Full Changelog: 2.0.2...2.1.0

This is mostly api updates

• Move one of channeled Send method from LiteNetPeer to NetPeer
• Move channeled SendToAll from LiteNetManager to NetManager
• Add "new" NetPeer FirstPeer property to NetManager
• Also add IEnumerable<NetPeer> to NetManager

Full Changelog: 2.0.0...2.0.2

What's Changed

• Set C# language version to 8 and minimal .net version to netstandard2.1

• Add simplified and faster LiteNetManager with LiteNetPeer which has 1 reliable-ordered channel, 1 reliable-unordered, 1 sequenced channel (and unreliable channel) which is enough for many cases. ReliableSequenced channel is same as reliable-ordered in LiteNetPeer (where old NetManager can have more than 1 channel per DeliveryMethod as before and fully support ReliableSequenced channels for very specific use-cases)

• Ntp requests now only supported in full NetManager

• Merge additional listener interfaces into INetEventListener with default empty implementation. Merged methods:

  • OnMessageDelivered
  • OnNtpResponse
  • OnPeerAddressChanged

• Add reliable packet merging which drastically increase speed of ReliableOrdered and ReliableUnordered channels when sending many small packets

• Fix .net8 receive bug #552

• Add Configurable Resend packet delay for reliable packets (#567)

• Remove not threadsafe ConnectedPeerList. Add GetConnectedPeers instead. Fix #584

• Increment packet loss in reliable channel only when there is pending packets. Fix #564

• Optimizations and some additional protections

• Simplify code using Spans and remove old #ifdefs for older .net versions

Full Changelog: 1.3.5...2.0.0

What's Changed

• Fixed typos in readme by @AldeRoberge in #576
• Fix NativeAddress update bug in FinishEndPointChange method by @Niaobu in #578
• Support for connecting and writing span of bytes by @popcron in #577
• Feature: Allow simulating outbound networking by @Niaobu in #579
• Add incoming fragments limit
• Prevent unnecessary allocations in NetManager.ProcessNtpRequests
• Drop net471 in nuget packet (but it will work from source)
• Some little additions to NetDataWriter/NetDataReader

New Contributors

• @AldeRoberge made their first contribution in #576
• @Niaobu made their first contribution in #578

Full Changelog: 1.3.1...1.3.5

Changes in 1.3.1

• Fix crash when sending Merged byte without data
• Add .net8 and .net7 targets (and nuget variants) to support specific features
• Remove .net5 target because EOL. You can use .NET Standard for .net5.

Changes in 1.3.0

• Stop running NetManagers in Unity in OnApplicationQuit (when using library source code)
• Disable MTU discovery by default because some routers can break detection and connection in result. Remove UseSafeMtu (for this just use MtuOverride). To enable MTU discovery set NetManager.MtuDiscovery to true
• Add optional argument max processed events into PollEvents and ManualReceive (fix #528)
• Add methods to serialize and deserialize array of nested INetSerializable into NetDataReader/Writer
• Add GUID serialization to NetDataWriter/Reader and NetSerializer/NetPacketProcessor
• Add SendUnconnectedMessage with ReadOnlySpan argument
• Add NetDataWriter.AsReadOnlySpan()
• Add GetRemainingBytesMemory method to NetDataReader. (fix #560)
• Make PeerTimers and ElapsedMilliseconds as float (fix #521)
• Improve NetDataWriter/Reader strings.
• Add PutLargeString (with int size) and GetLargeString into NetDataWriter/Reader
• Fix ObjectDisposedException with Native Sockets (fix #542)
• Lock unreliable channel only if there is pending packets
• Unreliable packets optimization

For installation in typical .NET project use nuget package
For Unity use sources zip and copy directory LiteNetLib to your project
