> ⚠️⚠️⚠️ NOTICE ⚠️⚠️⚠️
>
> This branch still at an early develop phase, and the main goals is:
> - OpenGL3/GLES3 support
> - The GLES2 support was dropped
> - Mesh instancing draw support
> - Use glslcc as shader workflow, write shader by ESSL310, build to target platforms: MSL for Apple(macOS/iOS/tvOS), ESSL300 for Android, ANGLE, GLSL330 for Desktop GL
> - Improve ProgramManager for loading custom shader program more easy
> - Improve text rendering, SDF outline support
> - Improve FileStream, handle large 4GB+ files
> - Many other improvements: refer to [#1279](https://github.com/axmolengine/axmol/issues/1279)

## Renderer Backends
- OpenGL 3.3+ for Linux, macOS and Win32
- OpenGL ES 3.0+ for Android and iOS
- Metal for macOS and iOS
- ANGLE ES 3.0+ for Win32 and UWP
## New MediaPlayer
The new `ui::MediaPlayer`(renamed from `ui::VideoPlayer`) render video as Texture2D with designed corss-platform MediaEngine, the MediaEngine inspired from microsoft
media foundation `IMFMediaEngine`, the `MediaPlayer` support all platforms which axmol engine does.
