Highlights include:

• Added Model for drawing 3D models using glTF. See the tutorial and Sandcastle example.
• DynamicScene now makes use of Geometry and Appearances, which provides a tremendous improvements to DataSource visualization (CZML, GeoJSON, etc..). Extruded geometries are now supported and in many use cases performance is an order of magnitude faster.
• Added new SelectionIndicator and InfoBox widgets to Viewer, activated by viewerDynamicObjectMixin.
• CesiumTerrainProvider now supports mesh-based terrain like the tiles created by STK Terrain Server.

b25 - 2014-02-03

Highlights include:

• Fixed globe rendering in the current Canary version of Google Chrome.
• Viewer now monitors the clock settings of the first added DataSource for changes, and also now has a constructor option automaticallyTrackFirstDataSourceClock which will turn off this behavior.
• The DynamicObjectCollection created by CzmlDataSource now sends a single collectionChanged event after CZML is loaded; previously it was sending an event every time an object was created or removed during the load process.

Cesium b24

b24 - 2014-01-06

Highlights include:

• The minified, combined Cesium.js file now omits certain DeveloperError checks, to increase performance and reduce file size. When developing your application, we recommend using the unminified version locally for early error detection, then deploying the minified version to production.

• Fixed Geocoder flights when following an object.
• The Viewer widget now clears Geocoder input when the user clicks the home button.
