• Tiled: now properly support Point geometry if defined in a map

Changed

• Core: replaced internal reference to the deprecated trim[Left/Right] methods by their trim[Start/End] equivalents

• Tiled: add support for the new class property (note: melonJS will still set the deprecated type one for backward compatibility)
• Renderer: Canvas rendering mode can now be forced by adding [#/&]canvas to the URL (similarly with WebGL1/2 already)
• Vector: new moveTowards() method for [Observable]Vector2d/3d objects (limited to x and y axis for 3d vectors)

• Game: refactoring of the global game into an instantiable Application object, with game now being the default instance of it (@see #1091)
• Loader: onload and onerror callbacks are now optionals when directly loading assets (easier with base64 encoded assets)
• Physic: World physic implementation is now properly tight to its corresponding parent application/game (@see #1091)
• Physic: Gravity is now properly applied as a force, instead of directly modifying a body velocity
• Physic: Gravity now properly takes in account the body mass
• Physic: resulting force is now properly cancelled at the end of an update cycle (not required anymore to manually set it to 0 in user code)

Fixed

• Loader: fix loading/preloading of base64 audio assets, and base64 encoded FontFace
• Renderer: fix a regression with the masking features in the Canvas Rendering mode
