executables (both the editor and export templates) have been signed with an expired certificate. You may see warnings from Windows Defender’s SmartScreen when running this version, or outright be prevented from running the executables with a double-click (<a href=https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/106373>GH-106373</a>). Running Godot from the command line can circumvent this. We will soon have a renewed certificate which will be used for future builds.</ul><p>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 <a href="https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abug">known bugs</a>.<h2 id=bug-reports>Bug reports</h2><p>As a tester, we encourage you to <a href=https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues>open bug reports</a> if you experience issues with this release. Please check the <a href=https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues>existing issues on GitHub</a> first, using the search function with relevant keywords, to ensure that the bug you experience is not already known.<p>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).<h2 id=support>Support</h2><p>Godot is a non-profit, open source game engine developed by hundreds of contributors on their free time, as well as a handful of part and full-time developers hired thanks to <a href=https://fund.godotengine.org/>generous donations from the Godot community</a>.
