Change Log

Mirror is published to the Asset Store at the start of every month, unless some critical issue causes a delay.

Mirror uses semantic versioning, and the versions shown here are those that were published to the Asset Store, and occasionally major version bumps happen mid-month between store submissions and are therefore not individually shown here.

v97.0.0 -- In Progress

Added

• NetworkTransform now has dropdown for using Update/FixedUpdate/LateUpdate

• RemoteStatistics now has option to skip password and auth check for convenient testing

• Mirror Render Pipeline Converter for URP compatibility

• NetworkName component: syncs object name from server to clients

• NetworkBehaviour::isHost shortcut for isServer + isClient

• UniqueNameAuthenticator: reusable version from the Chat example

• Card Game example with simple match making and tight data flow

Fixes

• Network Authenticator UnityEvents improved and Unity 2019 compatibility restored

• Predicted Rigidbody no longer resets ghost objects

• NetworkScenePostProcess now only processes the last loaded scene instead of all loaded scenes for better performance

• NetworkServer / NetworkClient exceptionsDisconnect now is reset during Shutdown

• NetworkManager now unsubscribes from OnSceneLoaded in OnDestroy

• Some common code in various NetworkTransform flavors consolidated to NetworkTransformBase

• NetworkTransform now handles changing SendIntervalMultiplier at runtime

• NetworkTransform::OnTeleport no longer breaks delta compression

• NetworkTransformHybrid now better handles initial child sync

• NetworkAnimator Trigger message handling improved

• SimpleWebTransport now includes Port in ToString

• SimpleWebTransport now includes timestamps in log outputs

• SimpleWebTransport general improvements in logging

• SimpleWebTransport minimized calls to conn.Dispose

• InterestManagement now hides WorldSpace Canvas in SetHostVisibility

• Host client now respects AOI when invoking SyncVar hooks and SyncCollection Actions

• SyncVar hooks and SyncCollection Actions are now deferred on clients until end of initial spawn

  • This should eliminate race conditions when attempting to cross-reference other networked objects from the hooks and Action handlers.

• OnGUI now properly excluded from Dedicated Server builds

• ReadOnly attribute now supports TextArea fields

• NetworkIdentity::AssignClientAuthority now ensures owner data is included

• CecilX updated with missing namespaces and build fixes

• ThreadLog now only captures logging from Mirror threads

• Transport base class now has a TryBuildValidUri helper method to protect against unvalid characters in host names, and our transports have been updated to use it from ServerUri overrides.

• NetworkManager no longer throws NRE from StopHost after StartHost failed

• Many examples have been updated, especially PlayerTest prefabs and controllers

Changes

• NetworkAnimator: Deprecated clientAuthority for syncDirection

• Simple Web Transport no longer supports Unity 2021 and older

• BREAKING: Commands invoked by host client bypass network writer / reader

  • This makes the host client timing different from remote clients

  • This now requires careful testing with remote clients that may act differently
