4.9.0
Github Release Link
Dec 23, 2025, v4.9.0, 43ca7ef
4.9.0
### Highlights
- Added RWReference and RWResource classes.
It's a Reference and Resource class that contains an RWLock.
- Implement code completion for gdscript enums.
- Backported the CameraServer from godot 4. Changes:
- It's 2 modules: camera_server, camera_drivers.
- It uses Image-s instead of textures in the rendering server.
- Other api cleanups.
### Breaking Changes
- Removed to_json() member methods instead of deprecating them.
- This is because gdscript has the built-in to_json method. So to_json()
member methods cannot really be created. (They technically can be done,
but then the global to_json() cannot be called.).
- Only 3 classes are affected (TOTP, User, HTTPSession).
- Also these methods were likely never used, other than from the c++
side.
- If they were, a project wide search and replaces should fix all
issues: .to_json() -> .as_json()
### Core
- Added RWReference and RWResource classes.
It's a Reference and Resource class that contains an RWLock.
- Added missing conversions for can_convert.
- Handle StringNames in Expression's funcrefs.
### Editor
- Fix editor theme names.
- Added back Godot 3 theme.
- Cleanups to create_editor_theme().
- Rename GODOT_LICENSE_TEXT constant to PANDEMONIUM_LICENSE_TEXT.
- Update docs for Engine's get_author_info().
- Fix the encoding of Engine::get_license_text().
- Respect the scene name casing setting in the script create dialog.
Maybe this setting could be renamed eventually.
### Modules
#### User
- Now User and UserModule inherits from RWResource.
#### GDscript
- Implement code completion for gdscript enums.
### Platforms
#### Javascript
- Disallow audio driver muting on emscripten.
- Remove remaining (now unneeded) emscripten related ifndef-s from AusioServer.
### Other
- Removed to_json() member methods instead of deprecating them.
- This is because gdscript has the built-in to_json method. So to_json()
member methods cannot really be created. (They technically can be done,
but then the global to_json() cannot be called.).
- Only 3 classes are affected (TOTP, User, HTTPSession).
- Also these methods were likely never used, other than from the c++
side.
- If they were, a project wide search and replaces should fix all
issues: .to_json() -> .as_json()
- Added more comments to the sample module_config.py.
- Added rt shorthand for the project setups scripts for the repository_type command.
- Define slim_args_editor in the sample module_config.py, and use that to fill slim_args instead of the other way around.
It's more convenient this way, as a slim editor build will usually need
more modules to be enabled.
- Update the sample module_config.py module list.
- Update the http server module list workflow.
- Update the http server's build container module list.
### Backports
Backported everything up to and including https://github.com/godotengine/godot/commit/9eae65384cb0cd7340d0c27f56b3e3f764811a24
merge commit: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/commit/a117d512b00f1646db174e703e7e888519b64608
#### Godot 3.x
- Fix Open Editor Data/Settings Folder menu in self-contained mode
- Address API 35 UI changes
- DDS: Backport fixes from 4.x branch
- mbedTLS: Update to mbedTLS 3.6.4
