v0.2.1

Major performance improvements

  • GPU-accelerated present — the frame is now scaled on the GPU instead of the CPU, so the frame rate no longer drops as the window grows. Fullscreen / large windows are as fast as small ones.
  • Cut wasted per-tick work — the faithful renderer no longer runs (and gets discarded) when the enhanced pipeline is presenting; ~2× faster per tick.

Plus the enhancement layer from v0.2.0 (interpolation, widescreen, stereo SFX, smooth transitions, F10 overlay — mouse or keyboard).
