Godot 4.5 beta 3 has been released, following a successful beta snapshot that resolved regressions and implemented bug fixes. The community has diligently collaborated to implement these fixes, and the release is centered on resolving these issues. Notable updates since beta 2 encompass a refined camera position, enhancements in animation keying, resolution of audio issues, fixes for crashes in C# bindings generators, implementation of typed collections utilizing the same reference across scene instances, and improvements to the DotNet iOS export process. Additional enhancements comprise autocompletion, type resolution, and enhanced support for global enums within the GDScript editor.

Dev snapshot: Godot 4.5 beta 3

The previous  beta snapshot was one week ago, and you mean to tell me another one is here already? Indeed, the community has done a terrific job of reporting regressions and getting fixes integrated in record time! That release was also responsible for the last of the merge exceptions being integrated, so everything from this point forward will be strictly addressing regressions and bugfixes.
