v2.2.3 (including patches after 2.2.2)

- Added menu option to apply same assigned LOD level for unity LOD Group components when clicking on the info box "Using Optimizer instead of..."

- Added menu option to remove all added components in 'To Optimize' list when hitting right mouse button on the 'To Optimize List' bookmark.

- Now MonoBehaviour LOD settings starts in simplified version

- Fix for Optimizer 2D detection offset

- Renderer LOD settings now instead of toggle for UseShadows offers selector for additional 'Shadows Only' option

- Added FIMSpace.FOptimizing.IOptimizersDontOptimize interface, to ignore specific components from being added to 'To Optimize List'

- Implemented myOptimizer.AssignOnLODStateChangeAction() to allow calling custom coded actions on lod level change

- Updated assembly definitions packages

- Optimizers will not include 'to optimize list' components which are disabled

- Added "Default Optimizers Setup File" unitypackage, in case if unity is not able to generate the file automatically

- Negative scale objects support

v2.2.2

- IMPORTANT CHANGE: Optimizers Settings for the progressive culling and few other features are now stored inside settings file, under:

Assets\FImpossible Creations\Plugins - Other\Optimizers 2\Code\Resources\Optimizers

The file is automatically generated when using optimizers.

You can quickly select it any time, by clicking right mouse button on the optimizers component header, and find "Select Optimizers Settings File" option.

You can prepare here setup for your project.

Changing shared settings inside Optimizers Manager component, will also change settings in the setup file.

- Now components to optimize types selector files will not be overwritten with the plugin updates (these files will be auto-generated if not found in project)

- Added possibility to not-change 'Is Kinematic' parameter when using rigidbody LODs

v2.2.1

- Fixed garbage collector allocation for particle systems (color gradients still can produce very slight amount of gc)

- Fixed mesh renderer GC Alloc (was allocating material list when material parameter change was enabled)

- Added 'Switch ON/OFF Optimizer()' methods to easily disable optimization changes on single groups

- Improved garbage collector allocation for LOD transition calculations

- Added possibility to choose components for auto-gathering, you can setup it for your project with "EssentialSelector" and "Optimizer2020Selector" files.

- Added component "Ignore Optimizer" which will prevent optimizer to gather any components from object which have attached "Ignore Optimizer" component

06.2021: New arrange of asset directories to be in sync with my all other packages, please remove all FImpossible directories, update plugins on the asset store and import them to the project again.

V2.2.0

- New component 'Optimizer 2 (v2019.4+)' (BETA) available since Unity version 2019.4

This component works in the same way like 'Essential Optimizer' with difference of possibility t easily implement custom components support like with 'Scriptable Optimizer' but with much more stable way!

- Some smaller upgrades

V2.1.7

- Fixed some issue with culling detection when reloading scene with similar camera position

- Horizontal inspector GUI setup with categories to select (you can still bring back old version with header dropdown and pressing button with icon of sliders)

- Fixes some transitioning issues

- Added more options for 2D Optimizer

V2.1.6

- Added experimental 2D Optimizer

- More options in Progressive Culling method

- More options in 'Scene Optimizer' tool

- Build fix

- Unity version specific fixes

V2.1.5

- Added 'Scene Optimizer' window opened through OptimizersManager

You can collect all prefabs from scene and assign optimizers components with customized settings

- Added experimental implementation of Progressive Culling which needs DOTS packages

(check 'Additional Features' tab inside optimizer component)

- Added possibility to crossfade mesh renderer with dithering parameter in shader

- Updated auto detection shape aligment and "Auto" button to refresh it manually

- Added possibility to use Unity's LOD Group by Optimizer also with crossfade feature like in mesh renderer

- Fixed issues in build on unity 2018.4 versions

- New camera switching example scene and switch camera upgrades

- Few inspector window fixes

V2.0.1

- Many small fixes and upgrades

- Added rigidbody optimization support

- Few small changes for inspector GUI (Added duplicate of MaxDistance bar above 'Lod Levels' count slider and few other small elements)

- Added AssemblyDefinitions package which needs remove of previous version from project and reimport again to work (directories paths have been changed)

- There was bug with MultiShapes detection shape radius, now it's fixed

------------------ BIG UPDATE VERSION 2.0.0 WARNING ------------------

All optimizers from version 1 need to be converted to version 2 with converter UI which is available under included "Optimizers Converter V1 to V2.unitypackage"

- New GUI Inspector window

- New "Suggest" button and "Auto" parameter for automatic max distance settings

- Camera buttons over LOD ranges - by clicking on the scene view camera moves to selected distance range to check how will look object when switching to new LOD / culling

- The components "Obstacle detection" and "Multi Shape" are removed and features are put into one component "Essential Optimizer" or "Scriptable Optimizer"

- NEW "ESSENTIAL OPTIMIZER" which can't be expanded with scriptable objects but works very stable with prefabing and is recommended to use

- New "Scriptable Optimizer" which is the same like previous "Simple Optimizer" but implements switchable Obstacle detection / Multi shapes

- Multi Shapes working with culling containers (need to be tested more)

- Language support for inspector titles for 5 languages (English, Polish, Russian (translated), Chinese (t), Japanese (t), Korean (t))

- Updated Manual PDF

- Culling Containers browser tab in Optimizers Manager for debugging generated Culling Groups

- Multiple smaller fixes

- Demo scenes packed into unitypackage

Pre Version 2.0.0:

- Now optimized components will appear with names of owner game objects

- When there is no camera on scene there will pop up only one warning instead of spam of errors (also upgrades for automatic new camera assigning)

- Option to set all optimized components disabled / enabled with one button (Nexy to "Diable" button in first component's foldout when you optimize more than 3 components)

- Improved custom MonoBehaviour support, now not supported variable types will be hidden under foldout because this variables are only for info, also there will appear button "Simplify" to not use any variables from MonoBehaviour except "Disable" option

- Some small fixes

-------------------------------

- Important Change: Now "Deactivate Object" is untoggled by default, deactivating and activating whole game objects in many cases was causing performance peaks during culling object if it wasn't in camera view (if you rotated camera)

- Added "Auto" and "Set Far" button next to "Max Distance" it will help you define max distance for object, basing on camera's far plane settings, and size of detection sphere

- Automatic detection shapes dimensions now will fit better to scaled objects

- Dynamic optimization method shape now scales with object

- Warning and explanation of "Deactivate Object" toggle

- Warning message when you copy not prefabed objects and without shared settings with optimizers to another scene (LOD Sets will be lost - because they're managed by unity as scene assets, not gameObject serialized data)

-------------------------------

- IMPORTANT CHANGE: Implemented CullingContainers logics which are significantly boosting performance for culling detection calculations for tones of objects if they're using same count of LOD levels and same distance values (if you were using more than 1000 optimizers you should notice difference, also now you can freely use like 100 000 optimizers at the same time! ) Feature needs to be tested a bit but seems to be stable.

- Disabling optimizer is now fully supported [optimizer.enabled = false] (probably you will not need this but some projects could make use of it)

- Static Game Object automatic detection for "Static" optimization method + dialog

- Now light optimizer "Render Mode" enums will have same names like ones inside Light component's inspector window

- Changed drawing for multipliers in light and particle systems LOD settings from 0-1 to 0%-100% ("FPD_Percentage()" instead of "Range()")

- Small bug fixes

-----------------------------

- Fixed transform scale detection sphere radius preview in scene view during editor mode

- Light transitioning fixes when not using ("change intensity")

- Added toggle in first LOD level window to unlock disabling and editing parameters (experimental)

- Now disabling optimizer component during playmode will prevent changes on optimized objects

- When using nested prefabs (parent object having optimizer and child objects having optimizers) optimizer will not try

adding component onto "To Optimize" list when the same component is in use by other, child optimizer component.

- Added LOG warning about creating optimizer inside prefab mode - it's not yet supported

---------------------------

- Improved compatibility with Unity 2019

- Added component Optimizer Cleaner to remove unused sub-assets from prefabs generated because of issue with Unity 2019

- Many small changes improving integration

- Entry integration for Asset Pipeline V2 (Unity 2019.3+)
