GodotHub Files

What's new in v1.5.6

New

• Project Doctor now checks Android setups: projects with an Android export preset or Gradle build template get checks for the Android SDK (platform tools, build tools, command-line tools), the Java JDK version, the debug keystore, release keystores and the Android build template. Projects that only look mobile (Mobile renderer, ETC2/ASTC textures, screen orientation, touch emulation) get the same checks as notes, since many desktop games use the Mobile renderer too
• Tests and lint in Build & Export: run GUT or gdUnit4 tests headless, gdlint, or a gdformat check with one click. Output streams to the built-in console, and Stop ends the run
• New Addons window in the project menu lists every addon in res://addons with its version, author and whether it is enabled, and checks the Godot Asset Library for newer versions. Addons installed through GodotHub are matched exactly; others are matched by name. Updating moves the old addon folder to the Trash and restores it if the update fails
• Windows: right-click GodotHub in the taskbar to open recent projects from the Jump List. macOS: right-click the Dock icon for the same list

Fixes

• Choosing a project under Open Recent in the tray menu now opens it. Before, nothing happened
• Templates in your template scan folder now sync automatically at startup, when files in that folder change, and after pulling a cloud sync. Before, they only synced when you pressed Sync
• Project sizes no longer stay out of date after files deep inside a project change
• Project icons now update when you replace the icon file itself
• The splash screen loading bar no longer flickers rapidly when Reduce Motion is on
• The onboarding intro animation no longer keeps running in the background after you leave it
• Fixed window and Discord status listeners that could be left behind after their part of the app closed

Improvements

• Faster startup: only the language you use is loaded, and rarely used dialogs load when first needed. The startup code is about half its previous size
• The app stays smooth while Godot versions download. Download progress no longer redraws every page
• Asset Library downloads send progress updates far less often and write to disk faster
• Godot and export template downloads and installs use buffered disk access
• Network requests share one connection pool and use compression, so GitHub and other online lookups respond faster
• The Templates and Vault pages load their lists without briefly freezing the window
• Project cards, the versions list and running-project timers redraw less often, which makes hovering and scrolling lighter
• Status dot pulses, card entrance animations and tooltips use less GPU and CPU while looking the same
• Background checks (git auto-fetch, console and export updates) pause while the window is hidden, and news and contributors are cached instead of fetched on every visit
• Smaller and faster release builds

Downloads

Package managers

• winget: winget install Ryko.GodotHub
• Scoop: scoop bucket add extras then scoop install godothub
• AM (Linux): am -i godothub

Already using GodotHub? It offers this update in the app.

AppImage not starting on Linux?

The AppImage does not run on every Linux setup. If it fails to start, install it with AM instead. AM downloads the same AppImage from this page, adds GodotHub to your app menu, and updates it with am -u godothub.

1. Install AM:

   :::bash wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ivan-hc/AM/main/AM-INSTALLER && chmod a+x ./AM-INSTALLER && ./AM-INSTALLER && rm ./AM-INSTALLER

2. Install GodotHub:

   :::bash am -i godothub

If you chose AppMan in the AM installer, use appman -i godothub instead.
