Unity iPhone 1.0.2 Released!

It seems the stars are aligning. Just in time for our first foray into Unity Iphone development comes the newest update, fixing some major performance issues mostly related to audio.

Unity iPhone 1.0.2
Additional Features, improvements, and changes
New Features and Improvements

* Reduced memory footprint for uncompressed audio by 50%
* “Memory usage for textures reduced by 50%. Texture memory is now freed once it has been submitted to OpenGLES on the device. The “Enable Get/SetPixels” flag in the Texture Import Settings lets you disable this feature on a per texture basis in order to access the texture data from a script using GetPixel etc.
* Improved iPhone script call optimization
* Removed unused parts of Mono runtime
* Reduced memory overhead while reading data from disk and slightly improved load times.
* Support for several predefined splash-screens (portrait/landscape) for Indie version. Just rename one of the splash-screens in the output directory to Default.png
* Exported audio session activation/deactivation functions to AppController.mm
