tsParticles v1.15.0

Release notes

New features

Interactivity grab mode now has a line color option
Particles and link lines have a warp option, Particles will maintain the same coordinates in out mode and lines will link beyond canvas borders
Particles color now has an animation section like the one on angle, opacity and size. It will animate the particles color.
Added click mode pause to play/pause animations when the click event occurs.
Added triangles options to links to fill the triangles between lines, color and opacity customizable
Added id propery to links to create links between particles with the same id
PolygonMask now has a new property data to work with, where you can specify a string with the SVG to use (well formatted, namespaces included) or an object with paths (array or single string, just the data, not the tag) and size

Changes

Renamed lineLinked in links in particles, interactivity.modes.connect and interactivity.modes.grab, it's still supported the old syntax
Container particles.addParticle now it's an easier method, it has two parameters: position ({ x: 0, y: 0 } for example) and overrideOptions (the same object specified in particles options). This method will add a new particle in that position if not undefined and with that options if not undefined
Fixed a bug with links color used in override options (emitters, custom particles, etc...)
Improved bubble mode interoperability with other modes
Star shape improved with new draw method and another additional option called inset to specify the inset length.
