v6.26.0

Requires three ≥ 0.107.0 < 0.139.0

Postprocessing has recently joined the Poimandres organization 🎉 The motivation behind this is to get more eyes on postprocessing and to ensure that the library continues to evolve as part of something bigger. Apart from that, nothing really changes though! — vanruesc

v6.25.0

Requires three ≥ 0.107.0 < 0.139.0

Attention: Inheritance of legacy classes such as DataTexture3D is broken in three r138 (mrdoob/three.js#23612) and will be fixed in r139 (mrdoob/three.js#23621). It's recommended to skip r138 if you use LUTEffect.

v6.24.0

Requires three ≥ 0.102.0 < 0.138.0

Changelog

Attention: The changes made in this release are currently being revised. It's recommended to not switch to the newly added methods just yet as there's a chance that they will partly be replaced with accessor properties. See #349.

This release adds accessor methods to consolidate the configuration API. It should no longer be necessary to access undocumented uniforms of materials or effects directly. The demo has not yet been updated to use the new methods because it will be replaced by the manual.
