Settings Task

This is mainly a fix release containing lots of improvements and small fixes.

• Settings task: In Voyager story, a new task "settings" provides access to scene and model parameters. Click the settings task button, then select a node in the scene tree to see and adjust its parameters.
• Wireframe now rendered in consistent color
• The size of the pins of the measurement tape scales with the scene size.
• The LOD algorithm now takes the device's maximum texture resolution into account when deciding which derivative to load.
• The way light source transforms are applied changes in this release. Documents created in previous versions need to adjust the position and orientation of their light sources.

Fix Release

• Fixes a bug preventing the creation of annotations in some cases
• Improved media management, drag and drop file upload
• Icons for scene tree visualization

Articles and Media Manager

• Article editor: new task to create articles using the built-in rich text editor. Articles can be displayed in the article reader, a transparent overlay on top of the scene view. Annotations can be linked with articles via link in the annotation's text.
• Media manager: The new media manager helps organizing article media files such as images. Media can be uploaded and inserted into articles via drag and drop.
• Lots of fixes and improvements

Documents and Tours

This release brings a big change in the document data structure and a major new feature: tours!

• New unified document format: The new format replaces the item.json and presentation.json files with a universal scene description format. The new Voyager document format is 99% compatible with glTF, and therefore easy to understand and read for everyone with prior exposure to the well-established glTF format. In the future we might add tools for converting between document.json and glTF.
• With the new document format, Voyager introduces new URL variables:
  • root specifies the root folder for all assets, including the base document, relative to the page URL
  • document specifies the path to the document.json to load, relative to the root
  • The remaining variables model, geometry, and texture work as before (all relative to the root)
• New tour editor: Voyager story comes with a new built-in task to create and edit guided tours. A tour is a sequence of snapshot steps, state captures of the Voyager viewer. When playing a tour, similar to a power-point presentation, the user moves forward (or backward) from step to step. All Voyager properties captured (such as camera position, lights, etc.) are seamlessly animated between steps.
• Lots of fixes and improvements
