Full Release Notes

1.62 - 2019-10-01

Highlights include:

* Added ability to create partial ellipsoids using both the Entity API and CZML. New ellipsoid geometry properties: `innerRadii`, `minimumClock`, `maximumClock`, `minimumCone`, and `maximumCone`. This affects both `EllipsoidGeometry` and `EllipsoidOutlineGeometry`. See the updated [Sandcastle example](https://cesiumjs.org/Cesium/Apps/Sandcastle/?src=Partial%20Ellipsoids.html&label=Geometries). [#5995](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/pull/5995)
* Added `useBrowserRecommendedResolution` flag to `Viewer` and `CesiumWidget`. When true, Cesium renders at CSS pixel resolution instead of native device resolution. This replaces the workaround in the 1.61 change list. [8215](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/issues/8215)
* A massive amount of bug fixes from the recent CesiumJS code sprint.
