v1.9.15

filamat / matc: fix sporadic crash.

v1.9.14

• Improve bloom/emissive with glTF files.
• Publicly expose Exposure API for gltfio.

v1.9.13

• Android: fix "No implementation found" error.
• Android: fix compilation error in UbershaderLoader.
• engine: computeDataSize now returns correct value for USHORT_565.
• Vulkan: various internal improvements.

v1.9.12

• engine: Fixed GL errors seen with MSAA on WebGL.
  Warning: this can affect multisampling behavior on devices that do not support OpenGL ES 3.1
• materials: Added new getVertexIndex() API for vertex shaders.

v1.9.11

Engine

• materials: Added sheenColor and sheenRoughness properties to materials to create cloth/fabric.
• materials: Materials generation using libfilamat is now multi-threaded.
• materials: Modulate emissive by alpha on blended objects.
• API: MaterialBuilder::build() now expects a reference to a JobSystem to multi-thread shaders
  generation. A JobSystem can be obtained with Engine::getJobSystem() when using Filament,
  or created directly otherwise. (⚠️ API change)
• engine: Fix, punctual lights get clipped at certain angles.
• engine: Fix memory leak when calling View::setViewport frequently.
• engine: Fix, materials not working on some Qualcomm devices.
• engine: Fix, RenderTarget cleared multiple times.
• Java: Fix JNI bindings for color grading.
• Android: reduced binary size.

Platforms and backends

• Added support for Apple silicon Macs. build.sh can now be used to build on either Apple silicon or
  Intel-based Macs. Pass the -l flag to build universal binaries.
• Metal: honor inverseFrontFaces in RasterState.
• Metal: Fix crash when switching between views with shadowing enabled.
• Metal: Fix crash when calling Texture::setImage() on SAMPLER_2D_ARRAY texture.
• WebGL: Fix samples erroring on Windows with Chrome.
• WebGL: Support highlight for setBloomOptions in JavaScript.
• WebGL: Include TypeScript bindings in releases.

Libraries, tools, and samples

• gltfio: added support for KHR_materials_sheen.
• gltfio: shader optimizations are now disabled by default, unless opting in or using ubershaders.
• gltfio: Fix _maskThreshold not found error.
• gltfio on Java: fix potential memory leak in AssetLoader.destroy().
• gltfio: fix crash during async texture decode.
• gltfio: support animation in dynamically-added instances.
• gltfio: Improve robustness when decoding textures.
• gltfio: Fix animator crash for orphaned nodes.
• gltfio: fix tangents with morphing.
• gltf_viewer: fix very sporadic crash when exiting.
• gltf_viewer: fix crash when rapidly switching between glTF models.
• sampels: Add planar reflection RenderTarget demo.
