• Main:
  • Node: store children as vector instead of map to optimize for iteration
    • allow direct access to children
    • allow unnamed SceneNodes
    • add removeAndDestroyChild(SceneNode*)
  • Frustum: add setMaterial to change appearance of debug display mesh
  • DistanceLodBoxStrategy: fix LOD computation
  • add OGRE_USE_STD11 option
    • use std::shared_ptr when set
    • alias OgreAtomic to std::atomic
    • implement SPFM_NONE for std::shared_ptr
  • AtomicScalar: improve compatibility with std::atomic & deprecate old API
  • STBICodec: disable writing to file on Emscripten
  • STBICodec: correctly write RGB and BGR formats
  • Root: allow calling shutdown() manually
  • SubEntity: de-virtualize all members as it is not meant to be inherited
  • VertexBufferBinding: devirtualise as it is never inherited from
  • Added VertexDeclaration::notifyChanged()
  • deprecations
    • Image::Box and Image::Rect
    • RenderSystem::{setVertexDeclaration, setVertexBufferBinding}
    • OgreAtomicObject
    • Light: deprecate node-less positioning
    • SimpleRenderable::setMaterial(String)
    • RenderSystem::_setWorldMatrices
• Swig:
  • add Java component
  • typemap output arguments of getFrustumExtents
  • use anonymous template instantiation to avoid namespace clutter
• CMake:
  • add option to control the node storage
  • introduce OGRE_THREAD_SUPPORT == 3 option
  • Fix OGRE_LIB_SUFFIX for upper case build type This fixes the build when using an upper case build type such as "Debug"
  • fix pdb installation on win32
• Overlay: fix destruction sequence of OverlayManager
• Bites
  • AdvancedRenderControls - also handle Profiler and Screenshots
  • ApplicationContext - allow overriding window name
• Android: allow context loss to be signalled through the OgreMain API
• OSX:
  • Add option for NSOpenGLCPSurfaceOrder
  • createRenderWindow(): "border" on macOS
  • Fix failed assertion on macOS
  • add includes for locale_t when using make on macOS
• D3D11Texture: Allow freeInternalResources > setWidth/Height > createInternalResources sequence, used by CEGUI, #490
• D3D9: Potential fix for OGRE-574 Crash on texture loading on old ATI / AMD card with DirectX9 (non power of 2)
• GL*:
  • do not select packed depth-stencil if stencil is unavailable
  • drop GLSLProgramCommon::getAttributeIndex
  • Ignore additional texture usage bits when translating to GL usage
  • Translate all usage combinations into meaningfull OpenGL usage hints, fixed assert for TU_RENDERTARGET in GLES3
  • refactor VertexArrayObject binding to share more code in GLSupport
  • simplify bindVertexElementToGpu
• GLSupport:
  • refactor createWindow -> parseOptions
  • unify duplicated removeDuplicates function
  • validateConfig() is unsupported on all platforms
  • check that glx extension functions are found (#507)
  • Properly set FSAA and gamma setting in OgreGLXWindow when using external GL context
• GL3Plus/ GLES2:
  • finish VertexArrayObject implementation
    • Infrastructure for creation/binding/destruction VAOs in owning context (VAOs are not shared between contexts)
    • Create VAOs lazy, recreate on attempt to use in wrong context
    • Notify VAOs about context destruction, to clear dangling pointer
  • drop GL*Program::_useProgram API
  • Use directly GLSurfaceDesc, GLRenderTexture, GLRTTManager; eliminate unused GL*CopyingRTTManager
  • use fixed AttributeIndex like GL
• GL3Plus:
  • avoid redundant calls to GLSLProgram::activate
  • move glTransformFeedbackVaryings call to GLSLProgram
  • StateCacheManager - do not overwrite GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER
• GLES2:
  • Android - invalidate VAOs on context loss
  • Fixed GLES3 path in GLES2TextureBuffer::download, missing glGetTexImage call to transfer pixels tex=>ppack, glGetTexImage is unavailable in GLES3
  • Fixed packed depth/stencil format detection in GLES3 mode, don`t clear stencilBuffer var so that it would be eventually bound to pipeline
  • Fixed usage of glLabelObjectEXT, call it after binding to avoid GL_INVALID_OPERATION on iOS
  • remove Mali-T628 workaround. Ogre was unmapping the wrong buffer.
  • update StateCacheManager for VAO usage
• Docs:
  • add profiler tutorial
  • add sequence diagram for renderOneFrame
  • high-level-programs - explain basic usage before advanced feats
  • material-scripts - formatting
  • move External Texture Sources from manual to tutorials
  • move High-level-Programs to top-level of manual
  • umldocs - recreate diagrams using plantuml
  • VertexElementType - deprecation comment was referencing wrong elem
• Samples:
  • port AndroidJNI to Java bindings
  • VolumeTex - drop unused variable that conflicted with xtimec.h
  • HLMS: cubemap - use cubescene instead of huge SaintPetersBasilica
• Tests:
  • add Root::shutdown regression test
  • add test for SceneNode::removeAndDestroyAllChildren
  • PlayPen_ManualLOD: update scene s.t. we actually see the effect of LOD
