[0.3.0] - 2020-04-28

Build pipeline major overhaul: build pipelines are no longer asset based, and instead must be implemented in code by deriving from BuildPipelineBase class. Build steps are no longer mandatory but can still be used by deriving from BuildStepBase.

Added

  • New class BuildPipelineBase which is a class based replacement for BuildPipeline assets. Build steps can be used to organize build code, but is not mandatory anymore.
  • New class BuildStepBase which is an optional replacement for now obsolete BuildStep.
  • New class BuildStepCollection which represent a list of build steps that can be enumerated and executed.
  • New class BuildResult and RunResult that derives from new base class ResultBase.
  • New class BuildProcess which describe the state of an incremental build process.
  • New class RunContext which holds the context when a pipeline is ran.
  • Methods for querying build component values have been added to ContextBase.
  • Methods for setting build component values are now available on ContextBase. Note that those values are only stored in memory; the build configuration asset is unchanged.
  • New method GetComponentOrDefault on BuildConfiguration which returns the component value if found, otherwise a default instance of the component type without modifying the configuration.
  • New method GetComponentTypes on BuildConfiguration which returns the flatten list of all component types from the configuration and its dependencies.
  • New method SetComponent on BuildConfiguration that only takes a type and sets the component value to a default instance of the component type.
  • New method BuildIncremental on BuildPipelineBase which can be used to implement build pipelines that run in background.
  • New build component ScriptingDebuggerSettings which allows you to enable Scripting Debugging and Wait For Managed Debugger options.
  • Successful build message will contain a hyperlink point towards build directory.
  • New build component PlayerScriptingDefines, allows you to specify extra scripting defines for your scripts while doing a build.

Changed

  • Class BuildContext now derives from new base class ContextBase.
  • The RequiredComponents and OptionalComponents lists previously available on BuildStep have been replaced with the merged list UsedComponents on BuildStepBase.
  • Methods CanBuild and CanRun on BuildConfiguration no longer expect an out string parameter, and instead return a BoolResult that contains the result and the reason.

Deprecated

  • Class BuildPipeline is now obsolete. It has been replaced by BuildPipelineBase which is no longer asset based. All build pipeline assets must be converted into a corresponding build pipeline class that derives from BuildPipelineBase.
  • Class BuildPipelineResult is now obsolete. It has been replaced by BuildResult.
  • Class BuildStep and RunStep are now obsolete. Class based build pipelines no longer enforce the use of build/run steps. Most interfaces and attributes related to BuildStep and RunStep are also obsolete.
  • Class BuildStepResult and RunStepResult are now obsolete. They have been replaced by BuildResult and RunResult respectively.
  • Property BuildPipelineStatus on BuildContext is now obsolete. BuildPipelineResult and BuildStepResult have been combined into BuildResult, removing the need for this intermediate status.

Removed

  • Removed optional mutator parameter on BuildContext class.

Fixed

  • Fixed a dependency ordering issue causing some components to not be found in some cases.
  • Clicking Build/BuildAndRun/Run with unsaved changes will now properly refresh the build configuration asset before performing the action.
