v1.0.2

Patch notes:

• Current UAssetAPI commit is atenfyr/UAssetAPI@46c4fbf.
• Added menu options in the file container window to allow adjusting the target path when staging a file.
• Removed the "Stage..." menu option in the main window. If you wish to stage an asset from disk, you should use the "Stage from disk..." functionality within the file container window instead.
• Normalized the mount point within the file container window for clarity by enforcing a standard mount point of "../../../".
• Fixed a bug where certain IO edge cases while staging assets could cause the application to crash.
• Fixed a bug where not refreshing before switching nodes after removing rows would lead to a failure to save from null entries being stored into the asset.
• Fixed a bug where Soft Package References could not be modified without causing a crash.
• Fixed a bug where arrow keys could not be used to navigate the tree view when the "Double click to edit" feature is disabled.
• Fixed a bug where a crash would occur when attempting to import mappings under the same name as a set of mappings already on disk; the old mappings are now overriden.
• Fixed a bug where the fallback to RawStructProperty did not work properly and implemented a notification in UAssetGUI upon opening an asset in which RawStructProperty data are present.
• Fixed a bug where EnumProperties backed by integer types would not properly store the first enum entry when serialized as zero.
• Fixed a bug where EnumProperties not backed by integer types were improperly stored using dummy FNames for assets with unversioned properties.
• Fixed a bug where the package file summary was read incorrectly for UE 5.1+ editor-only assets.
• Fixed a bug where JSON package file summary binary equality was not maintained for UE 5.1+ assets (although this had no real effect on compatibility).

v1.0.1

Patch notes (since last alpha release):

• Current UAssetAPI commit is atenfyr/UAssetAPI@071dbe2.
• Implemented basic .pak container reading/writing support (using the repak crate by @trumank).
• Implemented basic support for uncooked assets.
• Implemented support for traditional UE 5.3 assets (not IO store/Zen).
• Added support for assets to access other imported assets during serialization.
• Added support for newer versions of the community-standard .usmap format, along with Zstandard compression for this format.
• Added support for UserDefinedStruct and ScriptStruct exports.
• Added support for additional FProperty types (used in BlueprintGeneratedClass serialization).
• Added additional property types.
• Added additional FText history types.
• Fixed a major bug where UAssetGUI would add new extraneous entries to the name map for assets with unversioned properties.
• Fixed a major bug where UAssetGUI's Find operation would malfunction for nodes that are not expanded beforehand, leading to the tree view to become invisible until restart.
• Fixed a bug where UAssetGUI would duplicate MapProperty subnodes.
• Fixed additional serialization bugs.
• Added settings to restore the window size on open and to disable the update notice popup on launch.
• Overhauled the "About" menu.

This release is a result of the combined efforts of many individuals, including @LongerWarrior, @trumank, @rndtrash, @narknon, and myself (@atenfyr). Thank you all for your efforts to keep UAssetGUI moving forward!

• Added a toggleable setting for .bak file generation.
• Added better delegate property support (@bananaturtlesandwich).

• Updated the copyright year to 2023.

Today is the three-year anniversary of UAssetAPI, so it's a good time for me to finally announce my retirement from the Unreal Engine modding scene and from developing UAssetGUI. There may be more contributions and releases for UAssetGUI and UAssetAPI in the future, but if there are, they will not be done by me. I will forever be grateful to all the wonderful people who I have had the honor of working with for these past three years for being good friends and good co-contributors (in particular, thank you to Megalith, trumank, LongerWarrior, Narknon, Buckminsterfullerene, Archengius, and Heilos - you're all awesome!) and to the people who have given feedback, reported bugs, provided sample assets, and submitted pull requests. As silly as it might sound, I don't think I would be the same person without all of you. Thank you for everything!
