- Fixed: Crash when minimising window on Windows caused by OpenGL continuing to render. Fix is to suspend the application when it loses focus (SFML has no minimise event).
- Added: Parsing and ToString methods for Integer2, Integer3 and Integer4
- Fixed: Some OpenGL analyser warnings caused by setting attributes when they don't exist in shaders
- Fixed: Issues compiling under case-sensitive file system (i.e. Linux) caused by incorrectly cased includes.
- Fixed: Typo in Label.csuidef which meant the default name "Label" was being ignored.

- Added: SHA-256 hashing support
- Changed: ContentManagementSystem now uses SHA-256 unless compiler flag CS_USE_SHA1_CHECKSUMS is enabled for legacy applications.
- Changed: Performance improvement on sprites and UI by using mapbuffer or orphaning buffers rather than a blocking subbuffer call.
- Changed: GLMesh (static meshes) now use vertex array objects where the extension exists. On Android this requires linking against -lEgl
- Fixed: Issue with suspending on Android in debug mode sometimes causing an assert
- HotFix: With shadows turned on the bound texture list in the renderer was expanding each frame and causing memory leaks and performance slowdown
- Added: Thread safe ObjectPoolAllocator that pre allocates objects of a specific type. Now using this within the renderer to reduce allocations.
- Fix: Longstanding issue where "Shinniness" was reciprocated (i.e. 1/Shinniness) in Blinn shaders rather than just Shinniness. Note this will affect existing projects.
- Fix: Crash in Collada to CSModel tool if the Collada file has no materials.
- Fix: Issue with Sphere::Transform not considering orientation. This meant that mesh frustum culling was broken

- Added: Support for masking in UI using the stencil buffer (this replaces scissor regions).

The downloaded expansion file is no longer unpacked meaning the app will be much smaller on disc, and a number of possible complications are avoided. A default downloader screen is provided by the engine.
- Improved: The android file system implementation has been significantly overhauled. Google Play flavoured builds now refer to the main APK expansion file rather than the APK when the Package, ChilliSource or DLC storage locations are requested. Amazon builds still use the APK.
