• For first time users, the Hub will now recommend the appropriate LTS Editor version for you to install depending on whether you are using an Apple silicon or Intel machine.

User Interface

• The Hub will now display a warning before closing while a download or install is in progress. When the Hub is closed during a download, the download will be canceled.
• The Hub now surfaces a message informing users which Editor versions are compatible with their Plastic SCM projects and packages.
• Your list of installed Editor versions will sort properly based on version number (versus alphabetically).
• After a user’s session expired and they followed the steps to sign in, the “session expired” modal would still appear in the Hub. We’ve corrected this.

Bug fixes & improvements

Project Creation

• If you come across the ‘Project failed to open’ error modal, you’ll now see a link to the logs folder so that you can quickly view the info-log.json for troubleshooting or to send to support.
• Some users reported that they could not create a project if it had "[x]" in the name (where x is a one-digit number or letter). You can now do this without an issue.

User Interface

• When choosing modules to install with an editor, you can now click anywhere on the row to select instead of having to click the checkbox.
• Text in various areas of the Hub wasn't displaying correctly and was accidentally cut off. We’ve corrected this.

Visual Studio

• Previously, Visual Studio appeared as uninstalled, even if it had been, when you attempted to install a different editor version. This has been fixed.
• We’ve fixed a connected download issue between the Visual Studio and Documentation module when one or the other fails.
• When you are downloading an editor via the archive, the modules selection will now recognize the install state of Visual Studio.
• In some cases, if Visual Studio failed to install, it caused all other modules to fail as well. We’ve fixed this issue.

Windows

• Those on Windows reported that the ‘hovering state’ was not displayed when you hovered over the minimize, maximize, and close buttons. This has been fixed.

MacOS

• Users on MacOS reported an issue that prevented the PATH environment variable from being correctly provided to the editor. This has now been resolved.
• On MacOS, some users reported that when a new editor install failed, it did so without notifying them. We have now added a message to let you know if this happens.
• We’ve fixed a bug on macOS that resulted in IL2CPP clang processes to run as Intel on Apple silicon machines when using an Apple silicon editor. They will now run natively.
