Full Changelog: 1.3.0...1.3.1

1.3.0

Added

• Integer-hash-based string search! The plugin now prefers finding the strings using an integer hash generated from a string. This is added to hopefully minimize the computational and allocation cost by operating on the key string.
  • The hashing function is FNV-1a, which is provided as an extension method string.Fnv1aHash().
  • If the hashes collide, you can return to the previous string key notation.
  • The I18n Static Labels still make use of the string key notation - the keys are converted into hashes when they are instantiated.
• Option to generate the I18nKeys class whose members are all hash integers.
  • The option to generate the class with string keys remains, but it's deprecated.

Changed

• Referring to the localized string using the string key notation (example.string) from the code is now discouraged.
  • The author strongly recommends using the I18n String Tools to generate the I18nKeys class with its members being hash integers.

Note

This change does NOT fully deprecate the usage of the string key notation, as it is still used for the static labels
and use cases where you want to show a random text from children of a localized string data of a specific key.
Only the usage of the string key notation from the code (i.e., I18nString.For) is deprecated.

Full Changelog: 1.1.5...1.2.0

1.1.5

This update fixes the issue of missing characters when including numbers and symbols and adds the ability to force-include all alphabets (upper and lowercase).

Added

• A new option to the I18n String Tools
  • "Include all alphabets"
    This option adds A-Z and a-z no matter what. If you expect that users will input any alphabet, tick this option.

Fixed

• Made the option in the I18n String Tools "Include numeric (and related) chars" include the same characters TextMeshPro would include when you select the "Numbers + Symbols" option.

Full Changelog: 1.1.4...1.1.5

Added

• Warning when the hash of the current string resource and the hash recorded on the i18n key file do not match.

Quick fixes

This release fixes bugs present in the previous version and optimises some stuff.

Added

Fixed

• String Tools failing to get the characters used in the string resource
