2022 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.

v71.0.0 -- 2022-Dec-31

  • Added: NetworkClient.activeHost added as static.
  • Added: Sync* collections now support Client-to-Server Sync Direction.

  • Fixed: NetworkManager.OnStopClient now checks if client was started.
  • Fixed: NetworkManager.OnClientSceneChanged now checks for authenticated client before calling NetworkClient.Ready.
  • Fixed: NetworkManager.mode is now set to offline before calling OnStopClient to prevent a recursion.
  • Fixed: SimpleWebSocket logging improved.
  • Fixed: NetworkManager template now resets singleton in Awake override.
  • Fixed: NetworkDiscovery template now correctly has the messages defined as structs.
  • Fixed: NetworkTransform / NetworkTransformReliable now check for null connectionToClient in UpdateServer.
    • This cures the NRE's when player object is abandoned by scene changes.

  • Changed: NetworkServer.localConnection is now LocalConnectionToClient type.
  • Changed: NetworkManager's OnStartServer and OnStartHost are now called later in the startup sequence.
  • Changed: NetworkRoomManager no longer does max connection checks...NetworkServer already does that sooner.

v70.0.0 -- 2022-Dec-09

  • Added: Support for Unity 2019 LTS was restored
    • No promises as how long this will last. Unity no longer supports it, and code debt adds up.

  • Fixed: Examples have been updated to work with this release.
  • Fixed: Interest Management now uses TryGetValue in several places.
  • Fixed: Telepathy no longer calls OnDisconnected twice incorrectly.

    • Unreliable version replaces the old NetworkTransform.
    • SyncInterval is now managed by NetworkServer sendRate (set in Network Manager).
    • NetworkTransformChild removed...use Network Transform and set target to a child.
    • clientAuthority obsoleted in favor of syncDirection impemented in previous release.
Support for Unity 2019 LTS was restored in this release, but we cannot promise how long we'll be able to maintain compatibility as code debt adds up.
