Phaser 3 Change Log

Version 3.51.0 - Emilia - 5th January 2021

New Features

• WebGLRenderer.isTextureClean is a new boolean property that tracks of all of the multi-textures are in a clean 'default' state, to avoid lots of gl texture binds and activations during a Scene restart or destruction process.
• GameObject.removePostPipeline would previously only remove a single pipeline instance. Calling the method with a class will now clear all instances of the pipeline class from the Game Object (thanks @rexrainbow)

Updates

• Layer.destroy will now call destroy on all of its children as well.
• The Layer Game Object has been given all of the missing properties and methods from Game Object to make the class shapes identical. This includes the properties parentContainer, tabIndex, input and body. You cannot set any of these properties, they are ignored by the Layer itself. It also includes the methods: setInteractive, disableInteractive and removeInteractive. A Layer cannot be enabled for input or have a physics body. Fix #5459 (thanks @PhaserEditor2D)
• Layer.getIndexList is a new method, taken from the Game Object, that will return the index of the Layer in the display list, factoring in any parents.

Bug Fixes

• On some keyboards it was possible for the keyup event to not fire because it was filtered out by the Keyboard Plugin repeat key check. Fix #5472 (thanks @cjw6k)
• Fixed issue causing Cannot read property 'pipelines' of null to be thrown if using 3.50 with the HEADLESS renderer. Fix #5468 (thanks @Grenagar)
• Canvas Tilemap Rendering is now working again. Fix #5480 (thanks @marshmn)
• Layer.destroy will now emit the DESTROY event at the start of the method. Fix #5466 (thanks @samme)
• The error RENDER WARNING: there is no texture bound to the unit ... would be thrown when trying to restart a Scene. When a Scene is shutdown is will now reset the WebGL Texture cache. Fix #5464 (thanks @ffx0s)
• The error RENDER WARNING: there is no texture bound to the unit ... would be thrown when destroying a Text Game Object, or any Game Object that uses its own custom texture. Destroying such an object will now reset the WebGL Texture cache. Fix #5464 (thanks @mark-rushakoff)
• When using an asset pack with a prefix, and loading a Spine file, the prefix was being appended twice causing the texture to fail loading. It's now appended correctly (thanks @jdcook)
