With this release comes numerous features and fixes, along with a new versioning convention. We've decided to change to Year.Month.Patch versioning to more clearly define each release.

v4.1.0 Additional features and fixes

Some syntaxes and signatures have changed and will likely result in minor fixes if upgrading from an older version.
Main changes include:

• The initializeForUser method is no longer asynchronous and has been removed from ModIOAsync and the callback param removed from ModIOUnity.
• Enable and Disable mods feature added (See ModIOUnity.EnableMod(ModId)), note that this feature only works locally and will not sync across devices.
• GetInstalledModsForUser now has an optional parameter for excluding disabled mods (defaults to true)
• Auto Initialize option added into the config so you no longer need to manually initialize the plugin (Note if you wish to Shutdown and free resources, you will still need to do that manually)
• Added the Mute and Unmute method to ModIOUnity (and async) for supressing specified users.
• Added GetModDependencies() method to ModIOUnity (and async)
• Added a local PDF documentation file inside the plugin folder (modio/Documentation/Full_Documentation.pdf)
• Added an UPGRADING.md guide for additional help transitioning from the old Unity v1 plugin
• Lots of UI improvements and bug fixes

v4.0.8 PlayStation support

In this release we can now officially support PlayStation 4 and 5. If you would like access to the additional files for use with PlayStation please contact us directly, as we can only provide them to authorized developers.

There are also many fixes to the UI, controller support, Translation support and improvements to the underlying plugin.

• PlayStation 4 and 5 support
• Translation support
• UI improvements and optimizations
• Other minor fixes

v4.0.7 Switch Support (and more)

The main feature for this release is the support for Nintendo Switch consoles. If you'd like the additional files for Switch, you'll need to contact the mod.io team directly and show that you are an authorized developer with Nintendo. Among other minor things we have also added functions for Adding and Deleting tags to mod profiles via the plugin, see ModIOUnity.AddTags and ModIOUnity.DeleteTags (And async equivalents). There is also a new method added for convenience called ModIOUnity.GetInstalledModsForUser. This will only give the installed mods for the current user the plugin has been initialized for.

We've also added a delegate in the ModIOBrowser.Broswer class for listening to ModManagement events, for those who would like to use the UI as well as listen to the plugin's events for mod downloads themselves. Refer to ModIOBrowser.Browser.OnModManagementEvent.

We have also dropped the UI support for any version of Unity below 2019.4 as it's not longer in Long Term Support from the Unity Team.

Here are the notable changes in dot point since the previous release:

• Added Nintendo Switch support
• Added AddTags and DeleteTags methods to ModIOUnity and ModIOUnityAsync
• Added ModIOUnity.GetInstalledModsForUser method for convenience
• Added delegate for capturing ModManagement events with the UI Browser
• Fixed an issue with ModIOUnity.GetMods not retrieving custom page sizes
• Improved caching and performance on ModIOUnity.GetMods requests

Various UI bug fixes and better support for controller navigation. The UI code now better supports Addressable implementations of the Browser as well.
The plugin (including the UI) is now supported on Xbox GDK. However, due to the GDK being exclusive to approved developers please contact us directly for the additional files required to fully support an Xbox GameCore build. You can speak to a team member on our discord server: https://discord.gg/nm46CNz88e

Note: It is recommended when using the .unitypackage file to update the plugin, completely remove the plugin first.
