Dev snapshot: Godot 4.7 dev 4

As we edge ever closer to feature freeze, many of our contributors have been hard at work to get their highly-anticipated features in hopes of Godot 4.7 integration. Fortunately for them, we’ve managed to accomodate several of these proposals, and are excited to showcase them today! Your testing will be crucial to ensure that everything listed stays in scope for a 4.7 release, so be sure to give this latest build a spin after the highlights

Have you ever wondered why the inspector takes up so much negative space when working with arrays? Turns out it wasn’t done deliberately; it just so happened to be using the default offset of 0.5! Tomasz Chabora rightfully found this quite silly, and whipped up GH-118008 to rectify this oversight. Old New And more! There are too many exciting changes to list them all here, but here’s a curated selection: 2D: Rework TileSet editor proxy objects ( GH-117574 ). 3D: Add vector components to 3D ruler tool ( GH-106785 ). Editor: Add folding to the Visual Profiler tree ( GH-118120 ). Editor: Add type filters to create dialog ( GH-111518 ). Editor: Hide renderer selector in main editor window and add editor setting ( GH-117754 ). Editor: Make right-clicking on unfocused scene tabs possible ( GH-112919 ). GDExtension: Allow viewing GDExtensions from inside project settings ( GH-118063 ). GDScript: LSP: Calculate simple string insertions on the server-side ( GH-117710 ). Particles: Fix angular velocity ( GH-117861 ). NOTE: This is technically compatibility-breaking, but it’s bringing the functionality in-line with how its always been documented. Particles: Fix particles moving when timescale is 0 ( GH-109911 ). Platforms: Android: Allow implementing java interfaces from GDScript ( GH-115498 ). Platforms: Windows: Implement OneCore TTS support using C++/WinRT (no deps) ( GH-116349 ). Platforms: Windows: Use OneCore/WinRT emoji picker when available ( GH-116351 ).
