Between the launch of Panda3D 1.10 and the new website, our new funding campaign, our new Discord server, and so much more that we haven’t even gotten to write about, the past few months have been very busy for us. Despite all that, development has not stood still! We’ve been working hard to address the issues that were found in the previous two releases, culminating in this new, stabler release.
As with all minor releases, this is a bugfix release, and should be more stable than its predecessors. Since it resolves some regressions in 1.10.1, we strongly recommend that you upgrade as soon as possible. If you installed Panda3D using pip, you can simply upgrade by typing pip install -U panda3d. Otherwise, head over to our download page and grab the latest SDK.
Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you’re having any problems! You can do this on the GitHub issue tracker, the Discourse forums, or more informally, on our new Discord server or IRC channel. And stay tuned for news about our plans for the next major release!
Furthermore, we’d like to remind you that PyWeek 27 is right around the corner! If you’re interested in participating and are planning on doing a 3D entry, there’s no better choice than Panda3D 1.10.2. Best of luck to all those who plan on taking part!
