Good day, and welcome to Godot Daily for July 4th, 2026.
Today's biggest thread is validation catching real bugs. A texture type check added to uniform set creation exposed problems in two related pull requests. BastiaanOlij's PR 120876 fixed texture checks that broke under stereo rendering, where the wrong shader variant was being validated even though Vulkan let it…
The second theme is precision and correctness fixes scattered across rendering and physics. Mingxi-Z's PR 120884 fixed a half-precision overflow in mobile area lights by switching a calculation to float. Gaktan's PR 120901 revisited tangent and binormal encoding for vertex skinning, correcting flip-flopping sign…
A few editor stability fixes are also worth flagging. Crashes were fixed in Project Settings when an autoload gets freed early, in help search from duplicate cache keys, and in scene resource counting after scene reconstruction. Separately, KoBeWi's PR 120869 changed dock tab container slots to use plain integers, a…
On process, Repiteo continues batching cherry-picks for the 4.7.1 maintenance release, and CI got dependency bumps for SVGO and codespell, plus a cleanup of overly broad spelling exceptions.
