This release introduces significant rendering improvements and engine optimizations:

• Procedural galaxy generation system.
• Infrastructure for volume rendering.
• Major rendering overhaul: New PBR pipeline with Cook-Torrance BRDF, true 3D volume rendering, and improved atmospheric scattering.
• Virtual Reality: Enhanced OpenXR performance, new VR demo mode, and desktop mirroring optimizations.
• Anaglyph and Stereo: Added new Dubois-style modes and adaptive stereo separation controls.
• UI/UX: New dynamic accent color system, improved visibility panels, and updated translations for multiple languages.
• Engine: Performance gains via instanced rendering for orbits and a more robust multi-mirror data download system.

Bug fixes:

• Resolved several VR-related crashes on Linux and improved shutdown sequences.
• Fixed atmospheric diffraction effects and cloud projection during eclipses.
• Corrected FOV scaling calculations to improve label and visibility accuracy across zoom levels.
• Fixed various procedural generation glitches and UI layout inconsistencies.
