Released Hot Module Replacement loader for A-Frame: https://github.com/supermedium/aframe-super-hot-loader

Major Changes

• Detaching entity from scene will preserve component data. Add
  Entity.destroy() method to clear components and return their memory to the
  pool (#4121).
• Use controller index to determine left / right controllers which may impact
  cases like Vive Trackers. Will look to make this more robust soon (#4013).

v0.9.0

Performance improvements, WebXR support, Inspector updates!

We continued to battle test A-Frame to produce native-like VR experiences and
continue to add large performance gains. We have also introduced initial WebXR
support! Although the spec is heavily in flux and yet to have feature parity
with WebVR 1.1, we had A-Frame get a head start to help test it out and smooth
out the changes.

Major Changes

• Bump to three.js r101 on a branch with a few extra patches for WebXR support (f9f314).
• WebXR support (#3875).
• Remove <a-animation> in favor of new animation component (#3678).
• Remove collada-model component (#3866).
• Add renderer.colorManagement property (disabled by default) to accurately match colors against modeling tools, but may changes in scene colors when flipped on. renderer.gammaFactor will be set to 2.2. Call scene.renderer.systems.applyColorCorrection on THREE.Colors and THREE.Textures to normalize changes (#3757).
• Have raycasters only intersect against objects defined via .setObject3D. raycaster.objects should be specified (e.g., objects: [data-raycastable] or objects: .raycastable) because raycasting is expensive. raycaster.recursive property removed (#3980) but will default to be recursive only under objects defined via .setObject3D (#3652).
• Add renderer component (#3757).
• antialias attribute moved to renderer.antialias.
• Raycaster events such as raycaster-intersected no longer directly contain intersection data. Use .getIntersection function supplied in event detail or el.components.raycaster.getIntersection(el) to retrieve intersection data. Done to reduce garbage (a87e3b).
• Disable link portal appearance by default (link.visualAspectEnabled), link component defaults to purely to listening to an event to trigger navigation (#3743).
