## pixi.js 8

### Breaking changes

- Mirrored matrices now decompose into a real rotation, zero skew and a negative scale.x; the same change applies to setFromMatrix() and child reparenting/replacement methods. (8.21.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.21.0)
- Replaces StructsAndGroups.isUniform and also describes storage buffers; the old property now reads undefined rather than throwing. (8.20.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.20.0)
- Particles now inherit tint and alpha from ancestor render groups, so remove any manual compensation for the previous behavior. (8.20.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.20.0)
- Hit testing now matches the drawn stroke, including its alignment and winding. (8.20.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.20.0)
- Identical rectangles and rectangles flush against the right or bottom edge now count as contained. (8.20.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.20.0)
- WebGPU now handles clockwiseFrontFace as a winding; WGSL front_facing branches may take the opposite branch, while culling is unchanged. (8.20.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.20.0)
- Zero values for scaleX and scaleY are now applied literally instead of being coerced to 1, matching scale.set(0, 0). (8.19.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.19.0)
- Adds a textureSpace option, defaulting to 'global'; patterns tile continuously across adjacent shapes, and local radial gradients scale to the gradient's outer radius. (8.19.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.19.0)
- The supplied matrix is now applied directly rather than inverted and rescaled by the texture size. (8.19.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.19.0)
- With word wrapping and non-left alignment, Text, HTMLText, and BitmapText now report the rendered string width instead of wordWrapWidth; use wordWrapWidth directly if you need the configured wrapping width. (8.18.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.18.0)
- BitmapFont character keys now use character strings instead of character codes. (8.17.1) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.17.1)
- xAdvance now uses true advance width from measureText() instead of bounding-box width. (8.17.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.17.0)
- BlurFilter now uses an optimized halving strength scheme by default, changing visual output; set legacy to true to restore the old behavior. (8.17.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.17.0)
- Drop shadow blur and distance now scale proportionally to font size. (8.17.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.17.0)
- breakWords: true now uses CSS word-break: break-word instead of break-all, matching other text renderers. (8.17.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.17.0)
- For align: 'justify', width calculation now uses wordWrapWidth instead of maxLineWidth, and the last line is no longer stretched. (8.17.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.17.0)
- Creating SplitText from an existing Text now transfers its anchor by mapping the anchor to pivot coordinates, changing layout and positioning. (8.16.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.16.0)
- SplitText more accurately splits Text across a wider range of TextStyle configurations, which may slightly change character positioning. (8.16.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.16.0)
- A unified garbage-collection system replaces the separate texture and renderable garbage-collection systems. (8.15.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs/releases/tag/v8.15.0)

### Deprecations
