2.0.0-pre.7

[2.0.0-pre.7] - 2023-03-15

New features

• Added a new MultiNetworkDriver API to make it easier to handle multiple NetworkDriver instances at the same time for cross-play scenarios. Refer to the "cross-play support" section of the documentation for more details on this feature. This new API is also showcased in a new "CrossPlay" package sample.

Changes

• Update Burst dependency to 1.8.3.
• The QueuedSendMessage structure was removed as it didn't serve any purpose anymore.
• The dependency argument of NetworkDriver.ScheduleFlushSend is now optional.
• SequenceHelpers, RandomHelpers, and the extensions in NativeListExt and FixedStringExt have all been made internal. These are all internal helper classes that shouldn't have been part of the public API in the first place.
• Many APIs and types inside ReliableUtility have been made internal (among them all APIs and types dealing with send/receive contexts and packet information and timers). The information they contain was meant purely for internal consumption in the first place. The statistics and RTT information inside the shared context remains public.
• Removed errorCode from ReliableUtility.SharedContext. Any useful information it can provide is already returned by higher-level APIs like NetworkDriver.EndSend.
• Default send and receive queue sizes are now set to 512 packets (previous value was 64). The queue sizes are modifiable with NetworkSettings.WithNetworkConfigParameters.

Fixes

• Fixed a possible exception in IPCNetworkInterface if it was fed an unknown endpoint.
• Fixed NetworkDriver.GetLocalEndpoint when using WebSocketNetworkInterface (note that on web browsers this will now print a warning since local endpoints are not available on WebGL).
