Release Scrawl-canvas v8.15.0 · KaliedaRik/Scrawl-canvas

Fixing the scaled positioning bug affecting Oval, Rectangle and Tetragon entitys means that these entitys now act correctly when scaled. Canvas scenes previously created with workarounds for the issue will need to be updated
Tighten up the checks around which DOM elements can become SC Stacks, and which ones can become SC Elements. This may break existing Stack-based projects.
Deprecate and remove the stack.apply, canvas.apply and element.apply functions, replacing them with new stack.reset and canvas.reset functions.
VideoAsset object around wrapping media streams - the factory api for creating these asset wrappers has changed.

Artefact group attribute will now accept a Cell object as a value
New Loom attribute sourceExpansionFactor to help solve poor display of distorted images
Added functionality to allow the scaling of entity shadows (similar to scaling line widths), controled by a new flag attribute scaleShadow
Added a new splitShift function to allow for the movement of Cell edge strips from one side of the Cell to the other. Should help to make it easier to build animated tiling and infinite scroll scenes
New Cell functions - getCellData, paintCellData - that supply the user with a capture of the Cell engine's imageData, alongside a new pixelState object which gives each pixel some state
Allow Group objects to remove controlled DOM artefacts from the web page
New <canvas> element data-will-read-frequently boolean attribute
Cell pixelState now includes full polar coordinate (from canvas center) data
New filters: alpha-to-luminance, luminance-to-alpha
New functionality to help developers initialize DOM form control elements
VideoAsset can now handle audio-only stream sources

Security - updated dev dependency packages to latest version
Documentation - started writing some higher level overview docs of the library's philosophy and its code base's practicalities (early work-in-progress)
Typescript annotations in the test demo files
Cleaned up factory/group.js file, removing unused code
Improvements (and a minor bugfix) to the blur and gaussianblur filters - which now have their own Demo tests.
Cleared out the DOM-related CSS checks for Stack, Canvas and Element artefacts - there's no need for this sort of functionality in SC now. Instead we introduce a short list of CSS properties which dev-users cannot update using SC set({ css: {key: value} }) functionality.
Updated test demo DOM-003 to share a better example of how to wrap SVG elements into an SC Stack.
Ripped out all code relating to the CSS smoothFont property - which is not part of the Web standards.
Updated the Element kill function to accept a boolean argument which, when set to false, will not remove the associated DOM element from the document.
Removed redundant code, relating to cloning functions, from SC clone functionality across the repo.
Small Tween and Ticker performance improvements
New demos for offset, offsetChannels filters
Draft a Runbook for the library (incomplete)
Update documentation to accommodate the new Runbook
Add an LLM summary .md file to the repo
Updates to the .d.ts file

Small Vector bug fixed
Fixed issue where entity GCO and filters were interfering with each other, preventing the display of entitys on non-base Cells
Fixed a scaled positioning issue for Oval, Rectangle and Tetragon entitys
Fixed a dynamic radius positioning issue for Star and Cog entitys
The gaussianblur filter was spreading beyond its entity's shape. This has been fixed in a non-breaking way so the errant functionality remains the default.
Unnecessary mixins were being added to mixin/dom.js - these have been moved to factory/canvas.js where they are needed. Bug was not breaking functionality in any way.
Fixed the (long neglected) Element stampOrder bug.
Fix bugs associated with prefers-contrast functionality
Deprecate and remove the Ticker object makeTickerUpdateEvent code
Fix bug where user positions an artefact wrt an undefined artefact
Fix artefact removeClasses bug
Fix Tween and Action object target setting functionality
Fix other minor Ticker and Tween object bugs
Fix filter engine image upload bug
Fix tiny EnhancedLabel space calculation bug
Deprecate and remove RenderAnimation object .error function hook
Fix VideoAsset object streaming bugs
Fix Group object ordering bug
