Unity 2019.3.0 Release Candidate 4 is available for testing

Unity Engine
,
1

Greetings beta testers,

We have a Release Candidate 4 available to try.
This build is only distributed from this forum post, so it will not appear in the Hub pre-releases or in the beta webpage.

We think we have greatly improved the stability and the performance of the editor, although we know we still have a few known issues (see the release notes below) to iron out before we can call 2019.3 officially released.

You can install the version using this hub link (copy & paste in your browser URL to trigger an install from the Hub):
