I'm very close to having the new shader pipeline work with the glslang front-end, which will give us free HLSL support as well. Since HLSL is almost identical in syntax...

Looks like we can continue to support Cg shaders pretty well with the new shaderpipeline, with only a few features not being supported optimally. But since Cg is not being...

I would also like to consider using column-major 3x4 matrices to store the transforms--this will be mostly an implementation detail hidden behind Transform, except that it excludes projective transforms, which...

Nothing, unless you're dealing with TransformState objects directly, which is unlikely. Otherwise, probably very minor API changes from TransformState to Transform. Details are yet to be worked out, of course.

Is this a work in progress?

Well, it calls methods that do not exist, and are marked in the comments as "Hypothetical functions".

All mount points are read from the config file at the first Panda3D import. You can use the API to mount a ramdisk at runtime. Fixing this requires adding a...

I'm open to this as long as we reach concensus on how to deal with sections, and as long as we can do all this without having to maintain two...

The main philosophical difference between TOML and .ini is that the former is structured and has explicit types. However, Panda's config system doesn't need the explicit typing info, since the...

IMO this is quite low-priority as you can already do this in Panda today with a custom filter. I would rather focus on building improving our infrastructure for people to...
