What's new features for Irrlicht 1.6

Deferred Shading shouldn't part of Irrlicht core, because it's very dependent on Your game architecture - G-Buffer. You can write Your own Deferred Shading in current Irrlicht version (if You need MRTs support it's avaiable as patch for SVN)

Yeah it's already very easy to do deferred rendering without modifying the Irrlicht source.

Irrlicht don't like external libraries, I know it, but I think that via this library we can quickly and easy solve our problems with texture interface, what is very important. I know that one dll (Irrlicht.dll) is better than many dll's (Irrlicht.dll a.dll b.dll etc) for app, but this isn't important feature of Irrlicht. I think that, 4-5 new dll's isn't big problem for Irrlicht users, but this new libraries can be very helpfull for Irrlicht developers, because implementation of existing and good library is faster than write Your own with similar features.
