PUN 2
As of now, PUN 2 is in the Asset Store. There are two packages (free and plus) which contain the same content, so everyone can just get and use the Free package. Upgrading PUN 1.xy Plus to PUN 2 can be done with PUN 2 Free. Get the Plus package only, if you use PUN 2 Free already and want to get a 100 CCU subscription for a one time fee.
What's new?! PUN 2 has a new structure and comes in just one "root" folder. We cleaned up the naming of many classes, fields and interfaces and there is a new callback system. We created new demos and are in the process of re-writing the documentation (note the v2 in the link). Currently the API reference is only in the package (see the PDF or CHM files). Updating existing projects will be quite some work. Here are the migration notes we took.
Existing subscriptions (e.g. of a previously purchased PUN Plus) can be used with PUN 2. There is no upgrade fee or such! If you got an existing 100 CCU subscription, you can use that. Existing AppIDs can be used in PUN 2 (and vice versa).
Why a second package then?! PUN 2 wraps up a lot of internal refactoring and includes multiple breaking changes for existing PUN projects. As we don't want to break existing projects, PUN 2 got separate packages.
Should I update? Bigger or almost complete projects should probably stick with PUN "Classic". We will keep that package around and update it but we probably won't add more features. Projects starting recently or soon, should use PUN 2.
Something is broken, right?! We tested PUN 2 in early access and with our demos but of course, there can be bugs. When reporting issues in PUN 2, please make sure to tell us you're using PUN 2 already. Reply here or mail to: developer@photonengine.com. Or post in this forum!
Why no upgrade for PUN 1 Plus?! We were unsure if we could still update the old package when we setup an upgrade path in the Asset Store. What's more important: After using the Upgrade, you would not be able to get PUN 1 Plus anymore, updated or not. So we keep things separate for the time being.
Hope you all enjoy!
