Entitas 0.36.0

0.36.0

See and discuss changes in Milestone 0.36.0

Note

Entitas will be type-safe and will add support for the planned DSL in future versions. This will be a big breaking change. This release contains a few breaking changes with the DSL and type-safety in mind to make the transition easier.

Note 2

The question came up whether to update or not. I didn't want to delay a release even more and later ship a giant version with too many big breaking changes. I wanted to split up the work into multiple versions. Early adopters can already play with the new features and APIs and give feedback. The planned DSL version will most likely make some of the necessary manual migration work obsolete. I suggest waiting with updating if you're in production.
