Fixed crash when a user paints a large number of Tiles onto a Tilemap GameObject with a TilemapCollider2D.
Fixed crash drawing debug visualisation for an agent with small radius and a far away destination. (UUM-133552) First seen in 6000.6.0a1.
Added a notification in the FBX Importer UI when FBX takes aren't used by any clip.
Fixed an issue where some ParticleSystem properties would be causing errors and warnings when added to AnimationClips and sampled in the AnimationWindow.

For better stability consider using "FullScreenWindow" (borderless) mode (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/demystifying-full-screen-optimizations/).
