v1.10.0

Features

🆕 Added glTF sheen extension support! We now support all of the released PBR extensions. See fidelity comparisons here. mrdoob/three.js#23069
🆕 Added repetitions and pingpong options to the play() method for better animation control. Thanks @futahei! #3021, #3104
🆕 Added uv coordinates to the output of positionAndNormalFromPoint(). Thanks @BR14Nx! #3043
🆕 Added a zoom() function to allow programmatic camera manipulation equivalent to keyboard/scroll/pinch zoom behavior. #3087
🆕 Default framing now accounts for non-default field of view. This means when you want a custom focal length, you no longer need to calculate and set a corresponding radius in camera-orbit. #3105

Bug fixes

• Fixed slow loading for identical models in multiple elements. ✋BREAKING CHANGE: the setURI method now changes a texture for all models that point to it. To individually change a texture when the same model has been reused, please use the newer createTexture API. #2935
• Fixed setAlphaMode. Thanks @SrirachaSource! #2985
• Reduced shader re-compilation to improve performance. #3045
• Fixed clicks causing extra progress bar advancement. Thanks @mehak08g! #3077
• Workaround for a Safari 15 bug that was causing textures to randomly show up black. #3082
• Output now correctly uses sRGB encoding rather than gamma. This slightly lightened our renders, so you may want to regenerate seamless poster images. #3082
• Fixed some subtle camera errors. #3087
• Fixed variant switching error. Thanks @SrirachaSource! #3086
• Fixed Windows loading performance regression (properly this time). #3004
• Made progress bar advance more linearly. #3110, #3111
