Full Release Notes

1.92 - 2022-04-01

Highlights include:

- Added experimental support for the [3D Tiles 1.1 draft](https://github.com/CesiumGS/3d-tiles/pull/666). [#10189](https://github.com/CesiumGS/cesium/pull/10189)
- Added support for `EXT_structural_metadata` property attributes in `CustomShader` [#10228](https://github.com/CesiumGS/cesium/pull/10228)
- Added partial support for `EXT_structural_metadata` property textures in `CustomShader` [#10247](https://github.com/CesiumGS/cesium/pull/10247)
- Added `minimumPixelSize`, `scale`, and `maximumScale` to `ModelExperimental`. [#10092](https://github.com/CesiumGS/cesium/pull/10092)
- `Cesium3DTileset` now has a `splitDirection` property, allowing the tileset to only be drawn on the left or right side of the screen. This is useful for visual comparison of tilesets. [#10193](https://github.com/CesiumGS/cesium/pull/10193)
- Removed `Cesium.when`. Any `Promise` in the Cesium API has changed to the native `Promise` API. Code bases using cesium will likely need updates after this change. See the [upgrade guide](https://community.cesium.com/t/cesiumjs-is-switching-from-when-js-to-native-promises-which-will-be-a-breaking-change-in-1-92/17213) for instructions on how to update your code base to be compliant with native promises.
