+It's been a couple of weeks since we saw the release of [4.7 beta 1](/article/dev-snapshot-godot-4-7-beta-1/), and in that time we've managed to detect and resolve over 100 regressions! There's still plenty of work to be done on the testing front, so users are encouraged to report whatever new issues crop up this newest release: Godot 4.7 beta 2.

+Please consider [supporting the project financially](#support), if you are able. Godot is maintained by the efforts of volunteers and a small team of paid contributors.

+
+## Known issues
+
+During the beta stage, we focus on solving both regressions (i.e. something that worked in a previous release is now broken) and significant new bugs introduced by new features. You can have a look at our current [list of regressions and significant issues](https://github.com/orgs/godotengine/projects/61) which we aim to address before releasing 4.7. This list is dynamic and will be updated if we discover new showstopping issues after more users start testing the beta snapshots.
+
+With every release, we accept that there are going to be various issues which have already been reported but haven't been fixed yet. See the GitHub issue tracker for a complete list of [known bugs](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abug).
+
+- XR: The Godot editor will crash upon quitting a XR project on macOS ([GH-119146](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/119146)).
+- GUI: Popup menu tooltips don't show up when the search bar is enabled ([GH-119407](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/119407)).
+
+## Bug reports
+
+As a tester, we encourage you to [open bug reports](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues) if you experience issues with this release. Please check the [existing issues on GitHub](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues) first, using the search function with relevant keywords, to ensure that the bug you experience is not already known.
+
+In particular, any change that would cause a regression in your projects is very important to report (e.g. if something that worked fine in previous 4.x releases, but no longer works in this snapshot).
+
