ECS Queries can now take additional options to filter in/out by components or tags.
![```typescript
const query = new Query({
// all fields are optional
components: {
all: [ComponentA, ComponentB] as const, // important for type safety!
any: [ComponentC, ComponentD] as const, // important for type safety!
not: [ComponentE]
},
tags: {
all: ['tagA', 'tagB'],
any: ['tagC', 'tagD'],
not: ['tagE']
}
})
// previous constructor type still works and is shorthand for components.all
new Query([ComponentA, ComponentB] as const)
```](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xvtgxjmootxod3r2lanjhuuy/bafkreifopmeknezbx7v6zmplshttajqgv6ijm4dhljupwgco4zkp24uswi@jpeg)

SoundManager can manage groups of audio clips volume at once, great for background music, sound effects, and more!
![```typescript
import * as ex from 'excalibur'
const soundManager = new ex.SoundManger({
channels: ['fx', 'music', 'background'],
sounds: {
jumpSnd: { sound: jumpSnd, volume: 0.4, channels: ['fx'] },
forestSnd: { sound: forestSnd, volume: 0.2, channels: ['music', 'background'] },
challengeMusic: { sound: challengeMusic, volume: 0.2, channels: ['music'] },
guitarLoop: { sound: guitarLoop, volume: 0.2, channels: ['music'] }
}
});
// play a specific sound
soundManager.play('jumpSnd');
// mute a specific channel with all member sounds
soundManager.channel.mute('music');
// mute all sound
soundManager.mute();
// unmute all sound that was previously muted, and resume playing from the current location
soundManager.unmute();
// unmute a specific channel that was muted
soundManager.channel.unmute('music');
// play a specific channel
soundManager.channel.play('music');
// set the max volume of an entire channel
soundManager.channel.setVolume('music', 0.9);
