Phaser CE v2.15.1

New Features

• Phaser.BitmapData#getBase64()
• Phaser.BitmapData#getImage()
• Phaser.Game#maxUpdates
• Phaser.MSPointer#pointerCancelCallback
• There is a new data cache to let you store arbitrary data throughout the game. The new methods are Phaser.Cache#addData(), Phaser.Cache#checkDataKey(), Phaser.Cache#getData(), and Phaser.Cache#removeData(). You can use them from this.cache in a scene or game.cache.
• Phaser.Utils.Debug#gameInfo()

Updates

• Phaser.RenderTexture#getBase64() has type and encoderOptions arguments.
• Phaser.RenderTexture#getImage() has type, encoderOptions, onLoadCallback, and onErrorCallback arguments.
• Phaser.Tilemap#searchTileIndex() has an all argument, returning all matching tiles.

Bug Fixes

• Input pointers are stopped for the 'pointercancel' event. This should prevent lost/frozen pointers after OS gestures (#663).
• Destroying the game during loading does not cause an error when loader completes (#666).

Phaser CE v2.14.0

API Changes

• Looped audio tag sounds no longer dispatch onPlay when looping, only onLoop.
• Looped Web Audio sound markers no longer dispatch onPlay when looping, only onLoop.

New Features

Updates

• A sprite's tintedTexture canvas is now returned to the Canvas Pool when the sprite is destroyed (#651).

Thanks

Phaser CE v2.13.3

Bug Fixes

• Fixed webGL making excessive calls, which was negatively impacting the frame-rate of low-end machines and mobile devices (#356, #641).
• Fixed Web Audio sounds failing to play in certain browsers (#588).
• Fixed Point.fuzzyEquals and Point.fuzzyEqualsXY (#634).
• Fixed unnecessarily marking a texture dirty when its smoothed property was set but not changed (#636).
• Fixed some bad output when cloning FrameData (#640).

Thanks

Phaser CE v2.13.1

Bug Fixes

• Fixed incorrect Sound#currentTime after pause/resume, when using audio tags.
• Fixed missing mouse movement values when the pointer is locked.
• Fixed elastic easing functions.

Thanks

Phaser CE v2.13.0

API Changes

• When using audio tags, Sound#currentTime is now always synced to the audio source. This should prevent timing errors from playback latency (#585). After Sound#play() is called, Sound#isPlaying and Sound#onPlay are still triggered immediately (this is consistent with Sounds using Web Audio), but Sound#currentTime will not advance until playback does.
• When the mouse cursor leaves the game canvas, input out will be triggered only if Mouse#stopOnGameOut is true or MSPointer#stopOnGameOut is true (#429). They are false by default.
• MSPointer#pointerOverCallback replaces MSPointer's use of Mouse#mouseOverCallback.
• MSPointer#pointerOutCallback replaces MSPointer's use of Mouse#mouseOutCallback.
• MSPointer#stopOnGameOut replaces MSPointer's use of Mouse#stopOnGameOut.
• Removed Phaser.Mouse.WHEEL_UP. Use Phaser.MouseWheel.UP instead.
• Removed Phaser.Mouse.WHEEL_DOWN. Use Phaser.MouseWheel.DOWN instead.
• Removed Phaser.Mouse#releasePointerLock. Use Phaser.PointerLock#exit instead.
• Removed Phaser.Mouse#requestPointerLock. Use Phaser.PointerLock#request instead.

If you don't want to worry about managing both input handlers, you can disable MSPointer by passing { mspointer: false } in your game config.

New Features

• Loader#tilemapCSV is a shortcut method for loading CSV maps.
• Loader#tilemapTiledJSON is a shortcut method for loading Tiled JSON maps.

Bug Fixes

• Animation speeds are more accurate (#606).

Thanks

Phaser CE v2.12.1

New Features

• ScaleManager#startFullScreen has an options argument.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed undefined value in BitmapData#smoothed.
• Better tracking of pointer out events (#624).
• Fixed alpha for different Creature regions (#625).

Updates

• Videos now have their playsinline attribute set.
• Added a warning for Tiled JSON maps version > 1.1. Object properties and tile properties in these maps may not work in Phaser CE. You can enable the json1 plugin and reexport the map in Tiled 1.1 format to use these features in Phaser CE (#623).
• Hide navigation UI in fullscreen mode in Chrome/Android (#626)

Thanks

Phaser CE v2.12.0

If you're using the loadAnchors argument in the Phaser.Creature constructor, you'll have to change your code.

New Features / API Changes

• BitmapText has a new property letterSpacing which accepts a positive or negative number to add or reduce spacing between characters.
• Camera now has new properties centerX and centerY to get the center of the camera's current viewport.
• Updated Creature runtime. The Phaser.Creature constructor arguments have changed: the loadAnchors argument was removed and a useFlatData argument was added. Phaser.GameObjectFactory#creature also added arguments (mesh, animation, useFlatData) but its existing arguments weren't changed.
• Phaser.Creature now has new functions setMetaData, enableSkinSwap, disableSkinSwap, setActiveItemSwap, and removeActiveItemSwap adding Skin and Item Swapping support for Creature animations.
• Phaser.Graphics#getVisualBounds is a new method that gets the bounds (extent) of the shapes drawn on a graphics object (#578). Unlike Phaser.Graphics#getBounds, it gives the same result whether or not a graphics object is being used as a mask.
• Phaser.SoundManager#baseLatency is a new property representing the processing latency of the underlying Web Audio context, in seconds.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue causing BitmapFont to fail loading if a kerning value for a character that doesn't exist in the font is defined in the xml/json (#598).
• Fix for Creature runtime modifying the JSON object you give it from the Phaser.Cache making subsequent uses of that JSON not behave in various ways, depending on how you use the runtime (when having multiple Creature objects of the same character for example).
• Phaser.PointerLock#stop will now only stop its event listeners if they were started in the first place. This avoids issues where a 3rd party lib, such as Ionic, intercepts event functions and parses them itself (thanks @photonstorm and manuelhe).
• Fixed an error when destroying a touch-locked Video (#616).
• Fixed an error when unplugging a gamepad (#610).
• Fixed streaming video in Firefox (#607).
• Fixed global volume not affecting sounds not currently playing, when using HTML audio (as in IE11) (#617).

Thanks

Phaser CE v2.11.1

Version 2.11.1 - 2 October 2018

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an error passing box2d options in the game configuration settings (#553).
• Fixed some compressed texture formats failing to load (#562).
• Fixed an issue where if the WebGL renderer failed to initialize that RenderTexture's would still try to use it if no renderer was provided (#575).
• Fixed an inconsistent return value in BitmapData#copy (#580).
• Tweens are now cleaned up completely when destroying the game (#581).
• Game now nulls a reference to itself from PIXI after destroy (#583).
• Fixed a BitmapFont frame error when using trim frame in atlas (#587).
• Fixed BitmapData#shadow ignoring blur or x/y offset when set to 0 (#591).

Updates

• AnimationParser.spriteSheet now tells you the minimum image dimensions it expects if it fails to produce at least one complete frame from the spritesheet (#559).
• Game now checks SoundManager's muteOnPause property whenever the game's paused property is set so one can control whether sounds play when the game is manually paused. Previously, the property was only used when the game focus was lost in the DOM (#572).

TypeScript definitions

• Fixed the definition for bitmapText() in GameObjectFactory (#561).
• Fixed the definition for clear() in RenderTexture (#573).
• Fixed the definition for Video volume.

Documentation

• Changed the game configuration object's canvasID property name. The previous name, canvasId, was incorrect and would be ignored.
• Clarified the spacing argument in Loader#spritesheet (#448, #559).
• Corrected P2#createGearConstraint (#566).
• Corrected Tilemap#copy, Tilemap#replace (#586).
• Typo (#594).
• Corrected Key#upDuration, Keyboard#upDuration (#595).
