Question about v5.1.5 to v6 changes

[soylomass]

Hi, I'm using Pixi.js v5.1.5 with legacy support in https://deeeep.io, I noticed there's a new v6 version. Is it recommended to update in my case? Are there any breaking changes? I use Typescript if it matters.

 

Thanks in advance.

There are no big breaking changes like there were between v4 and v5.

There are breaking things for typescript, we changed the way we do typings. There are also changes in rendering between 5.1 5.2 and 5.3. If you try to update - im here to help.

Which plugins do you use?

@ivan.popelyshev Thanks! I use the following plugins (except pixi-tween):

 

Most importantly, will upgrading to v6 improve performance? If so, then it's a must ?

Well, you have to update pixi-layers to latest, and it will spawn deprecation warnings anyway. Its not yet migrated to new plugin format , but it works

Also, probably update viewport. 5.2  5.3 and 6.0 have serious changes for it, i dont know whether it was re-published already for latest v6 features. Theoretically, on v6, viewport should be much faster
