If you are upgrading from a previous version of the plugin, see the instructions at the bottom.
This release is important for me because I finally decided to remove the alpha/beta keyword from the semantic versioning. The first release of the v2 branch of the generator is now almost 2 years old and I believe that Edgar is already mature enough to be used in production scenarios.
Another important news is that the asset is now available on the Unity Asset Store. You can buy it here. I also decided to increase the price to $40 because I have invested several years of my life into the development and I believe that the asset is quite unique in the context of other procedural generators and can help you with generating interesting levels. But for the first 2 weeks after this release, you can buy the asset with a 20% discount. Moreover, the asset will get updates on all the marketplaces, so you do not have to worry if you do not buy it in the Asset Store.

⏩ Migrate from previous version
Important for this version: remove all existing Edgar files before updating!
To update the plugin from a previous version, it is critical to first remove all the old files (Assets/Edgar folder) and then import the newer version of the plugin. You may also want to back up your files if you did some changes to the asset files. Moreover, if you are updating from an older version of Edgar, it is recommended to first update to the v2.0.0-beta.0 version, fix all the obsolete warning messages, and only then upgrade to this version.
To make it easier for you to update to future versions of the asset, please try to not create your games directly in any of the example scenes. It is okay to use these scenes as a playground. However, be prepared to lose all your modifications when upgrading to a new version of the asset.
