    💥 Breaking changes

    • calling ecs_get for a tag will no longer return NULL, but will assert
    • 🚚 statistics module is removed in favor of easier to use statistics addon
    • 🚚 unused table_offset member is removed from iterator

    🗄 Deprecated features

    • 🗄 ecs_entity() macro is now deprecated, use ecs_typeid()

    🔋 Features

    • Direct access addon, which provides fast access to underlying storage
    • ➕ Added singleton API to C++ world class

    • Added ecs_get_typeid function to get the component id for traits
    • The type used for time keeping is now customizable
    • 🆕 New statistics addon for retrieving metrics from running world

    • ➕ Added component enabling/disabling
    • ➕ Added support for sorting on shared components

    👌 Improvements

    • 👌 Improved ecs_delete performance (reduced entity index accesses from 2 to 1)
    • ⚠ C & C++ code compiles warning-free with more warning flags, for more compiler versions & more platforms
    • 👌 Improved error messages when application passes invalid entity id
    • Made include paths relative so source code is easier to integrate with bazel

    • 👌 Improved performance of ecs_get
    • ➕ Add sanitizer & custom builds to CI, remove Travis CI builds
    • Don't add Name component when provided name for entity is NULL
    • 👍 Allow flecs::system instances to be (re)created from entity id
    • ➕ Added godbolt "try online" badge to README
    • 👌 Improve allocation strategy of vector datastructure
    • 👌 Improved performance for checking if entity id is a number
    • ➕ Added missing query functions to C++ API for sorting
    • 👌 Improved performance of table creation by two orders of magnitude
    • ⬇️ Reduced memory footprint of table graph by a factor 60
    • ➕ Added example to demonstrate world merging with direct access API
    • ➕ Added more inline documentation for datastructures
    • ➕ Added assert when trying to instantiate child as instance
    • 👌 Improve errors when invalid operation is invoked on iterator
    • Throw assert when invoking ecs_modified on entity that does not have the component
    • 👍 Allow for type lookups in systems, as long as the type already exists
    • Add return types to ecs_defer_begin and ecs_defer_end to obtain defer status of world
