Changelog

All notable changes to this package will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[1.4.1] - 2021-12-01

Changed

  • Update package version to create a signed package

[1.4.0] - 2021-11-10

Added

  • Meshing: Added Meshing APIs, HoloLens mesh provider and mesh visualizer.
  • Added simulated mesh snapshot provider, which creates combined meshes for each classification type specified by SimulatedMeshClassification in the simulated environment.
  • Added Project Validation view to MARS Project Settings (Edit > MARS > Project Validation). Validation will also run at build time.
  • Popup added to prompt the user to run Project Validation when a new version of MARS is detected.
  • Added Project Validation rule to check that the MARS Simulation Subsystem is enabled with XR Plug-in Management.
  • Added Build Validation Rules for disallowing OpenGL as a Graphics API in the Unity Editor. When using OpenGL, the Game View will not render a MARS Simulation as expected. For more information on this issue please see the FAQ.
  • Added Simulation view toolbar buttons for toggling between Simulation/Device views, and Content/Environment selection modes.
  • Added notification to Simulation View for what type of objects are selectable in the view when switching Simulation Selection Mode and when missed clicks occur. The notification can be disabled in Edit > Preferences > MARS > Hide Simulation Selection Mode Notifications.
  • Added definitions for conditions, actions and forces on the MARS Concepts docs.
  • Added live updating of child transforms of Proxies in Simulation when modifying transforms in the original scene in edit mode.
  • Added new option to the 'Desaturate Content' effect in Simulation View, SelectionPulse. This option will pulse a fade over the unselectable simulation content when a missed click is detected in the Simulation View, and hold the fade on the unselectable content when the active simulation scene content is selected.
  • Simulation environments now show a message box when trying to delete GameObjects in the environment hierarchy.
  • Added Environment Selector window to the simulation toolbar.
  • Added MARS simulation as an AR Subsystem doc link.
  • Added preferences option to show MARS components as regular components in the inspector.

Changed

  • Updated minimum Unity version to 2019.4.15f1
  • Simulation environments have been removed from the base MARS package, and are instead downloaded via Content Manager. UI affordances to invoke Content Manager have been added to the simulation environments list and MARS templates window, and the user will be prompted to install Content Manager if missing.
  • Create and Compare Tools force Simulation views into Content selection mode to improve usability.
  • Opening a Template will now set the template up in a new untitled scene.
  • Simplified the MARS Simulation Environment docs and added a step-by-step guide on how to create a basic simulation environment.
  • Removed simulation controls from MARS Panel and simulation toolbar settings dropdown. These controls are now available in the environment dropdown and the 'Resync Simulation' dropdown within the Simulation View toolbar.
  • Objects under Generated Planes Root now have scene picking disabled, to make it easier to select environment geometry.
  • Option for (Project Settings > MARS > Editor Visuals) "Use Fallback Composite Rendering" is no longer disabled when using a Scriptable Render Pipeline (SRP). Users should enable this option manually if using a SRP.
  • Importing a simulation environment or session recording automatically updates the list of sources available in Simulation.
