* When defining the `renderTargets` in a WebGL Pipeline config, you can now set optional `width` and `height` properties, which will create a Render Target of that exact size, ignoring the `scale` value (if also given).
*`WebGLPipeline.isSpriteFX` is a new boolean property that defines if the pipeline is a Sprite FX Pipeline, or not. The default is `false`.
*`GameObjects.Components.FX` is a new component that provides access to FX specific properties and methods. The Image and Sprite Game Objects have this component by default.
*`fxPadding` and its related method `setFXPadding` allow you to set extra padding to be added to the texture the Game Object renders with. This is especially useful for Sprite FX shaders that modify the sprite beyond its bounds, such as glow or shadow effects.
* The `WebGLPipeline.setShader` method has a new optional parameter `buffer` that allows you to set the vertex buffer to be bound before the shader is activated.
* The `WebGLPipeline.setVertexBuffer` method has a new optional parameter `buffer` that allows you to set the vertex buffer to be bound if you don't want to bind the default one.
* The `WebGLRenderer.createTextureFromSource` method has a new optional boolean parameter `forceClamp` that will for the clamp wrapping mode even if the texture is a power-of-two.
*`RenderTarget` will now automatically set the wrapping mode to clamp.
*`WebGLPipeline.flipProjectionMatrix` is a new method that allows you to flip the y and bottom projection matrix values via a parameter.
*`PipelineManager.renderTargets` is a new property that holds an array of `RenderTarget` objects that all `SpriteFX` pipelines can share, to keep texture memory as low as possible.
*`PipelineManager.maxDimension` is a new property that holds the largest possible target dimension.
*`PipelineManager.frameInc` is a new property that holds the amount the `RenderTarget`s will increase in size in each iteration. The default value is 32, meaning it will create targets of size 32, 64, 96, etc. You can control this via the pipeline config object.
*`PipelineManager.targetIndex` is a new property that holds the internal target array offset index. Treat it as read-only.
* The Pipeline Manager will now create a bunch of `RenderTarget` objects during its `boot` method. These are sized incrementally from 32px and up (use the `frameInc` value to alter this). These targets are shared by all Sprite FX Pipelines.
*`PipelineManager.getRenderTarget` is a new method that will return the a `RenderTarget` that best fits the dimensions given. This is typically called by Sprite FX Pipelines, rather than directly.
*`PipelineManager.getSwapRenderTarget` is a new method that will return a 'swap' `RenderTarget` that matches the size of the main target. This is called by Sprite FX pipelines and not typically called directly.
*`PipelineManager.getAltSwapRenderTarget` is a new method that will return a 'alternative swap' `RenderTarget` that matches the size of the main target. This is called by Sprite FX pipelines and not typically called directly.
### New Features - Compressed Texture Support
Phaser 3.60 contains support for Compressed Textures. It can parse both KTX and PVR containers and within those has support for the following formats: ETC, ETC1, ATC, ASTC, BPTC, RGTC, PVRTC, S3TC and S3TCSRB. Compressed Textures differ from normal textures in that their structure is optimized for fast GPU data reads and lower memory consumption. Popular tools that can create compressed textures include PVRTexTool, ASTC Encoder and Texture Packer.
Compressed Textures are loaded using the new `this.load.texture` method, which takes a texture configuration object that maps the formats to the files. The browser will then download the first file in the object that it knows it can support. You can also provide Texture Atlas JSON data, or Multi Atlas JSON data, too, so you can use compressed texture atlases. Currently, Texture Packer is the best tool for creating these type of files.
Development of this feature was kindly sponsored by Club Penguin Rewritten (https://cprewritten.net).
*`TextureSoure.compressionAlgorithm` is now populated with the compression format used by the texture.
*`Types.Textures.CompressedTextureData` is the new compressed texture configuration object type.
*`TextureManager.addCompressedTexture` is a new method that will add a compressed texture, and optionally atlas data into the Texture Manager and return a `Texture` object than any Sprite can use.
*`Textures.Parsers.KTXParser` is a new parser for the KTX compression container format.
*`Textures.Parsers.PVRParser` is a new parser for the PVR compression container format.
* The `WebGLRenderer.compression` property now holds a more in-depth object containing supported compression formats.
* The `WebGLRenderer.createTextureFromSource` method now accepts the `CompressedTextureData` data objects and creates WebGL textures from them.
*`WebGLRenderer.getCompressedTextures` is a new method that will populate the `WebGLRenderer.compression` object and return its value. This is called automatically when the renderer boots.
*`WebGLRenderer.getCompressedTextureName` is a new method that will return a compressed texture format GLenum based on the given format.
* If you have a customised Multi Tint Pipeline fragment shader that uses the `%forloop%` declaration, you should update it to follow the new format defined in `Multi.frag`. This new shader uses a function called `getSampler` instead. Please see the shader code and update your own shaders accordingly. You can also see the documentation for the MultiPipeline for details.
* The `Multi.frag` shader now uses a `highp` precision instead of `mediump`.
* The `WebGL.Utils.checkShaderMax` function will no longer use a massive if/else glsl shader check and will instead rely on the value given in `gl.getParameter(gl.MAX_TEXTURE_IMAGE_UNITS)`.
* The `WebGL.Utils.parseFragmentShaderMaxTextures` function no longer supports the `%forloop%` declaration.
* The internal WebGL Utils function `GenerateSrc` has been removed as it's no longer required internally.
We have updated the version of Matter Physics to the latest v0.18 release. This is a big jump and brings with it quite a few internal changes to Matter. The following are the differences we have identified in this release:
* Up to ~40% performance improvement (on average measured over all examples, in Node on a Mac Air M1)
* Replaces `Matter.Grid` with a faster and more efficient broadphase in `Matter.Detector`.
* Reduced memory usage and garbage collection.
* Resolves issues in `Matter.SAT` related to collision reuse.
* Removes performance issues from `Matter.Grid`.
* Improved collision accuracy.
*`MatterPhysics.collision` is a new reference to the `Collision` module, which now handles all Matter collision events.
*`MatterPhysics.grid` has been removed as this is now handled by the `Collision` module.
*`MatterPhysics.sat` has been removed as this is now handled by the `Collision` module.
* The `Matter.Body.previousPositionImpulse` property has been removed as it's no longer used.
*`ScaleManager.getViewPort` is a new method that will return a Rectangle geometry object that matches the visible area of the screen (thanks @rexrainbow)
* When starting a Scene and using an invalid key, Phaser will now raise a console warning informing you of this, instead of silently failing. Fix #5811 (thanks @ubershmekel)
*`GameObjects.Layer.addToDisplayList` and `removeFromDisplayList` are new methods that allows for you to now add a Layer as a child of another Layer. Fix #5799 (thanks @samme)
*`GameObjects.Video.loadURL` has a new optional 4th parameter `crossOrigin`. This allows you to specify a cross origin request type when loading the video cross-domain (thanks @rmartell)
* You can now set `loader.imageLoadType: "HTMLImageElement"` in your Game Configuration and the Phaser Loader will use an Image Tag to load all images, rather than XHR and a Blob object which is the default. This is a global setting, so all file types that use images, such as Atlas or Spritesheet, will be changed via this flag (thanks @hanzooo)
* You can now control the drawing offset of tiles in a Tileset using the new optional property `Tileset.tileOffset` (which is a Vector2). This property is set automatically when Tiled data is parsed and found to contain it. Fix #5633 (thanks @moJiXiang@kainage)
* You can now set the alpha value of the Camera Flash effect before running it, where-as previously it was always 1 (thanks @kainage)
* The `Tilemap.createFromObjects` method has been overhauled to support typed tiles from the Tiled Map Editor (https://doc.mapeditor.org/en/stable/manual/custom-properties/#typed-tiles). It will now also examine the Tileset to inherit properties based on the tile gid. It will also now attempt to use the same texture and frame as Tiled when creating the object (thanks @lackhand)
*`TweenManager.reset` is a new method that will take a tween, remove it from all internal arrays, then seek it back to its start and set it as being active.
* The `Video` config will now detect for `x-m4v` playback support for video formats and store it in the `Video.m4v` property. This is used automatically by the `VideoFile` file loader. Fix #5719 (thanks @patrickkeenan)
* The `KeyboardPlugin.removeKey` method has a new optional parameter `removeCapture`. This will remove any keyboard capture events for the given Key. Fix #5693 (thanks @cyantree)
* The `KeyboardPlugin.removeAllKeys` method has a new optional parameter `removeCapture`. This will remove any keyboard capture events for all of the Keys owned by the plugin.
*`WebGLShader.fragSrc` is a new property that holds the source of the fragment shader.
*`WebGLShader.vertSrc` is a new property that holds the source of the vertex shader.
*`WebGLShader#.createProgram` is a new method that will destroy and then re-create the shader program based on the given (or stored) vertex and fragment shader source.
*`WebGLShader.setBoolean` is a new method that allows you to set a boolean uniform on a shader.
*`WebGLPipeline.setBoolean` is a new method that allows you to set a boolean uniform on a shader.
*`Phaser.Scenes.Systems.getStatus` is a new method that will return the current status of the Scene.
*`Phaser.Scenes.ScenePlugin.getStatus` is a new method that will return the current status of the given Scene.
*`Math.LinearXY` is a new function that will interpolate between 2 given Vector2s and return a new Vector2 as a result (thanks @GregDevProjects)
*`Curves.Path.getCurveAt` is a new method that will return the curve that forms the path at the given location (thanks @natureofcode)
* You can now use any `Shape` Game Object as a Geometry Mask. Fix #5900 (thanks @rexrainbow)
*`TilemapLayer.setTint` is a new method that allows you to set the tint color of all tiles in the given area, optionally based on the filtering search options. This is a WebGL only feature.
*`RenderTexture.setIsSpriteTexture` is a new method that allows you to flag a Render Texture as being used as the source for Sprite Game Object textures. You can also toggle the new boolean property `isSpriteTexture` as well. Doing this ensures that images drawn to the Render Texture are correctly inverted for rendering in WebGL. Not doing so can cause inverted frames. If you use this method, you must use it before drawing anything to the Render Texture. Fix #6057#6017 (thanks @andymikulski@Grandnainconnu)
*`UtilityPipeline.blitFrame` has a new optional boolean parameter `flipY` which, if set, will invert the source Render Target while drawing it to the destination Render Target.
The following are API-breaking, in that a new optional parameter has been inserted prior to the output parameter. If you use any of the following functions, please update your code:
* The `Geom.Intersects.GetLineToLine` method has a new optional parameter `isRay`. If `true` it will treat the first line parameter as a ray, if false, as a line segment (the default).
* The `Geom.Intersects.GetLineToPoints` method has a new optional parameter `isRay`. If `true` it will treat the line parameter as a ray, if false, as a line segment (the default).
* The `Geom.Intersects.GetLineToPolygon` method has a new optional parameter `isRay`. If `true` it will treat the line parameter as a ray, if false, as a line segment (the default).
*`Geom.Intersects.GetRaysFromPointToPolygon` uses the new `isRay` parameter to enable this function to work fully again.
### Loader Updates
*`MultiFile.pendingDestroy` is a new method that is called by the Loader Plugin and manages preparing the file for deletion. It also emits the `FILE_COMPLETE` and `FILE_KEY_COMPLETE` events, fixing a bug where `MultiFile` related files, such as an Atlas JSON or a Bitmap Font File, wouldn't emit the `filecomplete` events for the parent file, only for the sub-files. This means you can now listen for the file completion event for `multiatlas` files, among others.
*`MultiFile.destroy` is a new method that clears down all external references of the file, helping free-up resources.
*`File.addToCache` no longer calls `File.pendingDestroy`, instead this is now handled by the Loader Plugin.
* There is a new File constant `FILE_PENDING_DESTROY` which is used to ensure Files aren't flagged for destruction more than once.
*`LoaderPlugin.localSchemes` is a new array of scheme strings that the Loader considers as being local files. This is populated by the new `Phaser.Core.Config#loaderLocalScheme` game / scene config property. It defaults to `[ 'file://', 'capacitor://' ]` but additional schemes can be defined or pushed onto this array. Based on #6010 (thanks @kglogocki)
* When you try to use a frame that is missing on the Texture, it will now give the key of the Texture in the console warning (thanks @samme)
* The `Display.Masks.BitmapMask``destroy` method will now remove the context-lost event handler.
* The `hitArea` parameter of the `GameObjects.Zone.setDropZone` method is now optional and if not given it will try to create a hit area based on the size of the Zone Game Object (thanks @rexrainbow)
*`BitmapMask.scene` is a new property that allows the Bitmap Mask to reference the Scene it was created in.
* The `DOMElement.preUpdate` method has been removed. If you overrode this method, please now see `preRender` instead.
*`DOMElement.preRender` is a new method that will check parent visibility and improve its behavior, responding to the parent even if the Scene is paused or the element is inactive. Dom Elements are also no longer added to the Scene Update List. Fix #5816 (thanks @prakol16@samme)
* Phaser 3 is now built with webpack 5 and all related packages have been updated.
* Previously, an Array Matrix would enforce it had more than 2 rows. This restriction has been removed, allowing you to define and rotate single-row array matrices (thanks @andriibarvynko)
* The Gamepad objects now have full TypeScript definitions thanks to @sylvainpolletvillard
* Lots of configuration objects now have full TypeScript definitions thanks to @16patsle
*`Particle.fire` will now throw an error if the particle has no texture frame. This prevents an uncaught error later when the particle fails to render. Fix #5838 (thanks @samme@monteiz)
*`ParticleEmitterManager.setEmitterFrames` will now print out console warnings if an invalid texture frame is given, or if no texture frames were set. Fix #5838 (thanks @samme@monteiz)
*`SceneManager.stop` and `sleep` will now ignore the call if the Scene has already been shut down, avoiding potential problems with duplicate event handles. Fix #5826 (thanks @samme)
* Removed the `Tint` and `Flip` components from the `Camera` class. Neither were ever used internally, or during rendering, so it was just confusing having them in the API.
* A new `console.error` will be printed if the `File`, `MultiFile`, `JSONFile` or `XMLFile` fail to process or parse correctly, even if they manage to load. Fix #5862#5851 (thanks @samme@ubershmekel)
* The `ScriptFile` Loader File Type has a new optional parameter: `type`. This is a string that controls the type attribute of the `<script>` tag that is generated by the Loader. By default it is 'script', but you can change it to 'module' or any other valid type.
* The JSON Hash and Array Texture Parsers will now throw a console.warn if the JSON is invalid and contains identically named frames.
*`Scene.pause` will now check to see if the Scene is in either a RUNNING or CREATING state and throw a warning if not. You cannot pause non-running Scenes.
*`Mesh.addVertices` will now throw a console warning if invalid vertices data is given to the method (thanks @omniowl)
*`Mesh.addVerticesFromObj` will now throw a console warning if invalid vertices data is given to the method (thanks @omniowl)
*`TouchManager.onTouchOver` and `onTouchOut` have been removed, along with all of their related event calls as they're not used by any browser any more.
*`TouchManager.isTop` is a new property, copied from the MouseManager, that retains if the window the touch is interacting with is the top one, or not.
* The `InputManager.onTouchMove` method will now check if the changed touch is over the canvas, or not, via the DOM `elementFromPoint` function. This means if the touch leaves the canvas, it will now trigger the `GAME_OUT` and `GAME_OVER` events, where-as before this would only happen for a Mouse. If the touch isn't over the canvas, no Pointer touch move happens, just like with the mouse. Fix #5592 (thanks @rexrainbow)
*`TileMap.createBlankDynamicLayer` has now been removed as it was deprecated in 3.50.
*`TileMap.createDynamicLayer` has now been removed as it was deprecated in 3.50.
*`TileMap.createStaticLayer` has now been removed as it was deprecated in 3.50.
*`Animations.AnimationManager.createFromAseprite` has a new optional 3rd parameter `target`. This allows you to create the animations directly on a Sprite, instead of in the global Animation Manager (thanks Telemako)
*`Animations.AnimationState.createFromAseprite` is a new method that allows you to create animations from exported Aseprite data directly on a Sprite, rather than always in the global Animation Manager (thanks Telemako)
* The `Renderer.Snapshot.WebGL` function has had its first parameter changed from an `HTMLCanvasElement` to a `WebGLRenderingContext`. This is now passed in from the `snapshot` methods inside the WebGL Renderer. The change was made to allow it to work with WebGL2 custom contexts (thanks @andymikulski)
* If you start a Scene that is already starting (START, LOADING, or CREATING) then the start operation is now ignored (thanks @samme)
* If you start a Scene that is Sleeping, it is shut down before starting again. This matches how Phaser currently handles paused scenes (thanks @samme)
* The right-click context menu used to be disabled on the document.body via the `disableContextMenu` function, but instead now uses the MouseManager / TouchManager targets, which if not specified defaults to the game canvas. Fix # (thanks @lukashass)
* The `Key.reset` method no longer resets the `Key.enabled` or `Key.preventDefault` booleans back to `true` again, but only resets the state of the Key. Fix #6098 (thanks @descodifica)
* When setting the Input Debug Hit Area color it was previously fixed to the value given when created. The value is now taken from the object directly, meaning you can set `gameObject.hitAreaDebug.strokeColor` in real-time (thanks @spayton)
* The `Light` Game Object now has the `Origin` and `Transform` components, along with 4 new properties: `width`, `height`, `displayWidth` and `displayHeight`. This allows you to add a Light to a Container, or enable it for physics. Fix #6126 (thanks @jcoppage)
* The `Transform` Component has a new boolean read-only property `hasTransformComponent` which is set to `true` by default.
* The Arcade Physics `World.enableBody` method will now only create and add a `Body` to an object if it has the Transform component, tested by checking the `hasTransformComponent` property. Without the Transform component, creating a Body would error with NaN values, causing the rest of the bodies in the world to fail.
*`Animation.createFromAseprite` would calculate an incorrect frame duration if the frames didn't all have the same speed.
* The URL scheme `capacitor://` has been added to the protocol check to prevent malformed double-urls in some environments (thanks @consolenaut)
* Removed `Config.domBehindCanvas` property as it's never used internally. Fix #5749 (thanks @iamallenchang)
*`dispatchTweenEvent` would overwrite one of the callback's parameters. This fix ensures that `Tween.setCallback` now works consistently. Fix #5753 (thanks @andrei-pmbcn @samme)
* The context restore event handler is now turned off when a Game Object is destroyed. This helps avoid memory leakage from Text and TileSprite Game Objects, especially if you consistently destroy and recreate your Game instance in a single-page app (thanks @rollinsafary-inomma @rexrainbow@samme)
* When the device does not support WebGL, creating a game with the renderer type set to `Phaser.WEBGL` will now fail with an error. Previously, it would fall back to Canvas. Now it will not fall back to Canvas. If you require that feature, use the AUTO render type. Fix #5583 (thanks @samme)
* The `Tilemap.createFromObjects` method will now correctly place both tiles and other objects. Previously, it made the assumption that the origin was 0x1 for all objects, but Tiled only uses this for tiles and uses 0x0 for its other objects. It now handles both. Fix #5789 (thanks @samme)
* The `CanvasRenderer.snapshotCanvas` method used an incorrect reference to the canvas, causing the operation to fail. It will now snapshot a canvas correctly. Fix #5792#5448 (thanks @rollinsafary-inomma @samme@akeboshi1)
* The `Tilemap.tileToWorldY` method incorrectly had the parameter `tileX`. It will worked, but didn't make sense. It is now `tileY` (thanks @mayacoda)
* The `Tilemap.convertTilemapLayer` method would fail for _isometric tilemaps_ by not setting the physic body alignment properly. It will now call `getBounds` correctly, allowing for use on non-orthagonal maps. Fix #5764 (thanks @mayacoda)
* The `PluginManager.installScenePlugin` method will now check if the plugin is missing from the local keys array and add it back in, if it is (thanks @xiamidaxia)
* The Spine Plugin would not work with multiple instances of the same game on a single page. It now stores its renderer reference outside of the plugin, enabling this. Fix #5765 (thanks @xiamidaxia)
* In Arcade Physics, Group vs. self collisions would cause double collision callbacks due to the use of the quad tree. For this specific conditions, the quad tree is now skipped. Fix #5758 (thanks @samme)
* During a call to `GameObject.Shapes.Rectangle.setSize` it will now correctly update the Rectangle object's display origin and default hitArea (thanks @rexrainbow)
* The Arcade Physics Body will now recalculate its center after separation with a Tile in time for the values to be correct in the collision callbacks (thanks @samme)
* The `ParseTileLayers` function has been updated so that it no longer breaks when using a Tiled infinite map with empty chunks (thanks @jonnytest1)
* The `PutTileAt` function will now set the Tile dimensions from the source Tileset, fixing size related issues when placing tiles manually. Fix #5644 (thanks @moJiXiang@stuffisthings)
* The new `Tileset.tileOffset` property fixes an issue with drawing isometric tiles when an offset had been defined in the map data (thanks @moJiXiang)
* Fixed issue in `Geom.Intersects.GetLineToLine` function that would fail with colinear lines (thanks @Skel0t)
* The `CameraManager.destroy` function will now remove the Scale Manager `RESIZE` event listener created as part of `boot`, where-as before it didn't clean it up, leading to gc issues. Fix #5791 (thanks @liuhongxuan23)
* With `roundPixels` set to true in the game or camera config, Sprites will no longer render at sub-pixel positions under CANVAS. Fix #5774 (thanks @samme)
* The Camera will now emit `PRE_RENDER` and `POST_RENDER` events under the Canvas Renderer. Fix #5729 (thanks @ddanushkin)
* The Multi Pipeline now uses `highp float` precision by default, instead of `mediump`. This fixes issues with strange blue 'spots' appearing under WebGL on some Android devices. Fix #5751#5659#5655 (thanks @actionmoon@DuncanPriebe@ddanushkin)
* The `Tilemaps.Tile.getBounds` method would take a `camera` parameter but then not pass it to the methods called internally, thus ignoring it. It now factors the camera into the returned Rectangle.
*`Tilemap.createFromObjects` has had the rendering of Tiled object layers on isometric maps fixed. Objects contained in object layers generated by Tiled use orthogonal positioning even when the map is isometric and this update accounts for that (thanks @lfarroco)
* Timers with very short delays (i.e. 1ms) would only run the callback at the speed of the frame update. It will now try and match the timer rate by iterating the calls per frame. Fix #5863 (thanks @rexrainbow)
* The `Text`, `TileSprite` and `RenderTexture` Game Objects would call the pre and post batch functions twice by mistake, potentially applying a post fx twice to them.
*`ScaleManager.getParentBounds` will now also check to see if the canvas bounds have changed x or y position, and if so return `true`, causing the Scale Manager to refresh all of its internal cached values. This fixes an issue where the canvas may have changed position on the page, but not its width or height, so a refresh wasn't triggered. Fix #5884 (thanks @jameswilddev)
* The `SceneManager.bootScene` method will now always call `LoaderPlugin.start`, even if there are no files in the queue. This means that the Loader will always dispatch its `START` and `COMPLETE` events, even if the queue is empty because the files are already cached. You can now rely on the `START` and `COMPLETE` events to be fired, regardless, using them safely in your preload scene. Fix #5877 (thanks @sipals)
* Calling `TimerEvent.reset` in the Timer callback would cause the timer to be added to the Clock's pending removal and insertion lists together, throwing an error. It will now not add to pending removal if the timer was reset. Fix #5887 (thanks @rexrainbow)
* Calling `ParticleEmitter.setScale` would set the `scaleY` property to `null`, causing calls to `setScaleY` to throw a runtime error. `scaleY` is now a required property across both the Particle and Emitter classes and all of the conditional checks for it have been removed (thanks ojg15)
* Calling `Tween.reset` when a tween was in a state of `PENDING_REMOVE` would cause it to fail to restart. It now restarts fully. Fix #4793 (thanks @spayton)
* The default `Tween._pausedState` has changed from `INIT` to `PENDING_ADD`. This fixes a bug where if you called `Tween.play` immediately after creating it, it would force the tween to freeze. Fix #5454 (thanks @michal-bures)
* If you start a `PathFollower` with a `to` value it will now tween and complete at that value, rather than the end of the path as before (thanks @samme)
*`Text` with RTL enabled wouldn't factor in the left / right padding correctly, causing the text to be cut off. It will now account for padding in the line width calculations. Fix #5830 (thanks @rexrainbow)
* The `Path.fromJSON` function would use the wrong name for a Quadratic Bezier curve class, meaning it would be skipped in the exported JSON. It's now included correctly (thanks @natureofcode)
* The `Input.Touch.TouchManager.stopListeners` forgot to remove the `touchcancel` handler. This is now removed correctly (thanks @teng-z)
* The `BitmapMask` shader has been recoded so it now works correctly if you mask a Game Object that has alpha set on it, or in its texture. Previously it would alpha the Game Object against black (thanks stever1388)
* When the Pointer moves out of the canvas and is released it would trigger `Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'renderList')` if multiple children existed in the pointer-out array. Fix #5867#5699 (thanks @rexrainbow@lyger)
* If the Input Target in the game config was a string, it wouldn't be correctly parsed by the Touch Manager.
* The `InputPlugin.sortGameObjects` will now assign a value of 0 to any game object not in the render list, but still viable for input, such as an invisible object with `alwaysEnabled` set to true. This fixes an issue where non-render list objects would be skipped. Fix #5507 (thanks @EmilSV)
* The `GameObject.willRender` method will now factor in the parent `displayList`, if it has one, to the end result. This fixes issues like that where an invisible Layer will still process input events. Fix #5883 (thanks @rexrainbow)
*`InputPlugin.disable` will now also reset the drag state of the Game Object as well as remove it from all of the internal temporary arrays. This fixes issues where if you disabled a Game Object for input during an input event it would still remain in the temporary internal arrays. This method now also returns the Input Plugin, to match `enable`. Fix #5828 (thank @natureofcode@thewaver)
* The `GetBounds` component has been removed from the Point Light Game Object. Fix #5934 (thanks @x-wk @samme)
*`SceneManager.moveAbove` and `moveBelow` now take into account the modified indexes after the move (thanks @EmilSV)
* When forcing a game to use `setTimeout` and then sending the game to sleep, it would accidentally restart by using Request Animation Frame instead (thanks @andymikulski)
* Including a `render` object within the Game Config will no longer erase any top-level config render settings. The `render` object will now take priority over the game config, but both will be used (thanks @vzhou842)
* Calling `Tween.stop(0)` would run for an additional delta before stopping, causing the Tween to not be truly 100% "reset". Fix #5986 (thanks @Mesonyx)
* The `Utils.Array.SafeRange` function would exclude valid certain ranges. Fix #5979 (thanks @ksritharan)
* Drawing Game Objects to a Render Texture in WebGL would skip their blend modes. This is now applied correctly. Fix #5565#5996 (thanks @sjb933@danarcher)
* The DisplayList will now enter a while loop until all Game Objects are destroyed, rather than cache the list length. This prevents "cannot read property 'destroy' of undefined" errors in Scenes. Fix #5520 (thanks @schontz@astei)
* Particles can now be moved to 0x0. `moveToX` and `moveToY` now default to null instead of 0 (thanks @samme)
* Layers will now destroy more carefully when children destroy themselves (thanks @rexrainbow)
* An error in the `GetBitmapTextSize` function caused kerning to not be applied correctly to Bitmap Text objects. This now works across WebGL and Canvas (thanks @arbassic@TJ09)
*`WebGLSnapshot` and `CanvasSnapshot` will now Math.floor the width/height values to ensure no sub-pixel dimensions, which corrupts the resulting texture. Fix #6099 (thanks @orjandh)
*`ContainerCanvasRenderer` would pass in a 5th `container` parameter to the child `renderCanvas` call, which was breaking the `GraphicsCanvasRenderer` and isn't needed by any Game Object, so has been removed. Fix #6093 (thanks @Antriel)
* Fixed issue in `Utils.Objects.GetValue` where it would return an incorrect result if a `source` and `altSource` were provided that didn't match in structure. Fix #5952 (thanks @rexrainbow)
* Fixed issue in Game Config where having an empty object, such as `render: {}` would cause set properties to be overriden with the default value. Fix #6097 (thanks @michalfialadev)
* The `SceneManager.moveAbove` and `moveBelow` methods didn't check the order of the Scenes being moved, so moved them even if one was already above / below the other. Both methods now check the indexes first. Fix #6040 (thanks @yuupsup)
* The frame duration calculations in the `AnimationManager.createFromAseprite` method would be incorrect if they contained a mixture of long and very short duration frames (thanks @martincapello)
* The `TilemapLayer.getTilesWithinShape` method would not return valid results when used with a Line geometry object. Fix #5640 (thanks @hrecker@samme)
* Modified the way Phaser uses `require` statements in order to fix an issue in Google's closure-compiler when variables are re-assigned to new values (thanks @TJ09)
* When creating a `MatterTileBody` from an isometric tile the tiles top value would be incorrect. The `getTop` method has been fixed to address this (thanks @adamazmil)
* Sprites created directly (not via the Game Object Factory) which are then added to a Container would fail to play their animations, because they were not added to the Scene Update List. Fix #5817#5818#6052 (thanks @prakol16@adomas-sk)
* Game Objects that were created and destroyed (or moved to Containers) in the same frame were not correctly removed from the UpdateList. Fix #5803 (thanks @samme)
*`Container.removeHandler` now specifies the context for `Events.DESTROY`, fixing an issue where objects moved from one container, to another, then destroyed, would cause `sys` reference errors. Fix 5846 (thanks @sreadixl)
*`Container.removeAll` (which is also called when a Container is destroyed) will now directly destroy the children, if the given parameter is set, rather than doing it after removing them via the event handler. This fixes an issue where nested Containers would add destroyed children back to the Scene as part of their shutdown process. Fix #6078 (thanks @BenoitFreslon)
* The `DisplayList.addChildCallback` method will now check to see if the child has a parent container, and if it does, remove it from there before adding it to the Scene Display List. Fix #6091 (thanks @michalfialadev)
My thanks to the following for helping with the Phaser 3 Examples, Docs, and TypeScript definitions, either by reporting errors, fixing them, or helping author the docs:
