The upcoming Godot 3.4 release will provide a number of new features which have been backported from the 4.0 development branch (see our release policy for details on the various Godot versions). With this third Release Candidate, we have frozen featur…

Right now X3D nodes cost too much in memory — which limits some use-cases (when spawning a lot of TCastleScenes would be the most natural solution), and it affects both loading and runtime performance (as loading is slower …

We also fixed occlusion query for shapes with blending, and made it behave correctly when batching is used (right now, batching has to be disabled for the scenes that use occlusion query). On a more general note: Sorry for the relative silence …
