Community Contributions

• Enhanced StageAssemblies PipelineJob with AssemblyDefinition asset support:
  • Implemented AllowUnsafeCode setting support
  • Added AdditionalCompilerArguments passthrough
  • Thanks to @Scheshi for this improvement.

Important Notes

While not a breaking change, this update may affect project behavior:

• AssemblyDefinition settings that were previously ignored will now be respected:
  • Additional compiler arguments
  • Unsafe code settings
• Review your assembly definitions if you notice any compilation changes

Fixes and Improvements

• Fixed the Thunderstore Package Installer extension not forcing latest dependencies when "ForceLatestDependencies" was overriden to "true"

To improve the performance of PackageSource initialization PackageGroup and PackageVersion have been changed to no longer derive from ScriptableObject.

This change necessitated modifying PackageVersion by removing the PackageGroup group field and replacing it with a string, groupDependencyId. This field can be used to look up the PackageGroup object instead of using a reference, preventing a serialization loop.

Fixes and Improvements

• Fixed the import of ProjectSettings which had been broken during the update to AssetsTools v3.
