v6.0.0

Hi everyone,

Version 6.0.0 of MonoGame.Extended is here.

This release has been a long time coming, and it touches some of the oldest and most heavily used parts of the library. The biggest changes in 6.0.0 are a new 2D geometry suite, a fully overhauled 2D collision system, a completely rewritten tilemap system, and an important upgrade to the Entity Component System.

Some of these features started life as separate efforts and grew over time as the design became clearer. Rather than treat them as isolated additions, 6.0.0 brings them together into a more consistent foundation for games that rely on geometry, collisions, worlds, and rendering-heavy content pipelines.

Version 6.0.0-preview.1

MonoGame.Extended 6.0.0-preview.1

I'm excited to share the first preview release of MonoGame.Extended 6.0.0!

This preview introduces the new tilemap system, a format-agnostic API that loads and renders maps from Tiled, LDtk, and Ogmo Editor through a single unified interface. Samples are now available so you can see it in action and try it out in your own projects.

This is a preview, so feedback and bug reports are very welcome.
