v2.0.0

🚀 Highlights

• Static, scene-free API (Pathways):
  • No more PathwaysManager GameObject in your scenes! The old MonoBehaviour singleton is now a fully static facade — call Pathways.LoadProfile(...), Pathways.GetPath(...), and Pathways.GetLatest() from anywhere without hunting for an instance.
  • PathwaysGlobalConfigs is gone; storage location, file extension, auto-save prefix, quicksave filename, and slot count are all static properties on Pathways.
• Typed save categories (SaveType):
  • First-class support for Manual, QuickSave, and AutoSave paths — no more inferring save type from filename heuristics.
  • Quick save is a dedicated overwrite slot ({profile}_quicksave.sav) instead of reusing manual-save naming.
  • Filter by type when loading or building a save-game menu: GetLatest(SaveType.Manual), GetSaves(SaveType.QuickSave), etc.
• SaveProfile — clearer profile model (renamed from Pathway):
  • Three focused methods cover most workflows: GetPath(SaveType, customName), GetLatest(SaveType?), and GetSaves(SaveType?).
  • File lists auto-refresh from disk on every query — no stale cache after external file changes.
• PathwaysDebugWindow Editor tooling:
  • Replaces the old PathwaysManager custom inspector with a dedicated window at Tools → Pathways → Debug Window.
  • Browse profiles, inspect saves on disk, copy paths, and delete files while iterating in the Editor.
• Fast Play Mode ready (Unity 6 / Domain Reload disabled):
  • Static state resets via SubsystemRegistration so play sessions don't leak profile or config data between Enter Play Mode cycles.

Changed

• PathwaysManager (MonoBehaviour singleton) converted to a fully static class Pathways.
• Namespace moved from Pathways to Tirt.Pathways to avoid C# type/namespace resolution collisions.
• Pathway renamed to SaveProfile; PathwayId renamed to ProfileId.
• PathwaysGlobalConfigs absorbed into static properties on the Pathways class.
• Events renamed: OnCurrentPathwayChanged → OnActiveProfileChanged; OnAutoSavePathRequested is now static on Pathways.
• Auto-save API simplified: ToggleAutoSave(...) → EnableAutoSave(...) / DisableAutoSave().
• Unity minimum version updated to 2021.3.
• Sample scene and SaveManager.cs updated for the v2.0 static API, including QuickSave and QuickLoad.
• Sample scene UI text now points to the Debug Window instead of the old manager inspector.

Added

• Tirt.Pathways namespace.
• SaveType enum (Manual, QuickSave, AutoSave).
• SaveProfile class with:
  • GetPath(SaveType type, string customName) — resolve a path to write to.
  • GetLatest(SaveType? type) — most recently modified save file path, optionally filtered by type.
  • GetSaves(SaveType? type) — all matching files, newest first.
• PathwaysDebugWindow EditorWindow (menu: Tools > Pathways > Debug Window).
• Built-in defensive reset for Unity Fast Play Mode (Domain Reload disabled).
• Documentation screenshot and refreshed README.md for v2.0.

Removed

• PathwaysGlobalConfigs.cs and PathwaysManagerExtensions.cs.
• PathwaysManagerEditor.cs (custom inspector).
• PathwaysManager.cs and Pathway.cs.

Breaking

• All PathwaysManager / Pathway APIs must migrate to Pathways / SaveProfile.
• Namespace changed from Pathways to Tirt.Pathways — update all using directives.
• Scene PathwaysManager GameObjects are no longer used and can be removed.
• Extension methods on PathwaysManager (GetAllSaveFiles, GetManualSaveFiles, etc.) are replaced by Pathways.GetSaves(SaveType?) and Pathways.GetLatest(SaveType?).
• GetOrCreateRecentSavePath() removed — use GetLatest() to load or GetPath(SaveType.Manual) to create a new save path.

Migration Notes

If upgrading from 1.x:

• Add using Tirt.Pathways; and remove references to the old Pathways namespace.

• Remove any PathwaysManager GameObject from your scenes — it is no longer required.

• Replace PathwaysManager.Instance with static Pathways calls:

  1.x	2.0
  PathwaysManager.Instance	Pathways (static)
  CurrentPathway	ActiveProfile
  CreateOrLoadPathway(id)	LoadProfile(id)
  SetCurrentPathway(id)	SetActiveProfile(id)
  SelectRecentPathway()	SelectRecentProfile()
  GetAllPathwayIds()	GetAllProfileIds()
  DeleteCurrentPathway()	DeleteProfile(activeProfile.ProfileId)
  pathway.GetSavePath(name)	Pathways.GetPath(SaveType.Manual, name)
  GetAutoSavePath()	Pathways.GetPath(SaveType.AutoSave)
  GetOrCreateRecentSavePath()	Pathways.GetLatest() or Pathways.GetPath(SaveType.Manual)
  GetManualSavePath(name)	Pathways.GetPath(SaveType.Manual, name)
  manager.GetAllSaveFiles()	Pathways.GetSaves()
  manager.GetManualSaveFiles()	Pathways.GetSaves(SaveType.Manual)
  manager.GetAutoSaveFiles()	Pathways.GetSaves(SaveType.AutoSave)
  manager.GetRecentSaveFile()	Pathways.GetLatest()
  ToggleAutoSave(true, slots, interval)	Pathways.EnableAutoSave(interval, slots)
  ToggleAutoSave(false)	Pathways.DisableAutoSave()
  SetTimescale(unscaled)	Pathways.UseUnscaledTime = unscaled
  PathwaysGlobalConfigs.SaveExtension	Pathways.SaveExtension
  OnCurrentPathwayChanged	OnActiveProfileChanged

• For quicksave (new in 2.0): use Pathways.GetPath(SaveType.QuickSave) — there was no dedicated quicksave slot in 1.x.

• Existing save files on disk remain compatible; only your C# call sites need updating.

• Use Tools → Pathways → Debug Window instead of selecting a PathwaysManager in the Inspector.
