- namespace refactor (example: wiGraphics:: -> wi::graphics)
- provided namespace compatibility macro for old user code: WICKEDENGINE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY_0_59
- resource manager will return `Resource` instead of `shared_ptr<Resource>` objects
- MAD shader optimizations
- implemented alpha to coverage with alpha tested materials when MSAA is enabled
- alpha testing fix with transparent shadow maps
- TLAS and scene buffers will be recreated less frequently when things get added/removed from the scene
- std container replacements for vector, unordered_map, unordered_set
- unordered_map and unordered_set replaced with ska::flat_hash_map
- vector replacement is still std::
- unordered_map performance test (std:: vs ska::)
- backlog improvements
- wiArchive improvements
- editor: added option to dump scene to C++ header file
- common improvements, refactors
linux: works only with wayland backend, can be used with SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland enviroment variable set.
It's possible that it works also on other platforms when using the SDL backend.
version 0.57.0:
- DX11 removed, DX12 is default now on Windows
- graphics interfaces improved:
- Bindless descriptor support is now assumed
- GPU Buffers with USAGE_UPLOAD and USAGE_READBACK will be persistently mapped after creation
- Removed Map/Unmap
- added BindDynamicConstantBuffer helper function
- improved AllocateGPU helper function
- GPU Queries resolving can be done directly into GPUBuffer
- UpdateBuffer now doesn't synchronize internally, this allows batching updates
- removed support for bindless constant buffers (uniform buffers)
- BindConstantBuffer will accept offset
- RESOURCE_STATES refactor, they can be combined now in the barriers
- many other refactors
- gbuffer normals removed, implemented visibility buffer
- bindless decals, bindless lightmaps, bindless hair particles, bindless software path tracing
- hair particles path tracing support
- path tracing eye adaption supported
- Surfel GI (experimental)
Big renderer refactor to remove some global state.
- Renderer no longer uses "global scene", but instead takes scene as parameter to functions
- Visibility is exposed, user can generate visibility for arbitrary camera and some exposed parameters
- Big changes in renderer can make user render code in high level interface not compatible with previous versions
- Fixed occlusion culling const correctness
