- Stencils are a new feature in Easel that allow limiting camera rendering to specific shapes, enabling effects like scene transitions, fog of war, stylized borders, and search and reveal.
- TextSprites now have new parameters for styling (bold, italic), sizing (fontSize in em units), and alignment (align, vAlign), improving text display and performance.
- The physics engine has been upgraded to a newer version of Rapier, improving performance by 25% and automatically including new colliders in spatial queries.
- Easel's rollback netcode for multiplayer games now has a dedicated page explaining its implementation, allowing immediate response to player inputs before reaching others.
