▲.● matter.js 0.18.0

Release notes for 0.18.0. See the release readme for further information.

Highlights ✺

• Up to ~40% performance improvement (on average measured over all examples, in Node on a Mac Air M1)
• Replaces Matter.Grid with a faster and more efficient broadphase in Matter.Detector
• Reduced memory usage and garbage collection
• Resolves issues in Matter.SAT related to collision reuse
• Removes performance issues from Matter.Grid
• Improved collision accuracy
• Improved API and docs for collision modules
• Improved documentation pages
• Added note about avoiding Webpack performance problems

Changes ✲

See the release compare page and the changelog for a detailed list of changes.

Migration ⌲

• Behaviour and similarity is in practice the same (a fractional difference from improved accuracy)
• API is the same other than:
  • Matter.Detector replaces Matter.Grid (which is now deprecated but will remain for a short term)
  • render.options.showBroadphase is deprecated (no longer implemented)
  • Matter.SAT is renamed Matter.Collision
  • Matter.SAT.collides is now Matter.Collision.collides with a slightly different set of arguments
