Removed: Removed the deprecated MovieTexture API.

Added: Added new "Maximum Size Reduction" and "Maximum Size Reduction with LTO" Code Optimization settings. When enabled this will further optimize compiled IL2CPP code as well as apply extra link time optimizations (these are distinct from LTO). Testing across multiple projects and devices showed that compared to the default "Shorter Build Time" setting, "Maximum Size Reduction" reduces code size by an average of 28.50% at the cost of 5.25% frame time performance regression.

Added: Added performance.measureUserAgentSpecificMemory to web diagnostics overlay to calculate used JS memory.

Added: Added GameWindow API support for Windows.

Added Burst and Collections as dependency for com.unity.2d.tilemap package.

Changed Tilemap component data structure for better compatibility with jobs.

Refactored URP 2D shadow shaders into a consolidated multi-pass form with named passes (Self, UnshadowMark, UnshadowUnmark, ProjectedSelf, ProjectedUnshadow). Groundwork for upcoming custom-shader and ShaderGraph master node support; no user-visible rendering change.

Renamed the Sprite "Physics Shape" API and Sprite Editor tab to "Physics Outline" to avoid confusion with PhysicsCore2D's PhysicsShape. The old API is deprecated but still works and auto-upgrades.

Updated the Universal 2D project template to include 2D Physics Core settings.

URP's three internal 2D shadow shaders are merged into a single five-pass shader; no user-visible rendering change.

Redesigned the Insets section in Player Settings to show a table with per-inset controls for Visible, Overlapping, and Appearance.

Updated the Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) version from 9.0.0 to 9.1.1.

Updated the Gradle version shipped with the Editor from 9.1.0 to 9.3.1.

Introducing a number of command-line arguments and environment variables related to the cache server (making it possible to disable upload and download from/to the cache server of specific types of importers).

Updated Color preferences doc page.

Updated the UI system comparison table to indicate that UITK now supports animation and in-scene authoring.

Changed the Project Auditor Suppressed Issues preference to also accept spaces as a delimiter between issue IDs, in addition to commas and semicolons.

Disabled static batching by default for new projects.

Fast Enter Play Mode is now the default for projects created with the "-createProject" editor command line argument, from script code and for projects without a ProjectSettings/EditorSettings.asset file. Affected projects will now default to the "Reload Scene Only" option when entering and exiting playmode in the editor rather than "Reload Domain and Scene". Existing projects are unaffected. For more information see the online documentation:

[Enter Play mode without domain reload](https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.7/Documentation/Manual/domain-reloading.html)

[Domain and scene reload execution order reference](https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.7/Documentation/Manual/configurable-enter-play-mode-details.html).

GTK : Added Support for variable condition transition drag n drop.

GTK : Fixed an issue where the + button was not focusable.

GTK: Fixed an issue where the transition counter was off center.

Project Auditor: Added the ability to skip built-in analyzers for ones that have been migrated to the Project Auditor Rules package.

Project Auditor: bumped Rules package minimum version to 2.0.0.

Project Auditor: moved Domain Reload issues to Code pages.

Project Auditor: new severity icons/colors.

Project Auditor: removing opt-in checkbox for Roslyn.

Removed the NetCoreRuntime from the Editor install.

The macOS character palette shortcut now only opens the palette while a text field is being edited.

Tweaked some Surface Cache quality presets.

Updated the main toolbar UX, new design for toggles and better visualization of the groups of elements.

Diagnostic Data Collection is now enabled by default for every build profile, including in upgraded projects, unless a build profile explicitly disables it.

Diagnostic data is no longer collected in the Editor when the active build profile targets a platform that doesn't support Diagnostics.

Editor crash and exception reporting to Diagnostics now follows the Diagnostic Data Collection setting of the active build profile.

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.

The Diagnostic Data Collection setting in the Build Profiles window now offers Enabled and Disabled, and disabling it no longer asks for confirmation.

Added an option to hide Unity-Namespaced Systems in the System window.

Added HasHierarchy tag component to TransformRef when it becomes part of a hierarchy.

Bumped the scene serialized CurrentFileFormatVersion version number because the alignment of Entity is changed to 8 bytes.

Display meta chunk entities matching queries in System window and Search window.

Entities: com.unity.charactercontroller is now embedded as a core package in Unity.

Fixed the incorrect icon for shared and chunk components in the System window.

HierarchyColor from the Subscene monobehavior is now an error-level obsolete member.

Moved the ImHex .hexpat generation used for binary debugging of .entities files, from the UNITY_DOTS_IMHEX script define to an editor preference (Entities > Debugging).

Bake Reflection Probes no longer bakes Custom reflection probes, because it replaced their cubemap with a generated one. To bake a Custom probe, use the Bake button in its Inspector.

Lightmapping.BakeReflectionProbe now returns false and logs an error for Realtime reflection probes instead of writing a cubemap.

Migrate Surface Cache GI to use Ray Query instead of Ray Tracing Shaders.

Realtime Reflection Probes no longer use a baked fallback cubemap when Realtime Reflection Probes is disabled in Quality settings, including cubemaps baked before a probe was switched to Realtime.

Require "Raw" target for mesh vertex and index buffers. To achieve this, the "Default Mesh Buffer Target" setting should be set to "Raw" in Project Settings > Graphics.

Surface Cache global illumination now uses only the LOD level selected by the LOD Group's Global Illumination LOD, instead of every level.

Passing null to the dataType parameter in the method DataTypeStyleMapper.Register now means to not show an icon at all for a type instead of showing a default icon.

Changed AsyncGPUReadback to reject a readback whose destination NativeArray is still in use by a running job, and report the error through the callback instead of proceeding.
