    • 🛠 FlxBitmapTextField: fixed graphic "corrupting" after state switches
    • ➕ Added a bitmapLog window to the debugger to view BitmapData, used via FlxG.bitmapLog
    • ➕ Added a way to view the graphics cache via FlxG.bitmapLog.viewCache() or by typing "viewCache" / "vc" into the console

    • 👍 Allowed changing the HTML5-backend (before including flixel: <set name="html5-backend" value="new-backend">)
    • FlxSprite: optimization for less BitmapData creation of simple sprites with blitting. Might require an additional dirty = true; when manipulating the BitmapData directly.
    • FlxCollision.pixelPerfectCheck() now works with bitfive

    April 25, 2014
    • 🛠 FlxKeyboard: fixed function keys being offset by 1 on cpp (F2-F13)
    • 🛠 FlxTilemap: fixed possible crash during collision checks
    • 🛠 FlxG.sound.play(): fixed volume parameter not working

  • v3.3.0 Changes

    April 24, 2014
    • Added flash gamepad support. This either requires a swf-player-version of 11.8 to be set or FLX_NO_GAMEPAD to be defined.
      • FlxGamepad.getAxis() has been split into getXAxis() and getYAxis() for consistency across targets
      • FlxGamepad.dpadUp / Down / Left / Right don't work in flash, use getButton() in conjunction with the IDs in the button ID classes instead
    • ➕ Added "tracker" window to the debugger which creates a Watch window with the most important properties of an object
      • Use FlxG.debugger.track(Object); to create a new tracker window
      • Use FlxG.debugger.addTrackerProfile() to add a profile for classes don't have one yet or override existing ones
      • Use the "track [object]" command to open a tracker window from the console
    • FlxCamera:
      • Added static defaultCameras array which is used by FlxBasics when their cameras array has not been set - previously the use of FlxG.cameras.list / all existing cameras was hardcoded
      • Fixed a bug where following a target would prevent you from setting the coordinates of the camera
    • Added pooling for FlxPoint, FlxVector, and FlxRect. Usage: var point = FlxPoint.get(); /* do stuff with point */ point.put(); // recycle point. FlxPoint.weak() should be used instead of get() when passing points into flixel functions, that way they'll be recycled automatically.
    • 🏁 Debugger windows:
      • Fixed dragging of overlapping windows
      • Fixed the visibility of windows on native targets (now saving correctly)
      • Fixed resizing when moving the mouse to the left / above the window

      • Added maxElapsed
      • Fixed some variables not being reset in resetGame()
      • added FlxG.accelerometer for mobile targets
    • FlxSound:
      • Added loadByteArray()
      • Now has a read-only variable time
      • Allow sound caching on all targets instead of only on Android
      • Added FlxG.sound.soundTrayEnabled to allow dis- and enabling the tray at runtime

    • 🔄 Changed the default html5 backend to openfl-bitfive
      • Middle and right mouse events are now supported

    • FlxText:
      • Added shadowOffset
      • Fixed the widthInc and heightInc of addFilter() which did not work at all previously
      • Separated visible and physical width by adding fieldWidth to fix a bug
      • Added autoSize that makes sure the entire text is displayed if true with wordWrap = false. Setting fieldWidth to 0 in the constructor is now allowed and activates this behaviour.
      • Fixed variation in height of empty texts
    • FlxSpriteUtil: added bound()
    • FlxSpriteGroup:
      • Added FlxTypedSpriteGroup, which can be used in the same way as FlxTypedGroup, but its type parameter is T:FlxSprite
      • Setting cameras will now set cameras on its members, add()-ing a sprite will synchronize the values
    • Abstracted rendering into FLX_RENDER_TILE and FLX_RENDER_BLIT conditionals as opposed to being hardcoded based on the target
    • FlxTween:
      • num(): added an optional tweenFunction parameter which can be used for increased performance (as MultiVarTween and SingleVarTween are fairly slow, using Reflection)
      • singleVar() and multiVar() have been replaced by tween()
      • Removed SfxFader and Fader
    • FlxKeyboard:
      • Implemented a workaround for function and numpad keys not working on native targets
      • Added FlxKey.NUMPADMULTIPLY / "NUMPADMULTIPLY"
      • Added firstPressed(), firstJustPressed() and firstJustReleased()
    • ➕ Added FlxCallbackPoint, a FlxPoint that calls a function when x, y or both are changed.
    • FlxTilemap:
      • Replaced scaleX and scaleY by a scale FlxPoint
      • Removed rayHit(), ray() provides the same functionality
    • ➕ Added FlxDestroyUtil (FlxG.safeDestroy() -> FlxDestroyUtil.destroy())

      • Spit up FlxPreloader into FlxPreloader and FlxPreloaderBase to make it easier to extend
      • Small fix that should prevent it from getting stuck
      • Added siteLockURLIndex to control which URL in allowedURLs is used when the site-lock triggers

  • v3.1.0 Changes

    February 07, 2014
    • 🔨 Refactor of FlxRandom
      • All functions are now deterministic and safe to use with replays
      • Due to the use of a new algorithm for pseudo-random number generation (a linear congruential generator) and a new seed type (integer instead of float values), old replays will have unpredictable results
      • FlxColorUtil.getRandomColor(), FlxArrayUtil.shuffle(), and FlxArrayUtil.getRandom() have been moved to FlxRandom.color(), FlxRandom.shuffleArray(), and FlxRandom.getObject(), respectively. The old functions are still in place but are marked as deprecated.

      • added convenient default values for drawCircle()
      • allow FlxObjects in screenWrap() and screenCenter()
      • now the functions return the sprite / object to allow chaining
      • BUG: fixed null error in alphaMaskFlxSprite()
    • 🔨 FlxTypedButton refactor
      • Callbacks are now set via the FlxButtonEvent objects, for example button.onDown.callback = someFunction;
      • The type of callback has been changed from Dynamic to Void->Void to avoid Reflection. This means you need to bind custom parameters to your callback function like so: callback = someFunction.bind(1); (more info)
      • new labelAlphas and labelOffsets arrays for more control
      • the highlight frame is now disabled by default on mobile
