 # CHANGELOG
 
 ## [next]
+ - Use `Offset` type directly in `JoystickAction.update` calculations
  - Changed `parseAnchor` in `examples/widgets` to throw an exception instead of returning null when it cannot parse an anchor name
  - Code improvements and preparing APIs to null-safety
  - BaseComponent removes children marked as shouldRemove during update
