March 2025 monthly summary for Redot-Engine and godot-website focusing on developer experience, performance, and branding improvements. Key deliverables include a comprehensive documentation overhaul across core components (Glow Upscale Mode, fixed_size, RichTextLabel, and CSGShape3D), editor UX enhancements (physical-key shortcuts for Q/W/E/R in the 3D editor and a new Paste as Unique option in the resource picker), texture import UX refinements (mipmap visibility updates without file changes and suppression of non-actionable toasts for 3D textures), performance optimization in low-processor mode (more efficient CPU sleep on Windows), and MovieWriter time display enhancements (frame remainder inclusion and division-by-zero fix). In addition, build profile handling was clarified by renaming the profile extension from .build to .gdbuild in a backward-compatible way. Website work included explicit links to experimental releases on the Download page and accessibility/branding updates (light theme readability improvements and Bluesky casing consistency). These efforts collectively improve developer onboarding, reliability of export metadata, editor/workflow efficiency, and brand consistency across the project ecosystem.
