Handled automatically when installed from registry

• SmartFormat - parsing build path template

Installation

First, you need to add a scoped registry to Packages/manifest.json:

"scopedRegistries": [
    {
      "name": "trismegistus",
      "url": "http://upm.trismegistus.tech:4873/",
      "scopes": [
        "trismegistus.unity"
      ]
    }
]

Then open Window/Package manager, All packages, and install Trismegistus Build+

Add your own build path parameters

You can see example usage in StandardBuildParameters

1. Create static method with PathParameter return type and no arguments. Only in Editor class
2. Add [BuildPathProvider] attribute to class
3. Add [BuildPath] attribute to method
4. Construct proper PathParameter

This method will be called on opening Build+ window, saving, building or pressing "Refresh".

Readme from creator

Build+ can help you to version your app in a straight-forward way and avoid some of the headaches with maintaining release notes outside of the development environment. With Build+ you can even include your release notes in the app itself! As Build+ evolves, additional useful features will be added to automating your builds.

Launch Build+ by selecting File->Build+...

When you save you'll see a _BuildPlus.xml and a _BuildPlus.asset added to the root of your Assets/ folder. The xml is used only for easy merging. The asset file is a binary serialized version that you can use directly in your app for showing the version number/release notes. An example of this is shown in BuildPlus/Example/Example.unity.

Suggested workflow:

1. All developers on the team can add their significant changes to the release notes and check in the _BuildPlus.xml/asset along with the changed files. This should be done at the current version shown in Build+.
2. When a build is made and released, the developer who makes the build should increment the version number and check in _BuildPlus.xml/asset, so that other developers know where new notes should go.

ReleaseNotes.txt:
After you have made a single build using the standard Build menu, you can then use Build+ to make additional builds using the previously used settings. When you build this way, you will see a ReleaseNotes.txt file alongside your build.
