[3.0.0] - 2023-03-29

Added

  • TextureBase.Load... overloads that accepts an explicit transcode target texture format ### Changed
  • [Breaking] Reduced public API to minimum requirement.
  • Added missing XML documentation for remaining public API.
  • Updated KTX-Software-Unity to 1.1.0 ### Removed
  • Utility classes TextureLoaderBase, TextureFileLoader and TextureUrlLoader were moved to KtxUnityDemo project
  • TextureBase.LoadBytesRoutine (was replaced by LoadFromBytes previously)

[2.2.3] - 2022-11-18

Fixed

  • WebGL build errors (unresolved symbols during linking) due to outdated native library

[2.2.2] - 2022-09-29

Changed

  • Marked TextureBase.LoadBytesRoutine obsolete in favor of TextureBase.LoadFromBytes ### Fixed
  • Made TextureBase.LoadBytesRoutine public again to preserve API compatibility

[2.2.1] - 2022-09-28

Added

  • Low-level API that gives finer control over the loading process (alternative to TextureBase.LoadBytesRoutine)
  • ManagedNativeArray wrapper for efficient access of managed byte[] from C# Jobs
  • Basis Universal texture (.basis) Editor import
  • Support for loading any single image/layer/mipmap level of textures of any type (arrays, cubemaps, volumes)
  • Support for discarding mipmap level chain (and import just one mipmap level)
  • Support for importing Basis Universal texture types 2darray, 3d, video, cubemap (single images only at the moment)
  • Many property getters on KtxTexture (e.g. needsTranscoding,hasAlpha,isCubemap)
  • Experimental support for importing uncompressed KTX 2.0 textures (limited set of formats for now; #47) ### Changed
  • De-prioritized texture formats RGBA4444 and BGR565 to avoid incorrect channel usage or low quality. Transcoding to RGBA32 instead.
  • Bumped minimum required Unity version to 2019.4 LTS ### Fixed
  • Textures with alpha channel are shown blended (with checkerboard background) in the inspector now (alphaIsTransparency is enabled; #64)
  • Avoid extra memcopy of input data by using ManagedNativeArray in LoadFromStreamingAssets and LoadFromUrl
  • Improved texture format usage detection (linear vs. sRGB sampling)
  • Loading of native library on Linux (thanks @Blackclaws for #60)

[2.1.2] - 2022-04-14

Fixed

  • Fix undefined variable error when building project
  • Compiler error due to C# 7.3 incompatible code

Ported changes from 1.2.0

Added

  • Editor Import via ScriptableImporter (thanks @hybridherbst][hybridherbst] for #45)
  • Error Codes (in TextureResult.errorCode) ### Changed
  • In release builds there's no console logging anymore (use the errorCode instead). In Debug builds and the Editor you still get detailed error messages. ### Fixed
  • Will not transcode textures with sizes that are not a multiple of four to incompatible DXT5 or BC7 formats anymore
  • Re-compiled macOS native library in release mode (MinSizeRel; was Debug). Expect improved performance.
