Good morning. This is Godot Daily for Sunday, May 26th, 2026.
Yesterday saw significant activity with 20 merged pull requests and 23 additional commits focusing on GPU compatibility and editor refinements.

This resolves issue 116990 where the compiler would crash with too many constant literals, trading pipeline compilation stutters for stability.
blueskythlikesclouds also resolved a race condition in material shader handling that was causing thread safety issues, protecting shader data with proper mutex usage.
Several editor improvements were merged. YeldhamDev enhanced the asset store interface, making theme previews scale properly with editor settings and improving the visual design of rating indicators and page selectors. KoBeWi fixed theme cache issues in the array property editor and significantly improved file…
Other notable merges include fixes for CSG autosmooth behavior from Jesusemora, OpenXR frame synthesis validation errors from dsnopek, and Tree node drag-and-drop functionality on touchscreen devices…
