aframe-core
merged withaframe
.window.AFRAME
exposes whataframe-core
was exposing previously (e.g.,AFRAME.registerComponent
vs.AFRAME.aframeCore.registerComponent
). (#368)<a-assets>
must be declared within<a-scene>
. (#910)<a-entity>.object3D
is now aTHREE.Group
. Use<a-entity>.setObject3D
API to add new 3D objects from components. (#847)- Bumped three.js to r74 stable. (#1006)
- npm points to a prebuilt bundle of
dist/aframe.js
. - Scene
<canvas>
elements are now appended to the scene by default rather than to the document body. The scene can specify which<canvas>
to render to. (c0aa360) - Primitives such as
<a-sphere>
directly extend<a-entity>
rather than template them. They can be registered withAFRAME.registerPrimitive
. (#883) <a-template>
and HTML Imports logic have been removed. Use https://github.com/ngokevin/aframe-template-component in the meantime. (#883)<a-camera>
no longer creates a cursor on its own. Do<a-camera><a-cursor></a-cursor></a-camera>
instead. (#883)- Default geometry
depth
,height
,width
property values changed from2
to1
. (#1245) - Default color of primitive elements such as
<a-box>

loader
component deprecated in favor ofcollada-model
andobj-model
. (#913)<a-model>
deprecated in favor of<a-collada-model>
and<a-obj-model>
. (#883)<a-EVENTNAME>

deprecated in favor of<a-event name="EVENTNAME">
(unstable). (#883)<a-cube>
deprecated in favor of<a-box>
. (#883)
- Introduced shaders to extend the material component and to register custom GLSL shaders. (#861)
- Component property types. Property types define how a component property is parsed and stringified. Custom property types can be registered or defined inline with the property in the schema. Built-in property types include
array
,boolean
,color
,int
,number
,selector
,selectorAll
,string
,vec2
,vec3
,vec4
