Hi,

I know that this question has already been asked but do you have an estimation time for the Unity SDK release?
Thank you.

Today we are dropping a new beta, but only for C++. We are actively working in the Unity package, we hope to release the first beta 'soon' (weeks no months).

Thanks for your patience.

Awesome! Thanks for the hard work fixing all these issues!
Exposing XamlReader is a big deal too - I can imagine all the nice runtime renders that come for (nearly) free with it!

Curious how it will perform in Unity. I'm also waiting for the Unity version, but please take your time - better to have solid quality than rushed out version. I'll likely wait for another 2 weeks/1 month before fully adopting the new version, just to be on the safe side anyway.
Quality >>> quantity every day :)

I'm glad to see so many enhancements and fixes!
Perhaps it's time to release C# SDK public beta? :-)

There are still a few things we need to close before moving the C# SDK to a public beta. We are also going to put it in NuGet. But meanwhile, as you know 😉, people can ask for a version privately.

We are close to a Release Candidate. These upcoming days we are going to release versions more frequently, it is a good opportunity to solve your issues faster. So, please, even if the Unity package still don't have all the platforms (next release will include everything) help us to polite since the beginning testing everything you can.

THANKS a lot!

Re: [BETA] NoesisGUI v2.2.0b6

Wow, I *love* the fixes in this release - thanks!!
Specifically:
> Enhancement Unity New XAML importer, faster and more robust
This will hopefully speed up app startup time, currently Noesis accounts for 2-4 seconds (more on slower phones that some customers complained about)
Edit: just checked one of the worst cases is 8s on Snapdragon 400 (where the customer complaint was filed 2/12 on Android)

> Enhancement Unity IME implemented in Unity (#1243 #1264 #1213)
We've had customer issues with Bengali and Sinhala languages, looking forward to trying new version.
"There is problem in typing text in sinhala language.when I typed in like this යන්නේ" -> customer report from yesterday (2/18) on Android

> Enhancement Unity Textures marked with label 'Noesis' converted to premultiplied-alpha.
This will speed up our workflow immensely hopefully - we now have 600+ assets that we duplicate and re-code on every change just to work OK with Noesis.

> Enhancement Unity Added a panel for realtime stats in play mode.
This is very useful during performance testing

> Enhancement Unity Support for rendering UI only when changed
A big one, after 2 years of workarounds (some of which still causing about 1 bug each month or so), very excited to try it out!
Hopefully it works well with animations/etc.

> Enhancement Correctly implemented HitTest with filter and result callbacks matching WPF.
A huge one as well - I can't count how many times clicks wouldn't work so I'd have to spend sometimes hours to fix a but due to HitTest-ing.

Huge thanks!!! to the Unity team!
Will try 2.2 beta6 in Unity very soon.
