2019 Change Log

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.

v6.3.0 - 2019-Dec-09

  • Added: SyncMode selector now works for components on any scene objects owned by a client in addition to the player object, e.g. pets.
  • Added: MessageBase now fully supports inheritance.
  • Added: Room example now has UI button for host to return all clients to the Room scene and other improvements.
  • Fixed: ReplacePlayerForConnection now works for existing scene objects as long as another player doesn't own the targeted object.
  • Fixed: isClient and isServer are now true for networked objects in Start and OnStartClient / OnStartServer, respectively.
  • Fixed: hasAuthority is now set before OnStartClient and OnStartLocalPlayer are invoked.
  • Changed: connectionToClient is now used to assign client authority.
  • Changed: In many respects, the Host player acts a lot more like a client and will reveal bugs better.
  • Changed: ReplacePlayerForConnection now has an optional bool to retain authority of the previous object (default = false).
  • Removed: NetworkServer.SpawnWithClientAuthority is deprecated in favor of overloads of NetworkServer.Spawn.

v5.0.2 - 2019-Nov-03

  • Added: SyncList and SyncSet custom Equality Comparer support.
  • Added: Custom serializers may be implemented for any type in Cmd's and Rpc's.
  • Fixed: SyncVar hooks are no longer called in Host if no change.
  • Fixed: Network Identity no longer throws a null reference exception in RemoveClientAuthority.
  • Fixed: Server transport now suspended during scene change to prevent erroneous messages.
  • Fixed: SyncList, SyncDictionary and SyncSet now use a custom IEnumerator to avoid memory allocation.
  • Fixed: sceneID is no longer reset in certain cases when editing a prefab.
  • Changed: PreprocessorDefine code moved to CompilerSymbols folder to avoid paradox of missing symbols preventing the symbols being added to the project.
  • Changed: Host player no longer gets authority assigned to all objects by default.
  • Changed: Commands no longer bypass serialization for Host player, making debugging easier.
  • Changed: Local connections now maintain their own message queue.
  • Changed: Transport.Available is now abstract.

v4.0.7 - 2019-Oct-03

  • Added: Profiler events. These events can be subscribed to by the Network Profiler to provide visual information.
  • Added: Transports now include channel in profiler events.
  • Added: Transport abstract class now supports sending a message to a list of connection id's.
  • Fixed: SceneMessage now has sceneOperation enum so clients can properly handle additive scenes.

    • Some transports may still have a little garbage allocation yet.
  • Changed: Deprecated the AddPlayerMessage extraMessage byte[] in favor of an easier approach to Custom Players.
    • This is a breaking change: The virtual method OnServerAddPlayer loses the AddPlayerMessage parameter.
  • Changed: NetworkIdentity.RemoveAuthorityForConnection is now easier to use: no need to supply the current "owner" anymore.
  • Changed: Renamed NetworkConnection.playerController to identity ... see Deprecations for details.
  • Changed: Lobby system renamed to Room to better align the name for what it is and make way for a future Lobby framework.
