0.60.50:
- Added procedural terrain generator (for now this is Editor only preview version)
- Added LOD (Level Of Detail) support
- Added LOD Generator to Editor (Mesh Window -> LOD Gen), uses the meshoptimizer library
- Editor can merge multiple objects now into one mesh (Mesh window -> Merge Selected)
- Ocean: added occlusion culling support to detect when ocean is occluded
- can skip planar reflection render for ocean
- can skip ocean simulation
- can skip ocean rendering
- CPU ray tracing optimization: TMin and TMax parameter
- can improve Ray-AABB and Ray-Triangle tests
- improves performance of third person character controller script

- 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
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)
