[Ketschak]

The new Murl Engine Build 1.00.3970Beta is available.

API Changes:

• Renamed "*pass*" methods to "*stage*" in Graph::IMaterial etc.
  
• Split Graph::IController to multiple different interfaces
  

New Features:

• Added new pixel formats IEnums::PIXEL_FORMAT_B8_G8_R8_A8, IEnums::PIXEL_FORMAT_A8_B8_G8_R8 and IEnums::PIXEL_FORMAT_A8_R8_G8_B8 on supported platforms, queryable via respective IEnums::Feature values.
  
• Added new pixel formats for 16bit and 32bit floating-point textures.
  
• Added multi-planar pixel formats, for YUV encoded streams
  
• Added Util::SampleConverter class.
  
• Added Util::PixelConverter::ColorToPixel() method.
