v0.7.0
Support for Windows Mixed Reality Headsets and Microsoft Edge and glTF 2.0. Performance improvements to reduce garbage collection cycles.
Major Changes
- Add support for Windows Mixed Reality motion controllers. (#3013)
- Add glTF 2.0 support through upgrading three.js. glTF 1.0 is no longer supported. (#2986)
- Bump THREE to r87. (#2994)
Fixes
- Do not resize the canvas in VR which leads to resolution drop (#3031).
- Fix component build data when
previousData
is object and a property has anull
default value. (#3021) - Fix calculating mouse position for embedded scenes. (#2942)
- Fix missing detail property in a-scene onVRPresentChange. (#2920)
- Fix updates for the line component. (#2906)
Enhancements
- Handle
vrdisplayconnect
andvrdisplaydisconnect
events in VREffect and VRControls. (#3019) - Allow text component to take a number value. (6cbdac)
- Handle
vrdisplaypointerrestricted
event ina-scene
. (#3014) - Allow decoupling of touch events in look-contols. (#3012)
- Add support for VR headsets that do not provide
stageParameters
. (#3000) - Moves canvas initialization logic from a component to the scene. (#2985)
- Listen to
vrdisplayconnect
andvrdisplaydisconnect
to enter and exit VR when headset is plugged or unplugged. (#2900) - Add title info to Enter VR button. (#2905)
- Cursor example improvements. (#2916)
- Add
vertexColors
property to base material component. (#2901) - Add
emissive

- Do not clone
attrValue
attributes into data anymore to reduce cloning. (#2939) - Optimize a-entity code. (#2959)
- Optimize wasd-controls with early returns and skipping of type checking. (#2945)
- Optimize vec3 parse utility. (#2947)
- Optimize component change/initialize events. (#2950)
- Optimize look-controls by reducing object allocations and skipping of type checking. (#2944)
- Optimize emit method by removing split/map/callback calls and allocations. (#2941)
- Save a couple of function callbacks and array creations on each frame. (#2937)
- Remove inline functions for critical code paths in tracked-controls/raycaster/component for garbage collection. (#2936)
- Do not update component when data not changed even if skipping type checking. (#2917)
