phaser/changelog/3.85/CHANGELOG-v3.85.md

Version 3.85.0 - Itsuki - in development

New Features

• BaseSoundManager.isPlaying is a new method that will return a boolean if the given sound key is playing. If you don't provide a key, it will return a boolean if any sound is playing (thanks @samme)

WebGL Rendering Updates

• WebGLTextureWrapper.update expanded:
  • source parameter is now type ?object, so it can be used for anything that is valid in the constructor.
  • New format parameter can update the texture format.

Updates

• Calling Timeline.pause will now pause any currently active Tweens that the Timeline had started (thanks @monteiz)
• Calling Timeline.resume will now resume any currently paused Tweens that the Timeline had started (thanks @monteiz)
• Calling Timeline.clear and Timeline.destroy will now destroy any currently active Tweens that the Timeline had created. Previously, active tweens would continue to play to completion (thanks @monteiz)
• TimelineEvent has a new property called tweenInstance. If the Timeline event has a tween that has been activated, this will hold a reference to it.
• If you create a BitmapText with an invalid key it will now throw a runtime error. Previously it just issued a console warning and then crashed (thanks @samme)
• The console warnings when Audio files are missing/incorrect have been improved (thanks @samme)
• The requestVideoFrame polyfill has been updated to the latest release, which should resolve some SSR framework issues. Fix #6776 (thanks @lantictac)

Bug Fixes

• The activePointers game config option is now the correct amount of touch input pointers set. Fix #6783 (thanks @samme)
• The method TextureManager.checkKey will now return false if the key is not a string, which fixes issues where a texture could be created if a key was given that was already in use (thanks Will Macfarlane).
• Added all of the missing Loader Config values (such as imageLoadType) to LoaderConfig, so they now appear in the TypeScript defs.
• The EXPAND scale mode had a bug that prevented it from using the world bounds cameras, cutting rendering short. Fix #6767 (thanks @Calcue-dev @rexrainbow)
• Calling getPipelineName() on a Game Object would cause a runtime error if running under Canvas. It now simply returns null. Fix #6799 (thanks @samme)

Deprecation Warning for the next release

The next release of Phaser will make the following API-breaking changes:

• We are removing Phaser.Struct.Map and replacing it with a regular JS Map instance. This means methods like contains and setAll will be gone.
• We are removing Phaser.Struct.Set and replacing it with a regular JS Set instance. This means methods like iterateLocal will be gone.
• The Create.GenerateTexture, all of the Create Palettes and the create folder will be removed.
• The phaser-ie9.js entry-point will be removed along with all associated polyfills.
