Third-Party Code
----------------

- Updated assimp 3rdparty library to version 3.3.1

Important Changes
-----------------

 - Added zooming with the mouse scroll wheel to
   QFirstPersonCameraController and QOrbitCameraController.
 - Updated assimp scene importer to load simple keyframe and morphing animations.
 - New Animation module supporting key framed animations.
 - New Scene2D module supporting rendering Qt Quick within Qt 3D scenes and
   interacting with them.
 - Level of details support.
 - 2D distance field and 3D geometric text support.
 - Physics Based Rendering support.

Render
------

 - Added new QBufferCapture frame graph node to support QBuffer readback.
 - Added new QMemoryBarrier frame graph node.
 - Added EnvironmentLight type for environment mapping. Works well with PBR materials
   in Qt3DExtras to give realistic lighting and specular reflections.
 - Added support for level of detail with the QLevelOfDetail component and helpers.
   Allows switching based upon distance from camera or projected screen size.
 - Lots of performance and stability fixes.

Scene2D
-------

 - Added new Scene2D module, which allows rendering Qt Quick content to Qt 3D
   texture and using it as part of a 3D scene.

Animation
---------

 - Added technology preview of new Animation module.
 - Added new animation classes to support loading animations using assimp scene loader.
 - Added support for defining key framed animations or loading them from file.
 - Added an animation export script for Blender
 - Added classes to play back simple key frame animations and apply the animation to
   arbitrary QObjects or QNodes.
 - Added classes to support play back and blending of key frame animations. This allows
   dynamically combining libraries of animation clips at runtime.

Extras
------

 - Added support for Physically Based Rendering with QMetalRough and QTexturedMetalRough
   materials.
 - Added new QText2Entity for distance field based 2D planar text in 3D scenes.
 - Added QExtrudedTextMesh and QExtrudedTextGeometry classes to support 3D text rendering.
 - Added new QMorphPhongMaterial to support mesh morphing and phong lighting model.
 - Added new QTextureMaterial to support simple unlit textured geometry.
 - Improved API consistency between QML and C++

Examples
--------

 - Added new simple custom material and advanced custom material examples.
 - Modified multiviewport example rendered content.
 - Added new Scene2D example to showcase the new feature.
