  • Added two new blending modes MIN and MAX. (WebGL 2.0)
  • Entity and GraphNode now accepts first argument as name of a node. (thanks for PR #845 by @aiab_animech)
  • Improved example in README.md to be full html file code.
  • Updated README.md and CONTRIB.md to mention “good first PR” label for new contributors.
