0.72.0

• added Mac OS support with Metal 4 renderer
• added support for shader model 6.6 direct heap indexing for all shaders (available on Windows 11 or custom Agility SDK setup)
• voxel GI was broken for some time, now it's fixed
• fixed issue inn texture streaming when resolution would flicker between high and low sometimes (by @nxrighthere)

Edit: applied some fixes, version 0.72.7

0.71.864

• added pooled allocation to many systems that used shared_ptr, improving CPU performance
• added refresh rate control for environment probes (by @nxrighthere)
• added partial terrain rebuild for spline modifier (only rebuild terrain in spline's vicinity)
• optimization for hair particle system: reducing CPU time spent in creation, reduces CPU spikes in grass-heavy terrain generation
• added rigid body physics shape cache: faster creation of similar rigid body shapes (by @nxrighthere)
• improved gui scrollbar granularity (by @nxrighthere)
• editor: added option for always placing new entities in front of camera (by @nxrighthere)
• added globally forced unlit rendering option (by @nxrighthere)
• general improvements and fixes for multi-platform behaviour (by @brakhane)

EDIT: hotfix added that fixes incorrect environment probe rendering on terrain.
EDIT2: hotfix added that fixes bug in resource manager

0.71.854

• optimizations for GPU: replaced SV_PrimitiveID usage with custom primitiveID calculation
• optimizations for CPU: minor improvements for job system and entity component system
• added gpu selection options from startup arguments: nvidiagpu, amdgpu, intelgpu
• general improvements by @nxrighthere : improvements in lightshafts, chromatic aberration shader effects
• editor improvements by @nxrighthere : unsaved changes prompt, texture picker, entity snap to camera, entity sorting and more
• fixed keyboard layout issues and other improvements for Linux by @brakhane
• initial support for Free BSD by @pescador-barquero
• other fixes and improvements

0.71.834

• added CRT post process
• added CRT effect option for camera feed rendering
• improvements and fixes

0.71.822

• added HDR calibration for UI
• added dedicated shadow map for characters
• added mesh blend effect

0.71.813

• added animation importer to Editor that directly imports multiple animations to humanoid rig
• added animation tester for humanoid rig: easily switch animations from humanoid settings in editor
• added multiselect support to file browser dialogs
• improvement for MSAA transparency effect: removed dithering, unified look between instance, hairparticle and impostor fade
• improvements to built-in character component for better control and foot placement, added shake effect
• added limb-spacing feature for humanoid rigs: control the spacing between arms and legs (can be used to modify animations slightly)
• added IntersectAll to scene, returns all intersections for object and colliders
• GLTF export: animation names will be exported
• FBX import: mixamo animations will be given custom name as they usually don't contain names, this makes it easier to identify them
• improvements for the cmake build system (by @brakhane )
  • sym links will be used when available to link content to executable
  • added precompiled header support
  • added link time optimization
  • added support for "unity" build
  • other improvements

EDIT: updated builds with important fixes to 0.71.818

0.71.802

• added project creator to the editor: create lua applications with custom icon, splash screen, etc. from the editor
• added custom theme support to the editor, with a visual theme editor, also added background image support for themes
• GUI: added text filtering support for combo box
• added screenshot support with transparent background (sky pixels will be replaced to transparency
• MSAA alpha to coverage dithering is removed

EDIT: a gui hotfix has been applied and the executables are updated.

0.71.787

• added rectangle light type with texture support for visualizer, diffuse and specular components
• videos can now be used as mask texture for spot and rectangle lights
• videos can now be used on Sprites, to replace sprite texture with video
• added camera feed support for lights (use a camera feed as light mask texture)
• shadow mapping changed back to not use dithering, but more samples instead
• added capsule reflection effect (works when capsule shadow is enabled globally, but it will affect the specular light)
• pipeline state creation changed to not block rendering, instead rendering will be skipped for objects that have a pipeline that is not ready
• disabled pipeline state cache for Vulkan, as it turned out to be faster without in recent graphics drivers
• gui improvements: slider and combobox sub-elements now accounted for in the whole widget size, also tidied the editor gui
• shader compiler is using latest 2025 May release
• Template_Windows and Template_Linux projects were simplified to have a single entry point function and nothing else
• removed: qoi, ktx, basis image support (instead qoi, use png; instead of ktx and basis, use DDS with optional archive compression)
  • the last release that supports ktx, basis and qoi can be used to convert assets from using those formats to DDS (editor->general options->DDS convert): https://github.com/turanszkij/WickedEngine/releases/tag/v0.71.764
