Hope to have a new version out in April. Renamed “release candidates to developmental” as much is changing.

One of the big shifts is to name classes that serve as interfaces with an “I” prefix. They have defined behavior and usually an implementation. You derived new concrete classes from these. Along with that is the creation of concrete classes marked “final”. This is a C++ keyword that prevents further derivation from them. This is considered good practice, interface classes along with concrete ones. In many ways we have adopted Java and Julia-like features and are sidestepping well-known slicing problems.

Due to current interest, this will probably be the last release of MIXR before possibly moving to Rust and rehosting the capabilities it provides in Bevy.

Due to current interest, we plan to “wrap up” and package current improvements into a release. Eventually we will “divide” or “partition” MIXR into two packages, 1) the simulation/models/physics of entities and interactions and 2) the graphical aspects of displaying a virtual world. The framework has always been organized this way, but explicitly breaking these aspects out into packages will 1) make it more obvious, and 2) significantly reduce the 3rd party dependencies current provided to build, compile and run non-graphical applications. This will also make it easy to put the core simulation aspects into a container for independent execution.
