Asset PipelineImprovement
Player builds no longer launch the Burst AOT compiler when no user assemblies reference Burst, speeding up build time significantly for projects that do not use Burst. (UUM-145413) First seen in 6000.6.0a8.
ScheduleUpdateBroadphase previously overwrote the dynamic-tree update's JobHandle with the static-body change-check handle before scheduling the static-tree update, dropping the dynamic-tree job from the dependency chain, which can cause job safety errors when invoking Unity.Physics systems manually (for example; as is done by Netcode for Entities).

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.).

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.

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.

Overriding these properties at runtime via cmd.SetGlobalVectorArray / MaterialPropertyBlock no longer affects URP rendering; the constant buffer binding takes precedence.
URPChange
The _AdditionalLightsPosition, _AdditionalLightsColor, _AdditionalLightsAttenuation, _AdditionalLightsSpotDir and _AdditionalLightsOcclusionProbes shader properties are now in a persistent global constant buffer. Overriding these properties at runtime via cmd.SetGlobalVectorArray / MaterialPropertyBlock no longer affects URP rendering; the constant buffer binding takes precedence.
URPChange
The _AdditionalLightsWorldToLights and _AdditionalLightsCookieAtlasUVRects shader properties are now in a persistent global constant buffer. Overriding these properties at runtime via cmd.SetGlobalMatrixArray / cmd.SetGlobalVectorArray / MaterialPropertyBlock no longer affects URP rendering; the constant buffer binding takes precedence.
