tsParticles 2.4.0 Changelog

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.
