tsParticles 2.4.0 Changelog

New Features

Added reset method to updaters, this method will be called after a particle loses a life.

Created the motion plugin for handling motion sickness, I moved this feature from the engine to a plugin since I prefer to have it more customizable. Everyone now can create their own motion sickness plugin, instead of having a standard behavior for everyone

Added mutation observer to avoid style changes to the canvas when the fullScreen option is enabled (default behavior)

Moved all easing functions to plugin packages, slim now depends on easing-quad since it's the default value used in repulse and attract

Added support for multiline text in canvas mask text options, separator and spacing are customizable values

Added aria-hidden="true" to canvas element, fixes #4785

Removed all canvas context save/restore calls, this should be a huge improvement to general performances

Added the particles pool for reusing destroyed particles, every tsParticles instance will have its own pool

Changed collision absorb code, added absorb.speed option to collisions section

Added delay to root options, fixes #4766

Bug Fixes

Fixed infection plugin

Fixed issue with polygon mask when particles bounce on the polygon edges

Fixed issue with rgb(), hsl() and hsv() values in color option values

Other Changes

Refactored plugins to avoid passing options in init functions since it's no more necessary

Removed initAsync function from plugins, standard init is now async for all plugins

Removed polygon mask plugin from the tsparticles package, this is a breaking change only for those that are using it. Since it's a heavy plugin and not so much used, I have preferred removing it from the tsparticles package.

Changed tsconfig target from es6 to es2019 (less transpilation to a reasonable target). The compatibility is still very high, reducing the bundle size.
