The exposure feature no longer affects performance when disabled.
The Slope-Scale Depth Bias mode no longer produces shadow acne at low depth bias values or texel-aligned stripes on surfaces facing the light head-on. The slider now maps to a slope that never drops below the legacy mode's fixed slope, and a small fixed caster depth offset covers head-on receivers while the caster normal bias mode is active. The legacy mode is unchanged.
Unclamped exposure values could break. To solve this it is now clamped at +- 20
Fixed a crash in UnityYAMLMerge when merging a file with a malformed object header; the tool now reports the error and falls back to the configured text merge tool.
