Re-architected rendering to happen in a separate thread. Should yield large improvements in framerate and general smoothness (in both VR and non-VR rendering modes). In most cases users will see a doubling of FPS.
Assimp updated to latest development version (improved glTF support, many other changes)
Improvements to animations and bone processing
Updated Oculus SDK to v1.19
Performance improvements to UI panels
General shader optimizations
Smoother particle emissions
Ghost and userid bugfixes
Refactored VR UI controls for simplicity (a return to an older control scheme that worked well)
Backend improvements to portal system and navigation
Faster loading of client
Improvements to rendering performance in equi rendering modes
New room attribute "grab_dist" allows specification of maximum distance at which objects can be grabbed/manipulated with VR controllers
Improvements/bugfixes for XML/JML parsing and case sensitivity
URL anchor support, e.g.:
http://janusvr.com/index.html#anchor
where "anchor" is the jsid of an Object in the Room with its own transform that determines where the portal will open up.
Added FOV slider to Settings > Interface (of use in 2D/windowed and other render modes that are not tied to HMD FOV intrinsics)
Added support for XMLHttpRequest in Javascript scripts, and now both "post" and "get" methods
