Maybe worth clarifying how #GodotEngine release cycles work for those not familiar. 4.5 dev 1 doesn't mean that we're already done with 4.5 features and wrapping up - in fact we're just getting started, and will merge a lot more new features in the next snapshots, until feature freeze and 4.5 beta.

Pro tip for any #godotengine devs using VSCode and upgrading to 4.4, which adds a `.gd.uid` file for each of your scripts. In VSCode, you can hide the `.gd.uid` files by going to settings and adding the following to "Files: Exclude": **/*.gd.uid #godot #gamedev
