- model_release(model) frees each primitive's mesh, and each texture once no other model uses it:
the glTF texture cache counts the primitives using each texture (a path loaded again, and a LOD
chain borrowing its LOD0's material, each take a reference); the last one frees the texture and
forgets it along with any remembered material naming it, so a later load is a fresh one
- a scatter layer's instance and sort arrays start at 256 and double as layer_add or a stream
fills them, to the layer's cap, instead of the whole cap up front (0.4 GB in Maroon Lake)
- gvk_tex_read's copy struct comes from the scratch ring
- examples/rendering/release.ludic holds it (RELEASE OK on Vulkan and OpenGL), in the suite
smooth renders pixel-identical before and after (max |d| 0). ludic-dev test 306/306.

A changeset is one small Markdown file describing a single user-facing change,
dropped in this directory. ludic-dev release consumes every changeset here into a new
CHANGELOG.md section, bumps VERSION, and deletes the consumed files.
Format
bump: minor
type: feat
One or more lines describing the change, in the past-agnostic imperative used in
the changelog. Markdown is fine.
bump: — major, minor, or patch (SemVer). The release version is bumped
by the highest level among the pending changesets (unless ludic-dev release <level>
overrides it).
type: — the Conventional Commit type (feat, fix, perf, docs, …). It
decides which group the change lands in: feat → Features, fix →
Fixes, perf → Performance, and so on, in that order. A type with no
known heading gets one named after itself.
Writing the body
The body is markdown and reaches the changelog as markdown: it becomes one list
item, with continuation lines indented to stay inside it. Nested bullets, blank
lines between paragraphs and inline code all survive.
bump: minor
type: feat
**Tiled map support** — load and draw Tiled maps.
- **TMX/TSX** — the XML formats, decoded to the same intermediate as JSON.
- **Collision** — the `collision` layer projects onto the engine tilemap.
Lead with the thing that changed, not with the mechanism. A reader scanning the
release should be able to stop after your first clause.
Adding one
Create a file with a short, unique name, e.g. changes/regex-namespace.md. Any
filename works except this README.md, which the release step always skips.
Preview how the next release will read before cutting it — this writes nothing:
