 * Tween.to and Tween.from can now accept `null` as the ease parameter value. If `null` it will use the default tween, as per the documentation (thanks @nkovacs #1817)
 * TilemapParser.parseTiledJSON would ignore 'falsey' properties set on Objects in Tiled JSON tilemaps, such as `x: 0` or `visible: false`. These properties are now accurately copied over to the destination map data (thanks @MaksJS #1818)
 * Removed un-necessary PIXI.TextureCache pollution in Phaser.LoaderParser.bitmapFont.
-* 
+* Sound.resume wouldn't properly restart looped sounds in Chrome after being paused. Phaser now specifically handles the Chrome 42 bug and later fix (thanks @nkovacs #1820)
 
 For changes in previous releases please see the extensive [Version History](https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md).
