Major improvements

The big news is that GameJs now supports Web Workers! Think of a Worker as a separate GameJs application with which you can communicate via messages. The benefit is that code running in a Worker will not slow down your rendering code. Checkout the new example as well as the extensive docs on the new gamejs/worker module.

In other news: tiled maps produced by the excellent, general purposed map editor Tiled can now be loaded with the new gamejs/tmx module. There’s a new GameJs example “tmxmap” to get you started!

Other changes

new utility modules: gamejs/xml gamejs/uri and gamejs/base64
A lot of small fixes happened, which probably won’t effect your code.
