Godot 3.4 beta 2 is out improving web exporting, crypto, rendering improvements

Technically this is the first true Beta for Godot 3.4 as they mostly skipped the first when it had a major issue. Godot 3.4 is coming with some really great sounding improvements for this cross-platform free and open source game engine.

Unlike a lot of other game engines, Godot gives you full access to the source code. It's full supported across Linux, macOS and Windows for both the editor and game exports and its Linux support is top-notch. There's also no royalties to pay at any point.

Some of what's new and improved in Godot 3.4 Beta 2 includes:

• Animation: Add animation "reset" track feature (GH-44558).
• C#: iOS and Apple Silicon fixes (GH-49248).
  • macOS Mono builds are now universal builds with support for both x86_64 and arm64 architectures.
• Core: Make all file access 64-bit (uint64_t) (GH-47254).
  • This adds support for handling files bigger than 2.1 GiB, including on 32-bit OSes.
• Core: Add frame delta smoothing option (GH-48390).
  • This option is enabled by default (application/run/delta_smoothing). Please report any issue.
• Crypto: Add AESContext, HMACContext, RSA public keys, encryption, decryption, sign, and verify (GH-48144, GH-48869).

• macOS: Add GDNative Framework support, and minimal support for handling Unix symlinks (GH-46860).
• macOS: Add notarization support when exporting for macOS on a macOS host (GH-49276).
• Mesh: Options to clean/simplify convex hull generated from mesh (GH-50328).
• Particles: Add ring emitter for 3D particles (GH-47801).
• Physics: Fixing 2D moving platform logic (GH-50166).

• Rendering: Add soft shadows to the CPU lightmapper (GH-50184).
• Rendering: Combined the DOF far and DOF near passes (GH-50723).
• Rendering: Import option to split vertex buffer stream in positions and attributes (GH-46574).
