Note that the Newtonsoft plugin included in ProGIF packages is now provided as a separate Unity package, which you can find in the “SWAN Dev” folder and install as needed.

v2.0.6

- Pro GIF Recorder and Images/TexturesToGIF now support working on WebGL.

- Adds SetOnSaveProgress() method for the ProGifTexturesToGIF converter, provides the options for calling the callback from Update or from threads.

- Some minor improvements.

v2.0.5

- Introduces our EasyIO plugin package to ProGIF assets. EasyIO is a powerful asset to Save and Load files(bytes) and C# class objects on all Unity player platforms.

v2.0.4

- Adds 2 new Save method variants (PGif.iSaveRecord & PGif.iStopAndSaveRecord). The new methods support receiving the recorded GIF file bytes data instead of saving the GIF file only.

- Fixes a recorder bug, in which the progress value of gif frames processing is not correctly calculated.

- Fixes a missing variable issue in the FilePathName script, which some codes in the PRO_GIF define symbol did not rename along with the previously renamed enum type: ProGifTexturesToGIF.ResizeMode

- Some minor improvements.

v2.0.3

- Introduces the ProGIF Remaker extension. It is for re-save(convert) the existing GIF with new settings, i.e. changing the image size (width, height), fps, loopCount, rotation, etc.

- Adds the Sub-Folder parameter for the save methods of GIF recorder/converter for storing newly created GIFs. (You can still copy/move the file to other places, using I/O methods or a native plugin)

- Adds OnHeaderLoaded callback for the GIF player. This callback is called before decoding GIF frames, it returns an object that contains the GIF configs.

- Adds OnFrameLoaded callback for the GIF player. This callback can be used to receive the results when a frame has finished decoding.

- PGif manager: changes the player’s callback methods to static methods, which can be simply accessed like PGif.MethodName()

- ProGifTexturesToGIF improvement: adds m_SubFolder and m_GifFilename variables for storing the output GIF. Remove the SetFilename method. Adds Tooltip comments for all public variables.

- Renamed some variables of the recorder & decoder scripts (* You may encounter errors if you have already integrated these variables into your own scripts. But no worry, we only add/change the prefix of the variables, just re-type the variable name to find the new variable in the popup menu)

- Fixes a bug of ProGifPlayerTexture2D, in which the OnTexture2D callback is not called when the OptimizeMemoryUsage flag is off.

- Minor bug fixes and some improvements.

v2.0.2

- Adds the feature for setting the Comment-Extension when creating GIFs. (A Comment-Extension could be an image description, image credit, or other human-readable metadata such as the GPS location of the image capture.)

- Adds the Comment-Extension string field in the GifInfo and FirstFrame object, developers can optionally display this message in the related callbacks.

- Adds the methods for playing GIF using the existing GIF file byte array.

v2.0.1

- Supports decoding some rare GIFs which missing Graphic Control Extension in the GIF.

- Rename variables in the ProGifPlayerComponent class. This may affect some advanced integrations, which had access to this class directly. (Welcome to email us if you have a problem)

v2.0.0

- Adds a callback to be fired when the decoder(player) encountered an error during decoding the GIF. e.g. file broken...

- Adds a decode option to try playing broken GIFs.

- Improves the CodelessProGifRecorder editor extension, and fixes inspector buttons not working properly in macOS Unity editor.

- Improves "GifApi+ProGifPlayer Demo" scene and "ProGifDemo_Panels_Show_or_Hide_UI" demo scene.

- Fixes a bug in the GetGifInfo method, in which the texture is cleared incorrectly.

v1.9.9

- Fixes a rare issue in which the recorder is unable to capture the objects, if their shaders execute after the camera capture process.

- Minor fixes of the demo scenes & update the Common scripts.

v1.9.8

- Removes the MobileMedia Plugin from the package, current Pro GIF users can get it for free: MobileMedia Plugin

- Improves the editor GIF recorder feature, now supports both in the Editor and runtime App. Rename it to ColdelessProGifRecorder and add some more useful functions and dynamic parameters for flexible setup in the scene.

- The ProGifPlayerComponent will automatically call the Clear method when the player object is being destroyed, which prevents leaks if the developer forgets to clear the player before destroying its GameObject directly.

- Scriptable Render Pipeline: The recorder no longer forces reset the camera ViewportRect width & height to 1 (this should be your own choice).

- Update and improve GIF API(Giphy) to the latest, refactor all the JSON & helper classes, some new API and parameters added.

- Update and improve Weather and TimeZone API(WorldWeatherOnline), refactor all the JSON & helper classes, some new API and parameters added.

- Remove the CryptoCurrency API, because the old 3rd party API services have stopped.

- Add namespace for some common scripts.

v1.9.6

- Adds a script(ProGifPlayerHandler) for setting up player targets for codeless playing GIFs(with a new demo scene included: ProGifDemo_3DSceneUGUI).

- Adds a new PlayerComponent(ProGifPlayerTexture2D) that without UI/Renderer target, which only returns the current played Texture2D for handling by yourself.

- Avoids unnecessary resources unload process, thus leaving the main thread smoother.

- Decoder bugfixes.

v1.9.5

- Improves the recorder component to create better transparent GIFs, adds a new demo scene(ProGifDemo_TransparentSetupExample).

- Updates MobileMedia Plugin to support iOS 14 and newer by adding a new permission handling method and new media picker. Plus some fixes & improvements for both Android and iOS.
