  • OSX - use common FRAMEWORKS list for TestContext.app
  • Use HTTPS for freetype download URL (#761)
• Main
  • Apple - do not export internal functions
  • deprecate RSC_COMPLETE_TEXTURE_BINDING
  • deprecate TextureUnitState::BindingType
  • Exception - reflect that ITEM_NOT_FOUND == DUPLICATE_ITEM in enum
  • only use decorator pattern for DefaultHardwareBufferManager
  • OSX - use normal plugin path resolution
  • Rectangle2D::setUVs - assert instead of silently doing nothing
  • Root - resolve relative plugin path with regards to configfile
  • Singleton - use throwing assertion in constructor
• RTSS: GLSL - manually load source code to avoid preprocessing it twice
• Bites
  • consider OGRE_BUILD_SUFFIX when resolving plugins.cfg
  • Fix linking X11 on Linux/*BSD
• RenderSystems
  • D3D11
    • bind textures to all current shaders regardless of binding_type
    • correctly bind textures to geometry shaders
    • fix compilation with MinGW
    • D3D11Texture - do no duplicate Texture loading output
  • D3D9: fix "invalid target" log message
  • GL*: always compile shaders at load time
  • GL3Plus
    • drop Adreno GLSLES workaround
    • Fix linking libdl on Unixes
    • set mTriedToLinkAndFailed for all shader types
    • do not print warnings as errors at separable program loading
    • avoid using varying when redeclaring SSO interface blocks
    • GLSLMonolithicProgram - check shader existence before attaching
  • GLES2:
    • enforce we have a shadow buffer to restore resources from
    • fix underlinking with --as-needed
    • make Qualcomm specific workaround actually Qualcomm specific
    • iOS: avoid skipping layout for UIDeviceOrientationFaceUp/FaceDown. All orientation effects since iOS8 are already in UIScreen.bounds, remapping code was already deleted ~7 month ago.
  • GLSupport
    • OSX - add informative text to size asserts in CocoaWindow
    • OSX - silence cast-qual warning
• Python: OgreNumpy.view - raise an exception for unknown types
• Docs:
  • add "Working with NumPy" tutorial
  • improve wording and fix some doxygen warnings
  • include BuildingOgre.md in the doxygen documentation
  • move RTSS + HLMS to manual as a new "Runtime Shader" section
  • README.md - update to point to latest docs
  • update BuildingOgre.md
• VTests: TestContext - correctly resolve test plugins in bundles
• Samples
  • comparison operators should be const callable (C++17)
  • fix some broken GL3+ shaders
  • ShaderSystem - do not require the Cg plugin
  • DynTex - can be handled by RTSS, no need for custom shaders
