[2023] 2022-2023 Unturned Changelogs

All of the changelogs from the 8th anniversary (2022-07-07) through the 9th (2023-07-07) merged in one place!

I thought it might be interesting to see all of the updates in one place, albeit slightly difficult to read. The Added and Changed sections in particular may contain some useful features that were easy to miss unless you scoured every single news post. I removed a few redundant changes like Unity versions that were reverted.

There are some behind-the-scenes changes that never got mentioned because they’re irrelevant to anyone except me, for example cosmetics fully use GUIDs rather than legacy IDs now. GUID support is still the limiting factor on new vanilla content, but progress steadily ticks away there.

I think a big turning point will be when/if I rewrite the inventory/item features. I avoid API-breaking changes as much as possible, but there was a suggestion earlier this year that it could be worth breaking plugins to completely overhaul items, we’ll see what happens with that.

Several long-term low-level problems were tackled like removing the devkit and speeding up asset loading. I viewed these as fundamentally broken the way they were, so it’ll be nice to move onto “improvement” low-level problems like better replication culling, translations, save system, etc in the future.

Now that Buak is released I think some of the “boring” changes become clearer as new features, even if not much vanilla content was added this past year.

All of the changelogs from the 8th anniversary (2022-07-07) through the 9th (2023-07-07) merged in one place!

I thought it might be interesting to see all of the updates in one place, albeit slightly difficult to read. The Added and Changed sections in particular may contain some useful features that were easy to miss unless you scoured every single news post. I removed a few redundant changes like Unity versions that were reverted.

There are some behind-the-scenes changes that never got mentioned because they’re irrelevant to anyone except me, for example cosmetics fully use GUIDs rather than legacy IDs now. GUID support is still the limiting factor on new vanilla content, but progress steadily ticks away there.

I think a big turning point will be when/if I rewrite the inventory/item features. I avoid API-breaking changes as much as possible, but there was a suggestion earlier this year that it could be worth breaking plugins to completely overhaul items, we’ll see what happens with that.

Several long-term low-level problems were tackled like removing the devkit and speeding up asset loading. I viewed these as fundamentally broken the way they were, so it’ll be nice to move onto “improvement” low-level problems like better replication culling, translations, save system, etc in the future.

Now that Buak is released I think some of the “boring” changes become clearer as new features, even if not much vanilla content was added this past year.
