v2.14.0

Breaking Changes

• [BREAKING] Use linear space for vertex colors in gLTF by @LeXXik in #8122

  Note: Projects that use vertex colors—especially those imported from FBX—may see visual changes because vertex colors are now treated as linear by default (for glTF compatibility). If your assets use gamma-encoded vertex colors, set material.vertexColorGamma = true to restore the previous appearance. This affects StandardMaterials only, ShaderMaterials are not affected.
