 # Changelog
 
+## 0.11.0
+
+**Performance**
+
+- **A piece with many layers builds in a fraction of the time.** Every layer now builds its animation in a small timeline of its own, which is added to its parent once finished. Adding thousands of tweens one by one to a single GSAP timeline made GSAP re-measure the whole timeline at every add, so the cost grew with the square of the count: the 700-layer `hanabi-night` took 3.2 s to build with two 1.3–1.6 s freezes of the page, and now takes 0.5 s with none above 170 ms. Positions stay absolute, so every frame is the same.
+- **A shared loader.** `pixi-effects/loader.css` (shipped as `dist/loader.css`) and one line of HTML, `<div class="pe-loader" data-label="LOADING"></div>` next to the canvas: a ring, `--pulse` (a breathing dot) or `--bar` (a sweeping line), or `--custom` for a drawing of your own, restyled with `--pe-loader-color` / `-bg` / `-track` / `-size`. It is HTML and CSS, so it is on screen before any script runs, and it animates only `transform` and `opacity`, which the browser runs off the main thread, so it keeps moving while the page builds the piece. `movie.init()` finds it, fades it out when the movie is ready and, if init fails, stops it and says so (`init({ loader })` names another element or turns it off). Every gallery piece has one (`hanabi-night` has a rocket of its own on the shared frame), `ai/template.html` has one, and the guide's player page says how to use it.
+
+**Changed**
+
+- The gallery pieces `orbit-rig` and `shape-shift` were redesigned as pieces first and feature showcases second: an orrery plate in ivory and brass ("Orrery") and a Bauhaus poster in motion ("Form Follows"). Same ids, so existing links keep working.
+
+**Added**
+
+- A gallery piece that uses particles and motion blur (`hanabi-night`: a fireworks festival title card, 36 pieces now), with its demo in the guide.
+- **Motion blur.** `movie.init({ motionBlur: true })` (or a sample count, or `{ samples, shutter }`, or the same option on one `render()`, `snapshot()` or `contactSheet()`) exposes every frame over a shutter interval: the frame is drawn several times at moments around its time and averaged, so fast motion smears like on film. It applies to what is made (the export, snapshots, contact sheets, so `pixi-effects-check` shows what the file will have), not to live playback. `pixi-effects-render --motion-blur 8 --shutter 0.5` sets it for one file.
+- **`particles()`**: bursts, fountains, snow, confetti and sparks as plain layers. Every particle has its own seeded start, launch angle and speed, size, colour and life, and a path baked into keyframes (gravity, wind, drag, sway), so playback, seeking and export agree. `emit` spreads births over time, `fade` / `scale` shape the life, `shape` is `circle` / `rect` / `star` or any `template` layer, `blendMode: 'add'` makes overlaps glow.
+
+**Fixed**
+
+- **The last frame of an export was empty.** The final frame sits at the exact end of the movie, where every layer's lifespan has just closed, so a layer that lasts to the end vanished in it (the exported video, and the last cell of a contact sheet, ended on a blank frame). That frame is now drawn a hair before the end, so the final composition stays on screen.
+
+## 0.10.0
+
+**Added**
+
+- **Seeded randomness.** Expressions gain `rand(seed)` (0…1) and `noise(x, seed)` (smooth, −1…1), plus `lerp`, `clamp`, `smoothstep`, `mod`, `step` (the way to write an "if") and `PI`. For plain JS, `random(seed)` returns a repeatable stream. The same seed always gives the same picture, in playback, seeking and export.
+- **Null layers and `parent`.** `{ type: 'null', name: 'rig' }` draws nothing and only moves; layers with `parent: 'rig'` are drawn inside it and follow its position, rotation, scale and alpha (orbits, clock hands, a whole group fading). Nulls chain; a child's `x` / `y` are measured from the null's origin. A wrong parent (unknown name, not a null, a cycle, a `threeD` layer) warns and the layer is drawn without one.
+- **`stagger()`**: delays for a wave of items, GSAP style (`each` or `amount`, `from: 'start' | 'end' | 'center' | 'edges' | 'random' | index`, `grid: [cols, rows]`, `ease`, seeded `random`). `stagger(8, { each: 0.08 })` returns the delays; `stagger(layers, …)` returns the layers with `at` pushed back.
+- A gallery piece for the path and text tools (`shape-shift`, 35 pieces now: morphing outlines, a comet on a loop, a title that arrives letter by letter), with the demo in the guide.
+- A guide page on these four (`Motion: groups, waves and randomness`, with tested recipes) and a gallery piece that uses all of them (`orbit-rig`, 34 pieces now).
+- **Click the picture to play / pause** in the `Controller` (a tap on a phone too), like a `<video>`; the pointer cursor shows it. A tap that only closes the export popover does not also toggle. `new Controller(movie, { canvas, clickToPlay: false })` turns it off.
+- **`animateText()`**: per-character, per-word or per-line text animation in one call (`...animateText('Hello', style, { x, y, align, at, duration, in: 'rise', out: 'fade', stagger: { each: 0.05, from: 'center' }, idle: { y: 4 } })`). One text layer per piece laid out like the whole text, entering and leaving in a wave; presets `rise drop fade pop zoom slide spin` or your own `from` / `to`; an optional seeded idle drift; a clear error when `duration` is too short for the wave.
+- **`followPath()`**: a layer travelling along an SVG path as keyframes (`keyframes: followPath({ d, duration, ease, orient: true, frameRate: 30 })`), by arc length so the speed is even, one sample per frame, with optional heading (`orient` / `rotate`) that never jumps by a turn, and `from` / `to` fractions.
+- **Path morphing.** A `shape: 'path'` with `morphTo` (another SVG path) and an animatable `morph` (0 → 1) turns into the other outline: closed outlines are lined up so they do not twist, sub-paths are paired in order, fill, stroke and a trim follow, and the ends are drawn exactly as the paths.
+- **`wiggle()`**: a seeded shake or drift as keyframes (`keyframes: [...wiggle({ duration: 6, props: { x: { around: 'GW/2', amp: 6 } } })]`); every property moves on its own and ends back at its resting value.

 ## Workflow
 
-1. **Start from `template.html`** (copy it; it loads the library from a CDN, collects every console warning into `window.__logs`, and exposes `window.movie`). One HTML file, plain JS. Default canvas 1280×720 @ 30 fps.
+1. **Start from `template.html`** (copy it; it also has the shared loader (`<div class="pe-loader" data-label="LOADING">` + `pixi-effects/loader.css`: HTML and CSS only, animating just `transform` / `opacity`, so it keeps moving while the page builds the video; `movie.init()` fades it out). Keep it; a loader of your own is fine (`pe-loader--custom`) as long as it only animates `transform` / `opacity`, never with JavaScript or `requestAnimationFrame`; it loads the library from a CDN, collects every console warning into `window.__logs`, and exposes `window.movie`). One HTML file, plain JS. Default canvas 1280×720 @ 30 fps.
 2. **Give the movie a poster time.** In `movie.init` add `poster: <seconds>`: the most striking moment (a title fully on screen, not the first frame, which is often black). The canvas shows that picture before play (the playhead stays at 0 and play starts from 0), and the check writes it as `poster.jpg`.
 3. **Write the composition as data.** Anything repeated (letters, bars, particles, scenes) is a JS function or loop that returns specs — never copy-paste objects. Derive coordinates and times from constants/data, not magic numbers.
 4. **Show the human:** `node ai/tools/view.mjs my-video.html` opens their browser on the page with a scrubbable, zoomable timeline under it (click / drag to seek, + / − or Ctrl/⌘ + wheel to zoom) (`npx pixi-effects-view …` in an installed package); it keeps running until Ctrl-C. **Deliver the file:** `node ai/tools/render.mjs my-video.html -o my-video.mp4` (`npx pixi-effects-render …` in an installed package) renders the page headless to mp4 / webm / mov / mkv and exits 0 only when the file is written; run it AFTER the check below passes. **Run the check — one command does steps 3, 4 and the export:** `node ai/tools/check.mjs my-video.html` (Node ≥ 22 and Chrome installed; no npm install; in an installed package it is `npx pixi-effects-check my-video.html`). It starts its own private Chrome (nothing is shared with other sessions), waits for `window.__ready`, and writes `timeline.html` (every layer as a bar on a time axis: ◆ keyframes, shaded transitions; hand it to the human to open) and prints: console warnings, `movie.inspect` over the WHOLE timeline (grouped), `movie.inspectAudio()`, then exports an mp4 and decodes it again (video size and length, audio length, loudness per second, silence). It writes `check-out/<name>/sheet.png` — **open that picture and look at it** — plus the mp4 and `report.json`. Exit 0 = nothing to fix; exit 1 = a list of problems; fix them and run it again. Text that overlaps text is listed under `review` (not a failure: ghost layers, glow copies and per-letter boxes are often intentional; look at the sheet; `--strict` makes them fail).

 - **Sound effects need no files:** `{ type: 'audio', sfx: 'swoosh', at: 2 }` — presets `click pop swoosh swipe hit riser chime beep coin glitch typewriter`; knobs `pitch`, `brightness`, `seed`. The layer lasts as long as the sound (`duration` stretches it); a `riser` is loudest at its end (`at = hit − duration`), a `swoosh` 0.16 s in. A music file shorter than its layer goes silent — `loop: true`.

-- **Built in:** `splitText()` / `measureText()` (per-letter / per-word layers, exact positions), `shape: 'arc'` (progress rings, pie / donut slices: animate `endAngle`), `fillGradient` (linear/radial, alpha stops → vignettes), `{value}` counters, `repeat`/`yoyo`, `orbit()`. **Not in the DSL (hand-roll, recipes exist or loops are easy):** stroke draw-on (trim path), text that changes over time (other than `{value}`), other per-frame curves and jitter, per-letter text animators (one layer per letter), particle emitters, group/parent layers.
+- **Group / parent layers = `{ type: 'null', name: 'rig' }`** (draws nothing, only moves) + `parent: 'rig'` on the layers that should follow it: their `x`/`y` are then measured from the null's origin, and the null's position / rotation / scale / alpha carry them (orbits, clock hands, grouped fades). Nulls chain. Only `null` layers can be parents; not for `threeD` layers.

(Draw-on strokes `trimEnd`, text that changes over time `set: { text }` / `visibleChars`, shake `wiggle()` and particles are built in.)
 - **Blend modes:** `blendMode: 'add' | 'screen' | 'multiply'` on any layer (glows, light leaks).
 - **One `Movie` per page.** A sound effect needs no `duration` (it lasts as long as its clip). Seeking is safe: counters, colours and growing shapes are right after any jump.

Fading a group that has overlapping children therefore shows the overlap; fade the children themselves, or keep overlapping parts out of the group. Expressions have no way to read a sibling's size: measure text with `canvas.measureText` (the font string Pixi uses) and compute pill widths in JS. *(docs)*
