Super nice! I'm really curious about all the new features and can't wait to try them. I wonder if it's safe to switch early or whether it's best to wait for the release (I am very early in the dev process).

It's usually fine to switch but if you don't know what new features you'd use, don't upgrade. There isn't a reason to.

Thank you! I'm already planning to upgrade next month when it's out, so I'm wondering if it's stable enough to do it right now or whether it's safer to wait.

It's always best to use source control, upgrade and check it out for yourself then commit or don't commit the upgrade and hard reset. That said even godot 4s beta was fairly stable.

[–] Panda@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I might just do that. I did also use the 4 and and 4.1 betas and it wasn't giving me too many issues.

What do you think of 4.2 (so far) compared to 4.1?

[–] MJBrune@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

There hadn't been a feature I've absolutely needed yet so I've not upgraded. I'll probably keep on 4.1.1 for now.
