Release 0.5.4

SuperDemo+ is temporarily disabled for this release due to the high amount of updates to the main engine, we will make it work in the next release.

Runtime compiler improvement

  • Separate SuperAlgorithm+ into two libraries, being SuperAlgorithm+Host for host initialisation, and SuperAlgorithm+Device for device execution.

For static complication, both libraries need to be included with the application. For runtime complication, only SuperAlgorithm+Host is required, and add SuperAlgorithm+Device to library dependencies of JIT linker.

  • Make constants compile-time initialised to eliminate the need of calling initialisation function in STPSimplexNoise.

Shared library

  • SuperTerrain+ engine can now support shared library build.
  • Add STPEngineInitialiser. If shared library is used or there's no other OpenGL contexts bounded to GLAD being created in the application regardlessly, underlying functions must be called before calling other STP APIs to initialise OpenGL and CUDA context.
  • Add CMake option to enable device link on core engine static library build.

General improvement and fixes

  • Change all namespaces in SuperDemo+ to STPDemo for consistent style.
  • Add STPAlgorithmDefine.h and move contents from STPCoreDefine.h.
  • Suffix template name with .in to avoid confusion.
  • Rename STPRainDropSetting.hpp to STPRainDropSetting.h to avoid confusion.
  • Pre-compile glad.c and link to avoid duplicate complications.
  • Further reduces compile time by moving definitions to source files instead of inlining.
  • Remove some redundant CMake codes.
