+- Add: `NeedleEngineModelLoader` namespace with methods to provide custom file loaders to load unsupported 3D model formats. For example to load STL files:
+   ```ts
+   import { NeedleEngineModelLoader } from "@needle-tools/engine";
+
+   NeedleEngineModelLoader.onCreateCustomModelLoader(args => {
+    if (args.filetype === "stl") {
+        const stlLoader = new STLLoader();
+        return stlLoader;
+    }
+   });
+   ```
 - Add: Experimental attribute to autostart **AR**: `<needle-engine autostart="ar">`
 - Add: Modify the QR code button URL via `ButtonsFactory.instance.qrButtonUrl = https://yourwebsite.de`
+- Add: ContactShadows `manualUpdate` boolean. When enabled the ContactShadows component will not automatically re-render every frame. When enabled then set `needsUpdate=true` to manually schedule contact shadows re-render
+- Change: Needle Engine loading view is now transparent by default. The `loading-background` attribute can be used to add custom styling like `<needle-engine loading-background="#000" />`. Alternatively the `<needle-engine>` web component or background can be styled.
+- Removed: Web component attributes: `loading-background-color`, `loading-style`, `loading-text-color`
 - Fix: Vite HMR (Hot Module Replacement) working nicely with browser breakpoints and debugging
