+# WasmGPU changelog
+All release notes of WasmGPU are recorded in this file.
+
+## [v0.7.0](https://www.github.com/Zushah/WasmGPU/releases/tag/v0.7.0) - 03/30/2026
+The eighth release of WasmGPU. Commits: [`v0.6.0...v0.7.0`](https://www.github.com/Zushah/WasmGPU/compare/v0.6.0...v0.7.0)
+- Added an interactive analysis stack built around GPU ID-pass picking, rectangular and lasso region selection, composable overlay layers, and an annotation toolkit, so applications can move from raw hits to typed selections, legends, triads, probes, markers, and distance or angle measurements.
+- Added richer geometry coverage with 2D primitives plus cartesian and parametric curves/surfaces, which makes WasmGPU much more usable for analytical plotting and procedural scenes.
+- Added a unified scale transform model shared across pointclouds, glyphfields, data materials, and compute-powered statistics, so scalar remapping, clamping, percentiles, log or symlog domains, gamma, and inversion behave consistently across programs.
+- Changed camera interaction from separate modes into a unified navigation system with bounds-based scene/object framing, canonical inspection views, and corrected orbit behavior around the poles, which makes interaction and inspection much more coherent across camera frameworks.
+- Changed frame and load pipelines to have greater performance by moving transform propagation hot paths, frustum culling preparation, pointcloud/glyphfield/geometry bounds computation, and glTF accessor decoding/converting into the Rust WebAssembly driver, while also optimizing the pointcloud shader, reducing JavaScript overhead on several of the frequently exercised visualization workloads.
+- Changed renderer presentation configuration by allowing the swap chain format to be set explicitly.
+- Fixed glyphfields appearing pitch black by making them unlit by default.
+- Added controls, picking, scaling, overlay, fluid, graphing, and protein examples, as well as the new website.
+
+## [v0.6.0](https://www.github.com/Zushah/WasmGPU/releases/tag/v0.6.0) - 03/06/2026
+The seventh release of WasmGPU. Commits: [`v0.5.0...v0.6.0`](https://www.github.com/Zushah/WasmGPU/compare/v0.5.0...v0.6.0)
+- Added first-class scientific visualization primitives with dedicated WebGPU render paths for point clouds and glyph fields, including storage-buffer-backed per-element data, engine-level scene integration, and correct participation in frustum culling and transparent sorting.
+- Added a colormap system and a data-driven mesh material so scalar and vector fields can be mapped to color in a principled way, including built-in colormaps and custom palettes or stops, plus domain, clipping, gamma, inversion, and optional lighting blend controls for scientific rendering.
+- Added an ndarray abstraction spanning WebAssembly memory and WebGPU storage buffers, and added Python-in-the-browser interoperability utilities so numerical arrays can be transferred with explicit dtype and shape semantics across Python, JavaScript, WebAssembly, and WebGPU compute pipelines.
+- Added asynchronous WebGPU readback utilities based on a persistent ring of staging buffers so repeated buffer readbacks can be pipelined without creating new staging resources for every read.
+- Changed engine ergonomics by adding high-level factories for math primitives, textures, transforms, glTF utilities, and animation objects, and added trackball camera controls as an additional navigation mode alongside orbit controls.
+- Fixed correctness and robustness in core compute and shader paths by correcting WebGPU queue write ranges for typed array views, replacing fragile NaN handling in argreduce kernels, and improving WebAssembly allocation alignment to 16 bytes for safer high-throughput data access.
+- Changed build output by minifying WGSL at buildtime to reduce bundled file sizes.
+
+## [v0.5.0](https://www.github.com/Zushah/WasmGPU/releases/tag/v0.5.0) - 02/23/2026
+The sixth release of WasmGPU. Commits: [`v0.4.0...v0.5.0`](https://www.github.com/Zushah/WasmGPU/compare/v0.4.0...v0.5.0)
+- Added a sophisticated WebGPU compute API (pipelines, storage/uniform buffers, dispatch helpers, batching, and limit validation) so GPGPU workloads can be run alongside rendering.
+- Added a library of GPU parallel primitives (reduce/argreduce, exclusive scan, stream compaction, radix sort, and histogram) so common data workloads don’t require rewriting core kernels per project.
+- Added camera controls for orbit/pan/zoom navigation and a configurable HUD for FPS, CPU, GPU, memory, and culling stats.
+- Changed core performance paths to reduce unnecessary work and CPU overhead by skipping projection dirtying when camera parameters are unchanged, adding per-index transform dirty tracking with partial updates, and optimizing frustum culling as well as renderer buffer-view hot paths.
+- Changed the build/runtime performance envelope by enabling SIMD128 on the WebAssembly driver, optimizing it with Binaryen's wasm-opt.exe, and bumping the TypeScript target to ES2023.
+- Fixed glTF correctness and coverage by allocating normal scratch indices as u32, adding 8-influence skinning support, supporting the specular glossiness material extension, improving the UV-set selection, and correcting skinning to use the mesh bind matrix rather than the current world inverse.
+- Fixed robustness and shader correctness by hardening texture upload handling and correcting SMAA uniform layout alignment and fullscreen UV winding.
+
+## [v0.4.0](https://www.github.com/Zushah/WasmGPU/releases/tag/v0.4.0) - 02/15/2026
+The fifth release of WasmGPU. Commits: [`v0.3.0...v0.4.0`](https://www.github.com/Zushah/WasmGPU/compare/v0.3.0...v0.4.0)
+- Added a glTF 2.0 loading & importing pipeline that constructs runtime scenes/meshes/materials from `.gltf` & `.glb` files, including PBR/unlit material translation and a real texture abstraction with mipmaps and sampler mapping.
+- Added glTF animation and skinning support, with TRS sampling executed in WebAssembly and per-skin joint matrices generated and streamed to WebGPU storage buffers.
+- Added frustum culling to skip submitting off-screen meshes, using world-space bounds with a WebAssembly sphere-frustum kernel and optional culling stats for visibility debugging.
+- Added SMAA as an optional post-process anti-aliasing path (offscreen scene-color & edge/weight/neighborhood passes) to improve visual quality on single-sampled swapchains.
+- Fixed renderer internals to eliminate per-frame WebAssembly allocations in camera/lighting/model uniform staging buffers, pipeline cache keys, uniform packing, per-mesh world matrix reads, instanced pointer allocations, material uniform arrays, and bind group layouts.
+
+## [v0.3.0](https://www.github.com/Zushah/WasmGPU/releases/tag/v0.3.0) - 02/08/2026
+The fourth release of WasmGPU. Commits: [`v0.2.1...v0.3.0`](https://www.github.com/Zushah/WasmGPU/compare/v0.2.1...v0.3.0)
+- Changed the WebAssembly backend from AssemblyScript to Rust and expanded the WebAssembly integration into a pointer-first runtime layer suitable for high-performance engine subsystems.
+- Changed renderer data flow to be WebAssembly-memory-first: uniform data is staged in WebAssembly and uploaded zero-copy to WebGPU buffers, with model matrices uploaded directly from Transform WebAssembly storage and normal matrices computed in WebAssembly.
+- Changed Transform into a WebAssembly-owned structure-of-arrays (SoA) store with batched local/world matrix updates, enabling fewer allocations and fewer cross-boundary calls in the hot path.
+- Added bounded per-frame scratch allocation via a WebAssembly frame arena (reset every frame) to avoid unbounded heap growth and keep transient buffers in WebAssembly memory.
+- Changed renderer submission to reduce CPU overhead by caching global bind groups, batching opaque draw submission, and adding WebGPU instancing support for large runs of identical pipeline/material/geometry.
+- Fixed Transform lifetime management by adding disposal and slot reuse via a free list, preventing long-running scenes from leaking Transform slots.
+
+## [v0.2.1](https://www.github.com/Zushah/WasmGPU/releases/tag/v0.2.1) - 02/05/2026
+The third release of WasmGPU. Commits: [`v0.2.0...v0.2.1`](https://www.github.com/Zushah/WasmGPU/compare/v0.2.0...v0.2.1)
+- Added base64 backup for WebAssembly embedded in `./dist/math.js` so that it can be utilized even if `./dist/math.wasm` is unavailable or inaccessible to the client.
+- Fixed distorted cylinder and prism geometry.
+- Fixed incorrect normal matrix calculation.
+
+## [v0.2.0](https://www.github.com/Zushah/WasmGPU/releases/tag/v0.2.0) - 02/03/2026
+The second release of WasmGPU. Commits: [`v0.1.0...v0.2.0`](https://www.github.com/Zushah/WasmGPU/compare/v0.1.0...v0.2.0)
+- Engine and scene graph: new engine/renderer separation with a high-level render loop, scene/mesh/transform primitives and parented transforms, built-in geometry helpers (box, plane, sphere, torus, cylinder, pyramid, prism), and perspective/orthographic camera functions with `lookAt()` and aspect handling.
+- Materials and lighting: PBR-ish `StandardMaterial` (color, metallic, roughness, emissive) as well as `UnlitMaterial` and `CustomMaterial` support, material uniform and bind-group management, texture/sampler support, and proper model/normal matrix handling for lighting.
+- Builds, WebAssembly, and runtime: AssemblyScript math module (`./build/math.wasm` and `./build/math.js`) with lazy initialization, both ESM and IIFE `./dist/` bundles ready for CDN use, and shader/pipeline and GPU buffer (vertex/index/uniform) management.
+
+## [v0.1.0](https://www.github.com/Zushah/WasmGPU/releases/tag/v0.1.0) - 02/01/2026
+The first release of WasmGPU. Commits: [`v0.0.0...v0.1.0`](https://www.github.com/Zushah/WasmGPU/compare/ae3c900860a218f8c52db1d86f9ce54163e9bb6a...v0.1.0)
+- WebGPU renderer is up and running with a rotating cube demo.
+- AssemblyScript → WebAssembly math module integrated and callable from TypeScript.

+    and the Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses,
+    this License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
+    under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
+    the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the
+    Covered Software under the terms of either this License or such
+    Secondary License(s).
+
+    3.4. Notices
+    You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
+    (including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
+    or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
+    the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
+    the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
+
+    3.5. Application of Additional Terms
+    You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
+    indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of
+    Covered Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf,
+    and not on behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear
+    that any such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is
+    offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor
+    for any liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty,
+    support, indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include
+    additional disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability
+    specific to any jurisdiction.
+
+4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
+
+If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License
+with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to statute,
+judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of
+this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations
+and the code they affect. Such description must be placed in a text file
+included with all distributions of the Covered Software under this License.
+Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description
+must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill
+to be able to understand it.
+
+5. Termination
+
+    5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
+    if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
+    compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
+    Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
+    Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
+    ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
+    non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
+    come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
+    Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
+    notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means,
+    this is the first time You have received notice of non-compliance with
+    this License from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to
+    30 days after Your receipt of the notice.
+
+    5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
+    infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
+    counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
+    directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted
+    to You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under
+    Section 2.1 of this License shall terminate.
+
+    5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
+    end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
+    have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
+    prior to termination shall survive termination.
+
+6. Disclaimer of Warranty
+
+Covered Software is provided under this License on an “as is” basis, without
+warranty of any kind, either expressed, implied, or statutory, including,
+without limitation, warranties that the Covered Software is free of defects,
+merchantable, fit for a particular purpose or non-infringing. The entire risk
+as to the quality and performance of the Covered Software is with You.
+Should any Covered Software prove defective in any respect, You
+(not any Contributor) assume the cost of any necessary servicing, repair,
+or correction. This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an essential part of
+this License. No use of any Covered Software is authorized under this
+License except under this disclaimer.
+
+7. Limitation of Liability
+
+Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort
+(including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall any Contributor, or
+anyone who distributes Covered Software as permitted above, be liable to
+You for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages
+of any character including, without limitation, damages for lost profits,
+loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and
+all other commercial damages or losses, even if such party shall have been
+informed of the possibility of such damages. This limitation of liability
+shall not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from
+such party’s negligence to the extent applicable law prohibits such
+limitation. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
+incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion and limitation may
+not apply to You.
+
+8. Litigation
+
+Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the courts of
+a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal place of business
+and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that jurisdiction, without
+reference to its conflict-of-law provisions. Nothing in this Section shall
+prevent a party’s ability to bring cross-claims or counter-claims.
+
+9. Miscellaneous
+
+This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject matter
+hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be unenforceable,
+such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it
+enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides that the language of a
+contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not be used to construe
+this License against a Contributor.
+
