Deprecated for Unity 6 / V3
=======================
The following components have been deprecated for Unity 6 (Version 3.0.0) and are no longer maintained. They remain documented for legacy reference only.
Why Deprecated?
Text Effects: Unity deprecated the legacy Text component in favor of TextMeshPro. Text effects that relied on Text component vertex manipulation no longer function with TextMeshPro due to its different architecture. Users should utilize native TextMeshPro effects instead.
VR/Input Modules: These components were removed as Unity’s input system and VR frameworks have evolved significantly, making these implementations obsolete.
Other Components: ImageExtended, Infinite Scroll Snap, Serialization, and UIButton were removed due to functionality being superseded by other components or Unity’s built-in features.
