Significant Internal Changes

• The PIXI.TextureCache global array is no longer used internally for storing Pixi Texture files. It's not actually a requirement of Pixi to use this and we were running into various issues with texture conflicts in DragonBones tests and issues with shared texture frames between Sprites. It meant we couldn't crop a sprite without cropping all instances unless we created a new texture frame at run-time, which as you can imagine is a huge overhead if you then want to crop an animated Sprite.

After talking with Mat at GoodBoyDigital about the issue it was his idea to just not use the TextureCache at all, and let each Sprite have its own frame. So this is the direction we've taken. We didn't save this for the 2.1 release as it doesn't actually alter the Phaser API at all, but it does change how things are working internally. So if you've got game code hooked directly into the TextureCache you need to be aware of this change before updating to 2.0.6.

• The way in which Sprite.crop works has been changed. It will now adjust the dimensions of the sprite itself, remaining at the sprites previous x/y coordinates. Please be aware of this if you use cropped sprites in your game. The change was worth it though as it's significantly more powerful as a result.

Updates

• Merged Pixi 1.6.0 with Phaser - all of the lovely new Pixi features are in, like complex Graphics objects and masking.
• TypeScript definitions fixes and updates (thanks @clark-stevenson and @Phaiax)
• Documentation fixes (thanks @kay-is #941)
• BitmapData.draw can now also take a Phaser.Sprite, Phaser.Image or BitmapData object as a source type. As a result BitmapData.drawSprite is now depcreated.
• BitmapData.alphaMask can now also take a Phaser.Sprite, Phaser.Image or BitmapData object as a source type.
• BitmapData.alphaMask has 2 new optional parameters: sourceRect and maskRect to give more fine-grained control over where the source and mask are drawn and their size
• BitmapData.alphaMask 'mask' parameter is now optional, if not given it will use itself as the mask.
• BitmapData.alphaMask now calls BitmapData.update after running.
• BitmapData.draw now has two optional parameters: width and height, to let you stretch the image being drawn if needed.
• Group.destroy now removes any set filters (thanks @Jmaharman fix #844)
• RetroFont charsPerRow paramters is now optional. If not given it will take the image width and divide it by the characterWidth value.
• RetroFont now uses Phaser.scaleModes.NEAREST by default for its RenderTexture to preserve scaling.
• Loader.tilemap has renamed the mapURL parameter to url and mapData to data to keep it consistent with the other Loader methods.
• Loader.physics has renamed the dataURL parameter to url and jsonData to data to keep it consistent with the other Loader methods.
• Stage no longer creates the Phaser.Canvas object, but Game itself does in the setupRenderer method.
• Canvas.create has deprecated the noCocoon parameter as it's no longer required. The parameter is still in the signature, but no longer used in the method.
• Time.add allows you to add an existing Phaser.Timer to the timer pool (request #864)
• Emitter.start has a new parameter: forceQuantity which will force the quantity of a flow of particles to be the given value (request #853)
• Sound.pause will no longer fire a Sound.onStop signal, and the pause values are set before the onPause signal is dispatched (thanks @AnderbergE, fix #868)
• Swapped to using escaped Unicode characters for the console output.
• Frame.setTrim no longer modifies the Frame width and height values.
• AnimationParser doesn't populate the Pixi.TextureCache for every frame any longer. Each display object has its own texture property instead.
• Removed the cacheKey parameters from the AnimationParser methods as they're no longer used.
• Loader.isLoading is set to false if the filelist size is zero.
• Sound.externalNode has had the input property dropped from it, bringing it back in line with the AudioNode spec (thanks @villetou, #840)
• The StateManager has a preRenderCallback option, which checks for a preRender function existing on the State, but it was never called. Have decided to add this in, so the core Game loop now calls state.preRender right before the renderer runs (thanks @AnderbergE #869)
• Game.onBlur and Game.onFocus events are now dispatched regardless if Stage.disableVisibilityChange is true or false, so you can respond to these events without your game automatically pausing or resuming (#911)
• Image has been heavily refactored to make use of common code in Phaser.Sprite, cutting the file size down significantly.
• When using the non-minified version of Phaser it will throw a console.warn if you give an invalid texture key to a Sprite, Image or TileSprite (thanks @lucbloom, #990)

CocoonJS Specific Updates

• Wrapped all touch, keyboard, mouse and fullscreen events that CocoonJS doesn't support in conditional checks to avoid Warnings.
• The SoundManager no longer requires a touch to unlock it, defaults to unlocked.
• Resolved issue where Cocoon won't render a scene in Canvas mode if there is only one Sprite/Image on it.

New Features

• BitmapData.extract has a new parameter that lets you control if the destination BitmapData is resized before the pixels are copied.
• BitmapData.extract has 4 new parameters: r2, g2, b2, a2 which let you re-color the extract pixels as they are drawn to the new BitmapData.
• BitmapData.load will take a game object or string and resize the BitmapData to match it and then draw the pixels in.
• Keyboard.addCallbacks now has a new parameter for keypress event capture.
• Keyboard.pressEvent stores the most recent DOM keypress event.
• Keyboard.processKeyDown now runs the callback after all the objects have been created and/or updated.
• Keyboard.processKeyUp now runs the callback after all the objects have been created and/or updated.
• Phaser.Keyboard.lastChar will return the string value of the last key pressed.
• Phaser.Keyboard.lastKey will return the most recently pressed Key object.
• RetroFont.updateOffset allows you to modify the offsetX/Y values used by the font during rendering.
• ArcadePhysics.Body has a new boolean property enable. If false the body won't be checked for any collision or overlaps, or have its pre or post update methods called. Use this for easy toggling of physics bodies without having to destroy or re-create the Body object itself.
• BitmapData.addToWorld will create a new Phaser.Image object, assign the BitmapData to be its texture, add it to the world then return it.
• BitmapData.copyPixels now accepts a Sprite, Image, BitmapData, HTMLImage or string as its source.
• Loader.pack will allow you to load in a new Phaser Asset Pack JSON file. An Asset Pack is a specially structured file that allows you to define all assets for your game in an external file. The file can be split into sections, allowing you to control loading a specific set of files from it. An example JSON file can be found in the resources\Asset Pack JSON Format folder and examples of use in the Phaser Examples repository.
• Loader.totalQueuedPacks returns the number of Asset Packs in the queue.
• Loader.totalLoadedPacks returns the number of Asset Packs already loaded.
• Emitter.explode is a new short-cut for exploding a fixed quantity of particles at once.
• Emitter.flow is a new short-cut for creating a flow of particles based on the given frequency.
• Sprite.crop (and Image.crop) has been completely overhauled. You can now crop animated sprites (sprite sheet and texture atlas), you can define the x/y crop offset and the crop rectangle is exposed in the Sprite.cropRect property.
• 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.
• TilemapLayers can now be used with an unbounded camera (a camera that can move beyond the world boundaries). Currently, when an unbounded camera moves outside of the world, tilemaps start acting weird because they only render themselves strictly within the world limits. With this change, the tilemap will continue scrolling and show empty space beyond its edge (thanks @jotson #851)
• TilemapLayer.wrap property - if true the map is rendered as if it is on the surface of a toroid (donut) instead of a plane. This allows for games that seamlessly scroll from one edge to the opposite edge of the world without noticing the transition. Note that the World size must match the Map size (thanks @jotson #851)
• Added PlayStation 3 controller button mappings to Phaser.Gamepad (thanks @wayfu)
• GamepadButton.destroy method added. Called automatically by SinglePad when a controller is disconnected.
• Added Math.factorial (thanks @alvinsight, #940)
• Full Mouse Wheel support added, with new constants and callbacks for mouse wheel movement (thanks @woutercommandeur, #959)
• A Phaser version of the Pixi PixelateFilter was added by @paperkettle #939)
• TileMap.setPreventRecalculate allows you to turn on / off the recalculation of tile faces for tile collision, which is handy when modifying large portions of a map to avoid slow-down (thanks @sivael, #951)
• Group.add has a new optional boolean parameter: silent. If set to true the child will not dispatch its onAddedToGroup event.
• Group.addAt has a new optional bo...

• AnimationManager.play will now call Animation.stop on the current animation before switching to the new one (thanks @nihakue, #713)
• ArcadePhysics.Body.phase is checked in postUpdate to prevent it from being called multiple times in a single frame.
• Group.setProperty will now check if the property exists before setting it, this applies to Group.setAll and anything else using setProperty internally.

Updates

• Updated to Pixi.js 1.5.2
• Updated to p2.js 0.5.0
• Return the result of P2.Body.setCircle for further chaining and manipulation (fix #659)
• Updated the PhysicsEditor plugin to maintain position, radius, mask bits, category bits and sensor flags (thanks @georgiee, #674)
• Further TypeScript defs tweaks (thanks @clark-stevenson)
• Lowered the default size of SpriteBatch from 10000 to 2000 as this yields faster results on mobile (pixi.js update)
• Fix for 'jagged' strokes on custom fonts (thanks @nickryall, #677)
• The State.update function (and thus the update of any sub-classed Sprites or other objects) is now called before Stage, Tweens, Sound, Input, etc (#662)
• The Phaser jshint process is now running on Travis (thanks @xtian, #656)
• The Phaser Gruntfile is now split up into option tasks (thanks @xtian, #638)
• Key.reset now clears any callbacks associated with the onDown and onUp events and nulls the onHoldCallback if set. Key.reset is called by Keyboard.reset when changing state.
• If you pass null to Tilemap.putTile as the tile parameter it will pass the call over to Tilemap.removeTile.
• TypeScript definitions updated for latest changes (thanks @clark-stevenson)
• Keyboard.stop nulls the function references after removing the event listeners (thanks @bmceldowney, #691)
• Tilemap.hasTile allows for multi-layer type parameter (thanks @Raeven0, #680)
• Grunt update to dev dependencies (thanks @xtian, #695)
• 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.
• PluginManager parent parameter removed as it's redundant. Also most core functions tidied up and jsdocs fixed.
• p2.World.defaultRestitution has been deprecated and is now p2.World.restitution.
• p2.World.defaultFriction has been deprecated and is now p2.World.friction.
• p2.World now uses 4 bodies for the world boundaries, rather than 1 body with 4 shapes. This stops the bounds triggering narrowphase with every single body in the world.
• p2.World bounds are now included in the callback events such as beginContact and impact events.
• Thanks to @stuff the Classes drop-down list in the API docs now indents the sub-classes.

New Features

• Added ability to retrieve a single p2 fixture from the cache (thanks @georgiee, #674)
• Timers can now have a start delay value (thanks @georgiee, #660)
• CacheAsBitmap added to Display Object, so works for Sprite, Image, Button. Allows you to cache complex display hierarchies for speed.

• Added generateTexture function to display objects. Create a texture from the current object display hierarchy for use as a texture elsewhere.
• Added optional FilterArea to display object (for optimisation)
• Graphics chaining functions.
• Added Pointer.positionUp which records the last point at which the pointer left the screen (thanks @Cryszon, #676)
• Phaser.Point.centroid static function added to calculate the centroid or midpoint of an array of points (thanks @lewster32, #675)
• SoundManager.remove(sound) now lets you remove a sound from the SoundManager, destroying it in the process.
• Sound.destroy will remove a sound and all local references it holds, optionally removing itself from the SoundManager as well.
• SoundManager.removeByKey(key) will remove all sounds from the SoundManager that have a key matching the given value.
• ArcadePhysics.Body.hitTest(x, y) will return a boolean based on if the given world coordinate are within the Body or not.
• StateManager.restart allows you to quickly restart the current state, optionally clearing the world and cache.
• Tilemap.removeTile(x, y, layer) lets you remove the tile at the given coordinates and updates the collision data.
• Tilemap.removeTileWorldXY lets you remove the tile at the given pixel value coordinates and updates the collision data.
• Key.enabled boolean allows you to toggle if a Key processes its update method or dispatches any events without deleting and re-creating it.
• Emitter now has minParticleAlpha and maxParticleAlpha values for setting a random alpha on emitted particles.
• Emitter.particleAnchor allows you to control the anchor of emitted Particles. Defaults to 0.5 (same as before) but now under your control.
• Emitter.setAlpha allows you to quickly set the min and max alpha values.
• Emitter.setScale allows you to quickly set the min and max scale values.
• Emitter.blendMode lets you set the blendMode of any emitted Particle (needs a browser that supports canvas blend modes)
• Group.customSort allows you to sort the Group children based on your own sort function.
• Emitter.setScale has a new 'rate' parameter which allows particles to change in scale over time, using any Easing value or timescale.
• Emitter.setScale now allows you to scale the x and y axis of the particles independently.
• Emitter.setAlpha has a new 'rate' parameter which allows particles to change alpha over time, using any Easing value or timescale.
• Emitter.bringToTop and Emitter.sendToBack are booleans that let you optionally set the display order of the Particle when emitted.
• Emitter now calls the Phaser.Particle.onEmit function, which is left empty for you to override and add in custom behaviours.
• p2.World has a new contactMaterial property, which can be configured like a normal P2 Contact Material and is applied when two bodies hit that don't have defined materials.
• Group.remove has a new 'destroy' parameter (false by default), which will optionally call destroy on the item removed from the Group.
• Group.removeAll has a new 'destroy' parameter (false by default), which will optionally call destroy on the items removed from the Group.
• Group.removeBetween has a new 'destroy' parameter (false by default), which will optionally call destroy on the items removed from the Group.
• @georgiee created a new P2.FixtureList class to allow easy access the fixtures of a created P2 Body:

This is especially useful in combination with PhysicsEditor and P2.Body#addPhaserPolygon.

You can configure your whole collision grouping in PhysicsEditor and then you can later change the mask bits easily with this class. You can also access parts (groups) and named fixtures by a group index or a fixture key - both properties can be set in PhysicsEditor with the custom phaser exporter.

Use cases:

• Configure collision bits in PhysicsEditor and you want to change them later.
• Place a sensor in your fixture and access this single fixture later (to disable temporarily)
• Create a small body with threes fixtures (circle, circle + polygon/convex). Now you want that the polygon part to behave like rubber and assign a bouncing (restitution > 1) material. Assign a fixture key in PhysicsEditor and access the fixture like this. (see the image for the fixture I described)

"Lyrelle"

The 2.0.1 release of Phaser is mostly a maintenance release. With 2.0 being such a significant upgrade there were bound to be some issues, and this release addresses them. One of the core things a lot of you kept telling us was that you need Arcade Physics to work pretty much exactly as it did in the past. So in 2.0.1 we've taken ArcadePhysics back another iteration, fixed a few of the most common complaints you had with it, and fixed every single physics example as well.

2.0.1 also brings the TypeScript definitions virtually bang up to date, covering P2 and Ninja physics, Arcade updates and more. Our thanks to Clarke for his continued support of these.

There are a few new features as well including a Phaser export script for PhysicsEditor (found in the resources folder), updates to the Particle Emitter and device enhancements. As always if you find a bug that you can confirm with a test case, please report it to us via github. If you think you may have found a bug, but aren't quite sure, please post it to the forum first.

"Aes Sedai"

Phaser 2.0.0 is a major upgrade to the Phaser Game Framework. With significant improvements across the whole library it's our biggest and fastest release yet. Please see the README for full details, the Migration Guide for help porting a 1.x game across and our new Examples repository.
