Unity 4.1.2

The Unity 4.1.2 release brings you Web Player features and fixes. Read the release notes below for details.

Note that in Unity 4.1.1 an issue was causing Asset Store packages to fail. In 4.1.2, UnityEngine.dll and UnityEditor.dll are no longer signed/strong-named, and compiled assemblies can now reference the UnityEditor and UnityEngine namespaces again.

The Unity 4.1.1 release notes have been combined with the Unity 4.1.2 notes below.

For more information about the previous main release, see the Unity 4.1 Release Notes.

Release notes

Features

  • Web Player: Secret information can now be injected into a running web player via Javascript, with access to that information controlled by cryptographic signatures. Security.GetChainOfTrustValue can be used to retrieve this secret information, provided that the Security object is called from an assembly whose cryptographic signature is valid and matches the signature passed in when the secret is injected. For further information, see the Manual.

Improvements

  • Android: Stylus support .
  • UI: Windows can now be displayed modally using the GUI.ModalWindow call. Modal windows appear on top of all other Unity GUI elements and prevent interaction with all Unity GUI elements not within the modal window while open. Only one modal window can be open during a frame.

Values stored in the Chain of Trust are still only accessible to assemblies signed with the specified public key.
  • Webplayer: Fixes a bug where using the WWW class in the web player would cause 50ms hiccups for each instance.
