I have written this PR with github.dev and I don't have all the required packages for building the docs in my docker container. I know from Tomas it's quite a...

+1 same for me. Changing `MSVC_VERSION` to 14.1 just throws a lot of >Unknown compiler version - please run the configure tests and report the results errors.

These `Unknown compiler version` errors are coming from a [boost header file](https://github.com/mitsuba-renderer/dependencies_win64/blob/efbc0ebe12c4ed22d404bd662cd262e34135f8b6/include/boost/config/compiler/visualc.hpp#L320).

For future reference: The 'missing' commit is actually related to swapping out the underlying nanogui repository. `3a74420` is the head of https://github.com/Tom94/nanogui/tree/tev. Git doesn't realize changes in .gitmodules, you have...

Yes the below snippet made this part significantly more performant. I'm additionally avoiding the string copy (alloc + dealloc). It might be useful to push this upstream to Wenzel, in...
