Another gift for those who make 2D games:
-Edit polygons, concave or convex, color them, texture them and uv-map them
-Corresponding editor
-Can have a custom pivot, so they are compatible with bones and IK
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=
-Ability to set 2D nodes as bones
-Abity to set 2D nodes as IK chains
-2D IK Solver
-Improvements in the UI for adding keyframes (separate loc,rot,scale buttons)
-=-=-=-=-
-Documentation now shows overridable theme values (though this needs to be documented).
-Detect when object transform is flipped and flip normals too.
-TileMap can specify bounce and friction for collision.
-Removed limit of 4 lights per object
-Added is_hovered() to buttons.
==========
-NOTIFICATION_WM_QUIT fixed on android (seems tha way this is reported changed in newer sdk)
-WIP implementation of APK Expansion APIs for publishing games larger than 50mb in Play Store
-Feaures in the new tutorials are all present in the sourcecode
-This (hopefully) should get rid of the animation list order getting corrupted
-Improved 3D Scene Importer (Skeletons, Animations and other stuff were not being merged). Anything missing?
-In code editor, the automatic syntax checker will only use file_exists() to check preload() else it might freeze the editor too much while typing if the preload is a big resource
-Fixed bugs in PolygonPathFinder, stil pending to do a node and a demo
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-If re-importing from the "dependency changed" dialog, edited scene will keep the local changes.
-Imported scene will keep track of changes in the source asset
-Geometry changes in source geometry or nodes with a different transform will be updated.
-Materials will be kept if changed locally.
-New nodes added will be kept
-If nodes were reparented or renamed, they will still keep track
-Deleted notes will be restored, use the -noimp option to avoid this.
-In general, you can trust that if you do local modifications to the imported scene, they will not be erased after re-import.
-Erasing your changes is done by re-importing from the "Re-Import" menu, re-opening the "Import 3D Scene" dialog. This wil re-import fresh.
Overall, This should allow you to work on a scene and see changes made to 3D assets in real-time.
So Please test!!

-More parameters to ESM shadows
-LightMap Octree now can bake to "hdr" (use HDR8 for now)
-New resource PolygonPathFinder, polygon based pathfinder using A-star algorithm. (will add nodes to use it more easily soon)
-=-=-=-=-=-
-ESM Shadow Mapping for softer and less glitchy shadows
-HDR Pipeline (convert to Linear on texture import, convert to SRGB at the end)
-Fix to xml parse bug
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-Sprite3D and AnimatedSprite3D support.
-Opaque pre-pass works, is compatible with shadows
-Improved shadow map rendering (can differentiate between plain opaque and opaque with shaders/discard/etc)
-Added option to use alpha discard in FixedMaterial
-Improved Glow FX, many more options (three modes, Additive, Screen and SoftLight), strength and scale
-Ability for Background (image or cubemap) to send to glow buffer
-Dumb Deploy of clients now actually works in Android
-Many Many rendering fixes, 3D is much more usable now.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-Auto indenter in code editor, this makes it much easier to paste external code.
-Zoom in 2D viewport now uses the mouse pointer as reference.
-Obscure hack to see where code/line of GDScript in C++ backtrace.
-Fixed a bug where keys would get stuck on X11 if pressed simultaneously
-Added Api on IP singleton to request local IPs.
-Premultiplied alpha support when importing texture, editing PNGs and as a blend mode.
-IMA-ADPCM support for samples, this means that sound effects can be compressed and use 4 timess less RAM.
-New 3D import workflow based on Wavefront OBJ. Import single objects as mesh resources instead of full scenes. Many people prefers to work this way. Just like the rest of the imported resources, these are updated in realtime if modified externally.
-Mesh resources now support naming surfaces. This helps reimporting to identify which user-created materials must be kept.
-Several fixes and improvements to SurfaceTool.
-Anti Aliasing added to WorldEnvironment effects (using FXAA)
-2D Physics bodies (RigidBody, KinematicBody, etc), Raycasts, Tilemap, etc support collision layers. This makes easy to group which objects collide against which.
-2D Trigger shapes can now also trigger collision reporting in other 2D bodies (it used to be in Area2D before)
-Viewport render target textures can now be filtered.
-Few fixes in GDscript make it easier to work with static functions and class members.
-Several and many bugfixes.
Disalbe auto code completion even there's only one option
Hide auto-completion if only one completion option and it's been typed
Support use tab key to accept code completion option
-Object Manipulator Gizmo keeps proper scale in all windows and projections, (configurable on settings too).
-Manipulator gizmos for other objects (camera, shapes, etc) massively improved and bug-fixed.
-Manipulator gizmos are different for edited object and other objects.
-Properly highlight manipulator gizmo handles when hovered.
-Fixed bugs in fragment program when using more than 1 light together.
-Reload png/jpg files automatically in editor if edited externally.
-Added 4-stages Parallel Split Shadow Mapping, to improve shadow quality in large scenarios
-Added PCF13 to improve smoothness of shadow borders
-General optimization of directional light shadow mapping for Orthogonal,PSM and PSSM.
-Fixed normal mapping when importing DAE files, works nicely now.
I noticed a bug where I could close Godot while I was running a project.
If the program was left running and then ran into an error,
or if an error was caught by the debugger and then I quit Godot,
I could no longer close the running project without manually killing it.
This fixes that problem by essentially hitting the Stop button automatically
just prior to quitting the editor.
-Added new screen resizing options, stretch_2d is removed, new much more flexible ones.
-Fixed bug in viewport (can create more instances in 3d-in-2d demo now)
-Can set android permissions and screen sizes manually in the export settings
-Changed export templates extension to .tpz (too many people unzipped the manually..)
-File dialog now ensures that the proper extension is used (will not allow to save without it)
-Fixed bug that made collision exceptions not work in 2D
Shows the project name in the window title (good to differentiate multiple instances of Godot with different projects loaded).
Clears the previous scene name from the window title when creating a new scene.
-Detect when free() might crash the project and throw error
-fixed 2D Bounce in physics (3d still broken)
-renamed “on_top” property to “behind_parent”, which makes more sense, old on_top remains there for compatibility but is invisible.
-large amount of fixes
