Consolidated monthly delivery for 2025-10 focused on improving selection tooling in Babylon.js via GPUPicker enhancements. Delivered rectangle-based box selection with runtime updatable pick lists and substantial performance optimizations by encoding IDs as floats instead of vec4, reducing GPU bandwidth and shader complexity. Enabled dynamic updates to the picking list without a rebuild, enhancing editor workflows and real-time scene interaction. This work underpins faster editor experiences for large scenes and supports multiple fill modes, improving UX in tools that rely on GPU-based picking.

May 2025 monthly summary for Babylon.js. Delivered a stability fix in the BVH loader to prevent duplicate skeleton additions when loading asset containers, aligning its behavior with the glTF loader and ensuring skeletons are added only once during loadAssetContainerAsync. Result: more reliable asset loading for complex scenes, reduced memory overhead, and fewer runtime anomalies.

March 2025 – Babylon.js (BabylonJS/Babylon.js) delivered a stability-focused memory leak fix in Havok Physics Shape tracking. The fix removes disposed shapes from the internal _shapes map before releasing the underlying Havok shape resource, preventing unbounded memory growth in physics-heavy scenes and reducing garbage collection pressure across long-running simulations.
