2018.04

Released 2018-05-01, tagged as v2018.04.

Building for Android now requires CMake 3.7 with builtin Android crosscompilation support, the old toolchains were removed. Only the Clang and libc++ toolchain is now supported, support for GCC and libstdc++ was dropped, as it was still missing some important C++11 functionality. See Cross-compiling for Android for more information.

New Leap Motion example showcasing hand tracking (see mosra/magnum-examples#40)
New Triangle using sokol_gfx example showcasing use of Magnum with custom renderers

Simplified the Oculus VR example to a single file with minimal dependencies (see mosra/magnum-examples#39)

It's now possible to build particular examples as if they would be a project root. See Enabling or disabling features and mosra/magnum#241 for more information.
Homebrew macOS packages were updated to install the stable version by default
Fixed the Debian package to not include a revision. While just a warning on Ubuntu, it's a hard error on Debian. (See mosra/corrade#44.)

The WebVR example was fixed to work on Android phones (see mosra/magnum-examples#38)

Released 2018-02-15, tagged as v2018.02. See the release announcement for a high-level overview.

Completely removed NaCl support (see https://blog.chromium.org/2017/05/goodbye-pnacl-hello-webassembly.html)
Dropped support for the old MinGW32 (only MinGW-w64 is supported now)
Bumped minimal CMake version to 2.8.12
Removed support for macOS 10.8 and older
Dropped the compatibility branch and all support for MSVC 2013 and GCC < 4.7

MSVC 2015 and MSVC 2017 support in master branch
ANGLE ES2/ES3 support, ability to create desktop GLES contexts on Windows
Windows Phone/Store support via ANGLE
iOS support
WebAssembly support when building for Emscripten
WebGL 2.0 support
New examples:
- Area Lights example showing a basic Area Lights implementation (see mosra/magnum-examples#31)
- Audio example showing usage of the Audio library and integration with SceneGraph (see mosra/magnum-examples#14, mosra/magnum-examples#18, mosra/magnum-examples#21, mosra/magnum-examples#32)
- Oculus VR example showing integration with Oculus VR using OvrIntegration (see mosra/magnum-examples#10, mosra/magnum-examples#11, mosra/magnum-examples#13, mosra/magnum-examples#15, mosra/magnum-examples#16, mosra/magnum-examples#19, mosra/magnum-examples#22, mosra/magnum-examples#26)
- Object Picking example showing object picking using mouse cursor and Framebuffer readout (see mosra/magnum-examples#12, mosra/magnum-examples#17)
- Shadow map example implementing cascaded shadow mapping (see mosra/magnum-examples#24)
- Triangle using plain GLFW example showing integration into custom platform toolkits
- WebVR example showing basic usage of WebVR (see mosra/magnum-examples#33, mosra/magnum-examples#36)
A new ports branch contains a subset of the examples ported to mobile devices and HTML5

Relicensed all examples from MIT to public domain / UNLICENSE to allow their unencumered use in derived projects
Removed now obsolete framebuffer example, superseded by the Object Picking example
The Motion blur example now uses VSync and minimal frame time to avoid being a CPU hog

Continuous testing for Linux, macOS, Windows MSVC, Windows MinGW, Windows RT, iOS, Android and Emscripten on Travis CI and AppVeyor CI, with code coverage on coveralls.io; replacing the unmaintained and outdated Jenkins configuration
Support for CMake subprojects. You can now clone Magnum Plugins into a subdirectory in your project and add it using add_subdirectory(). The find_package() command will then use the CMake subproject instead of looking for it in system-wide locations.
CMake targets are now organized in folders for better development experience in IDEs such as Visual Studio or Xcode
Added a Homebrew package
MACOSX_RPATH is now enabled by default on CMake 3.0+
Enabling only C++ in CMake project() call, if possible, to speed up initial CMake run

Fixed depth issues in the Model Viewer example when running with 16bit depth buffer (possibly related Firefox bug, see mosra/magnum-examples#34)
Fixed Greek text in the Text rendering example (see mosra/magnum-examples#35)

New documentation theme powered by m.css and related massive updates of everything
All examples, even the ones without a tutorial, have now their dedicated documentation page with a screenshot, source listing and possibly a link to the live web version
The Downloading and building examples documentation now prefers package installation instead of manual build

Released 2015-05-09, tagged as v2015.05. See the release announcement for a high-level overview.

Reworked and simplified the Viewer example, updated it to work with virtually any file format.

All examples are now installable in a way similar to Magnum itself.
Displaying all header files, plugin metadata files and resource files in project view to make use of some IDEs less painful (such as QtCreator).
Added ArchLinux, Debian and Gentoo packages (see mosra/magnum-examples#8).

Released 2014-06-30, tagged as v2014.06. See the release announcement for a high-level overview.
