-Temporal Anti-Aliasing feature added

TAA, or Temporal Anti-Aliasing, which sets itself apart from other anti-aliasing techniques, that aim to smooth images to reduce jagged edges or flickering through higher resolution rendering. Instead, TAA harnesses the timeline, particularly previous frames, to calculate color values as if from a higher resolution, providing a smoother result.

E-ver-present shadows from distant large objects like factory halls, skyscrapers, and road overpasses, with the option to toggle them off in the Options menu.

-Optimized light computation

-Dynamic lights are evaluated in a single pass, known as clustered lighting, improving performance in night scenes.
