The lead signal is stabilization, with a broad first batch of cherry-picks for the 4.7 branch setting up 4.7.3, plus smaller fixes aimed at rendering correctness and editor reliability.
First, texture streaming and shader packing. Pull request 123662 reworks how the renderer estimates streaming level of detail, adding helper paths for simple U-Vs and for gradients needed by triplanar and biplanar mapping, to avoid picking the wrong mip level. That pairs with pull request 123656, which fixes a…
Second, editor workflow polish. Pull request 123655 adds semantic rename symbol to the G-D-Script text editor. Pull request 123657 makes code completion and hints draw above other interface controls, fixing cut-off popups reported in issues dating back to 104953. And pull request 123660 simplifies project tag…
Finally, performance guardrails and crash fixes. Pull request 123663 adds editor-only warnings when query parameter and result objects are allocated every physics tick instead of reused. Pull request 123658 fixes deferred documentation callbacks running after cleanup, which could crash headless cold starts loading a…
