5.4 public or 5.3.2 date?

Hey just curious if there were any solid dates on either of those versions. I've supported some of the new API changes but don't want to require users to get the patches to be error free; so I figured I would wait for the next public non-patch version to be public before I submit an update to the Asset Store.

Any soft dates when these are expected to land would help me plan things out and respond to users.

Thanks

 

5.4 beta is arguably public in a lot of respects, but the roadmap does aim us for GDC....

The roll up releases are not quite as clearly defined, so I can't offer you a specific point for that.

 

Thanks, I might have to shift some stuff around then.

 

Thanks, Any news on 5.3.2 though?

 

Yea, I was hoping/expecting it on about the 18th ... being held back on creating a new build to roll out to beta testers until 5.3.2; it's been quite some time since I've been able to send them an update. Due to regressions 5.1.4 was the last version of Unity working for my game, 5.3.1p1 (patch 1) is the first one working since then but am holding out on upgrading our build servers until 5.3.2. Unfortunately it's been 2 months since the game's needed > 5.1 so that means it's been 2 months since I've sent out an update. Ah well, these are my own problems ... just frustrating and I was hoping 5.3.2 would hit around the 18th of January - I'm hoping to tag 5.3.2 as the final Unity version for this game - and the engine version it'll first release with.

 

May I just ask if it'll be "days" or "weeks" for 5.3.2? Or is this information internal and/or private?

 

Should be any "day" now.

 

are there any performance improvements in 5.3.2 or 5.3.1p4 that you may know of?

 

well overall better performance, across the board , or is that something thats coming in 5.4?

 

I'm looking forward to a fix for this one:
(Case 761024) 5.3/5.4: Rendering performance regression / issue

 

Agree with this one

 

I can't wait for this one
737832 Crash with UI button

 

Tried out 5.3.1p4 today, standalone builds of my game lockup-hang all over the place, nothing in the logs, almost like the engine's hitting an infinite loop somewhere. went back to 5.3.1p1 ... giving up on ever getting a stable release of Unity.

 

going to try it out as well, and verify this....

 

works for me, try running standalone in development mode.......

 

Dear Aras:
May I just ask if it'll be "days" or "weeks" for UI Image compnent to use ETC 1 ?

 

Will 5.3.2 fix the "!IsFinite(outDistanceForSort)" errors related to particles and Camera.Render() function (e.g. used in Reflections script for Water4)?

Also when is the release date ?

 

Is 5.4 downloadable without a Pro license ?

 

sadly its not....should be , because thats more people testing it

 

Any news on the status of 5.3.2?

 

My prediction is 5.3.2f1 is released on Feb 2.

 

Seems like it was released today.

Great, i hope ot solves the !IsFinite issue with reflection and particles, will download asap

 

I see! Well, I'm happy to be wrong in this case.

 

You need to download 5.3.2patch1 that just came out to fix that I think

 

5.3.2patch1 still spamming that error , the problem is

5.3.2patch1 still spamming that error , the problem is you cant use Debug.Log proper with this shi.....
the only radical and sure solution atm is turning of particles , a working but mad workaround...

 

I exclude them from reflections in my case (or rather include only specific items for reflection with layers so particles are excluded indirectly) and thus can limit the error, but of course this is a temporary workaround than a solution

Thanks for leting us know the problem is still there, i just saved hours of downloading on my slow connection

 

So, looking at the bug, it's a case of projects deleting the UI default shader.
The fix is to check to avoid letting that happen, but you should probably add back the needed shader appropriately.

 

So, this is wandering off topic of 5.4. Locking.
