    The 5.4 Beta Roadmap contains this entry:

    Graphics: Basic GPU Instancing Support
    Supported platforms:
    • Windows: DX11 / DX12 with SM 4.0 and up.
    • OS X and mobile platforms support might come in 5.4.
    • Console platforms support will come later.
    ​
    I would like to know if mobile platform, especially iOS Metal, made it into 5.4. If it's targeted for a later version, could you tell which version? I couldn't find any mentioning in the 5.5 Alpha roadmap.

    Guys,

    we are working hard for a while on adding compute and instancing support for Metal rendering on iOS and OS X, but unfortunately it did not make to 5.4. Stay tuned.
