You can either download / fork this project to access the scripts, or you can also download these pre-compiled Unity Assets, chock full of goodness for each release:

Its been a while since the last update and although Unity keeps changing, thankfully the parts underneath do not. THanks to some awesome work by our contributors and the test teams, we made a run on some underlying bugs and issues. If you spot anything else, please log it on the BitBucket site for resolution.

- Updated UI Line connector to use relative position instead of anchored position to verify if the Lines need updating.
- Allow menu prefabs to not have to have canvas components. This allows you to use any type of prefab as a "menu". Adam Kapos mentions the concept on the Unite talk, https://youtu.be/wbmjturGbAQ?t=1654
- Updated segment line drawing for Line Lists. Seems Unity no longer needs UV's to be wrapped manually.
- Updated the AutoCompleteComboBox to display text as entered (instead of all lowercase)
- Updated the ComboBox to display text as entered (instead of all lowercase)
- Updated ComboBox Examples to include programmatic versions
- Further ComboBox improvements including:
* Upwards panel
* Start fixes
* Item Template resize
* Disabled sorting on combobox as it wasn't working
* Disabled Slider handle when not in use
* Updated Example
- Updated the new Input system switch and tested against 2021
Examples can be found either in the UPM package manager window or via the extra downloadable UnityAsset from the Bitbucket site - https://bitbucket.org/UnityUIExtensions/unity-ui-extensions/wiki/Downloads
We recommend using the UPM delivery method. If you are using the Unity asset, there should be no issues updating but if you have a problem, just deleted the old Unity-UI-Extensions folder and import the asset new.
The recommended way to add the Unity UI Extensions project to your solution is to use the Unity package Manager. Simply use the [Unity Package Manager](https://bitbucket.org/UnityUIExtensions/unity-ui-extensions/wiki/UPMInstallation) to reference the project and install it.
Alternatively, you can also use the pre-compiled Unity packages if you wish, however, UPM offers full versioning support to allow you to switch versions as you wish.
- Unity 2018 or lower
The pre-compiled Unity assets are the only solution for Unity 2018 or earlier due to the changes in the Unity UI framework in Unity made for 2019.
Either clone / download this repository to your machine and then copy the scripts in, or use the pre-packaged .UnityPackage for your version of Unity and import it as a custom package in to your project.
All scripts conform to the BSD3 license and are free to use / distribute. See the [LICENSE](https://bitbucket.org/UnityUIExtensions/unity-ui-extensions/wiki/License) file for more information =
As this repo was created to support my new Unity UI Title ["Unity 3D UI Essentials"](http://bit.ly/Unity3DUIEssentials), in the downloads section you will find two custom assets (SpaceShip-DemoScene-Start.unitypackage and RollABallSample-Start.unitypackage). These are just here as starter scenes for doing UI tasks in the book.
Please see the [full downloads list](https://bitbucket.org/UnityUIExtensions/unity-ui-extensions/wiki/Downloads) for all previous releases and their corresponding download links.
