Hotfixes so nice, we added 'em twice; #GodotEngine 4.5.1-rc2 arrives‼️

Our top priority is ensuring the hotfix release is as stable as possible, so be sure to test and report any issues that aren't present in 4.5-stable.

I don't like when games look unfair, I like when a game teaches you in the beginning and it slowly starts to get harder.
If it just starts from 0% to 100% for me it's just boooring.

Our first development snapshot for #GodotEngine 4.6 has arrived!

As the feature freeze thaws away, so begins a small trickle of QOL and enhancements; a mere sample of the incoming torrent of changes 4.6 is sure to see

…200 PRs is small, right?

I think if you want an advice, you could just use one size of pixels instead of mixing smaller with big ones, but all of them look great.
