    Please help us to vote here. 9 Slice for spites is so fundamental feature that it can be released independently on the whole 2D feature set. Thank you for voting.

    I agree with you, it's been "complete" since 2015 as far as the betas go. However there's probably a good reason (collision? bounds?) that integrate with the rest of the 2D system that's holding it back. Looking forward to it when it's good and ready to be in normal Unity.

    Btw, we are not making 1-big-version-with-everything-in-it. As soon as any of these features are ready, it will go.

    Hi Paul, may be some small road map similar to your Unity road map but just 2D features?

    In my project 9-sliced sprites, and a few of the newer 2d features are practically essential and there are quite a few things I can't finish without them. Any estimation when they are going to be released? Are we going to have to wait all the way until unity 5.5 for this to be a thing? Any responses would be very appreciated.

    So basically is this gonna be a thing in a matter of a few months months or next year?

    Sorry to say, but it will not be in 5.5 since that is feature complete right now and planned to be released soonish. Adding features late in the beta is not good practice.

    Any other scheduling info is for the 2D team to comment on.

    Thanks Schubkraft. Yeah I haven't really had the time to look at the beta so I didn't know. Unfortunately looks like we're not getting these features anytime in the next few months as I'd hoped. I'd probably like a better estimate on the release date before I decide what to do, but guess I'll probably have no choice but to code a substitute component instead and wait until then.
