I woke up this morning wondering how much longer it would be until Unity iPhone 1.1 landed later this week. Tom Higgins, had mentioned an update this week but was mum about the version number. When I woke up this morning and checked the news I was confused by the newswire talk of Unity 1.5 release. At first I thought it was an update to the iPhone pro version and kinda shrugged it off. By this morning the message had gotten louder and was clear- Unity iPhone 1.5 is out and it’s got goodies for days.
You can read about what’s new in Unity iPhone 1.5 on the Unity Technologies blogs. Hilights that caught my eye are as follows.
- Up to 3X faster than 1.03. Though 1.03 was just a security update,1.02 it’s predesescor also provided a boost in performance.
- Full Native Objective C and C++ access- I need to dig deeper into this to fully grasp what power they have unleashed.
- Full Keyboard control and video scripting
- GPS access- I’m thinking Augmented Reality subway Apps in virtual worlds!
- The docs have been improved- The Penelope tutorial and over 100 pages of
iPhone-specific documentation! - Standard iPhone Assets Package
- Better XCode Integration- Ya’ll must’ve heard me whining way over there.
Like I said, there’s much more listed at the Unity Technologies blog. Join the discussion at the Unity iPhone Developer forum and check http://news.infiniteUnity3D.com for more news.
