Changelog for keid-core

0.1.11.0

• Fixes and updates to match geomancy-0.3 rewrite.
  • Reverse-depth perspective camera.
  • Conter-clockwise winding.
  • PVM matrix composition order.
• Changed the compatibility extensions for device and instance to be required, but put them under a darwin_HOST_OS define.
  • Even being optional they break launching under RenderDoc.

0.1.10.0

• Added ghWindowSize to replace ghScreenVar - a unified var to track window and framebuffer sizes, and their relative scale. (So you can use "pixel" sizes when running under scaled rendering a la MacOS.)
• Added Engine.Setup.Window.Size and getSize to collect that information.
  • A related helper: askWindowSize to tie both.

0.1.9.1

• Addded new wrappers to `Engine.App``
  • withDataDir to change directory so the data directory will match ./data.
  • withDefaultArgs to set default options like msaa.
• Added screen-grabbing functions to Resource.Image.
• Added compatibility extension for instance CI to run on MoltenVK.
• Added Engine.Types.HasMonoTime class and secondsSinceStart to get stable monotonic time in a sane range.

0.1.9.0

• Extracted Engine.UI.Layout and ...Layout.Linear to geomancy-layout.
• Added Engine.Camera.trackOrthoPixelsCentered to replace trackScreen.
• Language features updated to GHC-9.4.

0.1.8.0

Massive breakage fixing around allocate/create/destroy patterns and naming things.

• Deleted Resource.DescriptorSets.
• Added Resource.Vulkan.DescriptorPool.
• Renamed Engine.Vulkan.Types.DsBindings to DsLayoutBindings.
• Added allocate_ for Engine.Vulkan.Pipeline.Graphics and Compute.
• Added size, withSize and experimental HasField instance for Resource.Texture.
• Fixed SPIR-V signatures compatibility by hiding builtin interface vars.
• Engine.Worker.spawn* and Engine.Events.* handlers and now self-registereing.
• Due to RunState/Sink RunState loop callbacks now use a MonadSink rs m instead of StageRIO rs.
• Added Resource.Texture.Ktx2.
  • It lacks the BC7 hack to force sRGB for compressed textures as it is possible to set the correct format directly.
• Moved Base textures to KTX2 containers. KTX1 is soft-deprecated.
• Graphics pipelines now able to fill the config automatically with Graphics.vertexInput helper. Using:
  • HasVertexInputBindings class that provides attribute bindings.
  • HasVkFormat class to generate bindings parameters automatically (with generics) or explicitly.
  • vertexFormat, instanceFormat helpers for using HasVkFormat to provide HasVertexInputBindings instances.
• Added Resource.Model.Observer that wraps coherent buffers and is able to observe multi-buffered resources.
• Changed Swapchain.setDynamicFullscreen to accept a frame directly.
• Added MonadReader and MonadState instances for Bound to allow fetching models at draw call site.

0.1.7.2

• Added --size option to set the initial window size.
• Added --max-fps option to limit frame rate.

0.1.7.1

• SPIR-V reflection loader changed to spirv-reflect-ffi.

0.1.7.0

• Graphics pipelines extracted to Engine.Vulkan.Pipeline.Graphics.
• Added pipeline stage collections and StageInfo class.
  • Shader creation can now pluck stage flags from the collection.
• Added Engine.Vulkan.Pipeline.Raytrace stages (no pipelines yet).
• Added Engine.Vulkan.Pipeline.External worker for reloading pipelines.
• Added Engine.SpirV.Reflect to facilitate safe reloads using spirv-reflect toolchain.
• Added Engine.Engine.Stage.Component with rendering/resources/scenes decoupled.

0.1.6.1

• Minimal vulkan version is now 3.17.
• Fixed VMA setup for headless rendering.
• Add Generically1 from base-4.17 to replace distributive/repesentable.
• Engine.Worker.Cell instances generalized to arbitrary pairs.
  • I.e. (Var i, Var o) is a Cell-like structure that can be driven externally while retaining the Var and Observer machinery.
• withFrozenCallStack fixes for GHC-9.0.
• Engine.Worker boilerplate for coherent Resource.Buffer.
• Added Resource.Image.Atlas experimental container for tile atlases.
• Added Resource.Region for detachable allocation scopes.
• Added Engine.Window.MouseButton.Collection to facilitate button-related dispatch.
• Added a shortcut around loop when a window is quitting.
  • Skips allocation of loop resources that wouldn't be used.
  • Sidesteps a race before release/allocate chain when unwinding stages leading to crashes.
• Added Engine.UI.Layout.Linear.
  • Experimental for now, but require no workers and FRP-compatible.

0.1.6.0

• Added Engine.Camera with projection and view controls.
• Worker Cell changed into an input-annotated Merge.

0.1.5.1

0.1.5.0

• Removed allocateRenderpass_ from RenderPass class.
• Added allocateRP stage field.
• Added Engine.Vulkan.Pipeline.Compute.
  • Common shader code extracted to Engine.Vulkan.Shader.
• Added shader specialization constants.
  • Graphic and compute pipeline configs extended with spec parameter.
  • Shader.Specialization class is used to derive vulkan schema at runtime and store values.
• Added Pipline.Configure and Compute.Configure families to produce a matching Config type.
• Added cDepthCompare to Pipeline.Config.
• Removed Zero instance for pipline configs.
  • Use baseConfig value for better type inference and less imports.

0.1.4.1

• Added size information to Resource.Image: aiExtent.

0.1.4.0

• Relaxed DescriptorSet.allocatePool to any MonadResource.
• Added KHR_Surface to headless requirements.
• Added Render.Pass.setViewportScissor.
• Added TRANSFER_SRC to Offscreen image usage.
• Published Render.Samplers.params.

0.1.3.1

• Added Engine.Setup.setupHeadless to use without a surface.
• Added queue assignment fallback when there are no distinct queues for compute and transfer. Fixes startup crash on Intel iGPUs.

0.1.0.1

• Inter-stage resource release waits for render job to finish.
