The lead pattern is stabilization, not new features, with coordinated fixes to rendering backends, extended reality, and core platform dependencies.
First, compatibility rendering. Pull request 124750 moves the internal globals texture from a high binding slot to slot one, reducing collisions on Open G L devices that only guarantee 16 texture slots. Related, pull request 124764 corrects index buffer binding for the mesh surface index update, a pre-existing Web G…
Second, extended reality correctness. Pull request 124569 removes deprecated calls to get projection for view, which was breaking no-deprecated builds and was verified against mobile V R and Open X R. Pull request 124754 updates the X R editor to version 5.2 of the Open X R Vendors plugin, complementing spatial…

Pull request 124549 disables canvas item manipulation in native debug builds while…
What's next: two open proposals bear watching,…
