Unreal Engine 4.7 Released!

[VSZ]

Great to hear 4.7.3 is on the cards.

Stephen, will the child actor reset issue (which I'm told has already been fixed in internal builds) be part of 4.7.3? To recap, this bug forces you to redo setup for all child actor component nodes each time the editor restarts, so given the fix is already available this would be a huge time saver for affected users.

For the other issue (instanced mesh) I'll work with TJ Ballard on the AnswerHub thread to get a repro going.

No, we don't post publicly with intended release dates. These can often change at the last minute due to unforeseen issues cropping up or other circumstances. We are aiming for the 4.7.3 release early next week.

Totally understand thanks for the info. grabbed a build off github that should work till than to keep the wheels turning. thanks for all the resources you guys keep available there are always lots of options :P

Another hotfix on the way, coolio! Thanks Epic

I think it is nice idea to make version 4.10 special. Imagine that 4.9 and 4.8 will bring new features and there will be no new features in 4.10, whole Epic Games team would be working all time on bugfixes to make 4.10 version super stable. I really like that idea. What do you think ?

I'm going to be the pedantic jerk and just point this out. There will never be a new version 4.10. Numerically, it is the same as 4.1. After 4.9 comes 5.0 - which either will need to be adopted into the Unreal 4 numerical version system...or smaller and smaller decimals and sub-decimals will have to follow for other things, like 4.9.9.9.9.9.4 etc.

Epic already said there will be 4.10 and 4.11 and so on

The thing to keep in mind are that version numbers are not decimals. So after 4.9 will be 4.10 and eventually we'll have 4.100 (probably a totally different engine by then and also hoverboards will be around). In fact, the numbering is kind of arbitrary in itself and it is a common joke that we could be using "4.Kitty and 4.Panda", but then we may forget what order the animals come in.

EDIT: Insert 4.Chicken and 4.Egg joke here. Also, there is a great explanation on software version on Wikipedia I found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning

4.xx 4.xxx are very good numbers and gives feeling to lot of people that it is rock stable and in reality i hope too. It is even now stable.

Thank you so much for fixing this. It was driving me mad trying to figure out what caused it. I wanted to file a bug report but couldn't figure out how to replicate it. I really appreciate the work you guys have been putting towards bug-fixes since 4.7 came out. Keep up the great work!

[MkII]

Thanks Epic! I just ported my 4.6.1 project over to the new version, and everything just works, at least at first glance. Thumbs up!

[John Alcatraz]

Unfortunately still many bugs in 4.7.3 so I really hope there will be a 4.7.4
