GeoTrace 0.9.0
Release Notes
All optimizations, no features, no fixes.
Changed
- Map markers, navigation arrows and fix-loss chevrons are now vector meshes pre-tessellated at build time and drawn with GPU instancing, instead of pre-rasterised bitmaps. They stay sharp at every zoom level and on high-DPI screens, and dense recordings render them in one instanced draw call per icon type rather than one textured quad each.
- Reduced per-frame allocation and hashing in the map's overlay placement pass (satellite labels, sky glyphs, fix icons): reused scratch buffers instead of reallocating, a faster hasher for the decimation grids, stack-allocated vectors for fixed-size temporaries, and the GPU icon instance transform computed once per instance.
- Clip the track plot's masked-fix and unsnapped-point markers to the visible x-range before drawing and hit-testing them, instead of processing the whole track each frame.
- Cache the display settings popup's per-category counts, recomputing only when an input changes instead of walking all loaded points each frame.
