Guys,

I am sending you this message with a heavy heart. My ex-colleague and team member and contributor to this and many other open source repos - Adi Reddy Mora has sadly passed away yesterday. This came very suddenly. He left behind his wife and two young children.

Hi @GaryTsang, I've been so shocked when I learned his passing! He was a really nice guy... :(

I've used many times this repository for different projects. It's an awesome library, and I don't want it to be forgotten & unused. Adi pushed so many efforts in it!

Would like to be added as a contributor for merging PR and push out new version! cc @GoodBoyDigital

It is so sad that he gave what little time he had to help everyone. I am sorry for your loss Gary, and I hope his wife and kids keep strong. It really hits home the fragility of life and I am ignorant of that every day.

@GoodBoyDigital & @bigtimebuddy would be nice to add @notboring to this official repository since he made a fork up to date! https://github.com/notboring/pixi-haxe

@GoodBoyDigital & @bigtimebuddy please can you chime in here.

[bigtimebuddy]

I have added @notboring as a maintainer to this repo.

[GoodBoyDigital]

Hey all, apologies for not jumping on this sooner. I get so many github pixi emails, sometimes they slip through my net. Thanks for adding him as a maintainer @bigtimebuddy. He was a super friendly dude, always very helpful on the the repo. He is missed.

Thank you for the invite. I'll be submitting my changes into the official reposity asap. Might take a few days though, since I am chasing deadlines at the moment.

@notboring That's wonderful news! Question, do you by accident have pixi.js 5 externs?
I did some changes in my fork too, feel free to pick some from there if you want https://github.com/markknol/pixi-haxe/commits/dev

[notboring]

I commited the changes from my fork to the dev branch and made a pixijs 5 issue.

Sorry for the long delay, I had to get my projects straight after a forced multi week break. Things are mostly on track now, so I should be able to look at pixi 5 and haxe 4 issues next week.

@markknol The commits from your fork have always been part of my fork, so they are part of dev branch now. Thanks.
