2 Questions about the Unity runtimes

Stilf

What is the reason that BoneFollower is in the tk2d runtime? Is there anything tk2d specific in there? (By the way, is it a replacement for BoneComponent?)
I don't see anything about getting the support for the binary format implemented in the runtimes Trello. What's the status of it?

Pharan

Backstory:
Mitch made SkeletonUtility for Spine-Unity and built it on top of the old BoneComponent.
The functionality changed so much that he just removed the old BoneComponent.
But knowing what the old BoneComponent did was still useful for simple cases, he left BoneFollower.

(1) So yes, BoneFollower is what used to be BoneComponent.

Nothing tk2D specific there.
Rendering (and everything dependent on it, atlasing, attachment stuff) is what makes Spine-Unity and Spine-TK2D different from each other.
BoneFollower (or the old BoneComponent) doesn't use any of that stuff. Just Skeleton and Bone.

1) Pharan covered it.

2) Waitin on Nate to implement for C# in general. I might get around to it first if one of my projects requires that kind of loading efficiency.
