<p>Earlier this week the first beta of <a href="https://godotengine.org/article/dev-snapshot-godot-3-2-4-beta-1">Godot 3.2.4 was released</a> bringing several fixes and improvements as well as a few new features.</p>
<p>The primary features of the first Godot 3.2.4 beta from the <a href="https://godotengine.org/article/dev-snapshot-godot-3-2-4-beta-1">Godot blog</a> include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Android App Bundle and subview embedding support.</li>
<li>2D batching for GLES3 (remember that we added it for GLES2 in 3.2.2), and improvements to GLES2’s batching.</li>
<li>A new software skinning for MeshInstance to replace the slow GPU skinning on devices that don’t support the fast GPU skinning (especially mobile).</li>
<li>Several smaller fixes and improvements</li>
</ul>
<p>Downloads for all major platforms are available for download <a href="https://godotengine.org/article/dev-snapshot-godot-3-2-4-beta-1">here</a>. The major new feature of most interest to me is the new sprite batching, an optimization trick to improve 2D rendering speeds. In the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrM-dJklrZU">video below</a> we run the <a href="https://github.com/cart/godot3-bunnymark">popular Bunnymark test </a>on Godot 3.2.3 and the new Godot 3.2.4 and we saw respectable improvements.</p>
