+Changes
+-------
+* Material API simplified (NvBlastProgramParams)
+* Nv::Blast::ExtPhysics renamed Nv::Blast::ExtPx
+* Various small changes to the low-level API (function renaming, argument list changes, etc.)
+* Extensions libraries reconfigured according to major dependencies and functionality:
+** Authoring
+** Import (depends on PhysX and APEX)
+** PhysX (depends on PhysX)
+** Serialization (depends on PhysX and Cap'n Proto)
+** Shaders
