[Version 2.1.10]

Fixes:

· [Fix] Latest Unity versions didn't (yet?) handle a custom importer, which was introduced earlier to avoid users needing to do clean installs for some updates. Custom importing is not needed now, but you may have to do a clean install (delete the earlier version before importing) if you are updating an older version of Path Painter.

[Version 2.1.9]

Fixes:

· [Fix] API Paint3D handled line caps like ordinary Paint & produced somewhat incorrect results.

[Version 2.1.8]

Fixes:

· [Fix] Import validation incorrectly checked for two components no longer needed and warned about them.

[Version 2.1.7]

Enhancements:

· [New] Adaptive, automated performance optimisation for large scale painting.

Fixes:

· [Fix] Removed the spacing optimisation that caused some unwanted terracing effects and shaping artefacts.

· [Fix] Fixed harmless errors caused by unanticipated (and highly unlikely) zero resolution Detailmaps with active layers.

[Version 2.1.6]

Enhancements:

· Path Painter now considers terrains Grouping IDs when looking at terrain groups.

· Warning messages will now advise regarding terrain tiles that deviate from the selected group too much.

Fixes:

· [Fix] Texture painting had an incorrect offset in some large environments in which terrains had mismatched Heightmap and Control Texture Resolutions.

· [Fix] Autoramp saved setting was only reset in the GUI at startup but PP used the default setting if not applied.

· [Fix] Switched off autoramp was occasionally not correctly handled and could cause terrain shaping anomalies.

· [Fix] Scene switching/loading could occasionally result in brush visualisation related Missing Reference Exception due to no longer existing terrains.

· [Fix] Autoramp did not ignore non-compatible tiles and painted incorrect ramps from them.

· [Fix] Missing terrain at scene loading could cause a validation related Missing Reference Exception.

· [Fix] Undoing some terrain settings changes was not expected by Path Painter and this could cause some temporary errors.

· [Fix] Depending on terrain settings some could deviate too much from the terrain group and was still considered part of the group.

[Version 2.1.5]

Enhancements:

· Unity fixed bug #1373388, so removed the workaround for it.

· Minimum Unity version is now 2019.4 as per Unity requirements.

· Layer names show up as tooltips for easy identification on the texture painting GUI.

· Updated the demo scene to include the Free Fantasy Terrain Textures environment.

[Version 2.1.4]

· Inlcuded a temp solution for Unity bug #1373388 that can affect users who build for Android.

[Version 2.1.3]

Fixes:

· [Fix] A bug was causing null reference exceptions with some terrain neighbour setups that have missing tiles.

[Version 2.1.2]

Enhancements:

· Completely reworked one of the painting mechanisms. The new solution could be more optimal for most scenarios and may only become disadvantageous in extreme circumstances+usage. The old mechanism could also possibly trigger some odd GC behaviour causing a build up of graphics memory usage by Unity as reported by two users. Could not yet conclude what part the old mechanism may have been playing in this but initial studies suggest that the new mechanism largely avoids the buildup. Also the pooling of the old mechanism could have caused some delays of paint readiness on some tiles in environments with hundreds of terrain tiles.

· Unity 2018.3 & 2018.4 still supports deprecated .NET 3.5 Equivalent runtime scripting. Support for this was dropped earlier but Path Painter II now supports it once again in those Unity versions.

· Path Painter will now use a lean, build optimised structure. This means that by default no part of Path Painter will be included in your builds.

· Resources are now in the Editor folder as part of the lean, build optimised structure.

· Removed the Runtime Demos from the package as part of the lean, build optimised structure. These are now downloadable separately. Use the option in the menu.

· [New] Build settings available in the menu. Use it to include/exclude Path Painter from your builds. You will want to include only if you use the API in runtime.

· Now you have options to go directly to the Documentation from the main Help, the more tab and from the menu.

Fixes:

· [Fix] Terrain square check had a bug for 4 years.

· [Fix] Painting with Texturing off painted textures in some circumstances if textures were otherwise selected.

· [Fix] Fixed a GUI styling bug that may have caused minor problems that were not detected by users.

· [Fix] Path Painter now expects that detail resolution can be zero.

[Version 2.1.1]

Fixes:

· [Fix] Fixed bug related to brush visualisation that in some circumstances threw null ref errors, but had no effect on functionality.

· [Fix] Fixed bug in tree clearing that in some circumstances threw null ref errors when vegetation clearing was off, but had no effect on functionality.

· [Fix] Fixed alphamap bounds bug that appeared in some circumstances when texturing was off, but had no known effect on functionality.

· [Fix] Fixed bug that in some cases threw null ref errors when turning on texturing on a non-texture painted path.

· [Fix] Shaping artefacts were appearing if some fairly specific conditions were met due to a conservative limit value. PP "thought" it didn't need to do some calculations for those areas and this produced artefacts.

[Version 2.1.0b4]

Enhancements:

· Removed the need to reference .Net libraries

Fixes:

· [Fix] Removed dev leftover hard coded min resolution that could brake things on very low res terrains.

· [Fix] Path Painter sometimes didn't detect right away if some terrain parameters changed between two brush strokes.

· [Fix] Over optimisation could cause spotty painting in some circumstances.

· [Fix] Terrain Trees are detected as terrain in runtime by Unity. Now Path Painter accounts for that.

[Version 2.1.0b3]

Enhancements:

· [New] Auto Ramp feature. You just do the painting and Path Painter will automatically create ramps as needed. This way of painting has been in the plans for about 5 years, from the very beginning, but got lost in the noise until now, when one of you reminded me of it (thank you!). Use the slope limit option to tame it to your needs.

· Done some clarification on some of the API XML documentation.

· Renamed runtime folders, so they can be easily moved into Editor (without colliding with folders there), so you can avoid them ending up in your builds.

· Added more tips/info that appears on the GUI.

· Fixed some typos and improved some information in the Documentation.

Fixes:

· [Fix] Turning off texturing didn't remove textures from (already painted) active paths.

· [Fix] After some terrain changes the brush could have been rendered slightly off.

· [Fix] Various small fixes.

[Version 2.1.0b2]

Enhancements:

· [New] Painting on GPU Instanced terrains. This primarily has an effect in large environments, where Unity struggles when terrains are not GPU Instanced.

· [New] Demo now includes API usage examples that can be customised for users' projects. Two hand paint and one spline/point based example.

· [New] API undo callback for a better option for undo mechanisms (examples provided)

· [New] API Line Paint mode that allows lines to be painted point by point (e.g. for hand painting).

· Improved/optimised paint performance on several fronts when painting in large environments. These provide a significant performance improvement in huge environments.

· Optimised Unity Undo operations, so Unity Undo is much more reliable in large environments.

· Simplified API Bulk Paint usage: 1. StartBulkPaint(); 2. Do any number of Paint()/Paint3D(); 3. EndBulkPaifnt();

· API now provides warnings when used incorrectly and attempts to guess and do what the user intended to do.

· Path Painter II (v2) no longer imports on top of Path Painter (v1), so both of them can be used in a project (Avoid using the hotkeys if both versions are open, since both uses the same hotkeys for consistency.)

· Cut legacy Unity support for a leaner package (A single package supporting more than 17 Unity versions was becoming messy). The package now only supports Unity 2018.3 or newer.

· Numerous versioning changes, so major versions don't collide.

· Numerous small improvements.

· Better namespacing for the API.

Fixes:

· [Fix] Some terrain locations were miscalculated due to floating point errors and this could cause out of range exceptions in large environments.

· [Fix] GUI now gracefully handles broken layer references of terrains.

· [Fix] Path Painter API was getting into a disagreement with itself when only road texture was being painted and this caused an error.

· [Fix] Fixed an API bug in Bulk Painting that could cause some de-syncing in some circumstances that could affect GUI painting that immediately followed it.

· [Fix] Fixed a minor API bug that could sometime throw errors during some extreme painting, without an effect on the painting itself.

[Version 2.1.0b1]

Work started on Path Painter under Unity 5.6. This was almost 3 years before neighbour terrain tiles appeared, and supporting such thing didn't even cross the author, Frank's mind, who was new to Unity at the time.

Version 2 is pretty much a complete rewrite to add that feature. All these features are available in all supported Unity versions (Unity 5.6 and onwards).
