 ====== Changelog ======
+===== Foundation Preview 1.7.1.0610 =====
+==== Texture loading ====
+Some ''[[api:texture|TEXTURE]]'' properties have been changed, depending on their use, to a new type: ''[[preview:api:atlas_cell|ATLAS_CELL]]''.
+Therefore, we added a way to explicitly choose the type of an asset to load, when calling ''[[mod-management-functions#registerassetid|registerAssetId]]''. Specifying the type is optional, ''TEXTURE'' will be inferred for texture assets if absent.
+This third parameter is currently only used for image assets.
+<file lua>
+mod:registerAssetId("test_img1.png", "TEST_IMAGE_1") -- without type specified, loads as a TEXTURE asset
+mod:registerAssetId("test_img2.png", "TEST_IMAGE_2", "TEXTURE") -- loads as a TEXTURE asset
+mod:registerAssetId("test_img3.png", "TEST_IMAGE_3", "ATLAS_CELL") -- loads as an ATLAS_CELL asset
+</file>
+**Technical Info:**  Atlas Cells are images packed in a large unique texture (commonly called atlas). This is especially useful for the GUI engine, allowing to draw most of the interface without having to switch the active binded texture.
