PixiJS v8.12.0 is out, and it brings with it the results of our first-ever Bug Hunt Month.

Throughout July, we put our focus entirely on bugs, fixing them, triaging them, closing stale ones, and adding bounties for critical ones. The result? One of our most productive maintenance months to date:

• 45 bugs fixed
• 250+ issues closed
• Dozens of triaged and clarified issues
• Several bounties assigned and paid out

A big thank-you to everyone who helped report, debug, test, or fix problems during the month. We had several new contributors jump in and make meaningful improvements to the engine.

Let's take a look at what's changed in this release.

Today we are releasing PixiJS Layout v3, a complete rebuild of the library from the ground up. This new version offers a powerful, web-standard way to manage layout inside PixiJS projects, powered by the Yoga layout engine.

More than just a rewrite, v3 represents a major leap forward: it brings true flexbox layout principles to the PixiJS ecosystem, opening up PixiJS to web developers who are used to CSS-style layouts. Whether you are creating a game UI, a dynamic canvas app, or a full interactive experience, you can now use the layout patterns you already know — flex-grow, justify-content, align-items, and more.

In addition, PixiJS Layout v3 integrates seamlessly with PixiJS React, enabling React developers to compose and manage PixiJS UIs with a familiar declarative workflow. Whether you are working in plain PixiJS or combining it with React, layout is now easier, more intuitive, and more powerful.
