Phaser v4.0.0 Release Candidate 6

[photonstorm]

New Features

• Texture#setWrap() provides easy access to texture wrap mode in WebGL, which would otherwise be very technical to alter on WebGLTextureWrapper objects. This is probably of most use to shader authors. Thanks @Legend-Master for raising an issue where power-of-two sprites had unexpected wrapping artifacts.
• Phaser.Textures.WrapMode.CLAMP_TO_EDGE is always available.
• Phaser.Textures.WrapMode.REPEAT will only be applied to textures with width and height equal to powers of 2.
• Phaser.Textures.WrapMode.MIRRORED_REPEAT likewise requires powers of 2.
• Added new optional sortByY parameter to the Tilemap createFromObjects method (thanks @saintflow47)

Clarifications

• Clarified that Tilemap.createLayer() with gpu flag enabled only works with orthographic layers, not hexagonal or isometric. Thanks @amirking59!

Updates

• Gamepad buttons initialize as not being pressed, which created a problem when reading Gamepads in one Scene, and then reading them in another Scene. If the player held the button down for even a fraction of a second in the first scene, the second scene would see a bogus Button down event. The Button class now has a new optional isPressed boolean parameter which the Gamepad class uses to resolve this, initializing the current pressed state of the Button (thanks @cryonautlex)

Fixes

• Blend filter parameter texture now correctly documented as string.
• ColorMatrix filter correctly blends input alpha.
• ColorMatrix.desaturate is no longer documented as saturation.
• Container now updates the blend mode it passes to children more accurately, preventing blend modes from leaking from one child into another child's filters. Thanks @leemanhopeter!
• Filters now correctly handles non-central object origins when the object is flipped. Thanks @ChrisCPI!
• Glow filter acts consistently when knockout is active.
• Grid shape now sets stroke correctly from optional initialization parameters, at 1px wide. (Use Grid#setStrokeStyle() to customize it further.) Thanks @Grimshad!
• Mask filter now correctly resizes and clears when the game resizes to an odd width or height, fixing a bug where masks might overdraw themselves over time. Thanks @leemanhopeter!
• ParallelFilters filter memory leak eliminated (this would occur when both passes had active filters).
• TilemapGPULayer now respects camera translation. Thanks @aroman!
• Fixed a crash in TweenBuilder when the targets array contains null or undefined elements (thanks @aomsir)
• The Loader GetURL function did not treat file:// URLs as absolute. When a baseURL is set, it gets prepended to an already-absolute path, producing double-prefixed URLs (thanks @aomsir)
• Fixed a bug where multiple Timeline events with once set to true would silently break the timeline and prevent all future events from firing. Fix Timeline Events set to once break timeline #7147 (thanks @TomorrowToday)
