Release Notes

New Features

• Manual Particles (closes #839)
• Links and Triangles frequency (closes #691)
• Mouse hover can act as a light source (closes #606)
• Particles duplicates can be reduced (closes #437)
• Options have now a dedicated GUI editor library (closes #534)
• Theming options (closes #646)
• Added support to HSV colors (closes #692)
• OutMode can be configured for every canvas edge (closes #739)
• Bounce interaction mode; divs and mouse hover have this mode (closes #774)
• Particles can have a max radius to move inside (closes #797)
• Particles movement can be affected by the size, the higher the size, the higher the speed
• Particles movement has now gravity options
• Particles can have a custom life span and a life count, like the emitter options
• Particles can now configure bounces on canvas edge and for particles collisions

Bug Fixes

• Single exported options type, used by all components (closes #898)
• Fixed click bubble mode (closes #618)

Breaking Changes

• Color animation with sync false in 1.17.0 used a random color instead of a random speed. This is fixed in 1.18.0 but you need to use the random value in color and not sync: false to achieve the same effect.
