#MarsHelicopter 1st flight attempt delayed to no earlier than April 14

During the high-speed spin test, the sequence ended early during the transition from "preflight" to "flight" mode. The helicopter is safe & healthy. The team is diagnosing the issue. https://t.co/ysnZzKR7qM

Twas the night as Christmas landed and not a soul was stirring except for a hidden build team feverishly toiling.
And come the fateful hour and with much ado, the Latest release of @XRTK_dev was brought forth for you.

[XRTK @XRTK_dev]

After the slowdown of Covid, holidays and other winter pressures, the @XRTK_dev team are in another flurry of activity in the run-up to the holidays.

Hint Hint, there could be a little something extra in the stockings this year :D

BIG news, BIG day & a HUGE achievement for the @XRTK_dev team. We snuck in a late contender for the 0.2 release

We now support Unity 2019.4 LTS as the base version

Might sound odd, but it was a big effort with "some" of the platforms to achieve this, but now were rocking!

[XRTK @XRTK_dev]

SUCCESS

Having your build system up & running again with only a few tweaks needed

That and:
* New Unity build
* New Unity Hub
* Hours of head-scratching
* Repeated tests
* Clumsy attempts to force it to work
* Success!

Back to normal operation and the final testing for release

[XRTK @XRTK_dev]

Well, seems we still have some work to do. Had to pause dev while we sort out our build system (Thanks Unity).

Thinking either GitHub Tasks and another crazy idea to use Unity's new CI system.

#ChoicesChoices

[XRTK @XRTK_dev]

@_din0m1te @jorgejgnz Yup, as we've got all those pressures built in to the @XRTK_dev hand system, that would be awesome :D

[XRTK @XRTK_dev]

Things are still bustling along with the #XRTK, a few hurdles have derailed somethings, mostly b/c changes in the Unity hub broke our build system.
That more than anything has slowed down our 0.2 release as it prevents real-world deployment testing.

But we're keeping busy

[XRTK @XRTK_dev]

So. Something "Happened" today, which is a huge milestone in the path to 0.2.

Now we are in the packaging/testing/repackaging/retesting, testing again and some more tests to release :D

Then finally we can get on to some good visuals :D

[XRTK @XRTK_dev]

Just when you think everything is going fine, Unity throws you a spanner to muck up your DevOps pipeline.

Builds are down due to a change in how the Unity hub works. Now looking at other short term strategies while we wait for acceptance of the bug and hopefully a fix.
