Upgrading from 3.2 to 3.3 custom build. Any Issues?

I want to upgrade to 3.3 on my custom build. Are there any known issues, such as scripting changes or C++ engine changes?

In theory at least no real compatibility breaking changes should happen within the same major release, but exceptions can of course exist. Still, if any such they should be very very rare. In essence it should always be safe to move forward within the same major release version(major.minor.patch/fix).

If there are exceptional compatibility breaking features or changes they should be documented in the release notes so look at those. https://github.com/godotengine/godot/blob/3.3/CHANGELOG.md#33---2021-04-21

Just to be sure tho, I'll tag @Calinou so they can correct me on anything I might be wrong about here.

OK, this is my expectation, as breaking changes should only find their way into a major version increment (like 4.0)

Thank you.

Godot doesn't strictly follow semantic versioning, so breaking changes may be introduced in minor releases. In fact, this has happened with Godot 3.3 if you're doing custom builds for Android or are using plugins for iOS.

Alright, but I imagine you strive to avoid them as much as possible.

Thankfully I am not focus on mobile platform, just core (platform independent) functionality.

Thanks again.
