> **Disclaimer!** this version introduces major API refactoring and will produce compilation errors before migration!

This update changes the entire architecture of this framework by separating reponsibilities into submodules:

- **braingdx-core** the core dependency now contains only generic core logic and boilerplate
- **braingdx-2d** the 2D dependency provides features such as 2D lighting and 2D physics support as well as tiledmap support

Later on, a new **braingdx-3d** module will be added which provides a different kind of feature set such as Blender support.
