=Quick Note for New Developers=
 
=Compatible Unity Versions=
 
For production work the Stable Version of the Unity Editor is 2017.4 - we recommend using versions between 2017.2-2017.4 for maximum compatibility.
 
 
<strong>Unity 2018.1 and 2018.2 support is available in Editor Pack version 14 onwards</strong>, and is generally robust. Unity 2018.3 support is also available in Editor Pack 14, but is considered <strong>experimental</strong>, and bug reports are appreciated.
 
====Importing Existing Content====
 
We <strong>strongly advise</strong> importing the Sinespace Editor Pack into a blank project. Existing assets may incorporate incompatibilities in dependent assets, such as Unity's Post Stack V2 (which we bundle the Sinespace compatible version in our package, ditto Cinemachine.) which can cause conflicts. To import existing content, we recommend creating a blank project, and copy the assets into the new project, if you encounter incompatibilities please let us know!
 
 
 
 
===Note for Mac/Linux Users===
 
You also need to have Mono installed on OSX for the editor pack to work.
 
 
For OSX we recommend a specific version you can get that here: [https://download.mono-project.com/archive/4.8.0/macos-10-universal/MonoFramework-MDK-4.8.0.382.macos10.xamarin.universal.pkg Download]
