+V1.5
+
+- %Database subsystem with either SQLite or ODBC support.
+- %Localization subsystem.
+- Improved the navigation / crowd navigation API and examples.
+- SSE and animation performance optimizations.
+- Urho3D macros such as OBJECT, EVENT, HANDLER renamed to have URHO3D_ prefix to prevent ambiguity with other libraries.
+- Double support to %Variant, %Deserializer, %Serializer & %JSONValue. Store Lua object attributes accurately as doubles.
+- Support for moving nodes & components between scenes, or creating components "sceneless" and moving into a scene later.
+- Cubemap loading from DDS files.
+- Refactored the object class registration mechanism to store the object's base class for "Is this class derived from this" queries.
+- Optional "raw" Lua file loading through direct filesystem access for easier debugging.
+- Configurable blend mode in renderpath quad commands.
+- UV coordinates added to raycast results.
+- Allow submitting bare function names instead of full signature to Execute() & DelayedExecute() in AngelScript, similar to specifying event handler functions.
+- Allow negative scale for nodes.
+- Culling camera optimization for viewports, to allow rendering multiple viewports with the same culling data set.
+- Refactor Urho2D animation playback. Add optional Spine support (user must supply Spine runtime.)
+- Refactor Urho2D sprite atlas handling.
+- %CollisionShape acquires model resource from %StaticModel in same node automatically if collision model undefined.
+- Request the high-power GPU on AMD multi-GPU setups.
+- API for programmatic animation track & keyframe creation.
+- Added %AnimationController IsAtEnd() function.
+- Added "remove on completion" mechanism to %AnimationController.
+- Added function to remove all components of type to %Node.
+- Added GetParentComponent() function to %Node.
+- Added resource memory usage stats to %DebugHud.
+- Support for ScanDir() on Android.
+- Improve %Variant / VariantMap bindings on Lua.
+- Improve internal mechanisms for Lua bindings, e.g. store Urho3D context inside Lua state global table.
+- Improve API for kNet connection stats.
+- Improve AngelScript GetChildrenWithClassName() to return also derived classes.
+- Improve %UI tab behavior
+- Improved navigation debug geometry
+- Improve ConvexCast by taking into account %CollisionShape's offset position & rotation.
+- %Spline class cleanup & improvements, including linear interpolation mode, and looping Catmull-Rom mode.
+- Refactored %JSONValue class to be more JSON-like.
+- %Material render order support within a pass.
+- MM_FREE mouse mode, which disassociates cursor visibility from being confined inside the window.
+- Allow doubleclick event in %UI over emptiness
+- Make %Octree::Raycast() threadsafe.
+- GetGLContext() added to %GraphicsImpl on OpenGL to allow the application to perform manual context switching.
+- Fixes for vertex texture fetch on D3D11.
+- Allow optional forced creation of CPU-only vertex & index buffers also in non-headless operation.
+- Unified texture upload behavior: half-float formats need to be provided as such on both D3D & OpenGL. Added float/half-float conversion functions.
+- Automatic generation of intermediate directories in %FileSystem::CreateDir().
+- Warn if attempting infinite distance physics raycast. Remove erroneous infinity default value from AngelScript physics raycast bindings.
+- Allow non-strict numeric type to be returned from %Variant, e.g. GetFloat() succeeds for an int.
+- Allow to disable %PhysicsWorld or %PhysicsWorld2D automatic simulation stepping during scene update. When disabled, the physics world can still be stepped manually.
+- Support for manual advancing of value animations.
+- globalVars VariantMap for AngelScript to allow easy cross-ScriptFile parameter passing.
+- Improve ConvexCast() to return distance using the hit fraction.
+- Ensure normalized vertex weights in AssetImporter, and clamp to 4 weights maximum instead of error, by dropping the smallest weights.
+- Emscripten ETC1 & PVRTC extension support detection.
+- Emscripten hardware instancing support.
+- emscripten_get_now() for better timer precision and less CPU use.
+- Disable frame limiter Sleep() on Emscripten.
+- Disable audio output in C++ samples where it isn't necessary.
+- Remove redundant glEnable() / glDisable() calls related to OpenGL texture types.
+- Removed defined_ member variable from %BoundingBox, %Sphere & %Rect in favor of determining the definedness from the bounds being valid.
+- Invalid order checking for Lua binding overloads.
+- Dangerous math class constructors marked explicit.
+- Properly enabled multithreading in GCC/Clang builds.
+- Emscripten toolchain & build related fixes and improvements.
+- Clang tools support in the build.
+- Annotator & script binding extractor skeleton tools in preparation for generated script bindings.
+- Build improvements for CLion IDE.
