Certain features of Godot 4

PeterSmith

Hello, I have been trying to port my projects to godot 4, I hope this is the right place to ask the questions.

Are the viewports being worked on? Currently, a viewport with 2d scene shows nothing but pink rectangle, and a viewport with 3d scene renders correctly, but does not receive input events. Is this a known issue, or should I submit a bug report? I also couldn't get the transparent background to work.

Are the autotiles coming back? While I enjoy the new features of tilemaps, their main purpose is autotiling. Also, is there a tutorial-video that goes in depth about how the new tilemap terrain works?

The 2d light shadows are missing. Surely this is a known issue -- is there a list of such issues I could check before reporting?

This is a known issue: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/40651

I believe terrains and other new features of the TileMap editor are considered to supersede autotiles in every possible way. There are some known functional regressions though: https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/3875

is there a list of such issues I could check before reporting?

Yes, search on the GitHub issue tracker linked above with the topic:bug label and 4.0 milestone.

Thanks. I was able to get viewports with 2d content to render -- need to set both size and size 2d override properties. Once stuff is inside a vewport, it is not very performance (scrolling not working), hope they will fix it.
