The release includes fixes for X11 forwarding and agent forwarding, a hybrid post-quantum algorithm, and a preference for AES-GCM over AES-CTR mode when selecting a cipher for connection. New features include the ability to match version, session type, and remote command types. Bug fixes include removing the assumption that sshd_config can fit in a socket buffer, preventing ObscureKeystrokeTiming mitigations, prohibiting comma characters in hostnames, and improving debug logging across sub-process boundaries. The release also includes improvements in debug logging across sub-process boundaries, requiring control-escape character sequences to be exactly two characters long, and preventing integer overflow in x11 port handling.

The second development snapshot of Godot 4.5 has been released for testing and represents a substantial update to the game engine, incorporating 250 enhancements and bug fixes since the initial 4.5 release. The community has developed a dedicated 2D navigation server, enabling users to selectively activate or deactivate navigation modules for both 2D and 3D environments. The editor experience for shaders and visual shaders has been restructured, incorporating numerous requested features and quality of life enhancements.
Godot now supports multiple languages; however, changing the current language dynamically within the editor is not feasible at this time. The matter was resolved in GH-102562, allowing users to switch to their preferred language during the same editor session. The implementation of the "Fragment Density Map" extension in GH-99551 enhances the Vulkan Mobile renderer, increasing its viability for VR on standalone headsets.

The release of FEX-2504 has brought forth a range of features, optimizations, and bug fixes tailored for PC gaming enthusiasts. The resolution of the audio issues in Slay the Spire represents a significant enhancement. The optimization eliminates x87 stack management from JIT code, which is a resource-intensive operation. The resolution was achieved by executing F{INC,DEC}STP instructions in reverse order within a specific code path. Another enhancement is the support for volatile metadata in Windows PE. The compiler from Microsoft produces "volatile" metadata, which is utilized alongside the ARM64 Prism emulator to prevent expensive emulation of the x86 memory model. This feature has been enabled by default since 2019, and FEX utilizes this metadata to enhance emulation performance. The release aims to encourage package maintainers to distribute Arm64ec WINE and FEX packages, enabling users to benefit from enhanced performance at no cost.
This month, the JIT has undergone optimization, concentrating on SHA256 instructions by utilizing ARM's equivalent instructions, which offer approximately the same functionality. The optimization has approximately doubled the performance of SHA256 during emulation. Furthermore, the implementation of support for ARM's FEAT_FRINTTS extension has been completed, offering instructions that facilitate the rapid rounding of float values into integer restricted ranges.
