1.39.0

Major Fixes and Changes

Python 3.10 Development Support

We updated the Genvid MILE SDK to install and use Python 3.10, by default. Although the SDK still supports Python 3.8, we recommend upgrading to Python 3.10.

Unity and Unreal Editor Plugin Deprecation

We are planning to deprecate the Editor plugins for both Unity and Unreal Engine.

In preparation for this change, we converted the Unreal Genvid Editor module into its own plugin and decoupled it from the GenvidPlugin. We also converted the Unreal Genvid module into its own plugin, now called Genvid Blueprint.

We will remove both the Unity and Unreal editor-module plugins in an upcoming release.

Use the Genvid MILE SDK web interface for the same streaming-service controls as the Editor plugins.

Unity and Unreal Plugin SDK Version Independence

You can now specify what SDK source to use when using either the Unity or Unreal plugins in your project.

For Unreal, you can set SDK directory paths using the engine-integration\ue4\copy-ue4-plugin.py script.

For Unity, you can use the new Genvid SDK Window in the editor to switch versions.
