Improvement(Use Unity 5.4 Beta): SteamVR Plugin not working with 5.3.5 #124

I have tried to install Unity 5.3 with the newest SteamVR Plugin to debug my feature for this project, but all I get are compile errors from the plugin. Lightprobes not found etc.

I suggest to move the support to Unity 5.4 because it dramatically increased the rendering performance for VR (Blogpost) and Valve released the Lab Renderer (Adaptive Quality with MSAA) for Unity 5.4.

Are there any concerns? Is there a real reason to support 5.3?

5.4 is still in beta. It's not wise to support only a product that is in beta. Many people still use 5.3 because it is the stable release.

Thats true. I thought the time to market for VR games is great enough to start using 5.4 Release Target June 2016. But I could turn my features on and off depending on the Unity version.
