Grid Framework version 1.7.4 has been approved by the Asset Store team. This release brings official support for Unity 5, so feel free to upgrade. Unity 4 is still supported, thanks to the changes to the Asset Store I can now upload separate packages for different versions of Unity.
Version 1.8.0 of Grid Framework has been approved by the Asset Store team. This release introduces a new rendering shape for hex grid: the circle. Of course, like with polar grids, just because it’s called a circle that does not mean you are limited to just circles, you can decide on the start and end “angle” or have a hole in the centre to create a ring.
Version 1.8.4 of Grid Framework has been released. This version updates Vectrosity support to Vectrosity version 5, and it also changes how support for other plugins is enabled. It also introduces a new example: an endless grid in 3D space.
Version 1.9.0 of Grid Framework has been approved by the Asset Store team. This release marks the addition of the fourth kind of grid to the framework: spherical grids.
We are almost at version 2.0, but version 1.x has not been forgotten. In my previous post I was discussing how version 2.0 will be distributed as one directory, including the documentation. The abuse of the WebPlayerTemplates directory has been a thorn in my side since the start, and since the problem is solved for version 2.0 I have applied the same fix.
Version 2.0.1 fixes a bug where the custom inspector of the Cylinder renderer for polar grids would not show up. It would instead display the default inspector generated by Unity, which was still functional, but ugly and would expose things meant for scripting only.
Grid Framework version 2.1.0 has been approved by the Asset Store. This release brings new features in making some previously read-only properties also writeable, fixes compiler issues in connection with Playmaker actions and makes the code comply with the Visual Studio compiler.
Grid Framework version 2.1.1 has been approved by the Asset Store. This is a maintenance release which fixes an error about get_dataPath in the latest Unity version.
Grid Framework version 2.1.4 has been approved by the Asset Store. This update fixes the algorithm for finding the nearest face in a hex grid, and it changes how images in the documentation are handled.
Grid Framework version 2.1.6 has been approved by the Asset Store. This release fixes compilation issues with the upcoming Unity version 2017.2.
