SDK Update: Release 26.0.0

Summary

Release 26.0.0 is a major update to the core SDK libraries, focusing on precision, accessibility, and performance. Headlining this release is the new 64-bit transform system, providing jitter-free visualization at real-world scales. We’ve also introduced comprehensive touch support for camera interactions and a dynamic performance scaling system.

SDK Library Features & Fixes

Core Engine & Transforms

• Transform64: Introduced Transform64 and GlobalTransform64 to support floating origin behavior with double precision. This ensures stable rendering even at massive geographic coordinates.
• Transform Hierarchy: Updated the base transform system to better support 64-bit hierarchies, ensuring consistent spatial parenting.
• Bevy 0.16 Integration: Full support for the latest Bevy release, leveraging its modern ECS and rendering improvements.

Camera & Input

• Multi-Touch Support: Native camera controller support for touch gestures. Users can now orbit with one finger, and pan or zoom with two fingers.
• Touch Customization: Added CameraInputSettings for fine-tuning touch and mouse sensitivity and smoothing independently.
• Bug Fixes: Resolved issues with touch-based panning causing visual jumps and camera momentum zeroing.

Performance & Diagnostics

• AutoPerfPlugin: New plugin that dynamically scales render settings based on real-time performance targets, ensuring a smooth experience across varying hardware.
• Profiler Improvements: Fixed CPU spinning issues and improved the tracking of profiler spans across multiple threads.
• Interactive Graphs: The profiler now includes an interactive frame history graph for easier performance analysis.

Dagger & Streaming

• Object Space Context: Refined the Dagger API by extracting ServiceObjectSpaceContext, clarifying the separation between transactions and global service state.
• S3 Support: Dagger now supports S3-compatible object storage as an alternative to Azure Blob Storage, providing more flexibility for cloud deployments.
• API Enhancements: Added new administrative APIs for tenant management and improved garbage collection controls for local databases.

UI & Routing

• Dynamic Routing: The fsl_app_router has been simplified and made more dynamic, moving cross-route state management into the ECS for better observability.
• Popout Widgets: Added a new API for popping out widgets into independent OS windows, complete with lifecycle notifications.
• Egui 0.33: Upgraded to the latest egui for improved UI rendering and feature support.
