Today the first bugfix release for the current version of Blender 4.3 was finally released.

As I had some issues on my system with the shipped Blender 4.3 version, I was using the ongoing version and compiled it myself.

Meanwhile it is so much better. Thanks to all the amazing contributors.

Now, it's finally out 😃

Download Blender 4.3.1 here:
