   By decoupling physics ticks and display frame rates, physics interpolation creates additional frames between the last physics position and the current one. This reduces jitter and creates a smoother appearance, especially on displays with a high refresh rate. Mobile games also benefit from this change, since you can now lower the tick rate without compromising on smoothness.

+text: |
+  Godot 4.0 introduced supported for typed arrays, but lacked support for typed dictionaries. This rapidly became one of the most requested features to add to the engine, and thanks to Thaddeus Crews, it is now implemented for Godot 4.4! This feature impacts the core engine, GDScript, and all other scripting languages when interfacing with Godot’s Dictionary type. You can now export typed dictionaries from scripts and benefit from a much improved Inspector UX to assign the right keys and values.
+
+  As a related improvement, support for StringName dictionary keys has also been optimized by Rune (GH-70096).

+text: |
+  Thanks to Godot’s unique feature of having an editor made with the engine itself, we’ve been able to bring the Godot editor to unconventional places, such as the web and Android devices. Building upon the latter, Fredia Huya-Kouadio completed the proof of concept started by Bastiaan Olij years ago, to add support for using the Android editor in an XR context using OpenXR (GH-96624)! You can test the current version by sideloading the APK, currently supported on Meta Quest 3 or Quest Pro.

+text: |
+  Ubershaders are at load time pre-compiled versions of each shader with all their features.
+
+  These shaders becomes the fallback whenever a new object is drawn, so that freezing - as we wait for the more specialized shader pipeline in the background to compile - becomes a thing of the past. This technique therefore completely avoids shader stutter!
+
+  The improvement from this change will be noticeable in most games without requiring any content changes. In some cases, the ubershaders won't work however - refer to the workarounds for shader stutter in the official documentation to learn about simple fixes.
+
+  We are already in the process of updating our existing shaders to take advantage of this new infrastructure.

+blockquote: "Jolt into action"
+text: |
+  This module has been the de-facto physics engine for many Godot developers since its inception in late 2022, so it only made sense to promote it to an official addon for more users to find.
+
+  Now the Godot Jolt maintainers have taken it one step further: integrating the module into the engine directly. A process that ended up requiring over 500 files and 115 thousand lines of code!
+
+  While this PR might be one of the most rigorously tested ones, we are eagerly awaiting your feedback (and GitHub issues) to eventually be able to drop the "experimental" label on this addition. Until then, you have to enable this alternative to Godot Physics in the project settings. Before you do, make sure to check if your interests/use-cases are properly supported in the documentation.
