Good morning, it's Monday, October 5th, 2026, and this is Godot Daily.
Our lead story is stabilization: both maintenance branches advanced in parallel, with second-batch cherry-picks merged for future 4.6.4 and 4.7.3.
On October 4th, PR 124097 for the 4.6 branch and PR 124094 for the 4.7 branch were both merged. The summaries describe broad backports touching areas from physics and rendering to audio and core utilities. For developers, that means fewer regressions to work around on stable releases, and lower risk if you're…
Second theme: the 3-dot-x branch is still getting physics care. PR 124149 proposes a new wake neighbours option for collision objects, so moving a physics object directly by transform can wake sleeping rigid bodies it hits. Separately, PR 124164 ports a Character Body 2D and 3D performance fix to 3.x, avoiding…
Finally, correctness and polish across master. PR 124147 targets a race in the resource U I D path lookup, proposing a Rust-style owned mutex where data is only accessible through the lock. The author notes these threading crashes are rare and hard to reproduce, so a structural fix would improve editor and game…
What's next is validation: the mutex approach…
