### [Hanabi]

The [Hanabi] library ([GitHub][hanabi-github], [docs.rs][hanabi-docs]) is a
modern VFX library for the [Bevy Game Engine][bevy]. It focuses on scale to produce
stunning visual effects (VFX) in real time, offloading most of the work to
the GPU (compute shaders), with minimal CPU intervention. The design is inspired
by modern particle systems found in other industry-leading game engines.

This month, [Hanabi] v0.4.0 was released, adding a 3D cone emitter and some
more testing, followed by v0.4.1 providing several bug fixes and support for custom
MSAA settings. Both versions target the latest Bevy 0.8 release.

The internal architecture was also updated to decouple particle spawning and update,
allowing to update over [6 millions particles][hanabi-6m] in real time with close
to zero CPU usage. This new architecture will be available in the upcoming v0.5.0
release as part of the upgrade to the imminent Bevy 0.9 release.
