Added previews in the Scene view for Sprite Rect size and pivot changes that are made in the Sprite Editor window.

Added support for integrating AI-powered workflows to the Sprite Editor window.

Added a new "Force GC on Scene Load" option to the Editor Scene Handling section in the Project Settings. Disabling this option prevents forced garbage collection (GC) and unused asset unloading when loading a scene in the Editor. This can improve performance (sometimes significantly) although it can also affect when managed object finalizers are called, which, in rare circumstances, might be an issue depending on the project.

Added an option for Renderers to select and render a specific Mesh Level of Detail (LOD).

Introduced Mesh LOD, a Level of Detail (LOD) system that enables efficient rendering of LODs embedded within meshes. It includes a generator, API, and rendering functionality.

Improved diagnostic logs for parsing issues in malformed YAML text, including errors like Unknown type, Type mismatch, and Invalid Script reference.
