add: r_dither <0|1> (default: 0) reduces color banding artefacts by adding noise
add: r_ditherStrength <0.125 to 8.0> (default: 1.0) controls the amount of noise added by dithering

this helps improve map load time (less to upload) and offers greater quality preservation options
this helps improve map load time (less to upload) and image quality (see r_mipGenGamma, r_mipGenFilter)
add: r_mipGenGamma <1.0 to 3.0> (default: 1.8) specifies the gamma space in which the textures are stored
r_gpuMipGen 1 is required
it should be closer to 2.4 but defaults lower to not break the looks of some things (e.g. cpm3a tele)
while 1.0 will preserve the original engine's look, higher values will preserve contrast better

add: r_mipGenFilter <filter> (default: "L4") specifies which filter window is used to generate mips

for Direct3D 11, the behavior is always equivalent to "automatic"
the new default mode fixes the V-Sync stutter from previous releases

scale is the depth range over wich to fade the currently rendered surface
scale is the depth range over which to fade the currently rendered surface
bias is a value added to the currently rendered surface's depth, positive goes towards the camera
whether this is enabled is decided by r_depthFade (must be 1) and r_backend (can't be GL2)
depth writes must be disabled in all stages (no shader stage can use the depthWrite directive)

=== Known issues ===
====================
iss: OBS captures go blank after doing a video restart with the D3D11 back-end
exp: device/swap chain re-creation isn't handled by OBS' capture plug-in
fix: use the GL3 back-end
act: won't fix
iss: once the GL2 back-end is used, performance drops when switching back to the GL3 back-end
cfg: nVidia GeForce GTX 1070 - Windows 7 SP1 x64 - drivers 430.64 and 445.87
fix: don't switch back-ends at runtime or upgrade drivers
act: can't fix (root cause unknown)
iss: with GL3 and r_gpuMipGen 1, performance collapses big time
cfg: AMD Radeon HD 6950 - Windows 10 Pro version 10.0.16299 - drivers 15.201.1151.1008
exp: confirmed: whenever glTexStorage2D is called (even when using that function is the only change)
fix: use D3D11 or upgrade drivers
act: won't fix
iss: with GL3 and r_gpuMipGen 1, the GPU-generated mips are corrupted
cfg: AMD Radeon R7 360 - Windows 7 SP1 x64 - drivers 14.502.0.0
exp: not confirmed: broken barrier implementation?
fix: use D3D11 or upgrade drivers
act: can't fix (root cause unknown)
iss: with GL3, depth faded surfaces break anti-aliasing
exp: can't fetch from the right sample index because render buffers
are used as FBO attachments instead of textures
fix: use D3D11
act: will get fixed
iss: strong gamma correction breaks anti-aliasing
exp: MSAA resolve happens before the post-process pass
act: will get fixed for D3D11 and GL3
iss: D3D11 full-screen toggles with the 32-bit client freeze myT's PC :-(
cfg: nVidia GeForce GTX 1070 - Windows 7 SP1 x64 - drivers 445.87
fix: use the 64-bit client
act: can't fix (root cause unknown)
