<h1>Phaser 1.1.5</h1>
<h1>Phaser 1.1.6</h1>
<p>Phaser is a fast, free and fun open source game framework for making desktop and mobile browser HTML5 games. It uses <a href="https://github.com/GoodBoyDigital/pixi.js/">Pixi.js</a> internally for fast 2D Canvas and WebGL rendering.</p>

<h2>Welcome to Phaser</h2>
<p>This 1.1.5 release is released to address issues in 1.1.4 that we didn't want you to have to wait too long for.</p>
<p>1.1.6 is the final point release before Phaser 2.0 is released this March.</p>
<p>As you may know we had planned to release 1.1.4 at the end of 2013. For various reasons this didn't quite happen, but we're happy to announce it's finally out! There have been some dramatic changes internally, and if you make use of either the physics systems or tilemaps then you are going to need to update your code. Hopefully only a little bit, but there have been a number of core API changes which we detail below. There are also a host of new features, the headliners being:</p>
<ul>
<li>New Physics system. Uses SAT.js internally so physics bodies can now be rectangles, circles or polygons and support rotation.</li>

<p>As always we offer a heart-felt &quot;Thank you!&quot; to everyone who has encouraged us along the way. To those of you who worked with Phaser during its various incarnations. The number of games being released that were made with Phaser is staggering and we really love to see how you use it! You are our heroes. It's your kind words and enthusiasm that has keeps us going.</p>
<p>Phaser is everything we ever wanted from an HTML5 game framework. It powers all of our client work in build today and remains our single most important product, and we've still only just scratched the surface of what we have planned for it.</p>

<h2>Help Test 1.2</h2>
<p>You'll notice a new <a href="https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser/tree/1.2">1.2 branch</a> on github. Please help test out 1.2 as much as you can. It features the brand new Pixi 1.5 internally as well as nearly complete integration with p2.js for all physics (dropping ArcadePhysics entirely). New versions are being pushed several times a day, so be sure to update and pull often. Don't expect to just run old games right under it yet, but please do check out the new tests, experiment and poke it around as much as you can - thank you!</p>
<h2>Help Test 2.0</h2>
<p>Originally we were going to release Phaser 1.2 next, however after working solidly on it for a while we realise it's such a large and API breaking/changing update that we need to ste-up the version to 2.0 to avoid any possible confusion. Progress has been rapid and we'd love for you to help test it. You'll notice a new <a href="https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser/tree/1.2">1.2 branch</a> on github - we're going to keep the branch name as 1.2 as we're nearly at the end of development now, but please understand this is what will actually be the 2.0 release.</p>
<p>Please help test out 1.2/2.0 as much as you can. It features the brand new Pixi 1.5 internally as well as nearly complete integration with p2.js for all physics (dropping ArcadePhysics entirely).

<h2>Getting Started Guides</h2>
<p>We have a new <a href="http://phaser.io/getting-started-js.php">Getting Started Guide</a> which covers all you need to begin developing games with Phaser. From setting up a web server to picking an IDE. If you're new to HTML5 game development, or are coming from another language like AS3, then we recommend starting there.</p>
<p>There is a comprehensive <a href="http://gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com/articles/how-to-learn-the-phaser-html5-game-engine--gamedev-13643">How to Learn Phaser</a> guide on the GameDevTuts+ site which is a great place to learn where to find tutorials, examples and support.</p>

<p>Games created with Phaser require a modern web browser that supports the canvas tag. This includes Internet Explorer 9+, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera. It also works on mobile web browsers including stock Android 2.x browser and above and iOS5 Mobile Safari and above.</p>
<p>For developing with Phaser you can use either a plain-vanilla JavaScript approach or <a href="https://typescript.codeplex.com/">TypeScript</a> using the provided TypeScript definitions file. We made no assumptions about how you like to code your games, and were careful not to impose any form of class/inheritance/structure upon you.</p>

<h2>Road Map</h2>
<p>Here is what's on our road map for the coming months:</p>
<p>Version 1.2 (&quot;Shienar&quot;)</p>
<p>March 2014 will see Phaser 2.0 (&quot;Aes Sedai&quot;) Released. The new features and fixes already implemented are vast, and include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Update to Pixi 1.5 - this newly released build has lots of internal changes and new features we want to take advantage of.</li>
<li>Integration of the p2.js physics system and removal of the old ArcadePhysics. Full body dynamics are go!</li>
<li>Better CocoonJS packaging features (screencanvas, audio checks, etc)</li>
<li>Fixed width bitmap font support, plus enhanced Bitmap font rendering.</li>
<li>Significantly optimised render and update loops. We're seeing significant fps improvements across the board.</li>
<li>Literally hundreds of bug fixes across all core classes.</li>
</ul>
<p>Version 1.3 (&quot;Tarabon&quot;)</p>
<p>Beyond version 2.0 here are some of the features planned for the future:</p>
<p>Version 2.1 (&quot;Shienar&quot;)</p>
<ul>
<li>Enhance the State Management, so you can perform non-destructive State swaps and persistence.</li>
<li>Dedicated CocoonJS packaging features (screencanvas, etc)</li>
<li>A more advanced Particle system, one that can render to a single canvas (rather than spawn hundreds of Sprites), more advanced effects, etc.</li>
<li>Ability to control DOM elements from the core game and layer them into the game.</li>
<li>Touch Gestures.</li>
<li>Support for parallel asset loading.</li>
<li>Fixed width bitmap font support, plus enhanced Bitmap font rendering.</li>
</ul>
<p>Version 2.0 (&quot;Aes Sedai&quot;)</p>
<p>Version 2.2 (&quot;Tarabon&quot;)</p>
<ul>
<li>Integrate p2.js physics system completely.</li>
<li>Comprehensive testing across Firefox OS devices, CocoonJS and Ejecta.</li>
<li>Integration with third party services like Google Play Game Services and Amazon JS SDK.</li>
<li>Flash CC HTML5 export integration.</li>
<li>Massively enhance the audio side of Phaser. Although it does what it does well, it could do with taking more advantage of Web Audio - echo effects, positional sound, etc.</li>
