11.4.2

Validator Changes

Check for nested .unitypackage files in the demo scene validation
Prevent normal map test from erroring when misc importer types are detected
Remove Templates category from the uncompressed images requirement list

11.4.1

Validator Changes

Minor optimizations

Other

Miscellaneous internal changes

Exporter Changes

Fixed an issue with bundled plugin folder contents not being exported

11.4.0

Uploader Changes

Added prevention of uploading packages larger than 6 GB
Added a prompt to allow automatically generating meta files within hidden folders
Fixed some obsolete API usage warnings in newer Unity versions

Validator Changes

Added validation tests for:

Animation Clip take names
Model import logs
Uncompressed Package size

Updated the fail severity of Audio Clipping validation test
Updated the Demo Scene test to treat default scenes with custom skyboxes as valid demo scenes
Fixed some obsolete API usage warnings in newer Unity versions

Other

Added an option to check for Asset Store Publishing Tools updates

11.3.1

Uploader Changes

Added the option to select indirect package dependencies from the project (e.g. Mathematics package installed by the Burst package)

Validator Changes

Updated the Texture Dimensions test to ignore 'Sprite' and 'Editor GUI' texture types

Exporter Changes

Updated exporter to ignore the 'ProjectSettings/ProjectVersion.txt' asset when exporting 'Complete Project' category packages

11.3.0

Uploader Changes

Added the option to validate a pre-exported package
Added the option to export a .unitypackage file without uploading
Updated the dependency selection UI

Validator Changes

Added the option to validate several asset paths at once

Note: when validating package that is comprised of several folders (e.g. Assets/MyPackage + Assets/StreamingAssets + Assets/WebGLTemplates), please select all applicable paths that would be included in the package

Added several new validation tests for:

File Menu Names
Compressed files
Model Types
Texture Dimensions
Particle Systems
Normal Map Textures
Audio Clipping
Path Lengths
Script Compilation

Updated validation test severities based on package category
Updated validation tests to each have their own test logic class
Updated validation tests to be displayed in alphabetical order
Fixed several issues with the namespace check test
Fixed scenes in Samples~ folders not being taken into account for the sample scene check test
Other internal changes

Exporter Changes

Package exporter is now a separate module (similar to Uploader and Validator)
Fixed hidden folders being included when exporting package content

Note: this prevents an issue with the Unity Editor, where exported hidden folders would appear in the Project window as empty folders when imported, despite having content on disk. Content nested within hidden folders is still collected, provided it contains unique .meta files

Note: when updating Asset Store Tools from the Package Manager, don't forget to remove the existing old version from the project before importing the new one (V11.3.0) ! :)

11.2.2

Validator Changes

Updated the 'LOD Setup' test to address some issues

Added additional checks for LOD renderers (inactive renderer check, LOD Group reference check, relative hierarchy position to LOD Group check)
LOD Group Component is no longer required to be on the root of the Prefab
Updated the test result message interface when invalid Prefabs are found

11.2.1

Uploader Changes

Added a more informative error when exporting content with clashing guid meta files in hidden folders
Fixed a compilation issue for Unity 2020.1 and 2020.2
Fixed a rare error condition when queueing multiple package uploads in quick succession
Fixed Asset Store Uploader state not being properly reset if the uploading process fails

Validator Changes

Updated the Asset Store Validator description
Fixed a rare memory overflow issue when performing package validation

11.2.0

Uploader Changes

Uploader will now use the custom package exporter by default

An option to use the legacy (native) exporter can be found in the Asset Store Publishing Tools' settings window

When exporting from the Assets folder, package dependencies can now be selected individually instead of being a choice between 'All' or 'None'

This option is only available with the custom exporter

Changed the way the Uploader reports completed uploading tasks

Modal pop-up has been replaced by a new UI view state
Added an option to the Asset Store Publishing Tools' Settings to display the pop-up after a completed upload

Changed exported .unitypackage files to have distinguishable file names
Fixed the Uploader window indefinitely stalling at 100% upload progress when a response from the Asset Store server is not received
Fixed native package exporter producing broken packages when the export path contained hidden folders
Fixed an issue with high CPU usage when uploading packages
Fixed Asset Store Publishing Tools' settings not being saved between Editor sessions on macOS
Other minor changes and tweaks

Validator Changes

Added two new tests:

'Types have namespaces': checks whether scripts and native libraries under the validated path are nested under a namespace
'Consistent line endings': checks whether scripts under the validated path have consistent line endings. This is similar to the warning from the Unity Editor compilation pipeline when a script contains both Windows and UNIX line endings.

Improved 'Reset Prefabs' test to display and be more informative about prefabs with unusually low transform values
Improved 'SpeedTree asset inclusion' test to search for '.st' files
Improved 'Documentation inclusion' test to treat '.md' files as valid documentation files
Improved 'Lossy audio file inclusion' test to treat '.aif' and '.aiff' files as valid non-lossy audio files
Improved 'Lossy audio file inclusion' test to search the project for non-lossy variants of existing lossy audio files
Removed 'Duplicate animation names' test
Tweaked validation severities for several tests
Other minor changes and tweaks

Note: when updating Asset Store Tools from the Package Manager, don't forget to remove the existing old version from the project before importing the new one (V11.2.0) ! :)

- Package Publisher Portal links can now be opened for all packages regardless of package status

- External Dependency Manager can now be selected as a 'Special Folder' if found in the root Assets folder

- Corrected the message for a passing 'Shader compilation errors' test

- Improved the floating point precision accuracy of the 'Reset Prefabs' test
