The fourth test version of Godot 4.5 is now available, bringing new features like support for embedded windows on macOS, moving 3D physics interpolation to SceneTree, the option to export variables as Variant, stackable outlines on Label, specular occlusion from ambient light, and improvements to the renderer.
Users of macOS have shown a keen interest in integrating their windows within the editor; however, this functionality is specific to the operating system and involves low-level implementation. Stuart Carnie implemented this feature in GH-105884, which operates differently from the implementations on Windows and Linux. The updated architecture for 3D physics interpolation effectively resolves the issue by transferring all logic to SceneTree while preserving the current API.
