1. [You can now download Castle Game Engine 6.5 “snapshot” (build from the latest GitHub code) from here.](https://github.com/castle-engine/castle-engine/releases/tag/snapshot)

2. Many [editor](https://castle-engine.io/manual_editor.php) improvements:

3. TCastleWindowCustom / TCastleControlCustom are renamed to [TCastleWindowBase](https://castle-engine.io/apidoc-unstable/html/CastleWindow.TCastleWindowBase.html) / [TCastleControlBase](https://castle-engine.io/apidoc-unstable/html/CastleControl.TCastleControlBase.html) and are simpler to use now, as they by default have a defined background. Control it using the new `Container.BackgroundColor` and `Container.BackgroundEnable` properties.

4. [FindFiles](https://castle-engine.io/apidoc-unstable/html/CastleFindFiles.html#FindFiles) is now reliable and cross-platform. Can search recursively in game data (using `castle-data:/` protocol) always, even e.g. in Android assets or Nintendo Switch game data.

5. `TGLImage` and `TGLImageCore` are finally merged into one class, [TDrawableImage](https://castle-engine.io/apidoc-unstable/html/CastleGLImages.TDrawableImage.html) . This makes them simpler.

6. New class [TCastleImagePersistent](https://castle-engine.io/apidoc-unstable/html/CastleGLImages.TCastleImagePersistent.html) allows to load images (TDrawableImage) with caching, and can be used to configure image in the editor comfortably. It is used by TCastleImageControl and TCastleButton already.

7. Joysticks:

8. Introduced static properties [TRenderingAttributes.DefaultMinificationFilter](https://castle-engine.io/apidoc-unstable/html/CastleRenderer.TRenderingAttributes.html#DefaultMinificationFilter), [DefaultMagnificationFilter](https://castle-engine.io/apidoc-unstable/html/CastleRenderer.TRenderingAttributes.html#DefaultMagnificationFilter).
