meshoptimizer 1.1 is out!
Featuring two new major features, meshlet topology compression and opacity micromaps, as well as a few smaller features and improvements! Meshlet codec is heavily optimized for CPU decompression and output can be compressed further with Zstandard; opacity micromap rasterizer outputs hardware ready data representation and is fast and easy to integrate.
Boosts and repository stars are welcome!

Yesterday was Day 1 of the 3 Day Formula Racing @SkipBarberRS in @VIRNow!
As a lifelong sim-racer with only moderate karting experience, this is something I've been wanting to do for years. Thanks to prizes won using @iRacing, that became possible this week!
Roll on Day 2!
