 - Added fmin, fmax and fclamp to GTX_extended_min_max #372
 - Added EXT_vector_relational: extend equal and notEqual to take an epsilon argument
 - Added EXT_vec1: *vec1 types
+- Added GTX_texture: levels function
 
 #### Improvements:
 - No more default initialization of vector, matrix and quaternion types
