Hello Prajjwal, based on our current changelog and release information (see at needle-engine-unity—Changelog.md and at needle-engine-unity—Changelog.md), there’s no announcement or planned deprecation for version 3.51.4 of the Needle package for Unity. We always communicate any deprecation well ahead of time in our release notes and documentation, so if that changes, you’ll be informed through those channels. For now, you can continue using 3.51.4 without concern, and for the latest updates you may check our official docs at Needle Engine Documentation.

How to use version 3.51.4 with Unity? As of now, if I download the package for unity, it directly shows the latest version

To use version 3.51.4 of the Needle package with Unity, follow these steps:

  1. Install via npm: Starting with version 3.x, Needle Engine in Unity is installed through npm. You can specify the exact version you want in your project’s package.json. Here’s how to do it:

    {
  "dependencies": {
    "@needle-tools/engine": "3.51.4"
  }
}

  2. Update Project: After editing the package.json, run the following command in your terminal to install the specified version:

    npm install

  3. Use Proper Components: Within Unity, ensure you’re using the relevant components to load assets and configure scenes as needed. You can add components by navigating in the Unity menu to GameObject > Needle Engine and selecting the component you need.

  4. Add Export Info Component: To deploy your app directly to Needle Cloud, add the Export Info component to your scene using:

    GameObject > Needle Engine > Add Export Info

  5. Testing and Running: Ensure everything runs correctly by testing the setup in your Unity editor, using the appropriate functionalities provided by the Needle Engine.

If you need further specific instructions based on your project setup or additional questions, feel free to ask! You can refer to the documentation at Needle Engine Documentation (docs/index.html).

You can choose the version you want directly from Unity‘s Package Manager and then both the Needle for Unity package and Needle Engine will be using the correct version.
