LED Studio Changelog
All notable changes to this package will be documented in this file.
[1.3.1] - 2026-08-07
Section titled “[1.3.1] - 2026-08-07”- The welcome guide now opens once for standalone installations, stays quiet when bundled inside another Wetzold tool, and remains available from the Tools menu.
[1.3.0] - 2026-07-27
Section titled “[1.3.0] - 2026-07-27”- Rebuilt LED Studio, the Board Wizard, welcome screens, and every LED asset and component inspector with polished responsive UI Toolkit layouts.
- Added consistent previews, validation, semantic status messages, compact asset creation, and safer editable lists throughout board, profile, source, playlist, composition, layout, and defect authoring.
- Added an optional UniText 3 integration for multilingual shaping, bidirectional text, fallback fonts, emoji, markup, reusable renderer profiles, and UniText-powered text, timer, and score sources.
- Added focused content, playback, configuration, fault, and diagnostics scripting views.
- Removed mutable board implementation state from the supported scripting surface.
- Fixed a large group of compiler warnings from the LED board scripting API in Unity 2022.3.
- Fixed editor warnings during script reload when optional Text Studio or UniText rendering is installed.
- Fixed edit-mode camera captures initializing an assigned render pipeline before Unity had finished restoring its volume settings.
- Fixed topology and board-body controls not rebuilding generated LED meshes during slider, numeric, toggle, and dropdown edits, which could leave curved boards flat or hide the LED face until another setting changed.
- Fixed the Board Wizard showing an empty preview for Text Studio text and creating Text Studio boards without their required rendering component.
- Fixed internal bitmap text ignoring character spacing, and simplified every text settings inspector to show only the controls supported by the selected renderer.
- Fixed nested LED inspector settings appearing without hierarchy indentation, making complex board configuration sections easier to scan.
[1.2.0] - 2026-06-26
Section titled “[1.2.0] - 2026-06-26”- Added reusable board topology settings for flat, curved, corner, and full 360-degree cylindrical LED boards.
- Added optional board body extrusion so generated LED boards can have physical cabinet depth, side materials, and back materials.
- Added board-level and group-level timing controls for clock mode, update phase, time scaling, maximum delta time, edit-mode ticking, and manual clock control.
- Added source timing controls so content can update every frame, only when changed, at a fixed rate, or only when manually refreshed.
- Added vertical and horizontal text scrolling, manual scroll offsets, seamless wrapping, scroll padding, and distribution controls for ticker-style signs.
- Added text blinking with flash and fade modes, blink rate, on-time, dim alpha, and phase offset controls.
- Added more complete runtime scripting for creating, configuring, and updating LED boards from code.
- Added named content ports and live input binding for programmatic text, images, video, UI Toolkit, timers, scores, and custom sources.
- Improved runtime board geometry controls, including emitter count and density changes, generated mesh refresh, board-body settings, topology assignment, and pointer-to-board hit mapping.
- Added runtime controls for logical backgrounds, presentation backgrounds, live input bindings, source markup parsing, and board suspension.
- Improved generated package asset repair for default LED materials and bundled TextMesh Pro font assets.
- Added optional Text Studio-backed text rendering support when the Text Studio integration package is installed.
- Improved Chart Guru integration guidance for optional scene-component and live-input chart binding.
- Refined the Programmatic API and showcase samples with cleaner setup, live updates, emitter-count examples, generated board forms, and timing examples.
