-greatly improved AO shader quality
-greatly improved Motion Blur shader quality
-Motion Blur now correctly handles glow
-added new material technique MTECH_ALPHA_TEST_DITHER allowing to draw semi transparent materials using alpha-test with dithering (works best with TAA) thanks to this you can get smooth transparency effect and still get correct depth sorting and being able to use all lights
-improved performance and reduced memory allocations of loading images/textures from compressed PAKs
-improved shadow jittering pattern
-improved dithering
-improved TAA performance, smoothness and reduced flickering
-slightly improved DoF shader performance
-added new 'SoundResample' function
-added new 'D.motionJitter' function (enabled by default)
-minor optimizations to shaders
-added support for compute shaders
-added new RS_ALPHA
-improved sampler management performance
-added new FILTER_EASU (AMD Fidelity FX Super Res)
-added new 'D.sharpen' and 'D.sharpenIntensity' (AMD Fidelity FX Super Res)
-reduced render target memory usage on OpenGL
-improved performance of gamma conversions on OpenGL
-improved performance of eye adaptation

-fixed 'D.dofFocusMode(true)' not working well when 'D.litColRTPrecision' high precision used
-fixed ComboBox using partial name texts for its list elements if they contain / or \ in the name
-fixed motion blur effect when moving objects in World Editor
-fixed not displaying correctly on Mac HiDPI resolutions

Name Changes:
MTECH_DEFAULT -> MTECH_OPAQUE
