Projects comming from Godot 4.x are almost compatible with Godot 4.3, because this is not a major version (as Godot 3.x to Godot 4.0). For most games and apps made with 4.2 it should be relatively safe to migrate to 4.3, but check the Migration Guide from Godot 4.2 to Godot 4.3 and the Official Documentation for more info.
With the release of Godot 4, Godot 3 continue to be supported for a while, being considered an LTS (Long Term Support) version and with some features or bugfixes being backported from Godot 4.
The Godot Engine is a free, all-in-one, cross-platform game engine that makes it easy for you to create 2D and 3D games.
