Please test VulkanSceneGraph, vsgXchange and vsgeExamples in prep for dev releases

[robertosfield]

I have completed a block of work on the DatabaserPager/CompileManager/MemoryBufferPools to improve how VSG applications cope with a paged database consumes all the GPU memory resources at runtime - now the VSG will gracefully handle hitting memory limits and automatically adjust the pager settings to scavenge memory from inactive PagedLOD.

I have merged this work with VSG master and am getting ready to tag a dev release of VulkanSceneGraph, vsgXchange and vsgExamples.

Could folks check out the VulkanSceneGraph, vsgXchange and vsgExamples masters and let me know in this thread whether everything compiles OK, the vsgExamples run OK and your own applications compile and run OK. So far I have done compile and runtime testing under Kubuntu 24.04 and Windows 11, with Geforce 2060 and Geforce 1650 respectively, and appreciate testing on embedded and macOS systems that as well as wider hardware and Linux combos.

Thanks for your help. Please success and failures on this thread so I can get a feel for how the codebase is converging to dev release status.

Fyi, I have built the latest from the VSG and vsg projects on rpi4 (Debian 13), Jetson Nano (tweaked Ubuntu 18.04) and Jetson Orin Nano (Ubuntu 22.04) and these are all building ok. There are some compiler warnings, as you are aware of.

I have built a few apps and they are behaving ok in a few small tests.

So far so good! I will run examples in the next few days.

Here are my test results on macOS 26.4.1 (Tahoe), M4 Max processor with Vulkan SDK 1.4.341.1:

Are there any regressions?

[rainergericke]

No, I can't see regressions caused by VSG.
