 ## Updates
 
 - Tons of functions and classes received the code comments they deserved (All the community)
+- New `Texture.UseSerializedUrlIfAny` static property to let textures serialize complete URL instead of using side by side loading ([deltakosh](https://github.com/deltakosh))
 - Added `particleSystem.reset()` to clear a particle system ([deltakosh](https://github.com/deltakosh))
 - Added support for all RGBA orders (BGR, RGB, etc..) for the DDS loader ([deltakosh](https://github.com/deltakosh))
 - Improved [SceneOptimizer](http://doc.babylonjs.com/how_to/how_to_use_sceneoptimizer) to provide better adaptability ([deltakosh](https://github.com/deltakosh))
