Work History

May 2026

1 Commits

May 1, 2026

In May 2026, delivered a targeted stabilization for Bevy's GPU-driven rendering pipeline by fixing the VisibilityRange buffering issue. Implemented a persistent, per-range index mapping to prevent stale buffer indices, ensuring consistent LOD and visibility culling across frames without API changes. Validated in a streaming chunked-terrain scenario, reducing rendering glitches during dynamic loading/unloading.

Month: 2025-09. Highlights: Delivered a critical fix to ensure correct color rendering on Waveshare LCDs for ESP32-S3-TOUCH-LCD devices by forcing color_order to RGB on affected models (4.3 and 7-800X480). This addressed a long-standing display configuration issue and was implemented via two commits under issue #10835. Major bug fixed: incorrect color output due to misconfigured color_order, now consistently RGB across the supported Waveshare displays.
