changelog

This file contains highlights of what changes on each version of the StageXL package. This file is normally updated whenever we push a new version to pub.

Pub version 0.9.0

• Added WebGL renderer (opt-in with Stage constructor).
• Added fallback to Canvas renderer.
• Added texture atlas optimizations.
• BREAKING CHANGE: Simplified Stage constructor
• BREAKING CHANGE: Simplified BitmapFilter.apply method

This version contains major changes in the internal render code. The WebGL renderer is highly optimized to draw textures (BitmapDatas) but does not support vector graphics yet. If you want to draw Graphics display objects please use the applyCache method which renders the vector graphics to a texture or do not opt-in for the WebGL renderer.
