OVRMonoscopic Does Not Appear To Work

I'm working in Unity 5.2.1f1 with Oculus Utilities 5.0.1.2.0 beta, building for GearVR.

I'm not currently able to enable monoscopic mode. There is a utility script in OVR/Moonlight/Scripts/Utils/OVRMonoscopic which toggles monoscopic mode by setting the value of OVRManager.instance.monoscopic when a gamepad button is pressed. I see that the value is being set, but it has no effect.

Is this simply broken, or am I missing something?

    We have implemented a short-term fix that lets you globally enable/disable monoscopic rendering as before. ~3mo from now, we also plan to enable hybrid mono/stereo apps such that you can render far-away content in mono and nearby content in stereo.

    The global toggle is heading toward release, but it isn't quite in the next one. It should be out by the end of the month.

    It's still being worked on. I'm not sure when it will be fixed, but it's on the roadmap.

    It's still being worked on, and it's more than a "few hour" fix. Sorry for the delay.

    I see this line in the release notes for the new Oculus Utilities for Unity.

    "Restored ability to toggle settings such as monoscopic rendering and position tracking."

    Does this mean it really works? I'd like to hear confirmation before I go through the upgrade process. So stoked if so!
