VulkanSceneGraph-1.1.11, vsgXchange-1.1.7 and vsgExamples-1.1.9 released

[vsg-dev]

Hi All,

I have tagged developer releases of the 3 main VSG projects:

• https://github.com/vsg-dev/VulkanSceneGraph/releases/tag/v1.1.11
• https://github.com/vsg-dev/vsgXchange/releases/tag/v1.1.7
• https://github.com/vsg-dev/vsgExamples/releases/tag/v1.1.9

The major additions are the new native glTF and 3D Tiles 1.0 loaders in vsgXchange that require no external dependencies. The new glTF loader supports a wider range of glTF extensions than the original glTF support provided by vsgXchange::assimp, is significantly faster and now support multi-threading loading and decoding of files.

Dynamic viewports now become the default, so resizing windows no longer requires rebuild graphics pipelines.

Lazy state updating has also been introduced significantly speeding up rendering of complex scenes.

Lots more besides this. Alas I don't have enough time right now to dive through the complete changelogs.

Thanks to those who contributed to these releases and helped with testing/

Robert.
