As of Unity 5.X cached components are no longer available, and will throw an error when the files are dragged into Unity. These are the following errors it throws:
Assets/Temporarily/Typogenic/Typogenic/Scripts/TypogenicText.cs(166,34): error CS0619: `UnityEngine.Component.renderer' is obsolete: `Property renderer has been deprecated. Use GetComponent<Renderer>() instead. (UnityUpgradable)'
Assets/Temporarily/Typogenic/Typogenic/Scripts/TypogenicText.cs(166,43): error CS1061: Type `UnityEngine.Component' does not contain a definition for `sharedMaterials' and no extension method `sharedMaterials' of type `UnityEngine.Component' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

It can be automaticly fixed using their update tool, but I changed the code so it won't throw the errors and require the update tool. These changes work fine on any previous version of Unity as well, as the changes I did, was just what was hidden behind the original cached calls. The total extend of the code is simple a null check and component getting, and a variable to store it in. I've even kept the name to 'renderer' so it won't require any changes to the remaining code.
