Good morning developers, this is Godot Daily for June 2nd, 2026.
Yesterday's development centered on two key areas: editor polish and GDScript reliability fixes. The team merged 11 pull requests while keeping 19 more in active review, showing strong momentum on user-facing improvements.
The most critical fix addressed a GDScript coroutine bug in PR 119755. When coroutines completed, stack cleanup was happening before the completion signal was emitted, causing memory issues. This was a regression from earlier refactoring work, highlighting how stack management changes can have subtle downstream effects on the virtual machine's execution flow.
Editor usability saw significant attention across multiple areas. The inspector received several fixes: AudioStream filenames now hide properly when space is constrained in PR 119497, and spin sliders correctly show tooltips again after PR 119950 fixed an override issue. The remote debugger's scene tree now expands only parent nodes when selecting items rather than expanding everything, making navigation much cleaner as shown in PR 119919.
Export and project management also improved. The template manager now properly disables version switching during downloads in PR 119823, preventing state conflicts. A notable editor plugin regression was fixed in PR 117337, where removing controls from docks was accidentally freeing the passed control objects due to improper cleanup of wrapper nodes.
Several smaller but important fixes landed: Polygon2D culling against stale bounding boxes after vertex editing, BaseButton shortcut feedback being incorrectly affected by time scale, and various text and localization improvements in the scene paint editor.
Looking ahead, these stability improvements should reduce common editor crashes and make the development experience smoother. The GDScript fixes in particular address runtime issues that could affect deployed games.
That's your Godot Daily update. We'll be back tomorrow with more engine development news.
