Release Notes​

5 November 2024 - Version 1.7.11

Added

Improved

  • Many filters use less GPU memory by freeing intermediate textures.
  • All filters produce less garbage and do less work when being enabled/disabled by instead only destroying some resources in OnDestroy().
  • All filters have improved support for rendering in RenderMode.WorldSpace.
  • Editor preferences now have the options per-platform, making it easier to enable features like TextMeshPro support on multiple platforms.

Fixed

  • Fixed a rare bug where a stack of filters with the same shader (like UIFX/Blend) wouldn't detect a parent shader change in GetModifiedMaterial() due to them having the same shader.
11 September 2024 - Version 1.7.10

Improved

  • The feature to bake filters into an Image component has been improved and released out of beta.
  • The feature to save filters to PNG image file has been improved and released out of beta.
3 September 2024 - Version 1.7.9

Added

  • Added a handy new "Upgrade" button if the UIFX Bundle is not detected.

Improved

  • Various minor code improvements.
14 August 2024 - Version 1.7.8

Highlight: 🚀 Lots of Improvements for TextMeshPro Support!​

Improved

  • Optimised FilterStackTextMeshPro to no longer render invisible filters to TextMeshPro (eg if Strength <= 0.0 or other parameters result in no rendering).
  • Optimised FilterStackTextMeshPro to reduce the number of RenderTextures in some cases.
  • FilterStackTextMeshPro editor on newer Unity versions now shows our custom Reorderablelist.
  • FilterStackTextMeshPro editor + button now shows list of filters.

Fixed

  • Fixed bug where disabling TextmeshPro didn't stop FilterStackTextMeshPro rendering.
  • Fixed bug in FilterStackTextMeshPro when using "in-context" prefab editor and nothing would render.
  • Fixed FilterStackTextMeshPro editor where in older Unity versions empty filter slots woudln't be cleared cleanly.
  • Fixed a regression in FilterStackTextMeshPro editor where the filter list item selection was broken.
4 August 2024 - Version 1.7.7

Improved

  • FilterStackTextMeshPro now has toggle for quickly enabling/disabling filters and delayed attribute for font relative size.
  • FilterStackTextMeshPro has reduced memory usage in cases where second RenderTexture is not needed.

Fixed

  • Fixed Reset() and OnValidate() sometimes not updating the rendering due frame caching optimisation.
28 July 2024 - Version 1.7.6

Fixed

  • Fixed all effects and filters not restoring rendering when Canvas was disabled initially and then enabled.
18 July 2024 - Version 1.7.5

Improved

  • Filter Stack TextMeshPro has many quality of life improvements.
  • All UIFX filters now have helpful warning messages and solution buttons when used with TextMeshPro but without a FilterStackTextMeshPro component.
  • Added new UpdateOnTransform property to FilterStackTextMeshPro to prevent re-rendering caused by transforms which improves performance if you don't require re-rendering.

Changed

  • Changed TextMeshPro support to now read in vertices from the meshInfo.mesh instead of meshInfo.vertices which seems to work better with many other plugins that transform vertex positions.

Fixed

  • Fixed bug with in-context Prefab Mode where UIFX filters wouldn't render.
1 July 2024 - Version 1.7.4

Breaking Changes

  • The blur algorithm has changed slightly so any existing blurs in your project will be roughly half the size. To fix this your existing Blur property values for Blur Filter, Drop Shadow Filter, Outline Filter and Gooey Filter should be doubled.

Changed

  • MultiBox blur changed from 3 to 2 passes resulting in a performance increase. This affects all filter components that use blurs internally.
  • Gooey Filter now runs at half resolution resulting in a performance increase.
  • Filter Stack TextMeshPro now renders to a non-floating point texture format on Mobile devices resulting in a performance increase.
  • Demo scenes refactored and now use Prefabs.
  • Some refactoring and general code improvements

Fixed

16 June 2024 - Version 1.7.3

Improved

  • Added optimisation to call GenerateScreenRect() less often.
  • Removed some unnecessary GetComponent() calls.
  • Changed to more correct method to get parent Canvas.

Fixed

6 June 2024 - Version 1.7.2

Fixed

31 May 2024 - Version 1.7.1

Added

24 May 2024 - Version 1.7.0

Added

  • Added "Convert To Image" button to automatically bake all the filters into a texture and replace them with a RawImage component. This is a beta feature and must be enabled in UIFX preferences.

Fixed

  • Fixed some compiler warnings.
10 May 2024 - Version 1.6.9

Added

  • Added support for Canvas.vertexColorAlwaysGammaSpace for TextMeshPro rendering
  • Added support for TextMeshPro.tintAllSprites for TextMeshPro rendering

Fixed

3 May 2024 - Version 1.6.8

Fixed

  • Fixed incorrect rendering of filters when Graphic has user defined material
  • Fixed bug where Prefab view wouldn't render filters due to null Canvas
  • Fixed bug where changing hierarchy could use incorrect Canvas in filters
  • Fixed bug where undo could cause null exception in filters
30 April 2024 - Version 1.6.6

Improved

  • Several optimisations for memory usage, code performance and garbage reduction

Fixed

  • Fixed rare bug in filter rendering logic, where mid-frame dynamic font texture update would cause mesh regeneration, which would cause incorrect rendering due to optimisation that prevented multiple renders per-frame
20 April 2024 - Version 1.6.2

Improved

  • Clearer TextMeshPro filter rendering
  • All Strength property sliders improved to change color when activated
  • Shader code cleaned up
  • Tested with SoftMaskForUGUI
