1.3.8

[1.3.8] - 2019-11-04

• Properly suppressing a harmless "Unknown error in AsyncOperation" that has been popping up during init. It had to do with not finding a cached catalog before a catalog had been cached (so error shouldn't happen).
• Fixed issue with asset hash calcluation for internal asset bundle name when building bundles.
• Adding option "Unique Bundle IDs" to the General section of the AddressableAssetSettings Inspector.
  • If set, every content build (original or update) will result in asset bundles with more complex internal names. This may result in more bundles being rebuilt, but safer mid-run updates. See docs for more info.
  • This complex internal naming was added to 1.3.3 to support safter Content Catalog updating, but was forced on. It is now optional as there are some drawbacks.

[1.3.5] - 2019-11-01

• Added documentation about updating Content Catalog at runtime (outside Init). Uses CheckForCatalogUpdates() and UpdateCatalogs().

1.3.3

[1.3.3] - 2019-10-21

• UI and naming changes
  • "Static true or false" content is now content with an "Update Restriction" of "Cannot Change Post Release" or "Can Change Post Release"
  • "Fast Mode" (play mode) has been renamed "Use Asset Database (faster)"
  • "Virtual Mode" (play mode) has been renamed "Simulate Groups (advanced)"
  • "Packed Mode" (play mode) has been renamed "Use Existing Build (requires built groups)"
  • There is no longer a current "Build Script" (Build Script menu in Addressables window). Instead the script is selected when triggering the build.
  • Schemas have been given display names to be more clear of their intent BundledAssetGroupSchema.
    • BundledAssetGroupSchema displays as "Content Packing & Loading"
      • ContentUpdateGroupSchema displays as "Content Update Restriction"
    • Bundle and Asset providers within schema settings are named more descriptively
  • Profile management is in its own window ("Profiles")
  • Label management is in its own window
  • "Prepare for Content Update" is now under the "Tools" menu (in Addressables window), and is called "Check for Content Update Restriction"
  • "Build for Content Update" is "Update a Previous Build" (still in "Build" menu of Addressables window).
  • "Profiler" window has been renamed "Event Viewer". It's more accurate, and avoids confusion with "Profilers" window.
• Added additional parameter to AssetReference.LoadSceneAsync method to match Addressables.LoadSceneAsync API
• Added AssetReference.UnloadScene API
• Fixed issue with WebGL builds where re-loading the page was causing an exception to get thrown.
• Fixed Analyze bug where bundle referenced multiple times was flagged as duplicate.
• Fixed issue with hashing dependencies that led to frequent "INCORRECT HASH: the same hash (hashCode) for different dependency lists:" errors.
• Update AddressableAssetEntry cached path to new modified asset entry paths.
• Storing the KeyData string from ContentCatalogData on disk instead of keeping it in memory as it can get quite large.
• Fixed Custom Hosting Service window so it won't close when focus is lost.
• Fixed issue with AudioMixerGroups not getting the proper runtime type conversion for the build.
• Fixed invalid location load path when using "only hash" bundle naming option in 'content packing and loading' schema.
• Removed content update hash from final AssetBundle filename.
• Removed exception in Analyze that was triggering when "Fix Selected Rules" was bundling in Un-fixable rules.
• (SBP) Fixed an edge case where Optimize Mesh would not apply to all meshes in the build.
• (SBP) Fixed an edge case where Global Usage was not being updated with latest values from Graphics Settings.
• (SBP) Fixed Scene Bundles not rebuilding when included prefab changes.

1.2.4

[1.2.4] - 2019-09-13

• Further improvement to the % complete calculations.
  • Note that this is an average of dependency operations. Meaning a LoadAssetsAsync call will average the download, and the loading progress. DownloadDependenciesAsync currently has one extra op, so the download will crawl to 50%, then jump to done (we will look into removing that). Similarly any op that is called before Addressables init's will jump to 50% once init is done.

1.2.3

[1.2.3] - 2019-09-10

• Actually "Made ContentUpdateScript.GatherModifiedEntries public."

1.2.2

[1.2.2] - 2019-09-09

• Made ContentUpdateScript.GatherModifiedEntries public.
• Added sub-object support to AssetReference. For example, you can now have an AssetReference to a specific sprite within a sprite atlas.
• Added sub-object support to addresses via [] notation. For example, sprite atlas "myAtlas", would support loading that atlas via that address, or a sprite via "myAtlas[mySprite]"
• Fixed issue with Content Update workflow. Assets that don't change groups during Content Update now remain in the same bundle.
• Added funtionality to allow multiple diagnostic callbacks to the ResourceManager.
  • Added error and IResourceLocation to the callback.
• Added default parameter to DownloadDependenciesAsync to allow auto releasing of the the operation handle on completion.
• Added memory management documentation.
• Changed OnlyHash naming option to remove folder structure. This is a workaround to Windows long-file-path issues.
• Made AssetReference interfaces virtual
• Fixed hash calculations to avoid collisions
• Fixed Addressables sprite tests
• Added overload for GetDownloadSizeAsync. The overload accepts a list of keys and calculates their total download size.

1.1.10

[1.1.10] - 2019-08-28

• Fix for all files showing "Missing File" in the addressables window.
• Fix for waiting on a successfully done Task

1.1.9

[1.1.9] - 2019-08-22

• Fixed drag and drop NullRef in main addressables window.
• Fixed AudioMixer type assets getting stripped from bundles.
• Fixed issue where failed async operations weren't getting released from the async operation cache.
• Fix unloading of scenes so that the dependencies will wait for the unload operation to complete before unloading. This was causing an occasional 1-frame visual glitch during unload.
• Fixed scenario where AsyncOperation Task fails to complete when AsyncOperation has already completed.
• Fixed a missed init-log that was stuck always-logging.
• Fixed issue around assets losing dependencies when unloaded then reloaded. This would manifest most often as sprites losing their texture or prefabs losing their shader/material/texture.
• Changed checks for determining if a path is remote or not from looking for "://" to looking for starting with "http". "://" is still used to determine if the asset should be loaded via UnityWebRequest or not.
• Added Analyze Rule to show entire Asset Bundle layout
• Added progress bars and some optimizations for calculating analyze rules
• Fixed sprite sheet loading syntax LoadAssetAsync<Sprite[]>("sprite").
  • Note that this syntax requires an engine fix that is in 2019.3.0a10 and will be backported to 2019.2 and 2018.4.

1.1.7

[1.1.7] - 2019-07-30

• Fixed chain operation percent complete calculation.
• Fixed scenario where deleting assets would also delete groups that have similar names.
• Fix in bundle caching bug surrounding bundles with '.' in their name
• Significant improvements to the manual pages
• Made the many init-logs not log unless ADDRESSABLES_LOG_ALL is defined in player settings (other logs always worked this way, init didn't).
• Prevented NullReferenceException when attempting to delete entries in the Addressables window.
• Fix for building by label (Bundle Mode = Pack Together By Label)
• Removed ability to mark editor-only assets as addressable in GUI
• Better fix to Editor types being added to the build
• Made BuiltIn Data group read-only by default.
• Fixed NullRef caused by an invalid (BuildIn Data) group being default during a build.
• Fixed path where LoadResourceLocationsAsync could still throw an exception with unknown key. Now it should not, and is a safe way to check for valid keys.
  • If Key does not exist but nothing else goes wrong, it will return an empty list and Success state.
• Fixed NullRef caused when there was a deleted scene in the scenes list.
• BuildCompression for Addressables can now be driven from the default group. If necessary WebGL builds will fallback to LZ4Runtime and all other build targets will fallback to LZMA.
• Added options for bundle naming: AppendHash, NoHash, OnlyHash.
  • As a temporary workaround for updating issues, we recommend setting all groups with StaticContent=true to be NoHash. This will make sure the updated catalog still refers to the correct unchanged bundle. An actual fix will be out in a few releases.

1.1.5

[1.1.5] - 2019-07-15

• Fixed scenario where scene unload destroys instantiated objects in different scenes.
• Cleaned up SetDirty logic to remove excessive dirtying of assets.

1.1.4-preview

[1.1.4-preview] - 2019-06-19

• Fixed an issue where Editor only types were being added to the build.
