v1.8.0
What's Changed 🎊
WebGL
In this release, p5.js added some new WebGL mode tools. Filters now run in shaders for extra speed, and you can now run custom filter shaders, even on 2D canvases. You can now cut holes in shapes with beginContour() and apply vector masks with beginClip(). You can reuse shapes more efficiently with buildGeometry() and instanced rendering. Finally, we have also fixed a number of bugs. - Summary written by @davepagurek ✨
