Blog » Ejecta 1.2

The Ejecta github project is still full steam ahead. This 1.2 release again brings a whole bunch of bugfixes, moves the Canvas implementation closer to the spec and adds some missing features. Notably, this release brings support for ctx.clip() for the Canvas element. The only missing Canvas features are now gradients, shadows and patterns.

Thanks again to everyone who contributed and reported bugs!
