Animations don't update on timeline when overwriting new ex

Hi.

Animations don't update on timeline when overwriting new export files.
So I had to delete the ReferenceAssets folder and create a new one, then drag them back to the timeline to update the latest animations. It's a bit annoying, can anyone give me some advice? Thank you!
P/s: I'am using Spine 3.8.99 and Unity 2019.4.14.

What exactly did not update of your animations? If you change keys in an animation it will for example definitely be replaced.
Which version of the spine-unity runtime (name of the unitypackage or version string in Assets/Spine/version.txt) are you using?

Hi, it's spine-unity-3.8-2020-11-30.unitypackage.
I changed some keys of some animations, which were thrown in the timeline, even though it was replaced when i check the Unity preview but when i play the timeline it still runs the old animation.

Sorry for the late reply! This sounds very weird, as animation keys are always loaded from the skeleton .json or .skel.bytes file, I wonder where these old keys are coming from. Are you sure that you do not have a second duplicate of the skeleton that is used instead?

If you are sure that this issue is not related to using and updating the wrong assets, could you please create a minimal Unity project that still shows the issue, and send it as a zip package to contact@esotericsoftware.com? Then we can have a look. Please also briefly mention the url of this forum thread in the email so that we know the context.

Thanks for the reply :love:
I sent you guys an email with a minimal Unity project that still shows the issue and sources files Spine which I did a quick test.
Hope it will be useful for you.

P/s: As you can see the gif, I removed the character's key of scale bone and replaced it but the timeline still runs the old animation which still has the key of scale bone.

Thanks for sending the email, we received everything. We will let get back to you once we've figured out what's going wrong.

It turned out that the AnimationReferenceAssets objects were still holding a reference to the old Animation object in memory. We have just released a bugfix for both 3.8 and 4.0 spine-unity branches.

You can download the updated unitypackages here as usual:
Spine Unity Download
Note that 3.8 is now located at the bottom of the download page:
Spine Unity Download: Older Versions
Please let us know if this fixes the problem on your end as well. Thanks very much for reporting!
