Added named animatable channels for script components. A MonoBehaviour exposes channels by declaring a serialized field of type AnimatableFloatChannels, AnimatableIntChannels or AnimatableObjectChannels.
AnimationFeature
Release Notes Search
Search changes, fixes, and known issues across Unity releases.
Added a Referenced By tree to the Build Analysis asset inspector, which shows which assets reference the selected asset and the paths from each of them up to the build's loadable roots.
Build PipelineFeature
Introduce BuildProfilePostprocessBuild component so users can add postprocess build callbacks to build profiles that will run for the active build profile being built.
EditorFeature
When Closed Network users enable the Closed Network-exclusive Project Setting to disable Trust messaging on packages, all packages are considered Out of Trust.
Package ManagerFeature
Added the box-shadow USS property, with outer and inset shadows, blur and spread radii, transitions, and UI Builder and Inspector support.
UI ToolkitFeature
Section headers in the Build Analysis window now highlight across their full width when hovered.
Build PipelineImprovement
Improved the layout of the Burst Inspector window, with clearer toolbars and output tabs and a search bar that is always shown. Also added a function dropdown to the Burst Inspector that jumps to a function in the disassembly, and Previous and Next buttons to step through search matches.
BurstImprovement
Improved the description of what's contained in the Multiplayer sample install flow.
EditorImprovement
Fixed static field accesses not throwing an exception when a class's cctor failed on some platforms.
IL2CPPImprovement
Volatile fields and the volatile. prefix use acquire and release semantics instead of a full memory barrier.
IL2CPPImprovement
Reduced JIT compile overhead by skipping JIT phase timing when runtime statistics are disabled.
MonoImprovement
The "Managed Stack Trace Information" setting now affects stack traces printed from Burst code.
ScriptingImprovement
Improved style resolution performance when many elements share the same cached styles.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Improved the performance of pointer event dispatch, especially when the pointer moves between deeply nested elements.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Removed the per-restyle managed allocations for elements whose UXML inline style declares custom properties (USS variables).
UI ToolkitImprovement
UI Builder no longer searches the whole project after every UXML or USS change when no UI Builder window is open.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Added: Added AnimatableFloatChannels, AnimatableIntChannels and AnimatableObjectChannels.
AnimationAPI change
Added: Added the BuildProfilePlayerSettings component, so that you can create, get, and remove a build profile's own player settings with BuildProfile.CreateComponent, GetComponent, and RemoveComponent.
EditorAPI change
Changed: EngineDiagnosticsSettings.enabled now reads and writes the Diagnostic Data Collection setting of the active build profile, or of the active platform profile if no build profile is active, and doesn't change other build profiles. To disable Diagnostic Data Collection for all users and CI, set it to Disabled in a build profile asset, commit the asset, and build with that profile by using -activeBuildProfile or BuildPipeline.BuildPlayer with BuildPlayerWithProfileOptions.
Engine DiagnosticsAPI change
Added: Added "PhysicsQuery.CircleAndCapsule", "PhysicsQuery.CircleAndSegment", "PhysicsQuery.CircleAndPolygon", "PhysicsQuery.CapsuleAndSegment", "PhysicsQuery.CapsuleAndPolygon" and "PhysicsQuery.PolygonAndSegment" so every pair of geometries can be queried in either order.
Deprecated: Deprecated the "useScale" parameter of "PhysicsMath.GetRelativeMatrix2D", which had no effect; use the overload without it, or "PhysicsMath.GetRelativePose2D" to build a matrix with the scale you need.
Added: Added TerrainData.maxHeightmapResolution, minAlphamapResolution, maxAlphamapResolution, minBaseMapResolution, maxBaseMapResolution, minDetailResolutionPerPatch and maxDetailResolutionPerPatch, the limits that the resolution setters clamp values to.
TerrainAPI change
Added: Added TerrainRegion and TerrainEditUtility to sculpt heights and paint terrain layers by height and slope inside a rectangle, disc or path from scripts, and to read the heightmap samples and alphamap texels such an area covers. They are designed for authoring.
TerrainAPI change
Changed: Selectable.s_Selectables changed from a Selectable array to List<Selectable>.
uGUIAPI change
Obsoleted: Selectable.s_SelectableCount is now obsolete. Use Selectable.allSelectableCount instead.
uGUIBreaking
Added: Added the BoxShadow and StyleBoxShadow types, and the IStyle.boxShadow and IResolvedStyle.boxShadow properties.
UI ToolkitAPI change
Diagnostic Data Collection is now enabled by default for every build profile, including in upgraded projects, unless a build profile explicitly disables it.
Engine DiagnosticsChange
Diagnostic data is no longer collected in the Editor when the active build profile targets a platform that doesn't support Diagnostics.
Engine DiagnosticsChange
Editor crash and exception reporting to Diagnostics now follows the Diagnostic Data Collection setting of the active build profile.
Engine DiagnosticsChange
Removed the Diagnostics page from Project Settings > Services. Diagnostic Data Collection is now configured for each build profile in the Build Profiles window, and Project Settings > Services describes the diagnostic data that Unity collects.
Engine DiagnosticsBreaking
The Diagnostic Data Collection setting in the Build Profiles window now offers Enabled and Disabled, and disabling it no longer asks for confirmation.
Engine DiagnosticsChange
Fixed a crash when a Tilemap Prefab whose Scene instance has tile overrides was updated outside the Editor.
Fixed an issue where Light2D and Shadow2D Shader Graph assets could not be dragged onto the Light 2D Material and Shadow Material fields.
Fixed Light2D Shader Graphs gaining extra Normal, Tangent and Base Color blocks after the Material was changed in the Shader Graph Inspector.
