Godot 3.4.3 was released less than 2 weeks ago, but a few significant regressions were found in that release, so we’re fast-tracking the release of Godot 3.4.4 to solve those.

This Release Candidate adds a handful of fixes, including several regression fixes. Please make sure to test it on your projects and to report any issue, so that we can release 3.4.4 stable in the coming days.

As usual, you can try it live with the online version of the Godot editor updated for this release.

Changes

Here are the main changes since 3.4.3-stable:

  • Animation: Fix cubic interpolate when looping (GH-58651).
  • Audio: Revert “PitchShift effect quality and performance tweaks for different pitch scale values” (GH-58668) [regression fix].

Downloads

The downloads for this dev snapshot can be found directly on our repository:

  • Standard build (GDScript, GDNative, VisualScript).
  • Mono build (C# support + all the above). You need to have dotnet CLI or MSBuild installed to use the Mono build. Relevant parts of Mono 6.12.0.158 are included in this build.

Note: The Windows builds are signed, but the certificate expired recently. We’re working on having it renewed, this should be fixed in time for 3.4.4 stable.

Bug reports

As a tester, you are encouraged to open bug reports if you experience issues with 3.4.4 RC 1. Please check first the existing issues on GitHub, using the search function with relevant keywords, to ensure that the bug you experience is not known already.

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 earlier 3.4.x releases no longer works in 3.4.4 RC 1).
