Sprite.updateCrop is available if you wish to update an externally referenced crop rectangle.
Sprites and Images now have their own textures objects, they are no longer references to those stored in the global Pixi.TextureCache. This allows you to redefine the texture frame dynamically without messing up any other Sprites in your game, such as via cropping. They still share global Base Textures, so image references are kept to a minimum.
Sprite.resetFrame will revert the Sprites texture frame back to its defaults dimensions. This is called when you call Sprite.crop with no rectangle, to reset the crop effect, but can be userful in other situations so we've left it as a public method.
InputHandler._setHandCursor private var wasn't properly set, meaning the hand cursor could sometimes remain (during destroy sequence for example)
All Game Objects have a new property: destroyPhase (boolean) which is true if the object is in the process of being destroyed, otherwise false.
The PIXI.AbstractFilter is now included in the Phaser Pixi build by default, allowing for easier use of external Pixi Filters.
Emitter.particleAnchor allows you to control the anchor of emitted Particles. Defaults to 0.5 (same as before) but now under your control.
Emitter now emits Phaser.Particle objects instead of Phaser.Sprites, which can be extended as required.
Emitter has had various local properties removed that were already declared in Phaser.Group which it extends.
ArcadePhysics.Body.reset incorrectly set the Body.rotation to Sprite.rotation instead of angle.
Emitter.emitParticle resets the rotation on the particle to zero before emitting it.
Lots of fixes to the TypeScript definitions file (thanks as always to clark-stevenson for his tireless work on these)
Emitters now bring the particle they are about to emit to the top of the Group before doing so. Avoids particles hidden behind others.
ArcadePhysics.Body.setSize corrected to take the parameters as positive, not negative values.
ArcadePhysics.Body now checks the Sprite scale automatically and adjusts the body size accordingly (fix#608)
Emitter.particleClass can now be set to any object that extends Phaser.Sprite, which will be emitted instead of a regular Sprite.
All the Debug methods have had the word 'render' removed from the start. So where you did `debug.renderSpriteInfo` before, it's now just `debug.spriteInfo`.
Debug methods that rendered geometry (Rectangle, Circle, Line, Point) have been merged into the single method: `Debug.geom`.
Fixed issue where renderOrderID wasn't being assigned correctly, causing the Input Handler to be unable to select the "top" item on a display list (would all default to zero)
Fixed issue where Stage would assign renderOrderIDs in reverse, should be in sequence.
Fixed issue where objects where checking World for the currentRenderOrderID by mistake instead of Stage.
Basically, input handling works a lot better now for Groups and nested objects :)
New build script now cleanly splits Phaser, Pixi and p2 so they are each UMD wrapped and each available in the global scope (now more requireJS friendly!).
phaser-no-libs.js allows you to use your own version of p2.js or pixi.js with Phaser. Warning: This is totally unsupported. If you hit bugs, you fix them yourself.
Fixed silly instanceof bug in game objects (sorry guys).
You can now safely destroy a Group and the 'destroyChildren' boolean will propogate fully down the display list.
Calling destroy on an already destroyed object would throw a run-time error. Now checked for and aborted.
Calling destroy while in an Input Event callback now works for either the parent Group or the calling object itself.
In Group.destroy the default for 'destroyChildren' was false. It's now `true` as this is a far more likely requirement when destroying a Group.
All GameObjects now have a 'destroyChildren' boolean as a parameter to their destroy method. It's default is true and the value propogates down its children.
Sprite.smoothed and Image.smoothed allows you to set per-Sprite smoothing, perfect if you just want to keep a few sprites smoothed (or not).
Fixes#381.
You can now create a Physics Body directly via game.physics.createBody(), and Body has been updated so it's no longer always bound to a Sprite.
Debug.renderPhysicsBody now works with Rectangles, Lines and multiple Convex shapes.
Starting to get the Tiled polyline parsing working nicely. Not too far off a complete tilemap collision.
fixedToCamrea now works for Groups as well :) You can fix a Group to the camera and it will influence its children.
Also fixed the issue with World.preUpdate/postUpdate not being called and various small documentation issues.
Text.inputEnabled allows you to enable all input events over Text objects: dragging, clicking, etc - anything that works on a Sprite works on Text now too.
Debug.renderPhysicsBody(body, color) is extremely useful for debugging the new physics bodies. Will draw the outline + points in the color given.
Debug.renderBodyInfo(sprite, x, y, color) will display lots of Sprite body data.
* Updated: Sprite.deltaX/Y removed due to non-use. prevX/Y values moved to Sprite._cache.prevX/Y.
* Updated: Due to missing extends parameter the Sprite prototype was picking up functions from classes it never meant to (Button, TilemapLayer), now fully isolated.
