Added Debug_Editor/Release_Editor configs to all projects and solution. Refactored test utilities into Ghost.TestCore and updated references. Introduced DXCBindingTest for shader compilation. Updated conditional compilation to use GHOST_EDITOR. Improved platform mappings and performed minor code cleanup.
Refactored asset management to use a persistent, thread-safe SQLite-backed AssetCatalog, replacing in-memory dictionaries.
Added AssetHandlerRegistry for O(1) handler lookup, ImportCoordinator for async background importing, and robust AssetMeta/AssetMetaIO for JSON-based metadata and settings.
Refactored AssetRegistry to integrate these components and support auto-import via file system watcher.
Updated IImportableAssetHandler for handler-specific settings and polymorphic serialization.
Added comprehensive unit tests for all new systems.
Removed obsolete code and legacy integration tests.
BREAKING CHANGE: Asset system APIs and storage format have changed; migration required for existing projects.
Refactored native wrappers to use ReadOnlySpan<T> for pointer parameters, improving .NET safety and interop. Enhanced wrapper generator with $TYPE and prefix/suffix-based parameter remapping. Added platform-specific native library loading for meshoptimizer, nvtt, and ufbx. Updated D3D12GraphicsEngineFactory for native DLL resolution and removed redundant logic from UnitTestApp. Changed RenderGraphBuilder's resource extraction API to use QueryTextureExtraction/QueryBufferExtraction with explicit handles and flags. Removed IRenderer and D3D12Renderer, moving RenderContext to RenderPipeline. Improved mesh loading, resource management, and updated test shader conventions. Updated project references, build settings, and added launchSettings.json for tooling.
BREAKING CHANGE: Native wrapper APIs now use ReadOnlySpan<T> instead of pointers. RenderGraphBuilder resource extraction API has changed. IRenderer and D3D12Renderer have been removed.
- 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.
- 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.
