TRAP™ Release notes 0.10.0|23w45a1 - 0.10.93|24w29b1

Known issues:

• TRAP-Editor modifying entities or their properties while in play mode has no effect on the scene
• TRAP-Editor using gizmos while in play mode has no effect on the scene

Core engine changes:

• Multithreading preparation:
  • Added contention free shared mutex to replace std::shared_mutex
  • Added Safe, a wrapper for user-defined types which get protected using a mutex on access
  • Utils added WaitForAll() which allows waiting for multiple std::futures
• HotReloading fixed shader changes not being visible after reload (pipeline not getting invalidated)
• VulkanRenderer fixed vkAcquireNextImageKHR semaphore synchronization error
• ImGuiVulkanBackend Fixed synchronization errors
• VulkanSwapChain Fixed crash when resizing on Linux X11/Xwayland
• VulkanRenderer added support for depth/stencil attachments
• VulkanCommandBuffer Fixed Vulkan errors in ResolveImage()
• Vulkan names for most objects are now set to make debugging easier (only in debug builds)
• Renderer fixed usage of wrong instance count in draw calls
• Added deprecated warnings for C++23 backports when switching standard to C++23
• Negative time scales are now ignored
• Fixed a bug which made X11/XWayland the default instead of Wayland on Linux
• Added custom implementation of std::optional with backported functionality from C++23
• Added custom implementation of std::expected with backported functionality from C++23
• Improved code and test coverage
• Added premake-ninja as submodule
• Backported functionality from C++26
• Fixed unstable hash values in PipelineCache
• Profiling systems to profile can now be set with SetTRAPProfileSystems() at runtime
• Added UniqueResource and ScopeFail utility classes from C++ library fundamentals v3 TS
• Reworked FileWatcher (now called FileSystemWatcher)
• Refactored Vulkan code
• Math removed all Perspective() functions which do not use an infinite far plane and reverse Z
• Math removed all Orthographic() functions which are not using reverse Z
• Updated various dependencies (milestone/5)
• Removed USE_RENDER_DOC macro, RenderDoc will inject the capture layer by itself now
• Enabled heterogeneous lookup for std::unordered_map and std::map when using std::string as key
• Texture fixed wrong texture type being used when creating a multi-file cube texture
• MSVC enabled /utf-8 compiler option (required by fmt)

TRAP-Editor changes:

• Scene saving now uses the correct scene
• Fixed SceneGraphPanel tree using the same identifier for all entities

Documentation changes:

• Doxyfile added threadsafety, threadsafe, reentrancy, experimental and callback_signature tags

CI/CD changes:

• Switched from make to ninja for GCC and Clang builds
• Switched from msbuild to ninja for Windows builds
• Enabled second Windows runner
