Native binary format coming which will save and load animated meshes, static meshes, all texture types etc.
As well as some documentation.

Added our own binary format, compression and encryption coming soon.
We made a comparison in loading a 18mb binary .x file
DEBUG:
60000ms for .x
40ms for .baw
RELEASE:
1800ms for .x
14ms for .baw
This means we are hitting the disk-read-speed bottleneck.
Known issue: Loading skinned meshes from a .baw file leaks memory.

Fixes:
Fixed all memory leaks.
Added safe bitfield export and import on serializable classes
Core:
Moved to C++11
Added AES128 Encryption, LZMA compression and GCM auth to BAW format
Added per-context state tracking for non-shareable opengl container objects such as active VAO, FBOs, Samplers and XForm Feedbacks
Extensions:
added a matrix AVX vs. SSE benchmark as an example
provided a 'command-line' convert2BAW tool for converting all supported mesh formats to .baw
Also we have branches for :
C++11 threading and atomic fast locks
VAO cache for multithreaded drawing and in the future, mesh loading and streaming to GPU
this branch also includes c++11 macros and base classes to make uncopyable and unassignable classes.
as well as the change from map<> to unordered_map<> for the per-context sampler cache

A decision has been made to move ahead with providing a dual rendering backend of OpenGL and Vulkan, with OpenGL support to be dropped as soon as our Vulkan driver is mature and Intel stops supporting the integrated GPUs which don't support Vulkan on windows.
This is because we will be porting the engine to android.

Haven't been to Irrlicht forum for years. But wow, Irrlicht-Vulkan combination would be great.

Merged the Mesh Optimizer branch, its available in the engine via the API and in the convert2BAW tool.
It does everything that AMD Compressonator does to meshes, but more slowly, and uses a different method for normal attribute compression.
Will add support for glTF 2.0 and the AMD Compressonator tool in the future.
(also want to add support for keyframe dropping, animation optimization and compression -- hopefully there is a 3rd party library for that)
