2019.10 release

[mosra]

It's becoming very unlikely that I'll be able to release 2019.0b until the end of May, which means no 2019.05. Because my OCD forces me to release on even-numbered months 😆, the next release will be 2019.07, optimistically at the beginning of July well... 2019.09. Actually, what's wrong with 2019.10?

Things to do (list expected to grow slightly):

• Finalize initial Python bindings and put them into master (Python bindings magnum-bindings#1)
  • Bind shader APIs
  • Bind also textures and images, importers
  • Look into faster buffer protocol
  • Finish search and symbol crosslinking for Python docs
  • Windows support (Changes to enable Windows build magnum-bindings#2)
  • Port the textured triangle and viewer examples
  • And publish a blog post
  • Expose remaining primitives -- mosra/magnum-bindings@e334cc1
  • The Windows static build on CI gets stuck when running Magnum tests -- mosra/corrade@01d8cdd, 909887a
• Fix issues with multiple Context instances when having multiple *.sos with static Magnum (weak symbols, hopefully?) -- mosra/corrade@1bef569, e52c9e8
  • Explicit static build testing for this in Corrade (plugin managers, Debug) and Magnum (GL/Audio Context) -- mosra/corrade@21ec227, 59aade7
  • Make this work on Windows as well (thread_locals can't be dllexported and this damn platform doesn't have weak symbols, so this needs to be a crazy mess of DllMain and calling GetProcAddress on itself) -- mosra/corrade@7b98f19, 24f7d45
• Update for MSVC 2019 support (Support for VS2019 #343)
  • Test on the CIs
  • Adapt bootstrap projects (and add MSVC2019 CI for them) Corrade VS2019 support #354
• Integrate the DART example (DART example magnum-examples#63)
  • And the blog post :)
• Mention MeshTools::compile() in the Primitives example -- mosra/magnum-examples@92fd404
• Mention that one can use Shaders::Flat for the textured triangle example as well
• A simple framebuffer example (the motionblur one is not simple), simpler docs for the GL::Framebuffer class -- dbb4cb3
• Update ImGui to latest version, link proper frameworks on macOS (Remove ImGui dependency on ApplicationServices once 1.72b is widely used enough magnum-integration#48)
• Merge Emscripten application (Emscripten application #300 and related PRs in other repos)
  • And publish a blog post, ideally -- https://blog.magnum.graphics/announcements/new-emscripten-application-implementation/
• Everything else in the 2019.0b milestone
  • vcpkg doc improvements dox: Fix vcpkg install everything command #368 postponed
  • look into emscripten issues Empty EmscriptenApplication Crashed #376 postponed
  • finish the resourcemanager iteration Added function to retrieve all the resources<T> from the ResourceManager #364, Add support for iterating all the resource<T> from a ResourceManager. #363 (I should have a branch with it) postponed, not time-critical
  • ImGui Static Lib Stuff magnum-integration#55 postponed
  • Rendering without having the main loop owned by magnum magnum-bindings#6
• Finish MeshData rework to support memory-mapped data and not require STL containers postponed: Mesh Data rework #371
  • Rework MeshTools to not require STL containers
  • Introduce a MeshConverter plugin interface (and integrate zeux's meshoptimizer through that)
  • And publish a blog post 😅
• Enable GlfwApplication in all packages, because people like to use it -- 8110de3
• Conan package? Conan package #304 postponed
• Make it possible to disable all install() commands for cmake subproject users (or does EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL handle that? -- yes it does!)
• Workaround Windows AMD issue with CubeMapTexture and setStorage() (reuse some Intel workarounds?) -- ca326fd
• Try to reproduce and workaround Intel issue with Text example not rendering anything with DSA (on version 26, v23 works) -- can't reproduce on v26 (maybe the recent various shader fixes did the trick?)
• Look into BufferTexture crashes on macOS (someone / some company needs to buy me a Mac) nobody bought me a mac 😢
• Make usage with CMake subprojects less shitty (Better document usage of static plugins so it's clearer with CMake subproject setup #357, PluginManager::Manager::load(): cannot load plugin AssimpImporter magnum-plugins#63, ...)
  • if a subproject setup is detected, put all binaries into ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin, for example, and plugins into a corresponding subdirectories -- mosra/corrade@73d3f31 and similar in other repos
  • Bundle the metadata into the binary so it doesn't have to be dragged around (reuse corrade-rc, add --tool [compile|embed|extract] to it, for example, append with some magic around (0x1c0ffee1<file-offset>1c0ffee1 on both sides, e.g.), but still make it possible to have that file externally for manual updates postponed, with the change done in mosra/corrade@73d3f31, it's a much smaller pain point than before and not sure if the benefit is worth the added complexity
• Resolve issues with multiple PluginManager instances, make it reasonably thread-safe (Multi-Threading support for Corrade::PluginManager? corrade#65)
• Complete shader tests for all other shaders
  • add benchmarks postponed, too much work RN
• Look into Blinn-Phong, verify it's indeed faster (Use Phong shader for rendering scenes facebookresearch/habitat-sim#152 (comment)) postponed, needs the benchmarks
• Version headers for all repos postponed, not having a clear idea on how to do this w/o Git available (e.g. a ZIP source download)
• fix too fast mouse clicks under ImGui (mouse press & release can't happen in the same frame) -- mosra/magnum-integration@84fa6d8
• relative mouse movement in AndroidApplication (the primitives example ports branch doesn't build) -- 9fad161
• implement https://github.com/graphitemaster/normals_revisited -- 515637c
  • use it instead of rotationScaling() for setNormalMatrix()
• clarify SceneGraph initialTransformationMatrix -- it's not initial and it's not pre-transformed either -- 8c7c2c5
• reference Optional as a safer alternative (but with overhead) from all NoCreate constructors -- d06914a
• Deprecate DebugTools resource manager singleton -- 607b3a1
• Gradle-less Android build for examples because I have no patience for that crap anymore -- mosra/magnum-examples@d64c155
  • And bootstrap project -- mosra/magnum-bootstrap@aba2e7b
• Copy Emscripten extra stuff into the build dir for all examples so it can be run from a build dir -- mosra/magnum-examples@09d5e01
  • And for the bootstrap project -- mosra/magnum-bootstrap@9f44099, mosra/magnum-bootstrap@08a2558
• Remove now-unneeded NVidia EGL workaround (it was my bug, not NVidia's) -- 507c5bf
