2D Toolkit 2.5 beta 1
« on: April 28, 2014, 10:38:19 pm »
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
  • 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

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

New Unity 4.5 with lots of bugfixes and changes. Maybe you can make good use of some:

Nothing, from what I have seen 4.6 UI uses a completely different renderer system that isn't compatible with normal mesh renderers.

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 :)
