## Update 2019.1 - formally 2.1 - Going with the times
Given that it's been a while since the last release and a fair few number of fixes have been introduced since the last update, it's only fair I get this point release out for the masses.
This is only a point release and we are still working hard on the next full update
No significant concerns, should be able to update over the 2.1 package. If upgrading prior to 2.1, we still recommend removing the UnityUIExtensions folder and then re-importing
----------------
## Update 2.0 - The update so big they had to name it twice
[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ivzt9_jhGfQ "Update 2.0 for the Unity UI Extensions Project")
* Major updates to the Line renderer for texture and positioning support, inc Editor support

* New Fancy Scroll View - A programmatic scroll view
* New UI Line connector control - extends line renderer to draw lines between UI Objects

### Examples / Examples / Examples
Finally added some proper examples, especially for the newer controls.
These can be found in the Examples folder (which can be safely deleted if you wish)
* ColorPicker - shows the Color Picker UI in both SS and WS
* ComboBox - shows all the different combo box controls
* Cooldown - several example implementations of the cooldown button control using Unity image effects and SAUIM
* CurlyUI - shows off the CurlyUI control
* FancyScrollView - the only REAL way to understand this programmatic control (direct from the contributor)
* HSS-VSS-ScrollSnap - several working examples of the HSS/VSS scroll snaps (not ScrollSnap or FancyScrollView), including a full screen variant
* MenuExample - A demo menu implementation showing off the new MenuManager control
* Radial Slider - Just keep on sliding
* ReorderableList - Several examples of the re-orderable list in action, complete with managed drag / drop features
* ScrollConflictManager - Making ScrollRects get along
* SelectionBox - The RTS selector in action, showing examples of selecting 2D and 3D objects
* Serialisation - Unit test case examples for the serialisation components
* TextEffects - All the Text effects and shaders in one easy to view place
* UIlineRenderer - Several demos / examples for using the Line Renderer and UI Line connector controls
* UIVerticalScrollerDemo - A full screen example of a UIVertical Scroller implementation.
### Fixes
* H&V Scroll Snap Next/Previous Button interactable handler (only enables when there is a child to move to)
* H&V Scroll Snap Swipe logic updated and now includes scaling support
* Editor options for non-drawing graphic control
* Events in ComboBox, Dropdown and autocomplete controls updated to use UI events
* UIFlippable "Argument out of Range" bigfix (pesky component orders with effects)
* All primitive controls will now redraw when enabled in code
* Autocomplete has two lookup text methods now, Array and Linq
* Line renderer pivot fix (now respects the pivot point)
* TextPic rendering and event updates
* Minor tweaks to the UIParticle system to remove "upgrade" errors. Still needs a rework tbh
* Clean up of all unnecessary usings (swept under the rug)
### Known issues
Serialisation functionality has been removed due to several incompatibilities between platforms, suggest the UniversalSerialiser as an alternative. May bring back if there is demand. (or copy out the source from the previous release)
## Upgrade Notes
With this being a major version update, it is recommended to remove the old UI Extensions folder before importing the new asset.
>**Note** In Unity 5.5 the particle system was overhauled and several methods were marked for removal. However, the UI Particle System script currently still uses them
> Either ignore these errors or remove the *_UIParticleSystem_* script in the "*Unity UI Extensions / Scripts / Effects*" folder
* Soft Alpha Mask updated in line with SAUI 1.3 release
* Line Renderer has had a complete overhaul, including full programmatic support, Line list and Bezier line rendering
* Horizontal and Vertical Scroll Snaps updated to include a Starting page, current page and transition speed parameters. Plus a new GoToPage, Add and Remove page functions
* Added some script helper functions for LZF compression and Serialization
* Two utilities to help manage drag thresholds on high PPI systems
[](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpyFiRvSmbg "Update 1.0.6 for the Unity UI Extensions Project")
* Added the awesome ReOrderable List control, plus some other minor bugfixes / changes.
* Added a new version of the Scroll Snap control as an alternative to the fixed versions.
* New set of controls including some shader enhanced solutions
* I've added a donate column to the lists. If you are getting great use out of a control, help out the dev who created it. Optional of course. Will update with links as I get them.
Few minor fixes and a couple of additional scripts. Predominately created the new 5.3 branch to maintain the UI API changes from the 5.2.1 Patch releases. 5.3 package is 100% compatible with 5.2.1 Patch releases.

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 BSD license and are free to use / distribute. See the [LICENSE](https://bitbucket.org/UnityUIExtensions/unity-ui-extensions/src/6d03f25b0150994afa97c6a55854d6ae696cad13/LICENSE?at=default) 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.
I will add more sample scenes for the UI examples in this repository and detail them above over time.
