Change Log

0.10.3 (Unreleased)

Changed

  • Loosely couple Node.js / Electron code to Canvas module, and treat its absence like a headless web worker context in the browser (#1103).

0.10.2

Fixed

  • Get published version to work correctly in Bower again.

0.10.1

Fixed

  • Correct a few issues with documentation and NPM publishing that slipped through in the 0.10.0 release.

0.10.0

Preamble

This is a huge release for Paper.js as we aim for a version 1.0.0 release later this year. As of this version, all notable changes are documented in the change-log following common CHANGELOG conventions. Paper.js now also adheres to Semantic Versioning.

There are many items in the changelog (and many more items not in the changelog) so here a high-level overview to frame the long list of changes:

  • Boolean operations have been improved and overhauled for reliability and efficiency. These include the path functions to unite, intersect, subtract, exclude, and divide with another path.

  • There was a large amount of work implementing test coverage under QUnit.

  • Mouse and key handling has been re-engineered and extended to work with view. Many outstanding bugs have been fixed with mouse and key handling.

  • Many SVG-handling enhancements and bug-fixes, including handling browser- specific interpretations of the SVG standard, have been added.

  • There are API name changes for more consistency as well as some required by changes in the EcmaScript 6 standard (e.g., Symbol → SymbolDefinition).

  • Even though it is not new, since version 0.9.22 Paper.js no longer resizes the canvas to match the view. The canvas must be resized independently.

Thank you all for using Paper.js, submitting bugs and ideas, and all those that contribute to the code.

Changed

  • Significant overhaul and improvements of boolean path operations PathItem#unite(), #subtract(), #intersect(), #exclude(), #divide():
    • Improve handling of self-intersecting paths and non-zero fill-rules.
    • Handle operations on identical paths.
    • Improve handling of near-collinear lines.
    • Handle self-intersecting paths that merely "touch" themselves.
    • Handle situations where all encountered intersections are part of overlaps.
  • Methods that accepted a time parameter or boolean second parameter causing the argument to be interpreted as curve-time instead of offset are now separate functions with distinct names (#563):
    • Curve#getNormalAt(time, true) → #getNormalAtTime(true)
    • Curve#divide() → #divideAt(offset) / #divideAtTime(time)
    • Curve#split() → #splitAt(offset) / #splitAtTime(time)
    • Curve#getParameterAt(offset) → #getTimeAt(offset)
    • Curve#getParameterOf(point) → getTimeOf(point)
    • Curve#getPointAt(time, true) → #getPointAtTime(time)
    • Curve#getTangentAt(time, true) → #getTangenttTime(time)
    • Curve#getNormalAt(time, true) → #getNormalAtTime(time)
    • Curve#getCurvatureAt(time, true) → #getCurvatureAtTime(time)
    • CurveLocation#parameter → #time
    • Path#split(offset/location) → #splitAt(offset/location)
  • Significant improvement of reliability of bezier fat-line clipping code in PathItem#getIntersections() and #getCrossings().
  • PathItem#smooth() now accepts an options.type string specifying which smoothing algorithm to use: 'asymmetric' (default), 'continuous', 'catmull-rom', and 'geometric' (#338).
  • PathItem#flatten(): argument has been changed from tolerance (maximum allowed distance between points) to flatness (maximum allowed error) (#618).
  • Update internal Acorn JavaScript parser to 0.5.0, the last small version.
  • Transition to Gulp based build process.
  • Update QUnit to 1.20.0.
  • Update to JSDOM 8.3.0, to benefit from integrated image and canvas support.
  • Complete refactoring of keyboard event handling to increase reliably when handling special keys.
  • Complete refactoring of mouse-event handling on item and view, to better handle event propagation, default behavior and Item#removeOn() calls.
  • Simplify and streamline the mouse-handling code on Tool (#595).
  • Mouse handlers can to return false to call event.stop(), stopping event propagation and prevent the default browser behavior.
  • event.preventDefault() is called by default after any handled mouse mouse events, except 'mousemove', and only on a 'mousedown' event if the view or tool respond to 'mouseup'.
  • Switch to the new HTML5 Page Visibility API when detecting invisible documents and canvases.
  • Rename #windingRule to #fillRule on Item and Style.
  • Do not replace existing named child reference on Item#children with new one when the name is identical.
  • Limit the effects of #strokeScaling to PathItem and Shape (#721).
  • Throw an exception if arguments to #smooth() are segments or curves from incorrect paths.
  • Rename Matrix#concatenate() to #append() and preConcatenate() to #prepend().
  • Make Matrix#shiftless() and #orNullIfIdentity() internal functions.
  • De-bounce internal View#update() calls to minimize the number of times a canvas is redrawn (#830, #925).
  • Symbol now clashes with ES6 definition of Symbol and has been changed (#770):
    • Symbol → SymbolDefinition
    • PlacedSymbol → SymbolItem
    • Symbol#definition → SymbolDefinition#item
    • PlacedSymbol#symbol → SymbolItem#definition
  • Don't serialize deprecated Style#font property.
  • Don't serialize text-styles in non-text items (#934).
  • Changed argument parameter to time for Postscript-style drawing commands.
  • Item#clone(): optional argument is now an options object with defaults {insert: true, deep: true}. insert controls whether the clone is inserted into the project and deep controls whether the item's children are cloned. The previous boolean optional argument is still interpreted as the insert option (#941).
  • Matrix properties #b and #c have been reversed to match common standard.
  • #importSVG(): improve handling of style inheritance for nested <defs>.

Removed

  • Canvas attributes "resize" and "data-paper-resize" no longer cause paper to resize the canvas when the viewport size changes; Additional CSS styles are required since 0.9.22, e.g.:

    /* Scale canvas with resize attribute to full size */
canvas[resize] {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}

  • Legacy Color constructors (removed in 0.9.25): GrayColor, RgbColor, HsbColor, HslColor, and GradientColor. These have been replaced with corresponding forms of the Color constructor.

  • Undocumented function Project#addChild() that added a layer to a project. It is replaced by Project#addLayer() and Project#insertLayer().
