CesiumJS 1.92

1.92 - 2022-04-01

Highlights include:

• Added experimental support for the 3D Tiles 1.1 draft. #10189
• Added support for EXT_structural_metadata property attributes in CustomShader #10228
• Added partial support for EXT_structural_metadata property textures in CustomShader #10247
• Added minimumPixelSize, scale, and maximumScale to ModelExperimental. #10092
• Cesium3DTileset now has a splitDirection property, allowing the tileset to only be drawn on the left or right side of the screen. This is useful for visual comparison of tilesets. #10193
• Removed Cesium.when. Any Promise in the Cesium API has changed to the native Promise API. Code bases using cesium will likely need updates after this change. See the upgrade guide for instructions on how to update your code base to be compliant with native promises.

CesiumJS 1.87.1

1.87.1 - 2021-11-09

Highlights include:

• Added experimental implementations of 3D Tiles Next. The following extensions are supported:
  • 3DTILES_content_gltf for using glTF models directly as tile contents
  • 3DTILES_metadata for adding structured metadata to tilesets, tiles, or groups of tile content
  • EXT_mesh_features for adding feature identification and feature metadata to glTF models
  • 3DTILES_implicit_tiling for a compact representation of quadtrees and octrees
  • 3DTILES_bounding_volume_S2 for S2 bounding volumes
  • 3DTILES_multiple_contents for storing multiple contents within a single tile
• Added ModelExperimental, a new experimental architecture for loading glTF models. It is disabled by default; set ExperimentalFeatures.enableModelExperimental = true to enable it.
• Added CustomShader class for styling Cesium3DTileset or ModelExperimental with custom GLSL shaders
• Added Sandcastle examples for 3D Tiles Next: Photogrammetry Classification, CDB Yemen, and S2 Globe
