[4.0.0] - 2023-07-02

"Going Bold"

After almost a year of no public updates (the dev branch was bustling), the release of 4.0.0 comes with significant changes and a continued effort to improve unit test coverage and discoverability. The package remains tested against 2020.3 and 2021.3; however, we strongly recommend transitioning to 2022.3 or newer to unlock additional functionality.

Added

  • GDX.Experimental namespace to encapsulate code and features actively being iterated until they meet the shipping bar.
  • New toggle added to Project Settings -> GDX -> Environment, ensuring that GDX shaders included are always included in a build. This encompasses the shaders necessary to draw the DebugDraw commands (Experimental).
  • TaskDirector to assist with TaskBase based scheduling of the thread pool, configurable in GDX project preferences.
  • EditorTaskDirectorSystem and TaskDirectorSystem to automatically tick the TaskDirector in appropriate modes.
  • Boilerplate in PlayerLoopSystemExtensions to make modifying the PlayerLoop much simpler.
  • Compact() added to SimpleList utilizing a properly sized version of the backing array.
  • FirstIndexOf() and LastIndexOf() methods added to ArrayExtensions constrained to IEquatable for easier string comparison.
  • FirstIndexOf(), FirstIndexOfItem(), FirstIndexOfValue(), LastIndexOf(), LastIndexOfItem(), LastIndexOfValue() methods added to SimpleListExtensions.
  • Contains() to SimpleListExtensions constrained to IEquatable.
  • WaitFor program flow helper.
  • AssetDatabaseReference weak-reference objects with helpers.
  • EditorPrefsCache to cache editor preference accessing.

"Clean Slate"

As we began planning what this release might look like, the decision was made to attempt to clear out a significant portion of our technical debt by sunsetting unsupported versions of Unity. We also took this opportunity to reevaluate and upgrade portions of the framework to better position it for future growth.

Added

  • Dependencies on com.unity.mathematics, com.unity.burst, com.unity.jobs and com.unity.collections packages.
  • Support for com.unity.runtime.dots (UNITY_DOTSRUNTIME) builds. Unsupported functionality will cause compilation errors during builds for immediate feedback on unsupported usage.

  • BuildInfoProvider now uses a TextGenerator for codegen.
  • Platform::GetOutputFolder() supports being overridden via command-line argument GDX_OUTPUT_FOLDER.
