When accessing these values inside shaders, they are casted to MSL half (16-bit) for faster arithmetic operations. Any project that uses min16float or half in shaders and accesses this data as 16-float (from CPU) on iOS is incompatible with this change. For these cases, a new #pragma metal_fxc_allow_float16_in_cpu_visible_buffers was added so that HLSL min16float variables are converted to MSL half in all CPU visible buffers (just like before).

When Run in background was true and Mute Other Audio Sources* was true, Unity ran, only the Unity app's sound would be audible if its window has focus. Sound is muted when the Unity window is not in focus. In multi-window mode, if "Run in background" was false, Unity would not run and sound stopped playing.

Fixed an incorrect tooltip for the Render Face property in the Material Inspector.
Fixed an issue in the initial rendering of the preview in the Inspector window, where the ambient color of the default sky would not be readyready (a black ambient color) because of lag with the GPU readback of the SH coefficients.

AndroidChange
Unity will no longer need to force debugging symbols if Unity Cloud Diagnostics (UCD) is enabled. Users can manually choose the appropriate debug symbol level. Choosing the level affects how stack traces are resolved by UCD. For example, public symbols are enough to properly resolve function names, while debugging symbols provide filenames and line numbers. Debugging symbols, due to their size can increase build time and build size, which might be a limitation for some users.

The service packages grouping is improved in the *Package Manager Service* tab.
