Full Changelog: 1.6.1...1.6.2

1.6.1

This release does not confirm to semver. Due to unexpected compatibility issues with IExtensionContext.Owner, this
release removes this API. Although this is technically a semver violation, it's better than the accidental violation in
1.6.0.

Note: In 1.7.0 NDMF will add sentinel default methods to all interfaces to ensure that downstream packages are not
using outdated versions of C# to build. The NDMF project will not consider this to be a breaking change after 1.7.0.
Please update your projects to build with modern C# before then.

Fixed

• [#482] Additional performance improvements

Removed

• [#483] Removed IExtensionContext.Owner due to compatibility issues.

Full Changelog: 1.6.0...1.6.1

1.6.0

Added

• [#479] Added IAssetSaver and SerializationScope APIs.
  • NDMF plugins are encouraged to use IAssetSaver.SaveAsset instead of directly accessing AssetContainer. This will
    split saved assets across multiple files, to avoid performance degradation as the number of assets in a container
    grows.
• [#480] Added IExtensionContext.Owner API. Setting this property will allow errors to be correctly attributed to the
  plugin that contains an extension context.
• [#472] [#474] Added the DependsOnContext attribute, for declaring dependencies between extension contexts.
• [#473] Added BuildContext.SetEnableUVDistributionRecalculation to allow opting out from the automatic call to
  Mesh.RecalculateUVDistributionMetrics on generated meshes.
• [#478] Added ProfilerScope API
• [#481] Added NDMFPreview.GetOriginalObjectForProxy

Fixed

• [#479] Unpacking generated asset containers can break inter-asset references

Full Changelog: 1.5.7...1.6.0

1.5.7

What's Changed

• [#468] Performance improvements
• [#471] Improve compatibility with VRChat's streaming mipmaps feature
  • NDMF will now call Mesh.RecalculateUVDistributionMetrics on all generated meshes on upload. An API to opt-out will be provided at the next major version release.

Full Changelog: 1.5.6...1.5.7

1.5.6

[1.5.6] - [2024-10-19]

Fixed

• [#461] Selection outlines in scene view do not work reliably when preview system is active
• [#459] "Proxy object was destroyed improperly! Resetting pipeline..." error appears frequently
• [#460] Preview system fails to recover when the primary proxy is destroyed
• [#462] NDMF console fails to appear when an ExtensionContext throws an exception

Full Changelog: 1.5.5...1.5.6

1.5.5

[1.5.5] - [2024-10-15]

Fixed

• [#454] Scene view selection outlines flicker in some cases
• [#450] Improved performance when a large number of object change events are generated (e.g. when exiting animation
  mode)
• [#441] Fixed an issue where the preview object pickable status could get out of sync with the original
• [#444] Fixed an issue where the preview system broke drag-and-drop of materials onto the scene view
• [#444] Fixed an issue where the preview system broke drag-to-select in the scene view

Changed

• [#451] Changed preview system to apply to more cameras. Specifically, we now handle all cameras with no render
  texture set, to ensure that Game Mode behaves as expected.
