Added a system that adjusts the frame rate based on the thermal state. When the device overheats, iOS enters Serious and then Critical thermal states. In the Critical state, iOS reduces system-wide performance to lower device temperature. With this new system Unity proactively lowers the frame rate to 30 FPS in Serious state and 15 FPS in Critical state, which helps prevent the device from becoming too hot, improves responsiveness under overheating conditions, and reduces the likelihood of GPU timeouts or rendering freezes. This feature is enabled by default and it can be toggled in the iOS Player Settings using the Adjust iOS FPS based on thermal state checkbox.

PhysicsRotate can now create rotations using either radians or degrees. Deprecated the constructor that accepted a radian angle due to the Burst compiler incompatibility. In addition, simplified its property drawer to display only its rotation without the resultant direction.

We added a new sample to the Unity Physics package, demonstrating how to use the newly introduced Direct Solver to produce an advanced game physics scenario. You can import this new "Advanced Game Physics Sample - Chain and Gears" directly into your project from the Package Manager via the Samples tab of the Unity Physics package. The sample provides an advanced physics-based game element that leverages Unity Physics' novel solver technology to simulate a complex mechanism involving gears interacting with a chain. It combines the new Direct Solver for accurate simulation of the stiff chain links and the gears with the Iterative Solver for efficient simulation of all the collisions in the scene. Unity Physics automatically couples the results of both solvers for lifelike, stable and efficient simulation results. This setup demonstrates how both solvers combined can capture exciting emerging physical behaviors at real-time simulation rates, such as the jamming of the gears caused by the chain getting stuck between the gears' teeth in this example scenario.
