_Rafx WebGL 1.0 support, [click for live demo][rafx-webgl-demo]!_

Rafx is a multi-backend renderer that optionally integrates with the

[distill][rafx-distill] asset pipeline. This month, frustum culling

and a new OpenGL ES 2.0/WebGL 1.0 backend were added.

[@dvd] revived the `rafx-visibility` crate and implemented frustum culling.

Frustum culling greatly reduces draw call counts, improving frame rate

in certain scenes. The changes also improve consistency between various

rendering feature implementations (i.e. meshes, text etc.) and avoids running

the extract-prepare-submit pipeline on entities that are not visible.

[@aclysma] implemented an OpenGL ES 2.0 backend. While ES2 cannot support all

funcionality in `rafx-api`, it provides very broad compatibility. This means

the core functionality of rafx-api can be used with almost any mobile device

or browser ([~98% web coverage][rafx-webgl-caniuse].)
