    Hi,

    I just wanted to send a quick note to let everyone know we'll be talking about future development plans for Asset Bundles at Unite LA next week. If you are attending Unite, the session will be part of Track 2, Thursday at 1PM PST. I'll be sure to cross-post information from that session back here as well in case you can't attend.

    Bitbucket is/was popular internally mostly due to Mercurial support. As we've grown, we've brought a lot more people that are comfortable/familiar with git and GitHub's workflows in particular, so there's been somewhat of a shift that way.

    Would it be possible to have the functionality of having a list of all of the currently loaded asset bundles as a readonly array? Like in the AssetBundleManager but it is added when you call your AB load function inside the Unity API?

    Yes, this is tracked internally and we could certainly expose it in a low level API.

    You can cheat in this regard because loaded asset bundle content does show up in Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll<GameObject>(), but does not show in UnityEngine.Object.FindObjectsOfType<GameObject>(). This was as of Unity 5.3.4p5. Walk the Resources list, and anything not found in the Object list is in a loaded (but not necessarily instanced) asset bundle.
