Textures module has grown to support most of the internal texture formats available in OpenGL (RGB565, RGB888, RGBA5551, RGBA4444, etc.), including compressed texture formats (DXT, ETC1, ETC2, ASTC, PVRT); raylib 1.3 can load .dds, .pkm, .ktx, .astc and .pvr files.

On February 2016, after 4 months of raylib 1.3 release, it comes raylib 1.4. For this new version,
lots of parts of the library have been reviewed, lots of bugs have been solved and some interesting features have been added.
First big addition is a set of [Image manipulation functions](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/develop/src/raylib.h#L673) have been added to crop, resize, colorize, flip, dither and even draw image-to-image or text-to-image.

Now a basic image processing can be done before converting the image to texture for usage.
SpriteFonts system has been improved, adding support for AngelCode fonts (.fnt) and TrueType Fonts (using [stb_truetype](https://github.com/nothings/stb/blob/master/stb_truetype.h) helper library).
Now raylib can read standard .fnt font data and also generate at loading a SpriteFont from a TTF file.

On July 2016, after 5 months of raylib 1.4 release, arrives raylib 1.5. This new version is the biggest boost of the library until now, lots of parts of the library have been redesigned, lots of bugs have been solved and some **AMAZING** new features have been added.
VR support: raylib supports **Oculus Rift CV1**, one of the most anticipated VR devices in the market. Additionally, raylib supports simulated VR stereo rendering, independent of the VR device; it means, raylib can generate stereo renders with custom head-mounted-display device parameteres, that way, any VR device in the market can be **simulated in any platform** just configuring device parameters (and consequently, lens distortion). To enable VR is [extremely easy](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/develop/examples/core_oculus_rift.c).

Audio chiptunese support and mixing channels: Added support for module audio music (.xm, .mod) loading and playing. Multiple mixing channels are now also supported. All this features thanks to the amazing work of @kd7tck.
Other additions include a [2D camera system](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/develop/examples/core_2d_camera.c), render textures for offline render (and most comprehensive [postprocessing](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/develop/examples/shaders_postprocessing.c)) or support for legacy OpenGL 2.1 on desktop platforms.
