# 1.6.1

## aframe-ar.js

- aframe-ar.js - `<a-marker>` elements will emit `markerFound` and `markerLost` events - thanks @nikolaymihaylov! Pull Request [#303](https://github.com/jeromeetienne/AR.js/pull/303)

## Demos

- Created [an example](https://jeromeetienne.github.io/AR.js/aframe/examples/marker-events.html) that demonstrates emitting events when markers are found and lost, and registering the respective event listeners.

# 1.6.0

- implemented patternRatio in aframe/three.js - a way to reduce the ugly black border
  - aka something to make the pattern marker border thinner
  - change (generator.html)[https://jeromeetienne.github.io/AR.js/three.js/examples/marker-training/examples/generator.html] to support patternRatio
  - added examples in [aframe](https://jeromeetienne.github.io/AR.js/aframe/examples/default-thinner-border.html) and [three.js](https://jeromeetienne.github.io/AR.js/three.js/examples/default-thinner-border.html)

# 0.9.0 - Initial Release

I worked a lot on WebAR.
But i recently reached [60fps on mobile phones](https://twitter.com/jerome_etienne/status/831333879810236421).
so i think WebAR is now ready to be released :)

I will keep the usual branch model

- stable release on master branch
- current release on dev branch
- features in progress on their own branch
