Major architecture upgrade:
- Add native render pass merging (hardware pass grouping, load/store op inference)
- Implement heap-based aliasing for textures & buffers (D3D12-style)
- Unify resource model: buffers and textures in one registry
- Extend builder API for buffer creation/usage, access flags, hints
- Improve barrier/state tracking (buffer hints, indirect argument state)
- Update caching, hashing, and debug output for new model
- Add enums/structs: AttachmentLoadOp, StoreOp, BufferHint, etc.
- D3D12 backend: support named resources, temp upload buffers, correct heap usage
- Update docs, benchmarks, and project files for new features
Brings render graph closer to AAA engine standards, enabling efficient memory usage, lower driver overhead, and a more flexible API.
Major architectural update to graphics/material/shader system:
- Introduced strongly-typed key structs (Key64/Key128) for passes, variants, and pipelines; removed legacy key types.
- Implemented robust hashing and key generation utilities for efficient variant and pipeline lookup/caching.
- Shader compiler now compiles/caches all keyword variants using new key system; includes handled as lists.
- Switched to push constant root signature for per-draw data; updated HLSL and C# codegen accordingly.
- Refactored Material, Shader, and Pass data structures for cache efficiency and variant support.
- Pipeline library and PSO management now use 128-bit keys and variant-specific caching.
- Replaced WorldNode with SceneNode in editor/scene graph; introduced ComponentManager for archetype/query management.
- Migrated math utilities to Misaki.HighPerformance.Mathematics; updated editor controls.
- Updated all HLSL and codegen for new buffer/push constant layouts and macros.
- Misc: project reference cleanup, D3D12 Work Graph support, doc updates, and code modernization.
Major refactor of graphics infrastructure:
- Introduce ICommandAllocator and D3D12CommandAllocator for explicit command buffer management.
- Change ICommandBuffer.Begin to require an allocator.
- Add IRenderTargetStrategy abstraction with swap chain and texture implementations.
- Update IRenderer to use RenderTargetStrategy instead of direct handle.
- Add DPI scaling support to swap chains (ScaleX/ScaleY, SetScale).
- RenderSystem now supports thread-safe swap chain resize requests.
- Remove persistent copy command buffer; use per-frame allocators.
- Make Logger public/static and clean up API visibility.
- Update .editorconfig and debug layer enablement.
These changes improve modularity, DPI-awareness, and future extensibility.
