v3.0.0

Release IME v3.0.0

The next planned release was v2.6.0, however changes made after
v2.5.0 significantly broke backwards compatibility

v2.5.0

Changelog

New Features

• Added a function to query the index/position of a an Animation frame in an animation sequence
• Added an option to alias animation frames using a string

Updates

• A paused timer can now be resumed using the Timer::resume function instead of the Timer::start function. This helps distinguish between a normal start and a resume call
• Added indigo, maroon and silver colours to predefined colours

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Timer::getRemainingDuration returning a negative value instead of 0 when called inside the timeout callback

v2.4.0

Changelog

Update

• Added startMovement function to CyclicGridMover

• Removed all symbols deprecated in v2.3.0
• Removed support for static builds

v2.3.0

Release v2.3.0

Known Issues
