Anyone had idea with the renderer? What it can do, etc

[Amoodee10]

Im interested in this renderer. I mean, we never got any new renderer for a long time :P. I have TONS of questions, so.. Dear developers:

1. How well does it perform?
2. What kind of "basic shader" you say? Like the legendary HolyGL4ES shaders and Chocapic13's series? (Those shaders are pretty old)
3. "OpenGL 4.x, 1.17+ (OpenGL ES 3.2 only)" what does it means :P
4. What are you guys planning on the future?
5. Does it have some incompatibilities with optimization mods? (Like lithium, distant horizon etc)

Any answers will be VERY APPRECIATED <3.
I guess this post can be the default Q@A post

Im sorry for asking dum dum questions. Im no one to teach you guys (it means my knowledge is still shallow)

1. It performs up there with LTW but not that much. (might be wrong now, haven't done any perf testing recently)
2. Basic shaders like MakeUp UltraFast, Mellow, and etc. not those raytracing shader or path-traced. (but not every shader, yet. And I know Chocapic V9 doesn't work)
3. The renderer advertises OpenGL 4.0 and can only be used on 1.17+ (there's been work to support <1.17 but it's barely functional). OpenGL ES 3.2 is required to have a good experience. (I forced ES 3.2 as a requirement)
4. Support <1.17 and then implement the OpenGL 4.6 spec (this might take a long time or I might just implement as many things as possible from the spec)
5. As far as I know, no. Sodium works fine, same with Embeddium. I don't know about Distant Horizons though.
