provides Rust bindings for the [Godot engine](https://godotengine.org/).

After quite a bit of development on GitHub, the Godot 4 bindings are now available on [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/godot) --

you can immediately get started using

`cargo add godot`. Furthermore, the GDExtension API level can now be specified with a Cargo feature, e.g. `api-4-1`.

The `ScriptInstance` API has matured a lot over the past months. This feature allows users to write Godot scripts in Rust, which can be

attached to nodes (just like GDScript). Scripts allow for quickly attaching/detaching functionality in a scene.

The overall API has seen several consistency improvements: reorganized modules, `self`/`&self` receivers on geometric types,

easier element access for `Array`/`Dictionary`/`Packed*Array`. The library has also benefited from Rust's

[`#[diagnostic::on_unimplemented]`][gd-diagnostic] to improve user-facing error messages.
