Runtime navigation mesh baking. The Map represents the entire world, it's similar to the space for the physics engine, but this one is used for the navigation. Now the NavigationRegion can be added during gameplay, and it's possible to change its transform or even bake the navigation mesh data at runtime.

FBX has its own standard for handling animations which has not been fully reverse engineered correctly by any open source importer/exporter, so we had to start from scratch and only keep the FBX file parser from Assimp. Reverse engineering a lot of the functionality required to make FBX work properly was very hard. stable release.
