I know there are a few working hard on GitHub and they are all awesome people, but i wanted to give a special thank you to Preben, his latest GitHub commits have brought some amazing features and fixes to GG.
Over the past few months he has provided us with a barrage of fixes that have turned this engine into something nothing short of amazing (yes Lee has too but he owns it lol)

#259
Changed:
lowestnearcamera=2 as default , we now have no problems after the depth buffer is fixed, so you can now use a camera distance of 100 percent without any problems.
Added:
Standalone will now have have the window title set to the filename used in the standalone.
So if you use Test-My_Game.exe as the standalone exe name the windows title will be "Test My Game" ( '-' and '_' are removed ).
#18
#232
Added:
editorsavebak=1
When you save a level , it will now make a backup of the destination .fpm file before owerwriting it.
If you save into the same .fpm file it will create a file called "mylevel.bak" before writing into "mylevel.fpm".
If you select "save as" and by accident select "The Big Escape.fpm" and save, you can restore the original level in file "The Big Escape.bak" ( just rename the file to .fpm to use it again ).
To restore a backup level file , just rename it to end with ".fpm" instead of ".bak".
#217
Added:
SPECULARCAMERA to PBR shaders.
