+
+- Migrated to nalgebra from custom linear algebra.
+- Replaced custom physics engine with Rapier.
+- Implemented sound backend for macOS.
+- Environment mapping - now objects can have reflections.
+- Implemented geometry instancing - now you can render tons of objects with
+low overhead.
+- Performance improvements.
+- Added [gobo] for spot lights.
+- Added CPU lightmapper - it is possible now to "bake" static lighting
+into a texture to improve performance.
