Stride/stride: Release releases/4.2.0.2282
We're excited to announce a new update to the Stride game engine, packed with numerous fixes and improvements across various areas. This release includes an impressive total of around 600 commits since the last version, reflecting the incredible efforts of our community and contributors.
This update paves the way for a new physics engine, Bepu Physics. While we already have some initial documentation available, more updates and samples are on the way. Feel free to contribute and help us enhance this exciting addition to Stride!
We’d like to highlight the efforts of the core Bepu Physics contributors: Nicogo, Eideren, Doprez and Norbo, the Bepu maintainer, who were also reimbursed through our Open Collective Bepu Physics integration project. Your hard work has made this integration possible, and we deeply appreciate your dedication!
Bullet Physics is being phased out as we shift our focus to Bepu Physics for ongoing updates and improvements. While it will remain available for the next two or so major releases, we recommend transitioning to Bepu Physics to stay aligned with the engine's evolution.
A big thank you to all our contributors for your continued support and efforts. Your contributions are the foundation of Stride’s growth and success! 🌟
