Intro

This release is all about revamping content management—the backbone of any game. While the previous system worked, it had performance and scalability limitations that we knew needed addressing. We've completely reimagined how content loading works to give you a faster, cleaner, and more intuitive experience.

Hello again!! This release is a good one. 😉

Quick Overview

This release contains changes like a bug fix related to flipping images vertically and horizontally, dependency updates, refactorings, code cleanup, and most importantly, the new stream audio playback feature inherited from CASL.

Hello, and welcome to another CASL release!!

This release has new features, a bug fix, and many breaking changes.

Breaking changes!! Yes, you read that right. We have made some breaking changes to the API in order to make it more consistent and easier to use and to help solidify the public API before the release of version v1.0.0.

Breaking Changes Reminder

Remember, we are in preview!! So, breaking changes are expected and also encouraged. Preview releases are an opportunity to fix any issues and improve the API before the final release. It's better now than in a production release. 😀

We add all the breaking changes to the release notes for every release. So, if you are upgrading, check the CASL Release Notes for any breaking changes. You can also check out the project on GitHub All issues and associated pull requests are labeled, documented, and organized into milestones. It is effortless to find what you are looking for.

So, let's get to it!!
