Projects comming from Godot 3.3 are compatible with Godot 3.4, because this
is not a major version (as Godot 2.1 to Godot 3.0 or for Godot 3.x to Godot
4.0 when it is released), with minor adjustments to some function
parameters. Check the
Official Documentation for more info.
Godot is an advanced, feature packed, multi-platform 2D and 3D open source
game engine (MIT). It provides a huge set of common tools, so you can just
focus on making your game without reinventing the wheel.
After more then 7 months of development and several releases candidates, Godot 3.3 is
released. This version was initially planned as 3.2.4 but with the high number of new features, it was renamed to 3.3! Godot loosely follows
Semantic Versioning with a major.minor.patch version system as detailed on
Godot Releases Policy (the 3.x version is a long-term support - LTS).

Projects from Godot 2.1 are not compatible with Godot 3.0, as many things changed in the Godot API as well as in GDScript. There is no porting guide for now (only some
Migration Notes), but there is an export tool in Godot 2.1.3 and later which can be used to export 2.1 games to the formats expected for Godot 3.0, helping in the migration process (check the
Official Documentation also).
