[1.5.0] Multisampling, dynamic render order control, Python API improvements

• File version number has changed. Files saved with RaCo 1.5.0 cannot be opened by previous versions.
• Export now supports ramses-logic feature levels up to 3. Scenes exported with feature level 3 can't be opened with ramses-logic before v1.2.0.

Added

• Available at feature level 3: Dynamic control of render order by making the individual renderableTags properties for each tag linkable.
• Added Copy/Paste functionality to all properties, accessible through their right-click context menu.
• Python API changes
  • Added get/setTags, get/setMaterialFilterTags, and get/setRenderableTags functions to access the tags, materialFilterTags, and renderableTags properties en bloc.
  • The renderableTags property in RenderLayer objects is now visible from Python to allow linking it.
  • Added addExternalProject(path) to add a project as external reference.
  • Added addExternalReferences(path, type) to import all objects of a certain type as external references. Type can be either a single string or a list of strings to import multiple types at once. Returns the imported objects.
• Multisampling support
  • Added MSAA option to Ramses preview window.
  • Added RenderBufferMS usertype that handles Ramses TextureSampler2DMS objects.
  • Added Material support for shader uniform type sampler2DMS.
  • Added new example shaders multisampler.(frag/vert).
• Added BlitPass usertype.
• Added support for array uniforms in shaders. Only simple types but not struct are supported as array elements.

Changes

• Update ramses-logic from 1.1.0 to 1.3.0.
• Update ramses from 27.0.121 to 27.0.126.
• Items in the Resource View are now grouped by their type.
• If exporting in headless fails, the errors causing that failure are now always logged into the console output.
• Upgrade Feature Level menu moved down below Save As...
• TracePlayer now throws an error together with the trace line number, timestamp and the step at which error occurs.
• "Save As with new ID" added.

Fixes

• Removed double scrollbar in Project Settings.
• Fixed wrong Feature Level number in RCA file after upgrade.
• Fixed misleading error message sometimes appearing for empty texture uniforms.
