Major refactor of render pipeline and shader system:
- Replaced legacy shader properties with source generator and attribute-based HLSL struct generation.
- Introduced ShaderPropertiesRegistry for runtime property layout/code registration.
- Added modular IRenderPipeline, IRenderPipelineSettings, and IRenderPayload interfaces.
- Implemented GhostRenderPipeline and ECS-driven GPUScene management.
- Added experimental DirectX 12 Work Graph support.
- Refactored shader compilation, variant hashing, and caching.
- Updated APIs for consistency and improved codegen for registration.
These changes modernize the rendering infrastructure for advanced features like work graphs and dynamic pipelines.
BREAKING CHANGE: Shader DSL, pipeline, and property APIs have changed. Existing shaders and pipeline integrations must be updated.
Refactor resource pool to use UnsafeQueue/UnsafeList for transient resources, improving memory management and performance.
Add async GPU wait support to ICommandQueue and D3D12.
Refactor render graph barrier system, streamline CompiledBarrier, and remove ResourceBarrier.
RenderGraphCompiler now returns Result<float2, Error> for dynamic resolution scaling.
Replace custom memory pools with Allocator.FreeList for temp allocations.
Add ResourceUploadBatch for async/sync resource uploads.
Fix D3D12 disposal and fence tracking bugs.
Update NuGet dependencies.
Numerous minor cleanups and code improvements.
Modernizes resource and barrier management for the D3D12 backend. Key changes:
- Simplifies BarrierDesc by removing nullable "before" states; now inferred from resource database.
- Adds IsAliasing flag to BarrierDesc for aliasing transitions.
- Replaces ResourceMemoryType with HeapType in BufferDesc and related APIs.
- Enhances ResourceViewGroup with usage inference methods.
- Adds D3D12 utility helpers for heap/flag conversions and resource description extraction.
- Optimizes command buffer barrier emission, skipping redundant barriers.
- Refactors Material and RenderContext to use new APIs and state tracking.
- Updates ResourceManager pooling to use HeapType and standard Queue.
- Simplifies RenderGraphExecutor barrier logic and aliasing handling.
- Improves RenderSystem frame synchronization and resource retirement.
- Cleans up obsolete code and improves debug output.
BREAKING CHANGE: Updates to resource and barrier APIs require changes to all code interfacing with resource creation, barriers, and memory types.
Added NoAccess to attachment ops for depth/stencil, updated D3D12 and RenderGraph to handle new ops, and improved axis/handedness conversion in mesh loading. Enabled meshlet color hashing in test shader. Changed default rasterizer winding, added format helpers, and updated camera transform for correct mesh orientation. JobScheduler usage commented out for now.
Refactored all graphics resource handles to use Handle<GPUTexture> and Handle<GPUBuffer> instead of Handle<Texture> and Handle<GraphicsBuffer>. Updated all APIs, interfaces, and implementations to use the new types, including ICommandBuffer, IResourceAllocator, ISwapChain, IRenderOutput, IRenderGraphBuilder, and related classes. Introduced TempJobAllocator for frame-latency-aware allocations. Updated ResourceHandleExtensions for new conversions. Performed minor code cleanups and removed the empty ClusterLod.cs file.
BREAKING CHANGE: All usages of Handle<Texture> and Handle<GraphicsBuffer> are replaced with Handle<GPUTexture> and Handle<GPUBuffer>. This affects all APIs and resource management code. Callers must update their code to use the new handle types.
- Refactor D3D12 backend and RenderGraph module
- Update graphics RHI and core rendering components
- Add Random.hlsl shader include
- Regenerate API documentation and update user guides
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.
Split IFenceSynchronizer/IRenderSystem interfaces for clarity. Refactor D3D12GraphicsEngine to use IFenceSynchronizer. Update RenderGraph and context to use explicit resource manager/database/allocator references. Add multi-buffering methods to IRGBuilder (stub). Support history access for multi-frame resources. Remove legacy RenderPipelineBase; introduce IRenderPipelineSettings and sealed GhostRenderPipeline. Clean up resource aliasing and pool logic. Improve modularity and future extensibility.
- 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.
