• Property scope Pointer.actorsUnderPointer changed to private;
• Sprite.sx replaced with Sprite.x
• Sprite.sy replaced with Sprite.y
• Sprite.swidth replaced with Sprite.width
• Sprite.sheight replaced with Sprite.height

Added

• Allow timers to limit repeats to a finite number of times (#957)
• Convenience method on Scene to determine whether it is the current scene. Scene.isCurrentScene() (#982)
• New PointerEvent.stopPropagation() method added. Works the same way as (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Event/stopPropagation)
  (#912)
• New Actor.getAncestors() method, which retreives full array of current Actor ancestors
• Static Actor.defaults prop, which implements IActorDefaults.
• Native sound events now exposed
  • volumechange - on playing sound volume change;
  • pause - on playback pause;
  • stop - on playback stop;
  • emptied - on data cleanup(f.e. when setting new data);
  • resume - on playback resume;
  • playbackstart - on playback start;
  • playbackend - on playback end;
• Added Sound.instances getter, which returns active tracks. Playing or paused;
• Added Sound.getTrackId(track: [[AudioInstance]]) method. Which returns id of track provided,

Changed

• Refactored Easing functions to be reversable (#944)
• Now at creation every Actor.anchor prop is set to default Actor.defaults.anchor.
• Scene.remove(Actor) now starts the Actor.Kill event cycle.(#981)

• Fix camera move chaining (#944)
• Fix pickSet(allowDuplicates: true) now returns the proper length array with correct elements (#977)
• Index export order to prevent almond.js from creation of corrupted modules loading order.
• Sound.pause() now saves correct timings.
• Fix ex.Vector.isValid edgecase at Infinity (#1006)
