Yocto/GL: Tiny C++ Libraries for Data-Driven Physically-based Graphics
Mostly a point release to lock in a stable 1.x version. The 2.x library version will be backward incompatible with the current one.
Split scene between various components of Yocto/GL. Several API cleanups.
Significant simplification in low-level model IO.
This release includes two main changes, mostly internal. Low-level scene parsers are moved to the new ModelIO library and include SAX-like parsing without callbacks. The path tracer has been significantly reduce in code length, while maintaining the same behaviour. The material model now has better energy conservation.
First stable release. For a list of features, please consult the readme file.
Moving forward, we will follow semantic versioning. We plan to have relatively quick releases with new features, and use deprecation for API changes. Experimental APIs might crop up from time to time, and they will be marked as such until stable or removed. We will follow a relatively strict policy for the library, while the example applications will be changed more liberally.
