📜 Changes

Changed

• Dependency DLLs are now aliased to prevent compilation errors with Burst.
  • In v2.2.2, Yarn Spinner's dependency DLLs were renamed to have the prefix Yarn. to prevent errors when two DLLs of the same name (e.g. Google.Protobuf.dll) are present in the same project.
  • This fix solved the edit-time problem, but introduced a new error when the project used Unity's Burst compiler, which looks for DLL files based on their assembly name.
  • When compiling with Burst, Unity looks for the DLL file based on the name of the assembly, so when it goes searching for (for example) Google.Protobuf, it will only look for the file Google.Protobuf.dll, and not the renamed file.
  • With this change, the update_dlls.yml build script, which pulls in the latest version of Yarn Spinner and its dependencies, now uses the dotnet-assembly-alias tool to rename the DLLs and their assembly names.
