* Refactor web examples and tutorials
- Consolidate web/docs and web/samples into web/examples
- Remove literal programming blocks from Markdown tutorials
- Replace tutorial_template.html with a fully embedded template in serve.py
- Move serve.py to web/examples/serve.py and update dependency rules

- Add python venv instructions and usage details to web/README.md
- Remove obsolete examples, Pipfile, and demo templates
* Transfer web tutorials and samples to docs_src
- Introduce copy_web_docs.py api to deploy and rewrite web sample outputs into the docs output tree
- Hook copy_web_docs into docs_src/build/run.py natively
- Configure duplicates.json to map WebGL outputs to embedded .md docs
- Strip html skeleton out of examples in run.py so they map into markdown cleanly
- Update update-docs workflow to pre-build the WebGL target
- Remove obsolete remote docs path from src_raw
- Add explanatory comments to copy_web_docs.py and run.py
- Add index page with thumbnails for Web Tutorials and samples
- refactoring/clecanup to make some changes easier
- VSM mipmap generation was mistakenly disable when blur radius was 0
- analytic variance was disabled because the math only worked for VSM. Fixed the math.
- better handling of large blurs when using fp32
- implement EVSM equivalent of receiver plane normal bias
- use correct EVSM clearing color
- mipmapping with point lights works much better (no seams)
- min variance is computed automatically
- custom high precision mipmaping shader for VSM
Introduce a new cube sample that utilizes the feature level 0 (FL0) on
the web. The `Engine.create` method accepts `config` as an argument,
allowing users to explicitly request a GLES 2.0 context.
In addition, this change helps a future implementation of asynchronous
support for web, allowing the asynchronous mode to be turned on via the
configuration setting.
BUGS=[476134614]
* implement some missing javascript bindings
DOCS_FORCE
* use exclusively javadoc comments in Options.h
This is because this file is currently used to generate java and
javascript bindings and doxygen can ingest javadoc.
And regenerate javascript and java bindings
* add missing java bindings
This commit introduces a significant rework of the Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA) system, focusing on improving reconstruction quality, robustness, and introducing flexible upscaling.
Core TAA Algorithm improvements:
- Replaced the Catmull-Rom filter with a more efficient 5-tap Lanczos filter for history sampling, which includes deringing to reduce artifacts.
- The input color buffer is now properly "unjittered" using a Lanczos reconstruction filter.
- Improved the history rejection algorithm by skipping the expensive accurate clipping when the history sample is already within the neighborhood's color gamut.
- Added a new `hdr` option to properly handle HDR content by tonemapping colors before blending and untonemapping the result.
- Removed the ineffective `VARIANCE` only history rejection method.
- Added protection against negative numbers in `sqrt()` for increased stability.
TAA Upscaling:
- Replaced the boolean `upscaling` flag with a float factor, allowing for variable upscaling ratios (e.g., 1.5x, 2x).
- Upscaling now correctly adjusts viewport and projection settings.
- The TAA shader now receives viewport and resolution information to correctly handle upscaled rendering.
API and Configuration Changes:
- Deprecated the `filterWidth` TAA option as it no longer has an effect.
- Introduced the `upscaling` float property to `TemporalAntiAliasingOptions`.
- Added the `hdr` boolean property to `TemporalAntiAliasingOptions`.
Other Changes:
- Updated UI elements in the viewer and material sandbox to reflect the new TAA options.
- Updated Javascript bindings and TypeScript definitions for the new TAA settings.
- Refactored shader code for clarity and performance.
* add support for AHardwareBuffer to the java bindings
Texture.setEXternalIamge() now can take a AHArdwreBuffer Java object
as a parameter.
* add an API to set the priority of the Skybox
by default the skybox is always drawn last (priority 7) in order to
reduce overdraw. however, when depth culling is not enabled, it
needs to be drawn first. The new Builder::priority() allows to set
an arbitrary priority for the skybox.
* add rendertarget support for external textures
This was in fact mostly already supported, we just were artificially
preventing that usage. It is supported by the EGL_external_image
extension.
It's the responsibility of the caller/user to not attempt to use an
incompatible format, which has undefined behavior.
FIXES=[466395306]
* add a new android sample to test the AHardwareBuffer as render target

* Add new public API to query a sampler transform name field.
This new API will let filament users query a Material object
the value of the `transformName` field of a specified sampler
parameter.
The transformName is an optional field, so if its not defined
by the user, it will return a nullptr value.
- A new test was added to test_filamat to validate the serialization.
- A new parameter was added to the test sandboxLit material to
validate the parsing a material with the new field.
* Addressing review comments
- Add java and js bindings for the new API
- Tests for querying the getParameterTransformName
* Use utils::ImmutableCString for transformName
* Updating release notes
* Review comments
* Addressing more review comments
- Fix comments
- For the java binding return an empty string when the
transform is not present.
* Add a Renderer API to force skipping frames
Renderer::skipNextFrames(size_t) can be used to force filament to
pretend the next N frames must be skipped. This is mostly useful for
debugging.
* Add DebugOptions to Settings
We still need to move the "Debug" features of gltf_viewer to this,
but this give us a framework to do it.
Currently there is one debug option that allows to set a number of
frames to skip.
ViewerGui propose a button to skip 10 frames using this framework

A few bugs in that area were introduced by #8391. Upscaling is
supposed to perform the final blending if needed, but it didn't.
Transparency/blending is only supported by the bilinear upscaler, which
is automatically selected in that case.
The upscaling pass itself may include a final `RCAS` pass for
sharpening, in that case, blending must be performed then. So we added
the logic for that.
Fixes#9061
The new `linearFog` material property, when set to `true` enables a
simplified fog calculation. The fog equation becomes linear which is
unrealistic, but more efficient to compute. In some situations with
a shallow fog range, it doesn't make a huge difference visually.
In this mode, height falloff and in-scattering are ignored.
The linear equation slope is calculated from the regular parameters to
match the slope of the real equation at a camera height. If
`heightFalloff` is disabled, set to 0, the `density` parameter
exactly corresponds to the slope of the equation in [1/m] units.
