Added: Added BuildProfile.CreateBuildProfile API for creating build profiles for specified platforms and automatically installs required platform packages if not already installed.
EditorAPI change
Added: Animation: Added AnimationEventInfo ref struct as a non-allocating alternative parameter for animation event callbacks. 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.

Netcode for EntitiesImprovement
Turning off new GameObject missing connection event warning by default for entities connection flows.
Netcode for EntitiesImprovement
MaxSendRate is now bypassed when ArchetypeChunk structural changes (i.e. order changes) occur, so that ghost spawns and deletions are not delayed or rate-limited. Note that bandwidth consumption may increase marginally.

Surface per-glyph metadata to UI Toolkit's TextElement.PostProcessTextVertices.
Fixed an issue where TMP shaders always used the HDR color picker instead of matching the color mode set in the shader.
Fixed TextCore's text-generation and font-engine profiler markers (FontAsset.ReadFontAssetDefinition, FontAsset.AddSynthesizedCharacters, FontAsset.UpdateFontAssetData, FontAsset.UpdateLigatureSubstitutionRecords, FontAsset.UpdateGlyphAdjustmentRecords, TextGenerator.GenerateText, TextGenerator.Prepare, TextGenerator.CalculatePreferredValues, and the two FontEngine.TryAddGlyphsToTexture overloads) so they now produce profiler markers in builds. Previously the data only reached the profiler in the editor.

Fixed PanelRenderer Inspector changes not persisting in scenes.
Fixed Profiler batch details collection with some IL2CPP builds. (UUM-142793) First seen in 6000.6.0a6.
The "CompressTexture" profiler marker has been renamed to "CompressFullTexture" and now captures the full compression process of one texture, instead of only capturing the compression process of one image of a texture. The "CompressImage" profiler marker has been added to replace the old "CompressTexture" marker.

EditorChange
You can now select icons based on components.
EditorChange
You can now select icons based on gizmos.
EditorChange
EntityId.ToString now prints the full ulong (don't depend on this, in the future we will change this string, so you can't just parse it back using ulong.Parse. ideally you never have to serialize an EntityId, but if you absolutely have to do it, you can use EntityId.ToULong(someEntityId).ToString(), and then EntityId.FromULong(ulong.Parse(someRawEntityIdString)) to deserialize it.).
Added a new Scheduling column to the System window to highlight System ordering dependencies.
EntitiesChange
Added a toggle button to show or hide the detail view of a system in the System window.
EntitiesChange
Added system navigation buttons to the System window.
EntitiesChange
Entities Journaling (the data source for the Entity Journal Editor window) is now compiled into Player builds whenever the Managed Code Variant is Debug, Checked, or Instrumented. Release-variant non-development Players continue to strip Entities Journaling out, as before.
EntitiesChange
Fixed entity prefab node's color.
Fixed Runtime Content management being non deterministic across builds when clearing the entity cache.

Moved backbuffer and swapchain handling inside the Unity Player.
iOSChange
The default iOS and tvOS Simulator Architecture in Player Settings now matches the host machine - ARM64 on Apple Silicon Macs, X86_64 on Intel Macs. Existing projects retain their current setting.
iOSChangetvOS
Snapshots now use Unity Transport's unreliable sequenced pipeline instead of a home-baked solution, allowing Netcode to benefit from recent improvements made to that pipeline. A consequence of this is that snapshots sent by previous versions of Netcode for Entities are not compatible with this new version.
Netcode for EntitiesChange
Source generators no longer log to Console.Out
Netcode for EntitiesChange
The GhostUpdateSystem's predicted ghost history backup lookup failure case now only attempts to rollback to the snapshot if said rollback isn't too severe. This change marginally worsens correctness in exceptional cases, but prevents egregiously large rollbacks.
Netcode for EntitiesChange
Analytics events are sent to the correct table for custom display dialogs.
Package ManagerChange
Rename Custom Package... to Import Assets Package... and remove the import menu.
Package ManagerChange
UPM logs now default to <ProjectPath>/Logs/upm.log, while still honoring explicit -upmLogFile overrides.
Package ManagerChange
Changed the default behavior when deleting ScriptableObjects that were loaded from AssetBundles. OnDisable will now be called before deletion unless the setting is overridden.

PlayerChange
Updated the QNX platform logo.
QNXChange
Changed scripting runtime dependent "\[Mono/CoreCLR\]: successfully reloaded assembly" log message to universal one "Scripting: successfully reloaded assembly".

ScriptingChange
Disabled profiling during Shader Graph code generation to fix errors that occurred in some circumstances.
Changed console log message for Compute shader variant GPU uploads to more accurately reflect its result.
ShadersChange
Split compilation of D3D11 and D3D12 shaders so they may be compiled side-by-side for both renderers in a project regardless of whether or not D3D12 is compiled using DXC.
ShadersChange
Added material upgrade menu items for all SRP: "Convert All Built-In Materials to Current SRP" and "Convert Selected Built-In Materials to Current SRP".
Changed API shader path for NDA platforms from packages to shaders packed with the editor. Use UnityPlatforms/X/... instead of Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.X/.... The NDA platform shaders are unchanged.
Excluded GPU Resident Drawer code in Web platform builds that only target WebGL2.
SRP CoreChange
Migrate from UIDocument to PanelRenderer at Rendering Debugger Runtime UI.
SRP CoreChange
Shader and runtime-resource stripping decisions for diagnostic content are now driven by the build's Managed Code Variant (UNITY_ENABLE_CHECKS) instead of by the native "Development Build" flag. Builds using the Checked variant retain debug shaders and runtime resources even when the native binary is non-development; builds using the Release variant strip them even when the native binary is development.
SRP CoreChange
Various Scriptable Render Pipeline diagnostic features are now compiled into builds based on the new Managed Code Variant player setting:
SRP CoreChange
Available in Debug or Checked variants (UNITY_ENABLE_CHECKS):
Change
URP shadow-request hash validation, debug-pass handler, validation handler, debug overlay code paths.
Change
HDRP volume debug data, render-graph debug data, decal debug overlays.
Change
SRP Core debug display managers, Render Graph Viewer support (audits, debug data, builds remote debug session), and the Volume panel.
Change
Available in Debug, Checked, or Instrumented variants (UNITY_INCLUDE_INSTRUMENTATION):
Change
HDRP HDDynamicResolution GPU frame-time debug overlay.
Change
Render Graph profiling sampler plumbing (RenderGraphProfilingScope, GetDefaultProfilingSampler).
Change
URP per-pass ScriptableRenderPass.profilingSampler (used by ScriptableRenderer to wrap pass execution in a profiler scope).
Change
Release variant strips these features.
Change
TextMeshPro Mesh and TextMeshPro UI Mesh now name their internal Mesh objects in all build configurations. Previously the name was only assigned in development builds and the Editor.
TextMeshProChange
Changed some undocumented runtime behaviour of TimelinePlayable.CreateTrack.
TimelineChange
When a track is created, complex name generation and disambiguation logic would run, assigning a unique name to the track.
BeforeChange
When a track is created, if a name is provided, the track will have that name. If no name is provided, the track with have an empty, non-null name
AfterChange
If you create Timeline Tracks at Runtime and you rely on their names, validate that the names of your tracks haven't changed.
Change
Move Timeline to core package.
TimelineChange
Changed uGUI and TMP elements to always instantiate at the origin of their canvas upon creation via the editor.
Updated Profiler icons for UI Canvas modules.
Changed ordering of VisualElement.GetClasses() returned values. The order may no longer match the order in which the classes were added, but it will now guarantee to match between two elements with the same classes.
UI ToolkitChange
Unity Physics integrity checks are now compiled into Player builds whenever the Managed Code Variant is Debug or Checked. Instrumented and Release-variant builds continue to strip integrity checks. Users who want to disable them entirely can still set UNITY_PHYSICS_DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS.
Unity PhysicsChange
Adjusted SSR roughness to blur curve to more closely match reflection probe's.
URPChange
Allow stripping Film Grain textures when post processing is enabled but Film Grain is not used.
URPChange
