This is only a point release and we are still working hard on the next full update

## Upgrade Notes

The HSS picker especially had a lot of file changes in this update.

>**Note** In Unity 5.5 the particle system was overhauled and several methods were marked for removal. However, the UI Particle System script currently still uses them

### How do I get set up?
|

Either clone / download this repository to your machine and then copy the scripts in, or use the pre-packaged .UnityPackage for your version of Unity and import it as a custom package in to your project.
|
|
|
|
### Contribution guidelines
|
|
Got a script you want added, then just fork and submit a PR. All contributions accepted (including fixes)
|
|
Just ensure
|
|
* The header of the script matches the standard used in all scripts
|
|
* The script uses the **Unity.UI.Extensions** namespace so they do not affect any other developments
|
|
* (optional) Add Component and Editor options where possible (editor options are in the Editor\UIExtensionsMenuOptions.cs file)

### The downloads
|
|
As this repo was created to support my new Unity UI Title ["Unity 3D UI Essentials"](http://bit.ly/Unity3DUIEssentials), in the downloads section you will find two custom assets (SpaceShip-DemoScene-Start.unitypackage and RollABallSample-Start.unitypackage). These are just here as starter scenes for doing UI tasks in the book.
|
|
|
|
I will add more sample scenes for the UI examples in this repository and detail them above over time. |
