PathfindingLib

Version 0.1.1

• Fixed an issue that would cause partial paths passed to NavMeshQueryUtils.FindStraightPath to result in a final corner at the destination.
• Changed the new overloads of NavMeshQueryUtils.FindStraightPath to use Vector3 instead of float3, as the Unity runtime assumes the memory layout matches Vector3 internally.

Version 0.1.0

• Made NavMeshQueryUtils.FindStraightPath call through to the Unity runtime instead of reimplementing the algorithm. The results should now match the output from NavMeshPath.corners perfectly.
• Deprecated the original overload of NavMeshQueryUtils.FindStraightPath in favor of one that requires less allocations to match the native Unity function's signature.

Version 0.0.14

• Fixed a small leak of single-element arrays in FindPathJob.

Version 0.0.13

• Reduced allocations by deprecating the reference-type NavMeshReadLocker in favor of a new value-type version in the Utilities namespace.

Version 0.0.12

• Added some more flexible safeties to NavMeshLock to help avoid deadlocks.

Version 0.0.11

• Reverted unreliable NavMeshLock safeties that were causing exceptions when apparently taking read locks on the main thread.

Version 0.0.10

• Fixed pathfinding jobs not functioning properly in release builds.

Version 0.0.9

• Added some extra checks to help ensure NavMeshLock that is used safely.
• Made TogglableProfilerAuto methods public.

Version 0.0.8

• Fixed an issue where FindPathJob was not taking the read lock at the start of the job, but would later take the lock without releasing it, which could result in deadlocks.

Version 0.0.7

• Reduced blocking of the main thread by hooking into the Unity runtime to detect when carving obstacles will make changes to the navmesh.
• Changed documentation to recommend using NavMeshQuery.UpdateFindPath() with an iteration limit, and unlocking the navmesh read between calls.

Version 0.0.6

• Prevented API users releasing null PooledFindPathJob back to the pool to avoid null error spam.

Version 0.0.5

• Reverted an unintentional change to the plugin's GUID string.

Version 0.0.4

• Made the plugin GUID public for convenient hard dependency setup.

Version 0.0.3

• Renamed the Plugin class to PathfindingLibPlugin.

Version 0.0.2

• Replaced the icon with a new placeholder that will totally not stay indefinitely...

Version 0.0.1

Initial version. Public-facing API includes:

• FindPathJob: A simple job to find a valid path for an agent to traverse between a start and end position.
• JobPools: A static class providing pooled FindPathJob instances that can be reused by any API users.
• NavMeshLock: Provides methods to prevent crashes when running pathfinding off the main thread.
• PathfindingJobSharedResources: A static class that provides a NativeArray<NavMeshQuery> that can be passed to a job to access a thread-specific instance of NavMeshQuery.
• AgentExtensions.GetAgentPathOrigin(this NavMeshAgent): Gets the position that paths originating from an agent should start from. This avoids pathing failure when crossing links.
• Pathfinding.FindStraightPath(...): Gets a straight path from the result of a NavMeshQuery.
