Laminar v1.2.4 - Official Release Changelog

This release introduces critical low-level optimizations to both the client-side audio loop and server-side entity tracking.

Core Architectural Enhancements:

• Event-Driven Target Tracking: Shifted entity targeting logic from polling to an event-driven registration system. This completely bypasses expensive active world-entity searches on every tick, reducing idle and operational server CPU overhead.
• Zero-Allocation Audio Memory Management: Rewrote the inactive audio channel cleanup loop using inline in-place iterators, completely eliminating temporary list allocations on the render thread to reduce Garbage Collection frequency.
• Stall-Free GPU Command Queues: Streamlined the GPU command stream by removing intermediate CPU-GPU synchronization blocks. Commands are now enqueued continuously, allowing concurrent execution without stalling the main processor thread.
• Cache-Friendly Voxel Mapping: Restructured 3D coordinate mapping and introduced local chunk caching. This reduces horizontal array lookups in Java, maintaining high hardware cache coherency.
