    👌 Improvements

    • Generator: Added @NativeType annotations to generated bindings. Documents the native type of:
      • Callback and struct classes.
      • Struct members.
      • Function parameters and return values.
    • 🏁 The default memory allocator on Windows is now the system allocator instead of jemalloc.
      • jemalloc is not properly optimized for Windows and its performance is not competitive.
      • jemalloc is still a major performance win on Linux and macOS.
      • rpmalloc is faster on all platforms but requires per-thread setup, so must be enabled manually.
    • Buffers created via MemoryUtil may now have up to Integer.MAX_VALUE elements, regardless of element size.
      • For example this allows a LongBuffer allocation of up to 16GB.
    • ➕ Added typed overloads to MemoryUtil::memSet and MemoryUtil::memCopy.
    • StructBuffer subclasses are now Iterable and have stream() and parallelStream() methods.
    • OpenGL: Added LongBuffer overloads to buffer object functions.

    🛠 Fixes

    • bgfx: Fixed signature of bgfx_create_frame_buffer_from_attachment.
    • 🛠 OpenGL: Fixed signature of glPixelStoref.
    • OpenGL: ARB_direct_state_access interactions are now respected when checking if the extension is available.
    • stb_image: added ShortBuffer overload to stbi_image_free.
    • 🛠 stb_truetype: Fixed signature of stbtt_PackFontRangesGatherRects and stbtt_PackFontRangesRenderIntoRects.

    💥 Breaking Changes

    • glfw: Signature of glfwGetError has changed.
    • 🚚 jemalloc: Removed JEmacros and moved its functionality to JEmalloc.
    • jemalloc: ChunkHooks has been replaced by ExtentHooks.
    • 🚚 OpenCL: Removed two confusing clCompileProgram overloads.
