    Fix build error
    BatchPrefabBaker null checks

Version 3.36.0 June 5, 2023
    ** Important ** The clear buffers after bake behaviour has changed. It may be necessary to uncheck
    "Clear Buffers After Bake" if you are baking repeatedly.

    Fixed typos in some of the text in the inspector and error messages.
    Fixed exception when there are zero rows in inspector and we press the delete row button.
    Fixed NullReferenceException if there is a null material when using "Configure Multiple Materials From Objects To Be Combined".

    Added EncodeToTGA so that it is possible to save atlases in TGA format.
    Fixed display of TextureShaderProperty.
    Some lists don't display properly in Unity 2021. The first row is overwritten. Fixed by adding [NonReorderable].
    MeshCombiners implement the IDisposable interface and are Disposed in OnDestroy.
    Apply and UpdateGameObjects return a bool to indicate success or failure.
    Added function MBVersion.IsAssetInProject(Object).
    Added interface MB_IMeshCombinerSimpleBones to better encapsulate functionality for processing bone data in skinned meshes.

    Fix error "Could not find a tiling rect..."
    Fix Blend-Non-Texture-Properties bug when there are no textures, only color tints.
    Created TEMP_SOLID_COLOR_TEXTURE_SIZE constant.

    Correct handling of TextureFormat.CompressionQuality.
    Updated TextureBlenders for Standard and URP to handle alphaClipping
    Refactored MeshCombinerSimple so that combining functions are handled by a separate class. This is a first step toward migrating to NativeArrays

    Fix where URP bakes would create unused _MainTex atlas
    
Version 3.34.0 July 28, 2021
    Added list of texture properties to ignore to the TextureBaker settings
    When Batch Prefab Baker creates result prefabs. It will check if they exist and create new ones instead of overwriting them.
    Added ContextMenu command to all bakers for purging nulls from list of objects to combine.
    Added TextureBlender for HDRP
    Fix bug where I was using SerializedProperty.enumValueIndex where I should have been using SerializedProperty.intValue.

=================
Version 3.33.0 Feb 18, 2021
    Mesh Baker works with Addressables when materials are baked in the editor but Meshes are baked at runtime and loaded from bundles. This
    had been a problem because materials in the TextureBakeResult wouldn't map to rectangles in the atlas.
    Switched serialized path in the BoneWeightCopier to be Assets folder relative and standardized path browsing UI.
    Example scenes work better with HDRP and URP. There is now a script that will detect the pipeline and auto update each example scene.

    Better handling for linear color space projects.
    Added TextureBlenderURP for the Universal Render Pipeline/Lit shader
    Improved collecting texture properties from result material. Was using the Material
    API which was bad because it remembers extra properties from old shaders if the shader
    is switched. Now collect the texture properties using the Shader API instead.
    Bug Fix: Fixed some bugs in the the Standard shader texture blenders.
    Bug Fix: NRE when trying to use listShadersInScene and with split into groups.
    Bug Fix: When trying to combine skinned mesh renderers that are not prefab instances,
        bones would not always be copied correctly to the prefab. Fixed.

- Can bake objects without creating an atlas as long as they all use the same set of textures.
- Better memory allocation when creating atlases.

- Displays error if user tries to bake a mesh that has read/write = false 

======================
Version 3.3

- Fixed a bug where list of objects to combine produced null pointer exception
- Added BatchPrefabBaker
- Generated normal maps (when no normal on source) are now neutral normal color

======================
Version 3.2.1

- Added several examples and explantions with other Examples 
- Optimization where uvs are not adjusted if there is only one texture in the atlas

======================
Version 3.2

- Fix error creating new bakers
- Fix error baking into prefab if have not baked scene object first.


======================

======================
Version 3.0

- Big refactor to simplify code.
- Cleaned up API 
- removed a number of unecessary parameters from function calls
- Made method names more consistant
- More code is shared between MeshBakerCommon and subclasses
- Mesh combiners inherit from a proper superclass

- better interface for AddDeleteGameObjectsByIDs

======================
Version 2.11.7

- Fixed bug with generating UV2 for multi mesh baker

======================
Version 2.11.6

- Fixed bug where meshes could not be combined if the original meshes had been deleted from the scene
- Added warning if skinned mesh has been optimized.

======================
Version 2.11.5

- Fixed bug where combining skinned meshes did not work correctly
- Fixed bug with validation which required resultMaterial to be set when doing multi material

======================
Version 2.11.4

- Improved update so developer has control over which channels are updated.

======================
Version 2.11.3

 this makes it possible to remove destroyed objects as long as the ID instance ID is remembered.
- Added a flag to make validation optional.
- Improved UpdateApproximateBounds and added two scripts that can be do this
- Improved the logging class
- Fixes errors when switching the output after a bake
- Added a version field so dependent projects know the version

======================
Version 2.9.1

Fixes a minor issue where a warning is displayed when skinned meshes
contain no meshes.

======================
Version 2.9

Moved all UnityEditor class usage to classes in the Editor folder
To do this an interface MB2_EditorMethodsInterface and class MB2_EditorMethods were created.
Created new Logging class for better debug tracing
There were a number of changes to the API

MB2_MeshCombiner.Apply takes a delegate function for Generating UV2. This should be null when called at runtime and set to Unwrapping.GenerateUV2 when called from the editor.


These methods require an instance of MB2_EditorMethods when called from the editor. The parameter should be null or ommitted when called at runtime.
    doCombinedValidate
    CreateAndSaveAtlases

These methods were moved to MB2_EditorMethods
    SaveMeshsToAssetDatabase 
    RebuildPrefab

Fixed null pointer exception when baking assets in place

cleaned up code in TextureCombiner

Added Show/Hide to the API which just updates triangles
