Good morning, this is Godot Daily for May 20th, 2026.

bruvzg contributed several import and format fixes: empty CSV translation columns no longer incorrectly import as English translations, TRES files now properly handle UTF-8 BOM markers, and JPEG imports only fail on fatal errors rather than recoverable issues.
