Change log

[0.2.0-preview.4] - 2019-11-26

New features

Changes

• Added support for unquantized floats to DataStream class.
• Added NetworkConfigParameter.maxFrameTimeMS so you to allow longer frame times when debugging to prevent disconnections due to timeout.
• Allow "1.1.1.1:1234" strings when parsing the IP string in the NetworkEndPoint class, it will use the port part when it's present.
• Reliable pipeline now doesn't require parameters passed in (uses default window size of 32)
• Added Read/Write of ulong to DataStream.
• Made it possible to get connection state from the parallel NetworkDriver.
• Added LengthInBits to the DataStreamWriter.

Fixes

• Do not push data events to disconnected connections. Fixes an error about resetting the queue with pending messages
• Made the endian checks in DataStream compatible with latest version of burst.

Upgrade guide

[0.1.2-preview.1] - 2019-07-17

New features

• Added a new Ping-Multiplay sample based on the Ping sample
  • Created to be the main sample for demonstrating Multiplay compatibility and best practices (SQP usage, IP binding, etc.)
  • Contains both client and server code. Additional details in readme in /Assets/Samples/Ping-Multiplay/.
• DedicatedServerConfig: added arguments for -fps and -timeout
• NetworkEndPoint: Added a TryParse() method which returns false if parsing fails
  • Note: The Parse() method returns a default IP / Endpoint if parsing fails, but a method that could report failure was needed for the Multiplay sample
• CommandLine:
  • Added a HasArgument() method which returns true if an argument is present
  • Added a PrintArgsToLog() method which is a simple way to print launch args to logs
  • Added a TryUpdateVariableWithArgValue() method which updates a ref var only if an arg was found and successfully parsed

Changes

• Deleted existing SQP code and added reference to SQP Package (now in staging)
• Removed SQP server usage from basic Ping sample
  • Note: The SQP server was only needed for Multiplay compatibility, so the addition of Ping-Multiplay allowed us to remove SQP from Ping

Fixes

• DedicatedServerConfig: Vsync is now disabled programmatically if requesting an FPS different from the current screen refresh rate

Upgrade guide

[0.1.1-preview.1] - 2019-06-05

New features

• Moved MatchMaking to a package and supporting code to a separate folder.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue with the reliable pipeline not resending when completely idle.

Upgrade guide

[0.1.0-preview.1] - 2019-04-16

New features

• Added network pipelines to enable processing of outgoing and incomming packets. The available pipeline stages are ReliableSequencedPipelineStage for reliable UDP messages and SimulatorPipelineStage for emulating network conditions such as high latency and packet loss. See the pipeline documentation for more information.
• Added reading and writing of packed signed and unsigned integers to DataStream. These new methods use huffman encoding to reduce the size of transfered data for small numbers.

Changes

• Enable Burst compilation for most jobs
• Made it possible to get the remote endpoint for a connection
• Replacing EndPoint parsing with custom code to avoid having a dependency on System.Net
• Change the ping sample command-line parameters for server to -port and -query_port
• For matchmaking - use an Assignment object containing the ConnectionString, the Roster, and an AssignmentError string instead of just the ConnectionString.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue with building iOS on Windows
• Fixed inconsistent error handling between platforms when the network buffer is full

Upgrade guide

Unity 2019.1 is now required.

BasicNetworkDriver has been renamed to GenericNetworkDriver and a new UdpNetworkDriver helper class is also available.

System.Net EndPoints can no longer be used as addresses, use the new NetworkEndpoint struct instead.
