This new stack-allocated struct eliminates garbage collection overhead when handling animation events, providing significant performance benefits for animation-heavy scenes. AnimationEventInfo provides read-only access to all animation event parameters and state information from both Animator and legacy Animation components. Existing AnimationEvent callbacks remain fully backwards compatible.

Added: EntityId.ToULong and EntityId.FromULong for low-level access to underlying data in the EntityId. Useful for custom serialisation.

Added: GTK : Added public API to add/remove node from graph.

Added: GTK : Api to connect/disconnect wires Added public APIs to connect and disconnect wires in Graph Toolkit. The new APIs are bool Connect(IPort output, IPort input) and bool Disconnect(IPort output, IPort input).

The previously existing Schedule() method runs such jobs only on a single thread. However, for processing of large data sets (for example, many events), or if a job has a high computational cost, it can be beneficial for performance to schedule the job to run on multiple threads for parallel processing instead by using the newly provided ScheduleParallel() method.
