Good morning, it's October 23rd, 2026 — this is Godot Daily.
The throughline today is reliability: sleeping bodies that should wake, and headsets and renderers that should not crash, misvalidate, or waste work.
First, physics wake behavior. Two efforts tackle kinematic platforms failing to wake rigid bodies resting on them, which left bodies floating when the platform moved or was removed. PR 124804 addresses this in Godot Physics in 2D and 3D, while PR 124687, now merged to 3.x, fixes the same class of problem for moving…
Second, XR and renderer correctness. PR 124776 fixes an OpenXR exit crash, and follow-up work tightens foveated rendering, including PR 124747 ensuring subsampled images have no effect when foveation itself is disabled. A separate fix corrects auto-exposure validation errors when XR multiview is active. On desktop…
Finally, capabilities and dependencies. PR 124802 proposes an FFmpeg movie writer to replace huge Motion JPEG, image-sequence, and OGV outputs with modern compressed video and audio. PR 124801 proposes a simplified multiplayer API for replicating metadata across peers without the full remote-call and synchronizer…
Also merged: fixes for Tree selection…
