Here's the full changelog

We have a bug in sorter, it's all connected to instance fetching[that's idea #1, validate it by having only subset 0!]
yes bug only appears when we instantiate multiple subset based entitys!
Add timing for sorting
few sort/subsets bugfix
For profiler out FPS,FPSLoad in graphics in Scene[very old idea]
profiling crash fixed
Output present time somewhere, or measure it engineE3D to have it in stats
added stats.marked_frame concept to correctly add new fps value
we can actually add every frame for more detailed profiling, but there is no need for now - added as bool var

fixed problem of stuttering for FRI
Microsoft C++ exception: Concurrency::invalid_operation at memory location 0x00A9C364.

12:22 PM 5/26/2016
trees dynamic deletion similar to megapolis out of extended box clear

idea about using local random and just offset it for better distribution
9:49 AM 5/25/2016
lock check
write lock check as well
db get check block!
add additional scale_factor that we can use to change the enemy sizes
many setevent on player death - fixed
for each monster, create a file with texture replacemnt so random monster would have many textures)

added to SubED ex params
stamina potion usage
stamina from keyboard+icon+cooldown
5:58 PM 5/21/2016
Some better fog ideas for skybox, generally you can't see through fog, so fog should be located on skybox as well, we can call it Y area of fog, for starters it can be static, and later it can be dynamic based on our height, add that option to our skyobx class, generally everything on Y that is below some value will be color of the fog!
make kinzar ring a little bit lower
nice!
