Advisory:

Updated godot packages provide latest stable version

  This update provides Godot 3.4.5, as the latest stable version of this open
  source game engine. Godot 3.4 provides a number of important new features and
  bug fixes, and 3.4.5 is the third patch release with maintenance bugfixes.

  See the release notes of the successive versions for details.

SRPM in core/updates_testing:
=============================

godot-3.4.5-1.mga8

RPMs in core/updates_testing:
=============================

godot-3.4.5-1.mga8
godot-headless-3.4.5-1.mga8
godot-runner-3.4.5-1.mga8
godot-server-3.4.5-1.mga8

Testing procedure:
==================

Godot is a game engine with an editor, so running the `godot` binary should bring you to the project manager where you can create and edit a project. Actually using its features might be a bit beyond the scope of the necessary QA testing, but as I'm upstream maintainer and using this package myself on Cauldron, I'm fairly confident about it :)

It's complex software and does have quirks so if you run into issues, be sure to report them, but note that they may not be blockers for a Mageia update (they might be pre-existing issues which are not specific to this update).

It would also be good to test the few packaged Godot games and applications that we have to make sure that they seem functional despite the update (especially since they were exported from Godot 3.2, so depending on the features they use, some *might* need to be rebuilt with Godot 3.4). From a quick test they seem to work though:

fire-and-fondness
fire-and-fondness-2
hijinx
pixelorama

There's two more packages which use Godot but they are currently broken as they need an old Godot version (Godot 2). That's on my backlog and it's broken both before and after this update, so no change there. (It's `minilens` and `tanks-of-freedom`.)

MGA8-64 Plasma on Acer Aspire 5253
No installation issues.
Tried the programs indicated above. They open up OK, make convincing noises, I could see various options, but I'm totally lost as to what I'm supposed to do there. I can maove around a bit, but that's it.
Anyway I guess this is sufficient to olet go.
