Release 0.8.3

Important bugfixes and workflow improvements, especially for Microsoft Hololens developers.

SSL support in the Wonderland Editor’s web server allows building WebXR pages by pointing a domain to a local IP address. This enables Wonderland Engine’s full rapid development flow including auto reloading and profiling on Microsoft Hololens.

For SharedArrayBuffer support, Wonderland Engine’s web server now cross-origin isolates web pages. This allows local development with a WebAssembly Threads enabled runtime even after deprecation in Chrome Desktop for non-cross origin isolated pages (ends with version 91 / May 2021), and also on Android Chrome 88+ and Firefox 79+.
