Versions and updates
The release version of the Hive Axyl SDK is the package version that is applied identically to all Hive Axyl packages. When a new version is released, packages without changes are also released together with the same version.
Even if you install only the packages you need, the only officially supported configuration is a combination in which all installed Hive Axyl packages have the same version. The SDK and Unity Package Manager do not check whether the versions match, so after you update, check them yourself by following Verify the update. For details, see Version rules.
How to update
When you update to a new version, read the notes before updating, change the package versions, and then check that all Hive Axyl packages have changed to the new version.
1. Check the notes before updating
The notes before updating describe the changes that require you to modify existing code and how to modify it. Read all the notes for each version, from the version after the one you currently use up to the version you are updating to. For example, if you update from 1.0.0 to 3.0.0, you must read the notes for 2.0.0 and 3.0.0. For versions without notes, you do not need to modify your code.
2. Change package versions
Unity also records packages installed in the Editor in Packages/manifest.json. Therefore, regardless of how you installed the packages, change the package versions in the following order.
- In
dependenciesof Packages/manifest.json, change the versions of all packages that start withcom.com2usplatform.hiveaxylto the new version. - Return to the Unity Editor and wait until Unity Package Manager loads the new version of the packages.
3. Verify the update
In Packages/packages-lock.json, check that the version of every package that starts with com.com2usplatform.hiveaxyl is the new version. This file also includes Hive Axyl packages that you did not list in Packages/manifest.json but that were installed together with other packages. The cases in which each package is installed together are as follows.
com.com2usplatform.hiveaxyl.steamworks: When you installed the Steam login Add-on or the Steam payment Add-oncom.com2usplatform.hiveaxyl.core: When you installed a feature module or Add-on without listing this package in Packages/manifest.json
If any package is still on the previous version, check that Packages/manifest.json has no Hive Axyl package still listed with the previous version.
