And that's just as well, since a lot of work continues to be done every day to fix issues in the master branch and improve usability, and Juan even took the time to sneak in a couple past-deadline but very requested features, like a lightmapper for static light baking (to provide an alternative to the real-time but resource-heavy GIProbe).

Added to that fact, Vulkan still has years to go until it's properly supported in most desktop and mobile platforms, which makes it unattractive to implement for us (as it means considerably more effort to write, debug and maintain). This allows beautiful mixing between baked and real-time. Perform Subsurface Scattering.
