 - Ammo.js collision group and mask supported by impostor parameters ([cedricguillemet](https://github.com/cedricguillemet))
+- `collisionResponse` flag to disable response but still get onCollide events ([cedricguillemet](https://github.com/cedricguillemet))
 - Ammo.js IDL exposed property update and raycast vehicle stablization support ([MackeyK24](https://github.com/MackeyK24))
 - Recast.js plugin nav mesh and crowd agent to ref performance optimizations. ([MackeyK24](https://github.com/MackeyK24))
