[4.2.0-pre.8] - 2021-05-20

No changes

[4.2.0-pre.7] - 2021-05-13

Added

Added an API to request temporal smoothing of the environment depth image for providers that support this feature.
Added an ARBuildProcessor utility class to prepare AR assets, such as image and object tracking libraries, for use in asset bundles. This should be used before invoking BuildPipeline.BuildAssetBundles.
Added a new TrackableType.Depth enum flag to report raycast hits against the depth map.

Deprecated

Deprecated TrackableType.All enum as it does not include all types. Changing the value of this enum would be a breaking change, so a new value TrackableType.AllTypes has been introduced.

Removed

Removed exception from XREnvironmentProbeSubsystem.RemoveEnvironmentProbe with the message "cannot remove environment probes when environment probe system is not running". The exception would be thrown when the method was called and the subsystem was not running. Now, the method returns false if the subsystem is not running. It was common to see this exception when unloading a scene, since the subsystems might have been destroyed before the environment probes were removed.

[4.2.0-pre.5] - 2021-04-07

No changes

[4.2.0-pre.4] - 2021-03-19

Fixed

Clarified documentation for XRCameraSubsystem.TryGetInstrincis.

[4.2.0-pre.3] - 2021-03-15

Changed

Deprecated the TextureImporterInternals in 2021.2. This provided access to an internal method GetSourceTextureWidthAndHeight to get the source texture dimensions. The internal method is public in 2021.2 and should be used instead of the TextureImporterInternals helper.

Fixed

Exclude tests from scripting API docs.

[4.2.0-pre.2] - 2021-03-03

Added

The runtime image data associated with an XRReferenceImageLibrary is now stored directly in the asset. This allows novel reference image libraries to be downloaded by an app that was not originally built with that library, e.g., as an asset bundle.
A new reference object can be added to a reference object library at runtime.

Changed

The XROcclusionSubsystemDescriptor provides a means to query for the capabilities of an XROcclusionSubsystem. Previously, these capabilities were booleans, but some platforms may take a few frames to determine a capability. Those bool properties have been deprecated in favor of properties that return a Supported state, which includes a Supported.Unknown state to indicate support for the feature or capability is not yet known.
Updated documentation for XROcclusionSubsystemDescriptor with notes describing the limitations of feature support detection.
The minimum Unity version for this package is now 2020.3.

[4.1.3] - 2021-01-05

Changed

Removed the CONTRIBUTIONS.md file as this package does not accept contributions.

[4.1.1] - 2020-11-09

Changed

Released package for Unity 2021.1

[4.1.0-preview.13] - 2020-11-09

No changes

[4.1.0-preview.12] - 2020-11-02

Added

Added a new NotTrackingReason: CameraUnavailable.

[4.1.0-preview.11] - 2020-10-22

Added

Added a new method ScheduleAddImageWithValidationJob to the MutableRuntimeReferenceImageLibrary which adds new reference images to a reference library only after validating that the new reference image is suitable for image tracking. The new method returns a new type AddReferenceImageJobState which you can use to determine whether the image was successfully added.

[4.1.0-preview.10] - 2020-10-12

Changed

Each subsystem's "provider" is now accessible by derived classes via a protected property provider.

[4.1.0-preview.9] - 2020-09-25

Changed

Updating dependency on com.unity.subsystemregistration to 1.1.0.

Fixed

Fix documentation links.
Fix XRReferenceImageLibraries when duplicated from an existing reference image library. Reference image libraries are assigned unique GUIDs on creation, so if you created one by duplicating an existing library, they would have identical GUIDs. The actual reference image library used at runtime was not well defined in this case.

[4.1.0-preview.7] - 2020-08-26

Fixed

Fixed an issue which could throw an exception when subsystems were run in the Editor (e.g., for simulation or remoting). This could happen when a trackable (e.g., a plane or anchor) was removed. This did not affect Player builds (i.e., on device). This is an example of the exception and associated callstack:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Unity.Collections.LowLevel.Unsafe.AtomicSafetyHandle.CheckReadAndThrow (Unity.Collections.LowLevel.Unsafe.AtomicSafetyHandle handle)
Unity.Collections.NativeArray1[T].Copy (Unity.Collections.NativeArray1[T] src, Unity.Collections.NativeArray1[T] dst) Unity.Collections.NativeArray1[T].CopyFrom (Unity.Collections.NativeArray1[T] array) UnityEngine.XR.ARSubsystems.TrackableChanges1[T]..ctor (System.Void* addedPtr, System.Int32 addedCount, System.Void* updatedPtr, System.Int32 updatedCount, System.Void* removedPtr, System.Int32 removedCount, UnityEngine.XR.ARSubsystems.XRReferencePoint defaultT, System.Int32 stride, Unity.Collections.Allocator allocator)
...

[4.1.0-preview.6] - 2020-07-27

Added

Implemented supportsColorCorrection boolean in XRCameraSubsystemDescriptor. This value indicates whether or not color correction values for ambient color are available on the current device.

Fixed

Fixed script updater attribute which could result in an infinite loop during automatic script updates.

[4.1.0-preview.5] - 2020-07-16

Fixed

Minor correction in a debug warning message related to shaders in the build pipeline.
Updated documentation.
Fixed xmldoc errors.

[4.0.1] - 2020-05-27

Added

Added a method to XRCameraSubsystem that allows optional, platform-specific code to be called immediately before the camera background is rendered.
Added support for camera grain to XRCameraSubsystem through XRCameraFrame.
Added depth field and dimension field to XRTextureDescriptor. Depth indicates the size of the depth dimension in a 3D texture, and dimension indicates the type of texture. See the TextureDimension docs for more details.
Added meshing-related features to Feature enum.
Added point cloud feature to Feature enum.
Added XROcclusionSubsystem.TryAcquireHumanStencilCpuImage and XROcclusionSubsystem.TryAcquireHumanDepthCpuImage which provides access to the raw texture data on the CPU.

Fixes an issue where the equality comparison for XRCameraConfiguration did not take nativeConfigurationHandle into account

[3.1.0-preview.2] - 2019-12-06

Added

Added support for HDR light estimation mode to XRCameraSubsystem and XRCameraFrame.
Added additional field to XRCameraConfiguration to expose a handle used to get the native configuration. This handle is platform specific in it's implementation.

[3.1.0-preview.1] - 2019-11-21

No changes

[3.0.2] - 2020-03-18

Fixed "X" (remove reference image) icon in the XRReferenceImageLibrary inspector.

[3.0.0] - 2019-11-05

Added

Added XROcclusionSubsystem for managing occlusion textures, such as the human segmentation stencil and human segmentation depth on some iOS devices.

Changed

Renaming the concept of Reference Points to Anchors. The Unity script updater should convert any references to XRReferencePointSubsystem, XRReferencePoint, and XRReferencePointSubsystemDescriptor the next time the project is loaded into the Editor.

[3.0.0-preview.4] - 2019-10-22

Added

Change TrySetFocusMode to a property called focusMode, enabling providers to implement a getter as well as a setter.
Added classification on BoundedPlane which provides contextual information such as Floor, Wall, Ceiling.

Fixed

XRCameraImagePlane.ToString() invoked NativeArray.ToString() to build its string, which produced a string with a lot of irrelevant information. Now, it just displays the length of the array, row stride, and pixel stride of the plane.

[3.0.0-preview.3] - 2019-09-26

Added

Added an input device layout for the Input System, for use by individual providers.

Changed

Updated the interface for all subsystems to apply a consistent pattern across all subsystems. This affects subsystem implementations (such as ARCore and ARKit) but should not affect consumers of those subsystems.
Removed supported property on the XRFaceSubsystem. Providers (such as ARKit) are expected not to register themselves if they are not supported.
Removed supported property on the XREnvironmentProbeSubsystem. Providers (such as ARKit) are expected not to register themselves if they are not supported.

[3.0.0-preview.2] - 2019-09-05

Changed

Updated package version to 3.0.0-preview.2 for consistency with other AR-related packages.

[3.0.0-preview.1] - 2019-08-21
