Some of the most notables feature changes in this update are: 3D: Switch Mesh surface indexing to start at 0 so string name matches integer index ( GH-70176 ). Rendering: OpenGL: Fix scene shader error when using Omni or Spot but not both ( GH-69901 ). Shaders: Fix the sorting of shader uniforms ( GH-70016 ). Bug reports.

First of all, most of the new features still have significant bugs and performance problems that will not be solved in time for the upcoming 4.0 Mesh streaming : Models are loaded as low detail (few vertices). GPUParticlesMaterial resource (or even an optional dedicated shader). Mesh resource for each pass of the particle.
