BREAKING CHANGES

Removed all tsParticles load methods to keep only a single one using a single object parameter
Removed support for shape deprecated properties like shape.image, shape.polygon, shape.stroke
- the stroke property can be found in the particles section, not in the shape object
- the image and polygon properties, like any other shape, are part of the shape.options object
Stroke now is a single object only like all the other particles properties
Removed multiline text shape, the text shape now supports that
Simplified some functions, using objects or removing unused overloads, this is breaking for v2 shapes
Moved some properties to private since they were public by mistake (this shouldn’t affect many, the properties were mainly used in the engine)
Removed obsolete random properties in options objects
Removed emitters shapes from the plugin files, every emitters shape now has a dedicated package

Major Changes

All the components for Front End frameworks were removed from this repository, each one now has its own repository. This is mainly for maintainability. It’s easier to support multiple Front End frameworks versions in a dedicated repository instead of a multipurpose monorepository. Vue.js 2.x and 3.x were kept split because they have many differences.

Removed all presets from this repository for a single one (https://github.com/tsparticles/presets) in the @tsparticles organization, this will make easier to contribute to specific presets or create new ones. (Renaming them to @tsparticles/preset-<name> #3977)
All the previous packages will be deprecated when v3 will come out. Using only the new naming system is the main focus of v3. All the official packages will have @tsparticles/ organization in the package name, replacing tsparticles- prefix, except for tsparticles package which will remain the same.
Moved editor to its own repository: https://github.com/tsparticles/editor
Pjs package now supports all the legacy pjs options only. This will make this package a wrapper for old pjs users. You can’t use tsParticles options in pjs calls.
Pjs package is no longer part of @tsparticles/slim bundle, only included in @tsparticles/all.
Text shape is no longer part of @tsparticles/slim bundle, included in tsparticles.
Emoji shape is now part of @tsparticles/slim bundle.

Bug Fixes

Fixed bug when using particles groups
Fixed pool on particles destroyed by updaters
Fixed out modes, bounce was not checking the direction of the update request
Fixed issue with change theme when an existing canvas is used
Fixed updates on particles destroyed by updaters, that section wasn’t using the memory pool for reusing old particles instead of creating new ones.
Fixed memory leak in destroyed particles by updaters, the z array wasn’t filtered, thanks to @longnguyen2004, closes #5101
Fixed light interaction, particle shadow wasn’t calculated correctly
Improved resize event and density formula
Fixed trails config
Fixed flat output in @tsparticles/confetti
Improved sounds plugin
Fixed position in emitters after respawn

New Features

Added new EventType particleDestroyed
Replaced text shape with emoji shape in @tsparticles/confetti
Reworked @tsparticles/fireworks a bit for better output with the new v3 trails
Added range values to life duration and delay of emitters
Added two new bundles
- @tsparticles/basic: minimum plugins for having circular dots moving in the canvas, common package for all bundles, and presets after this is released. Packages included:
  - @tsparticles/engine
  - @tsparticles/move-base
  - @tsparticles/shape-circle
  - @tsparticles/updater-color
  - @tsparticles/updater-opacity
  - @tsparticles/updater-out-modes
  - @tsparticles/updater-size
- @tsparticles/all: a package that includes all the plugins, it’s not a best practice to use this, but the easiest way for trying every feature available for sure. It will be used mainly in the website.
Added event on config added to the engine
Added flat options to @tsparticles/confetti options
Creating support for effects, like bubble that wasn’t a real shape
Added linear easing
Created new emitters shapes: Canvas, Path and Polygon
Created trail effect plugin, this one is a real trail drawn in the canvas, it works also in transparent backgrounds. It requires more resources since it’s drawn calculating last N positions and not redrawing a semi-transparent canvas on itself, supports also fade.
Added pop click interaction
Added limit mode (breaking changes on limit options)
Added possibility to replace color and opacity for emitters shapes
Added more options for customizing noises values (only Simplex and Perlin paths)
Added curl noise path plugin
Created Simplex and Perlin noise packages from their path plugins, they can be used in multiple packages without duplication (Curl Noise path for example)
Added new emoji shape, better performance than text shape
Added clear flag to the root object, enabled by default, if disabled, the canvas won’t be cleared

= 2.11.0

Bug Fixes

Removed console log, closes #5003
Fixed getPositionOrSize function
Fixed some shapes

New Features

Added refresh flag for loading plugins, this will prevent multiple refresh of the instance
Added animated gif support to image drawer (use it with caution, gifs are heavy)
Added setLogger and getLogger functions, this will prevent console.log mistakenly left in the code.
Added export plugins, previous export functions were removed (barely used), and a 3 new plugins are available. The available exports plugin are: Image, JSON, Video. The first two were already present, the third one is new.
Added new rounded polygon shape

Other Changes

Removed fallbacks for requestAnimationFrame, they’re useless.
Added tree shaking capabilities
Added ESLint no-console rule, to avoid other issues likes #5003, getLogger must be used when needed some logs.

How do `setLogger` and `getLogger` functions work?

If you want to customize the log of tsParticles you can call setLogger(logger) function, passing a ILogger object.

The setLogger function prevents undefined properties assigning the default one.

`ts

setLogger({
debug: console.debug,
error: console.error,
info: console.info,
log: console.log,
verbose: console.log,
warning: console.warn,
});
`

This assigns all the log functions console functions, but you can use empty functions (() => {}) to disable every function.

If there’s a console.log left like in #3552, #3528 or #5003, you can disable the log property of the setLogger parameter to get rid of it, so you don’t have to wait the next release.

The getLogger function, returns the object set using setLogger, every plugin MUST use getLogger() for logging things, so mistakes can be fixed easily, even errors can be muted or redirected to your favorite logging platform.

If you want to log something use this code:

`ts

getLogger().log(“tsParticles is awesome”);
`

Removed all presets from this repository for a single one (https://github.com/tsparticles/presets) in the @tsparticles organization, this will make easier to contribute to specific presets or create new ones.
Added global variables to window object, so they are always accessible
Migrating output to ES2021, it’s widely used and supported

= 2.9.3

Bug Fixes

Fixed some plugins, they weren’t loading correctly the options

= 2.9.2

Bug Fixes

Added missing shapes to confetti bundle
Fixed issue with emitters plugin that spawned an unwanted emitters, fixes #4905

= 2.9.1

Bug Fixes

Fixed missing plugins in wordpress component
Fixed confetti bundle package.json
Fixed confetti.create function in confetti bundle

= 2.9.0

New Features

Creating confetti bundle, easier confetti animations usage. Removed confetti function from the preset, this bundle replaces this feature.
Creating fireworks bundle, easier fireworks animations usage.

Minor Changes

Added version to the Engine object.
Added color and colorOffset properties to split options.
Changed default particles number value to 0, the previous default value was meaningless. You must specify a number now, it’s easier to implement emitters plugin since you can declare just the emitters property without specifying 0 particles. If you need any number, you declare it ignoring the default value.

= 2.8.0

New Features

Reworked move.trail options, created a fill property that is an object with color and image, closes #4882

Bug Fixes

Fixed polygon mask position issues
Fixed polygon mask scaling issues

= 2.7.1

New features

Added loop options to sounds audio values
Added volume buttons to sounds plugin

Other Changes

Moved out some plugin specific code from the engine to the dedicated plugin

2.7.0

Bug Fixes

Fixed issue with animation random size, multiplying again the pixel ratio
Added missing export EventType
Fixed Engine package exports

New Features

Added shape options to circle, added range (min/max object) values to polygon and star shape options
Changed default file for slim and full bundles, using the bundled file
Added support for multiple shape drawers declared at once instead of adding a shape drawer multiple times
Added ranged values in stroke width and opacity properties
Added loops count to color animations
Improved density values, now is 1:1 with number on 1080p resolution with pixel ratio of 1 (this is not a breaking change since nothing breaks, but it changes the behavior of existing values)
Density values now has width/height values instead of area/factor, for compatibility reason width is mapped to area and height to factor.
Created sounds plugin, with mute/unmute icons
Added explosion sounds to fireworks preset

Circle Options

In particle.shape now it’s possible to set another option to the circle shape, angle. The new property accepts a number or a { min: number; max: number } object, when only number it’s going to be { min: 0, max: <value> }.

This creates partial circles starting from min to max, both values must be specified in degrees. If this value is ignored the default value is: { min: 0, max: 360 } (the full circle).

Examples

…
shape: {
type: “circle”,
options: {
circle: {
angle: 180
}
}
}
…
`

This examples creates horizontal half circles

…
shape: {
type: “circle”,
options: {
circle: {
angle: { min: 90, max: 270 }
}
}
}
…
`

This examples creates vertical half circles

Density options

The density options are changed a bit, instead of area/factor values, the width/height values are introduced and mapped respectively. The default values are changed to width 1920 and height 1080, so on a FullHD resolution on device pixel ratio 1 the particles number is the one specified in the options. Since width and height are multiplied together, they can be swapped and nothing changes.

The formula for the density is:

(canvasWidth * canvasHeight) / (densityWidth * densityHeight * devicePixelRatio^2)

Notes on existing configurations

Since many configs had a density.area value of 800, you’ll see less particles, just a few less. If you have also a factor value, you won’t notice any difference. When only area is set, if you want to keep the previous configuration, set factor to 1000. Since the default factor (height) value is 1080 now, the difference should be barely noticeable.

Added localization support

2.5.3

Bug Fixes

Fixed issue with reduce duplicates flag, fixes #4805

2.5.1

Bug Fixes

Fixed issue with ES modules

2.4.0

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.
