Fixed "Shader is not supported" log messages when post-processing shaders are stripped but not used
URPFixUUM-158025
Fixed a bug where rays heading towards the camera would require unnecessarily large Max Ray Steps to find a hit in URP Screen Space Reflections, when using Hierarchical Marching mode.
URPFixUUM-159190
Fixed an issue where a Render Pipeline Converter scan did not list assets that were created or modified just before the scan started.
URPFixUUM-154992
Fixed an issue where the Render Pipeline Converter's Animation Clip converter sometimes did not report animation clips used by an Animator Controller, so repeated scans of an unchanged project returned different results.
URPFixUUM-154762
Fixed an issue where the Render Pipeline Converter's Material Reference Converter skipped GameObjects in scenes that were not open.
URPFixUUM-157664
Fixed an issue where the Render Pipeline Converter's Post-Processing Stack v2 converter skipped GameObjects in scenes that were not open.
URPFixUUM-151409
Fixed an issue where the Renderer List and Culling samples in the URP RenderGraph Samples logged errors every frame when used with a 2D Renderer that has Depth/Stencil Buffer disabled.
Linked bug report
UUM-157948: "Render Graph Execution error" and "NullReferenceException" are thrown every frame when the URP RenderGraph sample's Renderer Feature is used on a 2D Renderer with "Depth/Stencil Buffer" disabled

How to reproduce: 1. Create a new project from the "Universal 2D" template 2. Go to Window -> Package Manager -> Universal Render Pipeline -> Samples and import "URP RenderGraph Samples" 3. Select Assets/Settings/Renderer2D, click "Add Renderer Feature" and add "Renderer List Render Feature" 4. On the same Renderer2D asset, disable "Depth/Stencil Buffer" 5. Enter Play Mode 6. Observe the Conso…

Fixed the Pixel Perfect Camera and Parametric to Freeform Light converters in the Render Pipeline Converter skipping objects in scenes that are not open.
URPFixUUM-158152
Reduced the CPU, render thread and GPU cost of realtime shadows in projects using the Shadow Caster normal bias mode, and fixed transparent objects using the wrong receiver normal bias with the Deferred rendering path. (UUM-155928) First seen in 7000.0.0a3.
URPFixUUM-155928
Strip the SSAO variants that pair GTAO with a reconstructed normals source. (UUM-157568) First seen in 7000.0.0a7.
URPFixUUM-157568
The exposure feature no longer affects performance when disabled.
URPFixUUM-155392

VFX GraphFixUUM-155587
Fixed a misleading warning when renaming a custom attribute to a built-in attribute name.
VFX GraphFixUUM-155519
Fixed a parameter added from the Blackboard appearing with a delay, and an exception when the VFX Graph window was reloaded right after adding one.
VFX GraphFix
Fixed Blackboard property order being lost when a VFX Graph is reopened, reversed when several properties are dragged together, and ignored when pasting into a selected category.
VFX GraphFixUUM-155317
Fixed Custom HLSL blocks and operators generating invalid shader code when the HLSL source starts with whitespace.
VFX GraphFixUUM-158603
Fixed the Blackboard category rename error not explaining why the name is invalid.

VFX GraphFixUUM-155538
Prevent attaching a Visual Effect from a prefab in the Project window to the VFX window.
VFX GraphFixUUM-153765
Prevent attaching a Visual Effect from a prefab in the Project window to the VFX window.
VFX GraphFixUUM-154540
Fixed a stack-use-after-scope memory safety issue that could occur when importing video clips.
VideoFixUUM-152642
Fixed libvpx x86 SIMD files not being compiled with their instruction set on QNX x64.
VideoFix
Fixed potential crash when opening multiple webcam sessions.
VideoFixUUM-155060
Updated libvpx to the most recent version
VideoFix
VideoClip.width and VideoClip.height now reports full coded size in case of H.264 or H.265 clips with a container crop on Windows. The behaviour is now aligned with OSX.

VideoPlayer playing at normal speed when Time.timeScale is 0 or different from 1 on WebGL (UUM-158521) First seen in 7000.0.0a9.
VideoFixWebGLUUM-158521
Fix UnityHttpMessageHandler leaking its Abort() cancellation registration
WebFixUUM-157566
Fixed AudioClip.samples and AudioClip.frequency returning 0 while an AudioClip's audio data was still loading. They now report the imported clip's values until loading has finished.

Fixed missing depth for Quad Views inset region static objects during Application Spacewarp motion vector reprojection pass (affection motion synthesis near object edges).
XRFixUUM-158842
Now when using intermediate textures in URP (such as with post-processing), the XR eye texture will no longer force MSAA when enabled which previously incurred a performance cost with no additional benefit due to already resolving to 1x sampling before the final pass.
