4.5 Release

4.5 Has just been released with loads of additions, improvements and bug fixes.


Download.
Check the release notes.


Please remember to back-up your projects before upgrading! You can install multiple versions of Unity, here’s how


We’ve introduced a module manager for all mobile add-ons, from now on you will be able to update iOS, Android, Windows Phone 8 Blackberry add-ons without downloading the full editor installer.


Unity Remote 4 has been upgraded, there is no more WiFi latency when playtesting on iOS devices, we’ve also added support for the full range of iOS device inputs including accelerometers, gyroscopes and camera images. This is available for free on the App Store and Google Play.


We’ve massively improved shader importing, it’s now much faster. We’ve added support for Sparse Textures and added stereoscopic rendering on DX 11.1. We’ve also introduced OpenGL ES 3.0 support on iOS devices (starting with A7 devices) Support for 3D textures in OpenGL ES 3.0. Check the release notes for more on this.


There’s new Hierarchy Window sorting where sorting of elements is now based on transform order instead of name. There’s new 2D Joint Gizmos and a 2D physics component; WheelJoint2D.


There also a boat load of bug fixes, if you find some of these bugs aren’t in fact fixed, please report them again.


As always, keep general discussions about this release within this thread. If you encounter issues or need help then post those in the correct forum. ENJOY!

OH MY GOD I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEW GUI!
Seriously, as soon as the new GUI drops, serious development for my next project starts.

By the way what's the chance in the future we'll get an easier way to upgrade Unity versions without having to download a 1gb file everytime? Like maybe an updater that gives you an option to upgrade or just install a new version?

 

wohoo \ /
Going to read every line of the release notes and most likely download it later.
Had a feeling it was going to be released today.
Thanks for the update

 

What happened to the new event system that should have been introduced in preparation of the new GUI?
I can't find anything about the UnityEvent thing in the changelog of the first beta.

Source of quote: http://pastebin.com/2fJd72VE

Was it dropped?

I've come to hate SendMessage, and up to now I had to resort to this
What’s wrong with Unity SendMessage and BroadcastMessage and what to do about it

 

new Docs look good so far. The Drag and drog reordering of the Hierachy is awsome! I demand virtual folders know to make it even more awsome. Good work Unity

 

Downloading... looking forward to test it

 

ohh Bug or feature?

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10920821/Unity-Help/unityBug.jpg

when you rename a go, the old name is still displayed behind it.

 

In the release docs it says:

But when you try and visit that link it says 'page not found'

 

The online docs are still being updated. The link currently points to the old doc set which doesn't have that function. Everything should be in order shortly.

 

Because the 4.5 Documentation isnt online yet. You need to use the Local one that comes with Unity

 

I'm curious on what the new MeshUtility functions does, you can compress mesh data to suck up less memory?

 

Yes! Thank you!

 

Sorry, what Drag´n Drop reordering?
What is the criterium for the new ordering system?
How can I switch back to alphabetical ordering?

 

Sorry, what Drag´n Drop reordering?
What exactly is the "based on transform"- criterium for the new ordering system?

How can I switch back to alphabetical ordering (whats the code for this)?

 

The documentation is in Editor/Data/Documentation/html/en/ScriptReference/BaseHierarchySort.html in your Unity installation directory and will eventually be up online as well as well as online.

To quote the upgrade guide:

 

Looks like a good release. I'm mostly excited about the new Unity Remote The fact that it feeds gyro and camera data is beyond sweet. Cmon, Unity, download faster...

 

The online docs are now available, btw.

 

Installed Unity 4.5, crashes on playing scene.

Shutdown, reboot, create new empty project, press play -

Crashes, every time.

Submitted crash report.

I'm using a late 2012 Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.5.

Please help, I'm f**ked now.

 

Most incredible list of fixes ever.

Also new module manager will help people with rubbish internet potentially help the Sustained Engineering team roll out fixes quicker. An important release.

4.6 is just GUI and that is going really well as far as I can tell, so time to raise the excitement levels to 4.5!

Remember to back up project before installing a new major version of Unity each time

 

Absolutely brilliant work on the docs, you lot! Very nice. Could we possibly have a way to report docs bugs and improvements? what's the process for that since obviously some things fall through the cracks...

 

The bug reporter has always had a "Documentation" option.

 

is there will be a 2D TileMap feature like RPG Maker?

 

I saw there were some WebCam updates. Did MacOSX get the webcam re-enabled or re-written?

There was an issue that was stopping people form submitting to the mac app store if they used the webcam. (however I distribute off of my own website and steam).

Any word on if this is working or if this is coming back again?

 

OMG great list of fixes and updates.

I've released an updated version of Cube Mark with 4.5.

PC - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...cubemark45.zip
Web - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...4.5/Web45.html

I get a cube mark of 54667 on the webplayer version.

It looks like there is a slight improvement in 3D performance but version 4.2 was faster. Cubemark thread.

On my current project just updated it to 4.5 and it was running at 40-60+ fps in 2D and now it is quickly dropping to 20fps. It uses a lot of 2D physics anyone else seeing this?

 

The documentation says that Unity Remote 4 sends gyroscope data to the editor, but a quick tester script shows only (0,0,0,1) from Input.gyro.attitude. Is there something else I have to do to make it send this data? (I am seeing the feed and touch input is received just fine)

 

I was just about to do the Unity Learn 2D tutorial so this is nice update. Now I wonder if I should buy 2D Toolkit? Although I probably will anyway, in case they makes nice extensions to the Unity 2D.

 

I don't believe tk2d makes extensions to Unity2D's features; in fact, it's a completely separate system.

 

thanks for another wonderful FREE release for us to play with!

unity going forward please add md5 on your download page

thanks in advance!

 

Glad you like it!

For the time being, you can still use the bug reporter for errors in the docs. We are currently looking at having a more direct interaction with users about the docs but we haven't decided yet if this will be a forum section, mailing list or something else. With the new-look docs, we also have the ability to make online updates as frequently as we like, at least for the manual; more direct communication should let us get doc errors fixed more quickly without the time and nuisance of filing a bug report.

 

On a Mac Mini (os X 10.7.5 / Core 2 Duo / Intel GMA 950) I get in your web player:

2D: 7633
3D No Colliders: 8227
3D: 4792
Cube Mark: 20652

Those may have been effected if you use assets to downloading via streaming while running because I have DSL am downloading Unity 4.5.

 

Uhg, I don't want 'Answers' style Unity documents if that's what user contribute to docs is.

 

That's great - been waiting for that for ages.

Now, if only 4.5 didn't crash on my Macbook Pro as soon as a scene plays...

 

If it means we have more useful sample code, I do...

 

Great work guys! Just a quick heads up on a small piece of errata from the release notes:

Should be "backed up". Also, unless I missed it I didn't see any mention of the GetEnumerator() returning System.String on iOS bug but I'm pretty sure that was fixed in this release.

 

That's a lot of squashed bugs! :0)

Great work guys, thanks for all your hard work!

 

I go thought the Unity official documents now rather than sort through Answers and the general poor readability of it. Although I'm game if they turn it on off.

Nothing is more ill then a sad news story with a stream of asinine comments underneath it that you can't turn off, not that making a game in Unity is comparable but a lot of that is not appropriate for a professional work place.

Now if they want to include a ranked list of open sourced personal / company projects you upload because you've finished the project and it flopped (or maybe not - id source for old games was traditional).

 

What we have in mind is more about users suggesting changes to the main content of pages (and possibly supplying some of that content) rather than adding notes to the end of the page. You can, of course, do this already with a bug report if you want to but we are hoping for something a bit more streamlined and accessible.

 

Giving users the ability to post comments on the docs is a nice investment to think about.

 

Why is my Norton Antivirus saying that mono.exe has a SONAR.Heuristic.120 virus on this new 4.5 version ?

Specifically: http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2014-011016-0119-99&vid=4294921081&product=Norton%20Internet%20Security&version=21.3.0.12&plang=sym:EN&layouttype=TrialWare&buildname=Retail&heartbeatID=A3DD843C-D8B7-47A1-B74D-5D73F35BA835&env=prod&vendorid=1000170&plid=2&plgid=2&skup=21292817&skum=21292817&skuf=21291108&endpointid=%7BA3DD843C-D8B7-47A1-B74D-5D73F35BA835%7D&partnerid=1000170&lic_type=512&lic_attr=21123089&psn=W8GRRYBFGJ4R&osvers=6.1&oslocale=iso:CZE&oslang=iso:CZE&os=windows


To reproduce: Try to compile anything, Norton Antivirus automatically deletes mono.exe

 

Is it similar to this issue? http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/248288-Unity-4-5-crashing-every-single-time

 

There is a thread started about this, if it's the same thing http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/248291-Unity-4-5-mono-exe-virus-detected-problem

 

I figured out the gyroscope thing, Input.gyro.enabled must be set to true. (Weird, did that change? My gyro camera worked on device previously and I've never set this property)

However, I cannot see how to access the webcam on the device. Looping through the WebCamTexture.devices only gives me the device built in to my desktop. How do I access the on-device cameras? Or is this a bug and I should file a report?

 

Not able to download 4.5 at the moment but just wondering if the bug with Unity wrongly splitting meshes with less than 65535 vertices is still in there, can't see any mention of it being fixed.

 

Just did a quick look at the docs.
Did Unity finally hire a technical writer? :mrgreen:

 

Didn't we decide in your other forum post that that isn't a bug?

(I did look to see if you'd submitted a bug, just in case, but didn't see one from you. If you do have a bug you've reported with your FBX attached, PM me the case number.)

 

Thank you guys!
