    👌 Improvements

    • 0️⃣ MemoryStack: Increased default stack size to 64kb (up from 32kb)

    🛠 Fixes

    • 🛠 Assimp: Struct member nullability fixes
    • 🐧 Linux: Removed dependencies to newer GLIBC versions.
    • 🛠 LibOVR: Fixed layout of the ovrInputState struct.
    • 🚚 OpenAL: Removed buffer auto-sizing from alcCaptureSamples. The number of samples must now be specified explicitly, similar to alcRenderSamplesSOFT.
    • Vulkan: Function addresses are now retrieved only once, using the optimal method for each function type.
      • This avoids warnings on pedantic validation layers.
    • 🛠 Fixed callback invocation bugs on 32-bit architectures.
    • 🛠 Fixed various javadoc formatting issues (#308)

    💥 Breaking Changes

    • Mapped more integer parameters and return values to Java boolean, that were missed while working on #181.
      • Xlib's Bool
      • OpenCL's cl_bool
      • DynCall's DCbool
    • 🚚 Moved JNI global reference functions from MemoryUtil to the generated org.lwjgl.system.jni.JNINativeInterface.
    • The Vulkan capabilities have been split into two classes: VKCapabilitiesInstance and VKCapabilitiesDevice.
      • Flags for core Vulkan versions exist in both classes.
      • Flags for instance extensions exist only in VKCapabilitiesInstance.
      • Flags for device extensions exist only in VKCapabilitiesDevice.
      • Functions that dispatch on VkInstance or VkPhysicalDevice exist only in VKCapabilitiesInstance.
      • Functions that dispatch on VkDevice and device-derived handles exist only in VKCapabilitiesDevice.
      • Bootstrapping functions can be retrieved with VK.getFunctionProvider().
