BuildingHotReloadForUnity Versions Save

• Added more Unit Tests to ensure various code patterns can be rewritten correctly
• Added Watch Only Specific Files and Folders mode (contributed by GhatSmith)
• Added better Odin support for dynamically added fields (contributed by GhatSmith)
• Updated Roslyn lib version to 4.6.0 for better code parsing (contributed by SamPruden)
• Improved error handling for code parsing (contributed by SamPruden)
• Added Custom-File-Watcher implementation (for cases where standard FileWatcher API is causing issues) (contributed by D0rkKnight)

• you can now import FSR as a package from github page
• hot-reloading internal interfaces / classes would no longer cause compilation error
• OnScriptHotReload method can be added at runtime
• builder functions will be correctly rewritten
• hot reload status (red / green) will be visible in project panel next to changed script
• compilation error reporting will be much improved, project panel will allow to click error next to actual file for more details and workarounds
• all type declarations that were appended with _Patched postfix to avoid name collisions will also have all corresponding identifiers changed
• OnScriptHotReload methods will also be called in editor-workflow

1.4

• added experimental editor-mode hot-reload, you'll need to opt in via Start Screen -> Editor Hot-Reload (please read the notes on that page, playmode workflow is still far superior)
• you can now define User Script Rewrite Overrides - which will allow you to overcome most of existing limitations that cause compilation errors (on a one by one basis)
• big optimization in how long hot-reload part will take, first call will be unaffected when type cache is build but subsequent calls will be significantly quicker
• added 'Exclude References' options - this allows to remove specific dll references from dynamically compiled code (as in some cases you may get 'type defined in both assembly x.dll and y.dll'
• destructors will no longer cause compilation error
• (options opt-in) script rewriting can optionally emit comment - why change was made to help with troubleshooting issues
• Unity assembly reload can be forced off via LockAssemblyReload if specified in options - sometimes even though Auto-Refresh is turned off Editor still tries to recompile changes in playmode which prevents FSR from working
• new fields support (experimental) will be enabled by default

1.3 - (Experimental) - New fields added in playmode

• New fields can be added and used in code
• New fields can be adjusted in editor (same as standard fields)
• New fields will be initialized to whatever value is specified in code or default value
• Experimental feature - at this stage expect some issues
• Opt-in - disabled by default to enable go to 'Window -> Fast Script Reload -> Start Screen -> New Fields -> enable'

1.2 - Debugger support

• Added debugger support (see documentation)

1.1 - Mac support / bug fixes

• Added Mac support (only INTEL editor version, SILICON still not supported)
• Added Linux support
• fixed namespace clash with Unity.Collections package
• common code lib will not be included in builds
• added check for auto-refresh in Editor - will proide guidance and option to adjust as otherwise full editor reload is triggered for changes
• added workaround for Unity file-watcher returning wrong file path on some editor versions
• added option to allow disabling DidFieldCountCheck - allowing to detour methods in those cases (eg for Mirror where it'll adjust IL and cause mismatch)
• added option to configure FileWatcher paths/filters as in some cases watching root directory was causing performance issues
• added minor initial-load optimisations - using session-state for items that do not need to be resolved on every reload

1.0 - First release, included features:

• Fast script reload in editor / play-mode (compiles only changed files and hot-reloads them into current play session)
