- Throw ArgumentException in DockContainer.ReplaceChild if newChild is already in the container to avoid index shifting bugs.
- Add comment in DockPanel.CheckCleanup explaining the asymmetric root panel collapse behavior.
- Added cycle detection in AddChild to prevent tree-cycle bugs
- Added defensive null validation to AddChild and RemoveChild
- Standardized using directives and exception throwing style
Introduces meshlet-based rendering pipeline with new HLSL structures and push constant layouts. Refactors meshlet upload/cooking, updates RenderGraphContext for global/view/instance data, and enhances ECS QueryBuilder with ref returns and [UnscopedRef] for fluent chaining. Improves resource management and disposal patterns, updates D3D12 interop for compatibility, and refines test/app infrastructure. Includes dependency updates, bug fixes, and code cleanups.
Major refactor of graphics and ECS infrastructure:
- Removed IResourceManager, IRenderSystem, IFenceSynchronizer interfaces; ResourceManager and RenderSystem are now concrete classes.
- Updated all render graph, pipeline, and context code to use concrete ResourceManager.
- Refactored camera/frustum math and render extraction for clarity and correctness; frustum now uses inline arrays.
- RenderingLayerMask is now an immutable struct with bitwise operators.
- Meshlet and meshlet group data structures improved; meshlet build callback signature updated.
- Logging system overhauled: LogMessage is now a class, LogCollection supports change events, and Logger is used directly in the debug console.
- ECS query API: ChunkView.Count renamed to EntityCount; query builder/iterators use VirtualStack.Scope.
- Updated render pipeline and passes for new resource manager and render list APIs.
- Cleaned up obsolete files, improved code style, and updated documentation.
- HLSL meshlet shader updated for new struct layout.
- Debug console now uses new logger and log collection.
BREAKING CHANGE: Public APIs for resource management, rendering, ECS queries, and logging have changed. Interfaces removed; use new concrete types and updated method signatures.
- RenderGraph.Compile/Execute now return Error for better failure detection; error handling is propagated throughout compiler and executor.
- Renamed ScheduleReleaseResource to ReleaseResource for clarity; updated all usages.
- ResourceManager now calls ReleaseResource directly on Mesh, Material, and Shader types.
- Camera exposes Actual/Virtual size properties and Render returns Error.
- RenderingContext now uses IResourceManager for mesh/resource ops.
- Replaced custom BinaryWriter with BufferWriter in RenderGraphHasher.
- Improved variable naming, interface signatures, and code formatting.
- Added Error extension for IsSuccess/IsFailure.
- Minor FMOD/native interop and test code cleanups.
- No breaking API changes except for new Error return values on some methods.
- Introduce full managed C# wrapper for NVIDIA Texture Tools (nvtt) with safe handle classes, idiomatic APIs, and managed callback support.
- Integrate Ghost.Nvtt into Ghost.Editor.Core and Ghost.MicroTest; update TextureAssetHandler to use the new nvtt wrapper for texture compression.
- Add comprehensive end-to-end binding test (NvttBindingTest).
- Refactor D3D12 resource management: add deferred/immediate release APIs, update allocator/database usage, and ensure proper resource cleanup.
- Update project files for new native DLL layout and dependency versions.
- Minor API cleanups: EditorApplication properties, D3D12 input layout, and removal of obsolete code.
- Update shaders, tests, and documentation for new APIs and usage patterns.
