Feb 1, 2025February 2025 was focused on stabilizing the Editor experience, hardening runtime robustness, and enhancing build configurability to reduce build size and improve dependency tracking. Key work included editor UI stability and UX improvements, a crash fix for the 3D Scene Debugger when no active camera is present, and significant build-system enhancements that support class-aware build configurations and lighter, configurable builds. Implemented GDScript class usage detection to improve build configuration, and disabled loaders/savers for disabled classes. Added flexible build options to compile without XR support and to exclude physics servers from templates. These changes reduce editor friction, prevent common runtime crashes, and give teams precise control over build size and feature set. Overall, deliveries moved the project toward faster iterations, more predictable deployments, and better resource management for various target configurations.
