scenery 0.6.0 beta 1

Release highlights

• introduces a whole new, much more flexible shader architecture (breaking change)
• introduces multiple rendering options to Volume (max projection, local max projection, alpha blending)

For full details, see the CHANGELOG.

scenery 0.5.2

Bugfix release

• Fixes double-click and scroll event handling for running with JavaFX.

scenery 0.5.1

Release highlights

• VulkanRenderer: uses buffer pooling now, with vertex buffers allocated centrally, and then sub-allocated to scene objects (#199)
• Volume: use volumetric data as normalised data, and hand data ranges to the shader, instead of using it as unnormalised data, which is not as well supported
• Introduces Renderable/Node.renderScale for global scales, such as coming from physical dimensions of volumes.

For full details, see the CHANGELOG.

scenery 0.5.0

Release Highlights

• Push Rendering Mode: Render only when the scene changes or an input event is received
• Font caching: Calculated per-font signed distance fields are cached to ~/.scenery/sdf-cache and loaded on the next request
• VulkanRenderer: truly headless mode without any windows surfaces being created

See the CHANGELOG for a full list of additions, changes, and fixes.
