• Audio : audio core update (2.2.0)
• Audio : me.audio.stop() will now stop all sounds if none is specified
• Color : new lerp() method to provide linear interpolation between two different colors
• Color : allow specifying minimum and maximum value range when generating random colors
• Core : new me.event.VIDEO_INIT system event that will be triggered once the display canvas is initialized
• Core : a default stage is now instantiated at boot time, allowing to more easily write basic examples to test features
• Input : improved input detection when the canvas is embedded into a complex css layout and the page is being scrolled up/down
• Input : Changed the device accelerometer and orientation detection to comply with the latest API changes where a user permission is now required
• Input : fix an issue with uncorrect horizontal delta value for wheel event
• Input : all registered events for a specific renderable are now automatically released upon the object destruction
• Physic : me.game.world is now a specific container (based on me.Container) that will hold and manage all related physic updates
• Physic : gravity for physic bodies is now defined globally under me.game.world.gravity, and can be scaled individually using me.Body.gravityScale
• Physic : added a rotate method to me.Body to allow rotating all the body shapes properly (by default around the body bounding box center)
• Physic : melonJS will now automatically enable body physic when when a me.Body object is added to any renderable
• Renderable : add support for free-texture-packer (http://free-tex-packer.com), the free Texture Packer alternative (thanks @playerkillers)
• Renderable : optimized and tidied up me.Text and me.BitmapText implementation
• Renderable : new isFlippedX & isFlippedY getter to check the current renderable "flip" state
• Renderable : fix implementation and usage of the isDirty flag across Renderables
• Renderable : fix a regression with transformation when a renderable is directly added to a me.Container object
• Renderable : apply a tint color to BitmapText if a fillStyle is specified in the constructor
• Renderer : new optional parameter for createCanvas() to request an OffScreenCanvas if supported by the browser
• Renderer : use OffscreenCanvas by default for all secondary canvas (e.g. debugPanel, double buffering, font texture in WebGL)
• Renderer : properly fallback to the Canvas Renderer including when the WebGL renderer is not able to compile the built-in shaders
• Renderer : dynamically activate WebGL texture sampler instead of pre-indexing them (accordingly to GLSL 1.30 specifications and later)
• Renderer : added support for WebGL2 (disabled by default, use preferWebGL1 = false to enable it when calling me.video.init)
• Renderer : enable use of NPOT textures when in WebGL2 mode for texture mapping and pattern drawing
• Renderer : allow specifying the default powerPreference value for the WebGL Renderer (on Safari and Chrome 80+ default is now low-power)
• Renderer : display GPU information in the console when available (WebGL)
• Renderer : implemented sprite tint support for the Canvas Renderer
• Shapes : vectors and shapes can now be rotated around a given (optional) point instead of the default origin point
• Shapes : added a center vector property for me.Rect, giving the center point of the rectangle
• TMX : fix parsing of tileset image when the "last" tile spacing was truncated
• TMX : fix staggered map rendering, where computed tiles coordinates were non integer values (thanks @siauderman)
• TMX : fix parsing of animated tile with the latest version of Tiled (thanks @alcor)
• TMX : fix anti-diagonal tile flipping (thanks @alcor)
• TMX : fix world bounds not being updated if a level is added manually using addTo (thanks @siauderman)
• Video : fix an issue when using the "flex" scaling mode, and where the reported parent container size could be floating values
• Video : the scale parameter is now optional if scaleMethod is specified (auto-scaling will then automatically be enabled)
