Unity 4.3 is finally released… yes, this is the one with 2D

 

I know this is a release that many people have been waiting for, the Unity version with out of the box support for 2D.

 

So, what’s in this release:

  • 2D, including tools for making sprites, scene population, physics and animation. Pro version includes automatic texture atlas generation and alpha cut outs.
  • Mecanim improvements. New keyframe based dopesheet, drive blend shapes, and perhaps most import, full scriptability of the animation system.
  • MonoDevelop 4.0.1 support.  MonoDevelop 4 is loads better, so this is nice.
  • iOS new features include Game Controller support, OpenGL ES3
  • Windows 8 support for the trial api for try before buy enabling your game
  • Support for Plastic SCM version control software
  • Pro Only feature – nav mesh can now be altered at runtime
  • A lot of smaller improvements

 

You can see the new 2D workflow in the video below:
