+blockquote: Continue where you left off
+text: |
+  This is a quality of life improvement for anyone using big monitors or multi-monitor setups.
+
+  The Godot editor now keeps track of its window state: whether it is in fullscreen or windowed mode, the screen it is on, as well as size and position.
+
+  These settings are then automatically restored when you open the program again.

+  Editor load speed improves once again. Large projects can expect a speed bump of up to 3x!

+  If you want to capture profiling data while running your game - without missing the first few seconds of loading a scene - you will appreciate this new checkbox.
+
+  It will autostart all profilers when you run a project, rather than forcing you to tab out of the game to do it yourself.

+blockquote: Call me maybe
+text: |
+  Batching is a performance optimization that drastically reduces the number of draw calls in a scene. The effect will be particularly noticable in scenes with a lot of text rendering or repeated sprites sharing a texture.
+
+  Previously, this optimization was only available in the Compatibility renderer. This release brings batching to the other rendering backends as well, which should make 2D performance comparable amongst all of them.
