Breaking Changes

• Removed clientAccess from the AddPlayerLifecycleComponents signature. We now construct the client access attribute within the helper.

Added

• Added a static helper in the EntityTemplate class to construct worker access attributes. See the API docs for more info.
• Added an optional callback as an argument to the RequestPlayerCreation method in SendCreatePlayerRequestSystem. This callback is invoked upon receiving a response to a player creation request.
• Added a new Query-based interest helper module, com.improbable.gdk.querybasedinteresthelper.
  • InterestTemplate provides functionality to ergonomically add, replace and clear queries from an Interest component.
  • InterestQuery reduces boilerplate code required to construct interest queries.
  • Constraint contains static methods to easily create constraints for an interest query.
• Added a Improbable.Gdk.Core.Collections.Result<T, E> struct to represent a result which can either contain a value T or an error E.
• Added Scripting Define Symbol DISABLE_REACTIVE_COMPONENTS. Using this symbol will disable all reactive components and systems.
• Added a WorkerFlagReader which you can subscribe and Require. This allows you to:
  • Add callbacks for changes to worker flags.
  • Read the value of worker flags.

Changed

• The player lifecycle module now dynamically queries for PlayerCreator entities, and sends requests to a random one each time. This removes the reliance on a hardcoded PlayerCreator Entity ID.
• Removed the Type suffix from player lifecycle schema types.
• RedirectedProcess.RunAsync() now takes a CancellationToken? as a parameter. This token can be used to cancel the underlying process.
• Updated the Unity version to 2018.3.11

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where player creation requests could retry infinitely without logging failure.
• Fixed an issue where if you called RedirectedProcess.Command(...) in a non-main thread, it would throw an exception.
• Fixed an issue where having the same name for a schema package and a schema component would lead to generating invalid code.

Internal

• Tools package now uses PackageManager API instead of parsing manifest.json.
• Updated default snapshot to have more than one PlayerCreator entity.
• Fixed package dependencies.
• Worker flag changes are propagated to the ViewDiff.
• Exposed GetWorkerFlag(string name) on the View.
