Please read the migration guide before updating. 2D Toolkit 2.x is not API compatible with 1.x.
http://unikronsoftware.com/2dtoolkit/docs/2.4/migration_guide.html
Documentation available at:
http://unikronsoftware.com/2dtoolkit/docs/2.5
Be sure to run "Setup for JavaScript" after importing if you're using JavaScript/UnityScript or Boo.
What's new
- Linked sprite collections - allows creating parallel atlases for normal maps, etc. that match the layout of the base atlas. Docs here (http://2dtoolkit.com/docs/2.5/advanced/linked_sprite_collections.html)
- Basic post build sprite collection callback, tk2dSpriteCollectionBuilder.OnPostBuildSpriteCollection to be notified when a sprite collection is built. More options will be available in the next beta.
Bug fixes and improvements
- Fixed bug with tk2dUITextInput when with platform specific fonts.
- Dont complain about null fonts that dont need material instances.
- tk2dTextMesh can now be resized in the viewport when word wrap is enabled.
- MarkDynamic on dynamic meshes
-
very nice!

Thanks for the linked sprite collections. That's going to be supremely useful.

I am crashing on android after this update, was there any changes to shaders? When rolling back, my sprite sheet embedded font went pink, reapplied a missing shader now it plays on the android device. fyi.

HI dear,
how to download 2D Toolkit ?

Hi!
What's your plans on Unity 4.6 UI system?
-
Nothing, from what I have seen 4.6 UI uses a completely different renderer system that isn't compatible with normal mesh renderers.
-
Will this release work in Unity 4.6 beta?
-
2.4 and 2.5 work fine in 4.6 as far as I can tell. The Create > tk2d > sprite menu is not visible in the hierarchy window (I've filed a bug report to Unity), but the options are still available in the gameobject > create other menu.

Hi Unikron,
I have noticed that this beta has been up for a while now. Is the final release due or is this beta seen as stable enough for use?
Thanks :)
-
Its stable, I guess? No major complaints so far and as you say its been up for a while :)
