What's Changed 🎊

Thanks to all the contributors! - Qianqian

WebGL

1.7.0 adds WebGL2 support, provides tools for smoother camera movement and more natural orbitControl() thanks to a number of improvements by @inaridarkfox4231. It also introduces createFramebuffer() for fast layering and feedback, as well as the ability to read 3d depth information. - Thanks @davepagurek for the summarization
