It has been almost a year since we released the last tagged version of the CreateJS libraries (EaselJS 0.7.1 and friends) – so we are excited to discuss the next version, which we will be tagging on December 12th, 2014. Over the last 6 months, the entire suite has been getting some major updates – including lots of changes to EaselJS, and a big rewrite to SoundJS and PreloadJS – but we feel that the core changes are ready to become an official release.

This release contains updates for all of the libraries, including:

• EaselJS 0.8.0
• TweenJS 0.6.0
• SoundJS 0.6.0
• PreloadJS 0.6.0

Some of the updates have already been covered in recent posts:

• New Class Architecture in CreateJS
• WebGL support in EaselJS
• SoundJS Audio Sprite support

The full list of what is new is huge, so we will be covering some of the more important updates here over the next 2 weeks. If you are impatient, check out the VERSIONS.txt in each GitHub repository to see a full list (note that some libraries are using re-architecture branches at the time of writing), or download the NEXT versions of each library to start using the new features immediately.

Thanks to our awesome community for helping us wrap up this big release. Keep those feature requests, issue reports, and feedback coming!
