Over the course of the last four months the engine has seen many changes, making it more stable and feature complete, and it's getting very close to the state that we would be happy with. Some of the most notables feature changes in this update are: One Copyright Update to rule them all ( GH-70885 ). beta releases.

Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. Questions that often arise are: Why don't you add features incrementally or make GLES 3 features optional? As such, ports for different platforms must be kept separate as they share little code. TODO for Milestone #3 (December 2016). and OpenGL ES 3.0

This new system uses an "ubershader" (big shader supporting all features, slow but compiled on startup) to fill in for all shaders initially while the more efficient and material-specific shaders get compiled asynchronously, and cached for future runs. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. What is it?
