Optimization & Transport Changes

This release no longer features LiteNetLib as a Built-in transport. You can still use it by downloading the LiteNetLib transport from the "SampleTransports" folder. It does many optimizations and replaces byte[] usage with BitWriter & BitReader. The BitReader & BitWriter are now pooled for greater performance.

Features & Bugfixes

This release fixes many minor bugs.

It also adds

• An observer system
• SyncedVars now sync on spawn
• Custom transports are now supported. LiteNetLib supported out of the box
• Internally the MLAPI now uses BitWriter instead of byte arrays

Command & Rpc

This release fixes a critical issue causing more than 2 players to not properly function.

It also adds a command & rpc attribute messaing system, see the wiki.

It also adds small improvements to the BitWriter to make it faster and more compact.

SyncedVar & Installer Fix

This release fixes some issues regarding the installer. It's now packaged separately. You now only have to import the Installer and let the editor window handle the rest.

It also fixes some issues regarding SyncedVars and removed some heap allocations when calling isLocalPlayer

BitWriter & Target SyncedVar

This release replaces all internal Binary serialization with the new BitWriter. See the wiki for more info

First stable

This is the first "stable" release. It comes with an Editor script that is used to install, update and manage what MLAPI version is installed. This release includes many major changes. The Editor scripts are now required and will be included when installing the Editor script.
