Cesium Version 1.11 Released

We are pleased to announce the release of Cesium 1.11.

This is a significant release with camera, terrain, and imagery improvements, and bug fixes.

Highlights include:

Camera
Improved camera flights. Take them for a spin in Sandcastle.
The camera now zooms to the point under the mouse cursor, instead of the center of the canvas.
Terrain and Imagery
Improved terrain and imagery performance and reduced tile loading by up to 50%, depending on the camera view. See Terrain Culling with Oriented Bounding Boxes for the under-the-hood details.
Added UrlTemplateImageryProvider, which allows access to a wide variety of imagery sources, including OpenStreetMap, TMS, WMTS, WMS, WMS-C, and various custom schemes, by specifying a URL template to use to request imagery tiles. Thanks to Abdou Farouk and Kevin Ring for this contribution.

Here’s a few examples of using UrlTemplateImageryProvider:

// Access the CartoDB Positron basemap, which uses an OpenStreetMap-like tiling scheme.
var positron = new Cesium.UrlTemplateImageryProvider({
    url : 'http://{s}.basemaps.cartocdn.com/light_all/{z}/{x}/{y}.png',
    credit : 'Map tiles by CartoDB, under CC BY 3.0. Data by OpenStreetMap, under ODbL.'
});
// Access a Web Map Service (WMS) server.
var wms = new Cesium.UrlTemplateImageryProvider({
   url : 'https://programs.communications.gov.au/geoserver/ows?tiled=true&' +
         'transparent=true&format=image%2Fpng&exceptions=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_xml&' +
         'styles=&service=WMS&version=1.1.1&request=GetMap&' +
         'layers=public%3AMyBroadband_Availability&srs=EPSG%3A3857&' +
         'bbox={westProjected}%2C{southProjected}%2C{eastProjected}%2C{northProjected}&' +
         'width=256&height=256',
