1.6 - 2015-02-02

Highlights include:

• Fixed an issue which caused order independent translucency to be broken on many video cards. Disabling order independent translucency should no longer be necessary.
• GeoJsonDataSource now supports polygons with holes.
• Many Sandcastle examples have been rewritten to make use of the newly improved Entity API.

1.5 - 2015-01-05

Highlights include:

• Improved GeoJSON, TopoJSON, and general polygon loading performance.
• Added caching to Model to save memory and improve loading speed when several models with the same url are created.
• Added ModelNode.show for per-node show/hide.

1.4 - 2014-12-01

Highlights include:

• Added support for touch events on Internet Explorer 11 using the Pointer Events API.
• Added geometry outline width support to the DataSource layer. This is exposed via the new outlineWidth property on EllipseGraphics, EllipsoidGraphics, PolygonGraphics, RectangleGraphics, and WallGraphics.
• Added outlineWidth support to CZML geometry packets.
• Added stroke-width support to the GeoJSON simple-style implementation.
• Added the ability to specify global GeoJSON default styling. See the documentation for details.

1.3 - 2014-11-03

Highlights include:

• Worked around a shader compilation regression in Firefox 33 and 34 by falling back to a less precise shader on those browsers. #2197
• Added support to the CesiumTerrainProvider for terrain tiles with more than 64K vertices, which is common for sub-meter terrain.
• Added Primitive.compressVertices. When true (default), geometry vertices are compressed to save GPU memory.

1.2 - 2014-10-01

Highlights include:

• Fixed model orientations to follow the same Z-up convention used throughout Cesium. There was also an orientation issue fixed in the online model converter. If you are having orientation issues after updating, try reconverting your models.
• Fixed a bug in Model where the wrong animations could be used when the model was created from glTF JSON instead of a url to a glTF file. #2078
• Fixed a bug in GeoJsonDataSource which was causing polygons with height values to be drawn onto the surface.
• Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when quickly adding and removing imagery layers.

1.1 - 2014-09-02

Highlights include:

• Added a new imagery provider, WebMapTileServiceImageryProvider, for accessing tiles on a WMTS 1.0.0 server.
• Added an optional pickFeatures function to the ImageryProvider interface. With supporting imagery providers, such as WebMapServiceImageryProvider, it can be used to determine the rasterized features under a particular location.
• Added ImageryLayerCollection.pickImageryLayerFeatures. It determines the rasterized imagery layer features intersected by a given pick ray by querying supporting layers using ImageryProvider.pickFeatures.

1.0 - 2014-08-01

Highlights include:

• Added camera collision detection with terrain to the default mouse interaction.
• Modified the default camera tilt mouse behavior to tilt about the point clicked, taking into account terrain.
• Modified the default camera mouse behavior to look about the camera's position when the sky is clicked.
• Cesium can now render an unlimited number of imagery layers, no matter how few texture units are supported by the hardware.

b30 - 2014-07-01

• Cesium now supports Internet Explorer 11.0.9 on desktops. For the best results, use the new IE Developer Channel for development.
• ReferenceProperty can now handle sub-properties, for example, myObject#billboard.scale.
• DynamicObject.id can now include period characters.
• Added PolylineGlowMaterialProperty which enables data sources to use the PolylineGlow material.
• Fixed support for embedded resources in glTF models.

b29 - 2014-06-02

Highlights include:

• Added new functions to Cartesian3: fromDegrees, fromRadians, fromDegreesArray, fromRadiansArray, fromDegreesArray3D and fromRadiansArray3D. Added fromRadians to Cartographic.
• Fixed dark lighting in 3D and Columbus View when viewing a primitive edge on. (#592)
• Improved Internet Explorer 11.0.8 support including workarounds for rendering labels, billboards, and the sun.
• Improved terrain and imagery rendering performance when very close to the surface.

b28 - 2014-05-01

Highlights include:

• Added a NavigationHelpButton widget that, when clicked, displays information about how to navigate around the globe with the mouse. The new button is enabled by default in the Viewer widget.
• Added Model.minimumPixelSize property so models remain visible when the viewer zooms out.
• Added DynamicRectangle to support DataSource provided RectangleGeometry.
• Added DynamicWall to support DataSource provided WallGeometry.
