Farfield

Changes since v0.1.0:

• build: both loaders' jars copied to output/ by every build (ADR-110)
• fix(preview): real chunks beside the preview stand at their lowest ground (ADR-109)
• fix(preview): features under the sea take the place of its water
• feat(preview): kelp and seagrass in the preview's water; silent agent clients
• fix(preview): a BiomeManager ModernFix leaves alone for the surface rules
• perf(preview): half the preview's threads, not one, while new chunks come in
• perf(preview): surface rules sample a biome per quart column
• feat(preview): the ground comes from the generator's surface rules
• fix(render): the preview gives way in the shader at the generation front
• feat(client): flight record and replay, frame probe for short glitches
• fix(build): Connector reads a clean game jar in the pack run
• feat(build): pack run beside the dev client, fresh worlds, agent runner
• feat(client): agent dev clients open unfocused and minimized
• feat(client): agent inbox drives the dev client without keystrokes
• fix(preview): do not leave a chunk to a coarse stand-in
• fix(lod): an unmeshed section with ready children lets the descent through
• fix(preview): swap the meshes of one mask change in one frame
• fix(preview): leave a chunk once its real column reaches surface and floor
• fix(preview): level 0 hides the preview only once it reaches the surface
• fix(preview): hide new real chunks from their level-0 writes
• fix(preview): sections already drawing a chunk no longer hold it
• fix(preview): leave new real chunks one by one
• fix(lod): mesh pushed sections once stored; snowy grass under preview trees
• fix(lod): remesh a section written during its first mesh; rebuild cancel
• fix(lod): new chunks reach the store sooner; the preview gives way
• fix(lod): new chunks before a rebuild; mirrors never rebuild
• feat(server): /farfield rebuild builds the coarse levels again
• fix(render): the looks cache is appended to, not rewritten
• fix(lod, preview): vegetation classed as plants; preview keys persisted
• feat(preview): the preview grows the world's own features
• feat(render): block looks cached across sessions and built by need
• fix(render): the hole detector forgets its holes while the performance logs are off
• feat(render): hole detector; meshing follows what changed
• fix(render): transitions keep something drawn
• feat(stream): the server pushes what it writes
• fix(stream, render): new terrain streams in coarse first, never as a hole
• fix(stream): the surface filter hides level 0 only, under the floor around
• feat(client): debug here, what every part knows where the view meets the LODs
• fix(preview): ground and hollows under the sea take the water's light
• fix(preview): columns reach under their neighbors' lowest block; no hollow on level seams
• feat(render): debug switch to hide LOD water, ice and glass
• fix(preview): columns reach under their diagonal neighbors; no sky through sea floors
• fix(render): preview water lit by depth; the level lock keeps the preview
• fix(render): the level lock is a floor over the whole distance
• feat(render): level lock, a diagnostic to look at one LOD level up close
• fix(render): faces in coarse water lit by its depth
• fix(stream, render): outdated mirror sections fetched again; border faces meshed again
• feat(stream): mirrors translate the server's ids; other protocol versions declined
• feat(stream): preview tiles in a fetch window of their own
• feat(stream): change notices for regions, fetch window sized by the answers' delay
• fix(render): vanilla columns wait until drawn whole, from the camera down (ADR-069)
• fix(render): vanilla columns drawn whole at the hand-off (ADR-069)
• fix(preview, mesh): no full light where generated terrain meets the preview
• fix(lod): sections stored without sky light read it from the lit section above, as the game
• fix(preview, mesh): partly filled sea floor voxels take the water's light; water draws no face against them
• fix(preview, commands): preview sea floors take their neighbors' light; drawing settings under /farfieldclient
• fix(stream): fetch the level-4 sections the preview's masks read; no preview over real terrain
• fix(stream): a mirror's key tables are frozen; covered materials fall back to the ground
• fix(stream): the mirror keeps the server's key ids; no more emptying as chunks generate
• feat(stream): noise preview built by a dedicated server and streamed as tiles
• feat(stream): surface only by default, full_data for operators (ADR-013)
• feat(stream): server streaming of LOD sections to clients with Farfield (ADR-068)
• feat(core): streaming protocol messages, bandwidth budget, raw records and versions
• feat: rounded corners on the logo, transparent outside
