While our initial releases were focused on making Stan work, version 1.0.4 is about making it unbreakable. We're thrilled to announce the Stability Update, a landmark release that transforms Stan into an enterprise-grade tool ready for the global Unity community.

This update introduces foundational changes focused on security, ease of use, and professional-grade stability. Let's dive into what makes v1.0.4 a game-changer for AI-driven development in Unity.

1. The "Zero-Setup" Installation​

The plugin is now a 100% standalone .unitypackage. We heard your feedback, and we've eliminated all external dependencies for a seamless installation experience.

  • The Feature: We've bundled the entire Node.js MCP server into a single, optimized binary.
  • User Benefit: No more npm install or node_modules. Just drag, drop, and start building. Stan now requires zero technical dependencies on your machine, making it accessible to every member of your team, regardless of their technical background.

2. Enterprise-Grade Security & IP Protection​

Your source code is your most valuable asset. Stan now protects it with enterprise-grade security.

  • The Feature: All core AI logic and C# scripts are now distributed as compiled DLLs.
  • User Benefit: This change brings a twofold advantage: the plugin runs faster and is more stable, and your internal code is protected from inspection. This creates a secure, sandboxed environment for professional developers who demand IP protection.

3. Modern "Device-Code" Authentication​

We've moved away from messy API keys to a modern, secure authentication flow you're already familiar with.

  • The Feature: Browser-based, device-code authentication.
  • Details: Just like logging into YouTube on your TV, the Stan Unity plugin will show you a code. You'll sign in via your browser, and your Unity Editor will be instantly and securely connected.
  • User Benefit: This provides maximum security. Your password and account credentials never touch or get stored in the Unity Editor.

4. Deep Project Context (The AI "Eyes")​

Stan no longer guesses; he knows your project. We've given our AI a comprehensive understanding of your entire Unity scene.

  • The Feature: Full scene and asset awareness.
  • Details: A new, high-performance Context Gatherer now maps out your GameObjects, existing scripts, and project structure using Newtonsoft.Json.
  • User Benefit: When you ask Stan to "fix the player script," he knows exactly which GameObject it's attached to, where the script file is, and what's inside it. This deep context makes his assistance incredibly accurate and relevant.

5. Task-Driven Workflow​

To provide full transparency into the AI's operations, we've integrated a dedicated Task Manager.

  • The Feature: An integrated Task Manager UI window.
  • Details: This window breaks down complex AI requests into a series of actionable, trackable sub-tasks. Each task is displayed with a clear progress icon (✓, ⟳, ✗).
  • User Benefit: You're never in the dark. See exactly what Stan is doing step-by-step, from analyzing your request to modifying code and updating assets.

Get The Update​

This is more than just an update; it's a statement about our commitment to providing a stable, secure, and professional tool for the Unity ecosystem.

We highly recommend all users upgrade to v1.0.4 from our GitHub releases to get the best and most secure experience. Thank you for being part of this journey!
