2.4.0

What's Changed in v2.4.0

✨ New Features

• Burst Emission Support - Added burst emission functionality for creating instantaneous particle effects. This allows particles to be emitted in bursts at specific times rather than continuously. (bca557b)

• Individual Update Method - Added individual update method to particle systems, allowing more granular control over when and how each particle system is updated. (d30cef4)

⚡ Performance Improvements

• Reduced GC Pressure - Optimized updateParticleSystemInstance to reduce garbage collection pressure, improving performance in scenarios with many active particles. (91607aa)

• Optimized Array Allocations - Optimized createParticleSystem array allocations for better memory efficiency during particle system creation. (c0dd899)

🔧 Other Changes

• Fixed Prettier formatting issues (7be7380)
