 - 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";
 
+   // Register a callback for determining our custom loader mimetype
+   NeedleEngineModelLoader.onDetermineModelMimetype(args => {
+    // check if the mimetype is already provided by the server
+    if (args.contentType === "model/stl") {
+        return "model/stl";
+    }
+    // use URL extension if available
+    if (args.url.endsWith(".stl")) {
+        return "model/stl";
+    }
+    // check if first few bytes start with "solid"
+    // this is a very naive check, but it works for most cases
+    if(args.bytes[0] === 0x73 && args.bytes[1] === 0x74 && args.bytes[2] === 0x6c) {
+        return "model/stl";
+    }
+    return null;
+   });
+
+   // Register a callback for creating our custom loader
    NeedleEngineModelLoader.onCreateCustomModelLoader(args => {
-    if (args.filetype === "stl") {
+    if (args.mimetype === "model/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
 - Fix: Debug stats (`?stats`) showing correct draw calls when using postprocessing
+- Fix: `findObjectOfType` does now also search components on the root scene object
 
 ## [4.4.6] - 2025-05-05
