Key Changes

• Numerous optimizations improving CPU performance, stability, loading times, and reducing RAM and VRAM usage
• Enhanced upscalers, now also supported on Vulkan
• Experimental visual in-game UI designer
• VR/XR enhancements, including eye tracking, mixed reality, extended emulation, and various optimizations
• Experimental support for Gaussian Splatting
• New octahedral impostors: more efficient and visually accurate
• Updated C# Component System: now supports external libraries, interfaces, and abstract classes
• Various quality-of-life improvements in UnigineEditor
• Improved procedural mesh modification API: safer, more flexible, and now supports streaming
• Faster landscape generation in Sandworm with lower memory usage
• Revamped sample projects: easier to find, more comprehensive across all APIs, with full source code available on GitHub

It took some time to stabilize the engine after the full transition to DX12 and Vulkan, but the payoff is clear — we've already implemented a range of optimizations, and this is only the beginning!
