New Release v0.53.0

A new version (v0.53.0) of UMF has now been released.
This release is both late and too early;
Late because I have had a lot on my plate and packed too many changes into one update.
Early because it contains some unfinished features such as the Mod Manager.
Due to the size and early release of this update it's likely to contain a few uncaught issues.

This update features;

• - Support for Unity Engine 2019


• - Support for Mod Packs (Website support to be added later)


• - Support for Universal Mods


• - Major improvements to the UMF Installer


• - Improved Mod Library/API support


• - Various Bug fixes and internal improvements.

See the Changelog for a full list of changes.

Happy Birthday UMF

Today it has been 1 year since the first release of UMF.
In that year UMF has been downloaded more than 73,000 times by more than 50,000 unique users, despite having just a few mods available for most of that time.
UMF has come a very long way in just a year, and still has so much more in store for it.
While there is no new release today, here are some of the things coming in the next few releases:

• - Fixes for MacOS


• - Easy Modpacks


• - Slime Rancher Mod API


• - A rewrite of the in-game GUI


• - More integration and improvements with the website

The documentation is also in the process of being moved to a better wiki software, due to nothing but problems with the current one.
It will replace the current wiki URL as soon as it is ready.
More official mods for more games are also coming, but anyone could start creating mods with a little bit of learning.
There are a lot of other big plans for UMF not mentioned here, but those will take a lot more time.

Due to the introduction of Harmony 2.0 all old mods will break with this release, but fear not, we have updated all of the official mods to go along with this release.
See the Changelog for a full list of changes.

The documentation has been moved over to the wiki and updated, and will continue to be built on over time.
You can find the new documentation here.

The file you need to translate can be found inside the Locale folder of UMF.

New Release v0.40

A new version (v0.40) of UMF has now been released.

Noteworthy Changes:
- Drastically increased overall user-friendlyness.
- Mods can automatically update them selves.
- UMF can automatically update it self. (Untested on Linux and Mac)
- The Setup is more helpful in diagnosing problems.

The Documentation will be completely remade over the following days. The API (#8) section is up to date.

New user friendly update coming soon

The next UMF update named the #user-friendly Update is around the corner.
It is the first update that focuses on making UMF a lot more user-friendly.
Adding in things like fully automatic UMF and Mod updates, desktop shortcuts, GUI improvements, Setup improvements and a lot more.
You can see a full list of upcoming changes in the Changelog.

The main thing holding back the new update right now, is the lack of available Linux and Mac users that can test the new features to ensure they work correctly on those OS's.
If any Linux and Mac users out there are willing to help, just join the discord or forum and let me know.
