Cesium 1.7.1

1.7.1 - 2015-03-06

Highlights include:

• Fixed a crash in InfoBox that would occur when attempting to display plain text.

Cesium 1.7

1.7 - 2015-03-02

Highlights include:

• Added initial support for KML 2.2 via KmlDataSource. Check out the new Sandcastle Demo and the reference documentation for more details.
• InfoBox sanitization now relies on iframe sandboxing. This allows for much more content to be displayed in the InfoBox (and still be secure).
• Added InfoBox.frame which is the instance of the iframe that is used to host description content. Sanitization can be controlled via the frame's sandbox attribute. See the above link for additional information.
• Worked around a bug in Safari that caused most of Cesium to be broken. Cesium should now work much better on Safari for both desktop and mobile.

Cesium 1.6

1.6 - 2015-02-02

Highlights include:

• Fixed an issue which caused order independent translucency to be broken on many video cards. Disabling order independent translucency should no longer be necessary.
• GeoJsonDataSource now supports polygons with holes.
• Many Sandcastle examples have been rewritten to make use of the newly improved Entity API.

Cesium 1.5

1.5 - 2015-01-05

Highlights include:

• Improved GeoJSON, TopoJSON, and general polygon loading performance.

Cesium 1.4

1.4 - 2014-12-01

Highlights include:

• Added support for touch events on Internet Explorer 11 using the Pointer Events API.
• Added geometry outline width support to the DataSource layer. This is exposed via the new outlineWidth property on EllipseGraphics, EllipsoidGraphics, PolygonGraphics, RectangleGraphics, and WallGraphics.
• Added outlineWidth support to CZML geometry packets.
• Added stroke-width support to the GeoJSON simple-style implementation.
• Added the ability to specify global GeoJSON default styling. See the documentation for details.

Cesium 1.3

1.3 - 2014-11-03

Highlights include:

• Worked around a shader compilation regression in Firefox 33 and 34 by falling back to a less precise shader on those browsers. #2197
• Added support to the CesiumTerrainProvider for terrain tiles with more than 64K vertices, which is common for sub-meter terrain.
• Added Primitive.compressVertices. When true (default), geometry vertices are compressed to save GPU memory.

Cesium 1.2

1.2 - 2014-10-01

Highlights include:

• Fixed model orientations to follow the same Z-up convention used throughout Cesium. There was also an orientation issue fixed in the online model converter. If you are having orientation issues after updating, try reconverting your models.
• Fixed a bug in Model where the wrong animations could be used when the model was created from glTF JSON instead of a url to a glTF file. #2078
• Fixed a bug in GeoJsonDataSource which was causing polygons with height values to be drawn onto the surface.
• Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when quickly adding and removing imagery layers.

Cesium 1.1

1.1 - 2014-09-02

Highlights include:

• Added a new imagery provider, WebMapTileServiceImageryProvider, for accessing tiles on a WMTS 1.0.0 server.
• Added an optional pickFeatures function to the ImageryProvider interface. With supporting imagery providers, such as WebMapServiceImageryProvider, it can be used to determine the rasterized features under a particular location.
• Added ImageryLayerCollection.pickImageryLayerFeatures. It determines the rasterized imagery layer features intersected by a given pick ray by querying supporting layers using ImageryProvider.pickFeatures.

Cesium 1.0

1.0 - 2014-08-01

Highlights include:

• Added camera collision detection with terrain to the default mouse interaction.
• Modified the default camera tilt mouse behavior to tilt about the point clicked, taking into account terrain.
• Modified the default camera mouse behavior to look about the camera's position when the sky is clicked.
• Cesium can now render an unlimited number of imagery layers, no matter how few texture units are supported by the hardware.
