Changelogs

2026-05-21​

New additions:

  • Add transition duration.
    • The input value of a control can now change over time or be processed by a filter. The following filters are provided: Smooth towards, linear move towards, and curve.
    • This processing is done locally; the value of the address itself does not change over time.
  • Lipsync values are available as addresses to be read by Vixxy.
  • Effects can be triggered based on the distance, angle, or rotation between objects.
    • Add HVR Measure component to avatar content policy.
  • Changing Transform rotation, position, and scale is now permitted.
  • In the editor, add a button to capture the current value of a property from the scene.

Major modifications:

  • Migrate Face Tracking to use the same system as Vixxy.
    • FaceTrackingActivityRelay only triggers on addresses that start with FT/, as the migration of Face Tracking to the same system as Vixxy was causing a feedback loop.
    • The old systems have been removed.
  • Network transmission of an address will now use server reduction if it changes value at least 100 times.

Modifications in existing HVR.Basis systems:

  • Functional:
    • Sliders for controls that use multiple choices now fade between the choices. Previously, the slider would snap settings to the nearest whole number.
    • Addresses chosen automatically for controls now account for objects having the same name.
    • Value is clamped per-control between the minimum and the maximum choice value. This is done in preparation for high-frequency networking, where the value is clamped by technical necessity.
    • Handle quaternion properties represented as Euler angles, with Spherical or Euler interpolation.
  • Usability:
    • When a Vixxy Control is created, the choices are named by default to "OFF" and "ON"
    • In the Toggle Objects UI, "Enable these when active" has been replaced with "Affect these objects" and now uses the same system as multiple choices.
    • In the Toggle Objects UI, toggles are now shown to the left.
    • In the Change Properties UI, "Inactive" and "Active" now use the same system as multiple choices.
    • In the Control UI, menu creation or the selection of an address is now done through a menu.
    • In the Control UI, choices are now always shown.
    • In the Menu editor UI, the menu settings are always shown.
    • Address and Networking have been moved to their own "Advanced Settings" tab since they don't need to be touched.
  • Optimizations:
    • Minimum and maximum values for a control are now baked at runtime.
    • Avoid GetComponent call in Menu Item.
    • Reduce the size of some networking packets, as we can deduce the size of the last list in a packet.
    • Addresses are now transmitted in a byte instead of an ushort if there are 256 network addresses or less.

Fixes:

  • Fix editor was unable to switch between object groups or delete one because a key already exists.
  • Fix editor must not use the "GetComponent<SkinnedMeshRenderer>() is smr" syntax as this can return true despite the object not having a SkinnedMeshRenderer component.
  • Fix rejoining or joining multiple servers with the same avatar was incorrectly not submitting the state of the avatar to other users.
  • Workaround initialization packet was exceeding the maximum size when a large number of toggles was created.
    • The initialization packet is now chunked into groups of 10 toggles per packet.
  • Fix HDR properties was using the wrong type.
  • When a user requests initialization, the wearer sends the responses to that user instead of all users.
  • Fix Toggle Objects sometimes did not show all objects being toggled.
  • Fix adding a new object group should now produce an empty group without stray references of existing objects.

New additions:

  • Add a toggle system for avatars using HVRVixxyControl, HVRVixxyMenuItem.
  • The toggles are accessible in-game through "Settings > My Avatar" if at least one VixxyMenuItem component is present on the avatar.

Modifications in Basis SDK:

  • The following types are now allowed in avatars: HVR.Vixxy.HVRVixxyControl, HVR.Vixxy.HVRVixxyMenuItem, and HVR.Vixxy.HVRVixxyAggregator.
  • HVR.Vixxy.HVRVixxyAggregator is not implemented and cannot be used.

Modifications in existing HVR.Basis systems:

  • The SettingsProvider avatar tab override now integrates with Vixxy menu items.
  • Addresses and values can now be networked directly:
    • Add HVRVariableState to handle the networking of avatar state.
    • Add new packet types in AvatarMessageProcessing to support the networking of avatar state.
    • HVRAvatarComms now uses the networking carrier at index 1 (this means the second one) for networking messages related to avatar state.
    • HVRAvatarComms now holds a reference to a variable store which can be subscribed to (instead of AcquisitionService).
    • AcquisitionService now delegates to a variable store.
  • Remove "Avatar" from the display name of the package, so that is now "HVR Basis Comms".
  • HVRAddress is now a ScriptableObject.
  • Calls to HVRLogging are no longer shown in the stack trace.
  • Obsolete AcquisitionAssist and RandomAcquisition components have been removed.
  • Unused JiggableSkinnedMeshRenderer class has been removed.

Editor modifications in existing HVR.Basis systems:

  • Most HVR components now show additional information in Play Mode about their internal state.
    • HVRAvatarComms now shows all mutualized addresses and the corresponding values.
    • AcquisitionService now shows all registered addresses, the number of event listeners for each, and the last value.
    • OSCAcquisitionServer now shows all received addresses (OSC only) and how many messages have been received for each.
  • Add icons to user-facing components.
