Changelog

All notable changes to this package will be documented in this file.

[11.3.0] - 2023-07-04

Uploader Changes

• Added the option to validate a pre-exported package
• Added the option to export a .unitypackage file without uploading
• Updated the dependency selection UI

Validator Changes

• Added the option to validate several asset paths at once
  • Note: when validating package that is comprised of several folders (e.g. Assets/MyPackage + Assets/StreamingAssets + Assets/WebGLTemplates), please select all applicable paths that would be included in the package
• Added several new validation tests for:
  • File Menu Names
  • Compressed files
  • Model Types
  • Texture Dimensions
  • Particle Systems
  • Normal Map Textures
  • Audio Clipping
  • Path Lengths
  • Script Compilation
• Updated validation test severities based on package category
• Updated validation tests to each have their own test logic class
• Updated validation tests to be displayed in alphabetical order
• Fixed several issues with the namespace check test
• Fixed scenes in Samples~ folders not being taken into account for the sample scene check test
• Other internal changes

Exporter Changes

• Package exporter is now a separate module (similar to Uploader and Validator)
• Fixed hidden folders being included when exporting package content
  • Note: this prevents an issue with the Unity Editor, where exported hidden folders would appear in the Project window as empty folders when imported, despite having content on disk. Content nested within hidden folders is still collected, provided it contains unique .meta files

[11.2.2] - 2023-02-23

Validator Changes

• Updated the 'LOD Setup' test to address some issues
  • Added additional checks for LOD renderers (inactive renderer check, LOD Group reference check, relative hierarchy position to LOD Group check)
  • LOD Group Component is no longer required to be on the root of the Prefab
  • Updated the test result message interface when invalid Prefabs are found

[11.2.1] - 2023-01-17

Uploader Changes

• Added a more informative error when exporting content with clashing guid meta files in hidden folders
• Fixed a compilation issue for Unity 2020.1 and 2020.2
• Fixed a rare error condition when queueing multiple package uploads in quick succession
• Fixed Asset Store Uploader state not being properly reset if the uploading process fails

Validator Changes

• Updated the Asset Store Validator description
• Fixed a rare memory overflow issue when performing package validation

[11.2.0] - 2022-11-03

Uploader Changes

• Uploader will now use the custom package exporter by default
  • An option to use the legacy (native) exporter can be found in the Asset Store Publishing Tools' settings window
• When exporting from the Assets folder, package dependencies can now be selected individually instead of being a choice between 'All' or 'None'
  • This option is only available with the custom exporter
• Changed the way the Uploader reports completed uploading tasks
  • Modal pop-up has been replaced by a new UI view state
  • Added an option to the Asset Store Publishing Tools' Settings to display the pop-up after a completed upload
• Changed exported .unitypackage files to have distinguishable file names
• Fixed the Uploader window indefinitely stalling at 100% upload progress when a response from the Asset Store server is not received
• Fixed native package exporter producing broken packages when the export path contained hidden folders
• Fixed an issue with high CPU usage when uploading packages
• Fixed Asset Store Publishing Tools' settings not being saved between Editor sessions on macOS
• Other minor changes and tweaks

Validator Changes

• Added two new tests:
  • 'Types have namespaces': checks whether scripts and native libraries under the validated path are nested under a namespace
  • 'Consistent line endings': checks whether scripts under the validated path have consistent line endings. This is similar to the warning from the Unity Editor compilation pipeline when a script contains both Windows and UNIX line endings.
• Improved 'Reset Prefabs' test to display and be more informative about prefabs with unusually low transform values
• Improved 'SpeedTree asset inclusion' test to search for '.st' files
• Improved 'Documentation inclusion' test to treat '.md' files as valid documentation files
• Improved 'Lossy audio file inclusion' test to treat '.aif' and '.aiff' files as valid non-lossy audio files
• Improved 'Lossy audio file inclusion' test to search the project for non-lossy variants of existing lossy audio files
• Removed 'Duplicate animation names' test
• Tweaked validation severities for several tests
• Other minor changes and tweaks

[11.1.0] - 2022-09-14

Uploader Changes

• Package Publisher Portal links can now be opened for all packages regardless of package status
• External Dependency Manager can now be selected as a 'Special Folder' if found in the root Assets folder

Validator Changes

• Added category selection for the Validator
  • Categories help determine the outcome of package validation more accurately. For example, documentation is not crucial for art packages, but is required for tooling packages.
• Added a list of prefabs with missing mesh references to 'Meshes have Prefabs' test when the test fails
• Corrected the message for a passing 'Shader compilation errors' test
• Improved the floating point precision accuracy of 'Reset Prefabs' test
• Fixed 'Missing Components in Assets' test checking all project folders instead of only the set path
• Fixed 'Prefabs for meshes' test not checking meshes in certain paths
• Fixed 'Reset Prefabs' test failing because of Prefabs with a Rect Transform Component
• Fixed 'Reset Prefabs' test ignoring Transform rotation
• Fixed test description text overlapping in some cases
• Other minor changes and tweaks

[11.0.2] - 2022-08-09

• Corrected some namespaces which were causing issues when deriving classes from Editor class

[11.0.1] - 2022-08-05

Uploader Changes

• Added workflow and path selection serialization (workflow saved locally, paths locally and online)
• No more logs when using the -nullable compiler option (thanks @alfish)
• Some API refactoring in preparation for CLI support
• Other minor fixes/improvements

Note: when updating Asset Store Tools from the Package Manager, don't forget to remove the old version from the project (V11.0.0) before importing the new one (V11.0.1)

• Added refresh and logout buttons to the bottom toolbar for easier access
• Packages caching - package information will no longer be redownloaded every time you open the Uploader window during the same Editor session
