Deprecated: Removed deprecated TouchScreenKeyboard.Android.consumesOutsideTouches and closeKeyboardOnOutsideTap properties; Unity now always processes touches outside the on-screen keyboard.
AndroidBreaking
Added: Added a real-time counterpart to ControlContext.SendMessage for the Scriptable Audio Pipeline. This is a binary breaking change, but it's source compatible.
AudioBreaking
Added: Scriptable processors: added GeneratorInstance.CreationParameters and RootOutputInstance.CreationParameters; deprecated ProcessorInstance.CreationParameters and its implicit conversions (to be removed in a following version).
AudioBreaking
Deprecated: Deprecated various Audio APIs.
AudioBreaking
Deprecated: GameObjectUtility.AreStaticEditorFlagsSet use AnyStaticEditorFlagsSet for the previous behavior, or AllStaticEditorFlagsSet to require all flags. Existing code is automatically upgraded to AnyStaticEditorFlagsSet by the API Updater (no behavior change).
CoreBreaking
Deprecated: Deprecate Oculus XR package.
EditorBreakingXR
Obsoleted: The EntityCommandBuffer PlaybackPolicy enum has been made obsolete with errors. To apply the same set of commands more than once, record them into a new EntityCommandBuffer for each playback.
EditorBreaking
Removed: Project Auditor: Removed FirstCustomCategory from IssueCategory enum, and moved it to IssueCategoryExtensions as a static field.
EditorBreaking
Deprecated: Marked the following functions as deprecated as part of the managed component deprecation: EntityQuery.ToComponentArray<T>(), EntityQuery.GetSingleton<T>(), TryGetSingleton<T>(), GetSingletonRW<T>(), and SetSingleton<T>() for managed (class) component types, and EntityQuery.GetTransformAccessArray().
EntitiesBreaking
Removed: Baking managed components and managed shared components is no longer supported. Baker.AddComponentObject, Baker.AddSharedComponentManaged, and Baker.SetSharedComponentManaged are now compile errors. Convert your data to unmanaged IComponentData / ISharedComponentData (use UnityObjectRef<T> to reference UnityEngine.Object instances) and bake it with the unmanaged AddComponent / AddSharedComponent APIs.
EntitiesBreaking
Removed: The managed-component APIs deprecated in 6.6 are now compile errors.
EntitiesBreaking
Removed: The EntityCommandBuffer/ParallelWriter APIs for managed IComponentData and managed ISharedComponentData are now compile errors.
EntitiesBreaking
Deprecated: Deprecated both TerrainExtensions.UpdateGIMaterials overloads. Enlighten realtime Global Illumination will be removed in a future release.
GIBreaking
Deprecated: Deprecated CombineInstance.realtimeLightmapScaleOffset. Enlighten realtime Global Illumination will be removed in a future release.
GIBreaking
Deprecated: Deprecated DynamicGI.indirectScale, DynamicGI.isConverged, DynamicGI.materialUpdateTimeSlice, DynamicGI.synchronousMode, DynamicGI.updateThreshold, DynamicGI.SetEmissive, and DynamicGI.SetEnvironmentData. DynamicGI.UpdateEnvironment is not deprecated. Enlighten realtime Global Illumination will be removed in a future release.
GIBreaking
Deprecated: Deprecated LightingSettings.realtimeGI and LightingSettings.realtimeEnvironmentLighting. Enlighten realtime Global Illumination will be removed in a future release.
GIBreaking
Deprecated: Deprecated LightmapParameters.clusterResolution, LightmapParameters.irradianceBudget, LightmapParameters.irradianceQuality, LightmapParameters.isTransparent, LightmapParameters.modellingTolerance, LightmapParameters.stitchEdges, and LightmapParameters.systemTag. LightmapParameters.resolution is not deprecated, because it also sets the resolution the Progressive Lightmapper bakes terrain at. Enlighten realtime Global Illumination will be removed in a future release.
GIBreaking
Deprecated: Deprecated MeshRenderer.enlightenVertexStream. Enlighten realtime Global Illumination will be removed in a future release.
GIBreaking

GIBreaking
Added: The GraphLogger has several new properties. Each provides a List of Nodes, Ports or Variables that have been added, removed or changed (removed items simply have their guid).
Graph ToolkitBreaking
Changed: Deprecated RayTracingAABBsInstanceConfig.dynamicGeometry and replaced with RayTracingAABBsInstanceConfig.rayTracingMode. AABB ray tracing instances are now compatible with RayTracingAccelerationStructure.UpdateInstanceGeometry method.
GraphicsBreaking
Deprecated: Input.backButtonLeavesApp is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use Application.backButtonLeavesApp instead.

Removed: Removed the GameCenter implementation.
iOSBreaking
Removed: The deprecated iPhoneInput class has been removed. Use Input instead.
iOSBreaking
Removed: The obsolete managed GhostPresentationGameObjectPrefab component is now a hard error ([Obsolete(..., true)]) and no longer functional. Use the unmanaged UnmanagedGhostPresentationGameObjectPrefab instead, which references the prefabs through UnityObjectRef<GameObject>.
Netcode for EntitiesBreaking
Added: Added the PhysicsCallbacks.IPreContactCallback and PhysicsCallbacks.IPreContinuousCallback interfaces for physics shapes, replacing PhysicsCallbacks.IPreSolveCallback which is now deprecated. IPreContactCallback reports a contact before it is solved and gives you the full contact manifold to modify or cancel. IPreContinuousCallback reports a fast moving shape that is about to be stopped short of another shape, and lets you decide whether to stop it. IPreSolveCallback previously reported both of these situations through a single callback. The per shape option that enables them is now called Pre Contact Callbacks.
Physics 2DBreaking
Added: Added pointA and pointB to the physics contact manifold point, which give the contact point on each shape in world space. The existing point property is now deprecated because the two new properties replace it.
Physics 2DBreaking
Deprecated: Deprecated the PhysicsCallbacks.IPreSolveCallback interface. It reported both an existing contact and a predicted stop for a fast moving shape through a single callback, so it is replaced by PhysicsCallbacks.IPreContactCallback and PhysicsCallbacks.IPreContinuousCallback, one for each situation. The deprecated interface keeps working and still reports both, and a shape only uses it where the matching new interface is not implemented, so you can move over one at a time.
Physics 2DBreaking
Deprecated: Deprecated PhysicsWorld.WorldProfile.applyBounciness; bounciness is no longer a separate solver stage so it always reads as zero.
Physics 2DBreaking
Obsoleted: Removed PhysicsWorld and PhysicsWorldDefinition autoContactCallbacks and autoTriggerCallbacks properties as they are no longer required or used. The contact and trigger events are effectively free now and production of such events is still controlled on a per-shape basis so no behaviour has been lost.
Physics 2DBreaking
Obsoleted: Obsoleted Playable APIs Playable.SetDelay, Playable.GetDelay, as well as Playable.SetPlayState. The delay functionality can be implemented manually via ScriptPlayables, either by inserting a new playable in the chain which implements the delay, or by modifying the parent playable to handle the delay.
PlayablesBreaking
Deprecated: Deprecated PlayerSettings.gpuSkinning. Use PlayerSettings.meshDeformation instead.

EditorBreaking
Removed un-unused UnityAot2 Hashes.
IL2CPPBreaking
Removed assertions from ToFileDescriptor.
Unity Transport: The RoslynAnalyzerFix asset post-processor (and its assembly) have been removed from the package. This deprecated hook did not serve a purpose anymore since the analyzer was removed from the package in version 2.5.0.
Always automatically generate the NetcodeConfig singleton. This is a breaking change for any project that uses EntityManager.CreateSingleton<NetcodeConfig>() to create the singleton explicitly. You can update your code to use SystemAPI.GetSingleton<NetcodeConfig>() instead.
Netcode for EntitiesBreaking

Graph devs can now customize which variable types their end users have access to in the blackboard and constant types in the graph item library. Types added using BuildAvailableConstantTypes and BuildAvailableConstantTypes are implicitly added to SupportedTypes.
Graph ToolkitAPI change
Added: Added the DataTypeStyleMapper.Register(System.Type dataType, UnityEngine.Color color) overload to allow changing the color of a data type while showing a default icon.

Added: Introducing user module version for UnityAPI module for Swift project type.
iOSAPI change
Added: The former com.unity.collections has been moved into an engine module, namely ManagedKernelModule. It is now available irrespective of whether the package is used, and the package is reduced to a set of typeforwarders. As part of this move, the scripting define UNITY_DOTS_DEBUG no longer controls extra checks in players in Native and Unsafe collections (although it still does control many extra checks in Entities); now you need to use the Checked (or Debug) managed code variant to include those checks in player builds.
Added: Added support for replicating non-uniform (3D) scale via the Unity.Transforms.PostTransformMatrix component, using the new built-in PostTransformMatrix3DScaleVariant. Rather than sending the full float4x4 matrix, only the per-axis scale is extracted and replicated (as three quantized floats by default). Existing ghost prefabs will have the DontSerializeVariant set by default for PostTransformMatrix to not break existing behavior. Use the new SubType = GhostFieldSubType.PostTransformMatrixScale to create your own Variants.
Netcode for EntitiesAPI change
Added: Added PhysicsSceneLoadScope which can be used to control which physics scene is used when loading a unity scene asset. This effectively allows grouping multiple unity scenes under a specific physics scene.
PhysicsAPI change
Added: Added "ChainSegment.UpdateSegments()" to update the segments. This compliments the existing "ChainSegment.CreateSegments()".
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added "Get()" extension method to all Physics "object" types to allow users to work around not being able to use a setter property on a returned object without first assigned to a local variable. Added to PhysicWorld, PhysicsBody, PhysicsShape, PhysicsChain, PhysicsJoint and all concrete PhysicsJoints.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added "PhysicsUserData.vector3IntValue" property of type Vector3Int. This will allow per-shape tilemap position references.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added a "massOverride" property to PhysicsBody and PhysicsBodyDefinition that selects which of the mass, rotational inertia and center of mass use authored values instead of being calculated from the attached shapes.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added a "PhysicsEvents.WorldTransformPlaneChange" event which is called when a PhysicsWorld transform plane is changed.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added a batch overload of "SetOwnerUserData()" to PhysicsShape, PhysicsBody, and PhysicsJoint.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added a selectedDrawing property to PhysicsBody, PhysicsShape and PhysicsJoint, batch SetSelectedDrawing methods, and PhysicsWorld.ClearDrawSelected, so individual objects can be drawn persistently when the world is drawn.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added a static PhysicsWorld.DrawShapes method that draws a span of shapes into their worlds.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added an autoAxis option to the slider and wheel joint definitions that derives the joint axis from the joint anchors when the joint is created.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added an extension method to "NativeArray<T>" of "Filter()", providing a lazy, allocation-free, Burst-compatible filtered view over physics result arrays (object creation, queries, events, and other operations). We've added a "IPhysicsResultFilter<T>" and "PhysicsResultEnumerable<T, TFilter>" to allow custom filter methods to be used.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added an owner key overload to PhysicsShape "DestroyBatch()", PhysicsBody "DestroyBatch()", and PhysicsJoint "DestroyBatch()", plus their PhysicsWorld "DestroyShapeBatch()"/"DestroyBodyBatch()"/"DestroyJointBatch()" equivalents.

Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added autoAnchorA and autoAnchorB properties to PhysicsJoint and PhysicsJointDefinition.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added autoDistance property to PhysicsDistanceJoint and PhysicsDistanceJointDefinition.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added PhysicsWorld.drawAtTransform and PhysicsWorldDefinition.drawAtTransform to draw bodies, shapes, and joints at their assigned Transform's pose instead of their simulated physics pose.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added PhysicsWorld.ExplosionDefinition.useTriggers to control whether an explosion applies an impulse to trigger shapes.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added PhysicsWorld.minEdgeLength, PhysicsWorld.minPolygonEdgeLength, and PhysicsWorld.minPolygonCollinearDistance to expose geometry validity thresholds, and an areEdgesValid property to SegmentGeometry, CapsuleGeometry, ChainSegmentGeometry, and PolygonGeometry to check a geometry's edges against them.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added PhysicsWorld.stateHash, which returns a hash of the current state of the world. Use it to compare the state of two worlds, for example when checking that a simulation is deterministic. The value is recalculated over the whole world each time you read it, so avoid reading it every frame.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added PhysicsWorld SetName() and GetName() methods to allow assigning of a 64 character name to help with world identity during debugging.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added: "PhysicsMath.TryGetRelativeMatrix2D()" and "PhysicsMath.TryGetPlaneMatrix2D()", which compute a 2D relative transform without ever returning a NaN result for a degenerate or flattened scale. These are often required when authoring components and help calculate relative transformation between two in a Transform hierarchy.
Physics 2DAPI change
Added: Added: PhysicsBody, PhysicsShape and PhysicsJoint now each have a "drawTarget" property, selecting which Unity editor views (Scene view, Game view or both) the object is drawn into when the world is drawn.
Physics 2DAPI change
Changed: Added an optional Display Name property to ProfilerCounterDescriptor for improved readability.
ProfilerAPI change

ScriptingAPI change
Added: New public API, Detach(node) and DetachChildren(node) on Hierarchy and HierarchyCommandList. A detached node keeps its data map entry but is unreachable from Root.
ScriptingAPI change
Added: New public API, IHierarchyNodeTypeHandlerViewModelState, and GetOrCreateHandlerState<T>, TryGetHandlerState<T> and DestroyHandlerState on HierarchyViewModel, for node type handler state that belongs to a single view model. HierarchyNodeTypeHandlerBase.SearchBegin, SearchMatch and SearchEnd gained overloads taking the HierarchyViewModel running the search.

Added a new Single World Host mode for client-hosted servers, instead of using binary client and server worlds. This the new default for netcode host world creation. This new mode removes the overhead of having to run two worlds in the same process by running both client and server systems in the same world. With this, no more useless serialization/deserialization, useless rollback and replay, useless worlds doing the same thing. See the documentation for pros and cons. For existing projects transitioning to this new mode, please see the documentation for migration advice, as this is not a seamless transition. For those not wishing to use this new mode, you can change this back in your NetcodeConfig project settings using the HostWorldModeSelection setting.
Netcode for EntitiesFeatureServer

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.
The Burst compiler server now starts asynchronously during editor initialization, reducing editor startup time.
DataStreamReader and DataStreamWriter no longer use a scratch field, allowing fixed-bit-sized packed writes to earlier positions in the buffer (via a copy of the writer) without data corruption.
CoreImprovement
Cherry-picked an upstream JIT fix that corrects an inverted Tier0 box-sharing guard, so Enum.HasFlag calls compiled at Tier0 get an exact-typed box and elide the allocation entirely instead of boxing both operands on every call (upstream dotnet/runtime #130590).
CoreCLRImprovement
The bundled CoreCLR runtime has been updated to a newer .NET 10 (release/10.0) servicing build, incorporating upstream fixes across the JIT, GC, COM/interop and cryptography, plus platform-specific fixes for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS and the browser.

If the physics simulation produces a PhysicsBody transform with either NaN or Infinite values due to an unstable simulation then, if the body is writing to transforms, it is immediately disabled and its owner name (GameObject, Component or Transform) reported to the console with no transform writing done. This stops the Transform from containing invalid values and reports the identity of the object in question exactly when it occurs.
Physics 2DImprovement
Improved Physics Core 2D contact solver performance.
Physics 2DImprovement
Improved the Physics Outline Sprite Editor algorithm which now produces sprite contours that are more efficient for physics, avoiding collinearity and now uses vertex-spacing rules alongside minimal decomposition area and has sub-pixel accuracy. The overall improvement is a better default guess at the outlines and holes formed from a sprite.
Physics 2DImprovement
Improved the PhysicsCore2D SDF debug-draw shaders for better overall performance, per-pixel accuracy, and reduced aliasing when viewing at low angles.
Physics 2DImprovement
Increased the PhysicsWorld.DrawThickness maximum from 5 to 10 pixels.
Physics 2DImprovement
Merged the Physics Core 2D project-settings pages into a single page and the settings asset Inspector now shows the full settings for direct editing.
Physics 2DImprovement
PhysicsBody.SetBatchTransform() now has an additional "bool writePoses" flag to control if the Unity Transform are written to after the PhysicsBody poses are updated.
Physics 2DImprovement
PhysicsEvents of ContactBeginEvent, ContactEndEvent, TriggerBeginEvent and TriggerEndEvent can now be collated to produce a single Begin and End callback pair rather than multiple per-shape. This is critical to allow for "collider-style" callback behaviour where a logical group of shapes reports as a single compound shape.
Physics 2DImprovement
PhysicsJoint definitions now display as grouped, collapsible sections in the Inspector. Property drawers organize each definition into Anchors, Spring, Motor, Limit, Thresholds, Tuning and Drawing, so a definition reads as a handful of rows instead of a long flat list.
Physics 2DImprovement
PhysicsSpace now has several batch getter/setter methods to reduce round-trips from the engine including "SetBatchProxyAABB()", "GetBatchProxyAABB()", "GetBatchProxyCategories()", "GetBatchProxyUserHandle()" and "GetBatchProxyShapes".
Physics 2DImprovement
PhysicsSpace now has the ability to specify a bound world with "PhysicsSpace.Create(PhysicsWorld)". With a world bound, PhysicsShape can be synchronized with "PhysicsSpace.SyncShapes()" overloads.
Physics 2DImprovement
The PhysicsHingeJoint no longer draws redundant circles at its anchor points. No other joint does this.
Physics 2DImprovement
Updated PhysicsCoreSettings2D asset icon.
Physics 2DImprovement
PhysicsFixedJoint now uses a separate solving path when both the linear and angular frequencies are set to zero indicating full stiffness. This has always been a special set of values but now is much stiffer removing visible "ringing" artifacts when the bodies are relatively far apart and changing in both position and rotation.
Physics 2DImprovement
The PrefabImporter can now run out-of-process when "parallel import" (in ProjectSettings/Editor) is ON.
PrefabsImprovement
Improved our Lifecycle system to allocate less memory on hot paths.
Surface assembly references from the MSBuild compilation pipeline.
ScriptingImprovement
Gave subgraph node dropdowns an opaque background.
Improved padding on inline sliders.
Shader graphs with long path names should now open correctly.
Suppress superfluous warning messages when slot count changes from keyword/dropdown properties.
Updating unlisted shader properties via Material Set[Type] APIs mark the material dirty.
ShadersImprovement
Added the IRenderGraphPassData interface that allows users to implement a Reset() method in their render graph pass data to clean up PassData object before they enter the object pool.
SRP CoreImprovement
Improved RgbToHsv accuracy.
Render Graph Viewer - Allow opening the C# code and line where a texture was imported or created.
SRP CoreImprovement
The TextScriptImporter can now run out-of-process when "parallel import" (in ProjectSettings/Editor) is ON.
TextImprovement
The TrueTypeFont importer can now run out-of-process when "parallel import" (in ProjectSettings/Editor) is ON.
TextImprovement
Improved how uGUI handles mesh data to reduce general overheads from uGUI Graphic objects.
uGUIImprovement
Improved the tween engine with performance optimizations. Removed duplicate tween engine implementations from the TMP assemblies.
uGUIImprovement
Improved accuracy of time measurements in USS Stats window (experimental).
UI ToolkitImprovement
Improved main scene editing Overrides menu.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Improved performance and memory usage of VisualElement class list.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Improved Theme Style Sheet (.tss) references so newly written USS imports use GUID-based asset URIs, preventing references from being lost when the USS file is renamed or moved. Existing hand-authored relative imports remain supported, and users who prefer relative paths can still hand-edit them after saving.
Improved USS selector matching performance for complex selectors and for elements that match many selectors in the same stylesheet.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Shader Graph support for UIToolkit Filters.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Improved the performance of undoing and redoing reparenting actions in deep and wide hierarchies.
Undo SystemImprovement
Improved query performance for Collector Types (Any, Closest, All) for query types: Raycast, ColliderCast, Point Distance and Collider Distance, when casting against a MeshCollider. Improvement is particularly observable with Burst enabled.
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).
Unity PhysicsImprovement
Added contact hardening (distant-dependent reflections) to Screen Space Reflections for URP. This is controlled by 2 new settings: Contact Hardening Scale and Contact Distance Bias.
URPImprovement
Enabled WebGPU builds to use URP persistent constant buffers for faster pre-draw call shader setup at runtime.
URPImprovement
Removed the Visual Scripting package from the 3D URP template to improve Editor startup time.
URPImprovement
Rendering Debugger - Frame Settings - Improved the messaging on Frame Settings, and improved how the configured data is shared among multiple scene cameras.
URP: Removed unused SSBO code paths for additional lights/shadows/light cookies on both C# and shader sides.
URPImprovement
Urp_ZBins and urp_Tiles constant buffers used in Forward+ have been converted to SSBOs (except Switch 1, WebGL/GL/GLES) for better performances and lower constant buffer pressure.
URPImprovementWebGL
Reduced memory consumption in Release builds. In Release builds, Profiler.GetTotalAllocatedMemoryLong() and Profiler.GetTotalReservedMemoryLong() now report the size the allocator actually reserved rather than the size that was requested, so a higher value than before does not mean that more memory is used.
VisionOSImprovement
Reduced memory consumption when UnityDefaultAllocator is used in Release builds. Profiler.GetTotalAllocatedMemoryLong() and Profiler.GetTotalReservedMemoryLong() now report the size the allocator actually reserved rather than the size that was requested when UnityDefaultAllocator is used in Release builds, so a higher value than before does not mean that more memory is used.
WebImprovement
Improved performance of issuing async reads with DirectStorage.
WindowsImprovement
Improved performance on loading archive files with DirectStorage enabled.
WindowsImprovement
NVUnityPlugin.pdb is now available inside the Unity installation on disk and on Unity's symbol server.
WindowsImprovementServer
Graphics: Allow shader permutation to persist during building, allowing non-shadowed stencil deferred lights to avoid expensive shadowing calculations.
XRImprovement
Graphics: Improved GPU performance of stencil deferred point and spot light draws by specializing the per-light fragment shader per light type, letting point lights skip cone-angle math and spot lights skip a runtime shadow-map-face branch.
XRImprovement
Improved GPU performance when QuadViews are enabled in Deferred rendering (when not using SpaceWarp) via reducing the amount of redundant geometry rendering in the focus-inner region during the low-resolution periphery pass.
XRImprovement
QuadViews: Allow LUT information to be reused within inner/outer views.
XRImprovement
QuadViews: Defer the submission of render commands to the final inner quad view pass to improve XR CPU performance.
XRImprovement

Archives built with LZ4 compression now store each compressed chunk at a 16 byte aligned offset and cut chunks on file and serialized object boundaries. Previously chunks were packed back to back at arbitrary offsets and mixed data from unrelated files and objects, so changing a single asset shifted every following chunk and produced a patch close to the size of the whole archive. This mainly matters on platforms with strict patch size limits The archive file format version is bumped to 9: older archives are still read, but archives written by this version cannot be read by earlier Unity versions. (UUM-152367) First seen in 6000.7.0b1.

Fixed an error and corrupted managed references when removing a remapped asset from an importer that uses [SerializeReference] fields. (UUM-152385) First seen in 6000.7.0b2.
SerializeReference fields being given the wrong reference, or none at all, when a serialized array or list of a class type contained a null element.
Fixed render passes not being merged on older iOS devices (Apple GPU family 3 and below) once a native pass was considered to be over the on-tile pixel storage limit, which serialized the whole frame into one native pass per render pass.
Fixed a crash when a script updates tree instances on a terrain whose tree prototypes cannot be instanced.

Fixed "Create Template..." in the UI Viewport not carrying the element's name over to the new template instance, which broke USS selectors and UQuery lookups targeting that name. (UUM-151671) First seen in 6000.7.0a6.
Fixed "Create Template..." in the UI Viewport silently overwriting a UXML file that the selected element instantiates, which destroyed the file's contents through a circular reference. (UUM-151655) First seen in 6000.7.0a6.
Fixed "Unpack Template" in the UI Viewport discarding attribute overrides that target elements inside nested template instances. (UUM-151606) First seen in 6000.7.0a6.

Bug ReporterFix
Added support to reserve capacity of PersistentManager.Remapper in Memory Settings (Main Allocators > Other Allocators > Remapper Initial Capacity).
Building will now fail if scene callbacks throw an exception or crash, regardless of strict mode.
Command line Player builds no longer spend extra time on a build analytics step that could not complete. The step ran before the build data it reads was written, so it failed on every Player build and collected nothing.
Content Directory builds are properly stripping LODs and Editor-Only Objects from a scene before calling the scene build callbacks and batching the static meshes.
ContentLayout.json (produced by content directory builds) now includes an OutputLFID field on each LoadableObjectIds entry. Previously only the source object's identifier was recorded, so tools could not correlate a loadable with its exact object in the build output without also reading BuildManifest.json. The ContentLayout.json schema version is now 2.

Fixed case of DataStreamReader and DataStreamWriter intermittently corrupting packed data on 32-bit ARM (armeabi-v7a) players under IL2CPP. The bit-packing fast path read and wrote its 64-bit word by casting the buffer pointer and dereferencing it ((ulong)(buffer + byteIndex)) at an arbitrary byte offset; that is an unaligned 64-bit access, which is undefined behavior on ARMv7 and silently returned mangled bytes. The word is now transferred with a byte-wise copy (UnsafeUtility.MemCpy), which is alignment-safe on every architecture, and folds back to a single load/store on targets that allow unaligned access.
Fixed crash when calling GameObjectUtility.GetStaticEditorFlags, SetStaticEditorFlags, AreStaticEditorFlagsSet, GetNavMeshArea, SetNavMeshArea, GetNavMeshLayer, or SetNavMeshLayer with a null GameObject argument. These now throw ArgumentNullException instead.
Fixed Transform serialized values not being properly initialized when cloning GameObjects.
Revert problematic string operation optimizations.
Avoid creating D3D12 device twice.
Enabled URP_Lighting test suite.
DX12Fix
Fixed an editor CPU performance regression in passes using DrawNullGeometry (fullscreen blits, post-processing, VFX quads) caused by running shader reflection on every draw call.
Fixed an issue where VRAM used by small textures wasn't released back to the GPU driver after the textures were destroyed when using the Direct3D12 graphics API on Windows. You can now tune the small-texture heap size with the d3d12-small-texture-tiles-per-heap boot config parameter to balance VRAM reclamation against heap-allocation overhead.
Fixed random crash in RenderSurfaceD3D12::Reset.
Hardware Dynamic Resolution on D3D12 no longer produces a bright-pixel corruption artifact on AMD GPUs caused by uninitialised placed-resource compression metadata after a resolution-scale switch.
HDRP Sample projects no longer spam D3D12 validation error (category 9, id 1422) on startup.
Placed-resource aliasing on D3D12 no longer emits repeated D3D12 validation errors (category 9, id 1422) during Hardware DRS operation.
Start tracking d3d12 resources using D3D12Object class on remaining D3D12 platforms similarly to how desktop does this.
Added a developer-mode project setting to toggle persistent constant buffers for global shader variables.

Added HasHierarchy tag component to TransformRef when it becomes part of a hierarchy.
EntitiesChange
Bumped the scene serialized CurrentFileFormatVersion version number because the alignment of Entity is changed to 8 bytes.
EntitiesChange
Display meta chunk entities matching queries in System window and Search window.
EntitiesChange
Entities: com.unity.charactercontroller is now embedded as a core package in Unity.
Fixed the incorrect icon for shared and chunk components in the System window.
EntitiesChange
HierarchyColor from the Subscene monobehavior is now an error-level obsolete member.
EntitiesChange
Moved the ImHex .hexpat generation used for binary debugging of .entities files, from the UNITY_DOTS_IMHEX script define to an editor preference (Entities > Debugging).
EntitiesChange
Migrate Surface Cache GI to use Ray Query instead of Ray Tracing Shaders.
GIChange
Require "Raw" target for mesh vertex and index buffers. To achieve this, the "Default Mesh Buffer Target" setting should be set to "Raw" in Project Settings > Graphics.
GIChange
Surface Cache global illumination now uses only the LOD level selected by the LOD Group's Global Illumination LOD, instead of every level.
GIChange
Passing null to the dataType parameter in the method DataTypeStyleMapper.Register now means to not show an icon at all for a type instead of showing a default icon.
Graph ToolkitChange
Moved mesh deformation compute shaders to from default built-in resources to built-in extra resources.
GraphicsChange
Changed the run mode of a local player (Scenario Control / Manual Control) to be stored per developer instead of in the scenario asset, so it no longer travels with the asset in version control. Existing scenarios reset to Scenario Control the first time you open them in this version.
MultiplayerChange
N4E is now a regular editor-independent package, where previously it was built-in.
Netcode for EntitiesChange
Changed the signature window to be more consistent and display more information about the installed package.
Package ManagerChange
Help boxes learn more links are at the end of the text in the Package Manager window.
Package ManagerChange
Changed the default value of PhysicsBodyDefinition.transformWriteMode from Off to Interpolation. Existing PhysicsCoreSettings2D assets are unaffected; only newly created assets use the new default.
Physics 2DChange
Changed PhysicsWorld.Explode so that it no longer applies an impulse to trigger shapes by default.
Physics 2DChange
Added an infobox to Build Profiles window that informs you of the new Managed Code Variants feature. This infobox can be permanently dismissed by pressing the "Dismiss" button.
ScriptingChange
Added CoreCLR runtime, .NET base class library, and managed Unity engine PDBs to the public symbol server.
ScriptingChangeServer
Changed the Dictionary Inspector warning about ignored entries to offer both Select First and Select All buttons when more than one entry is ignored.
Dictionary fields can now use a class or struct key, or a struct value, that contains a SerializeReference field.
SerializationChange
Renamed the Reset to Defaults item in the Dictionary Inspector header context menu to Reset Layout, to make it clear that it restores only the drawer layout and not the dictionary contents.
Moved the Particle Shader Graph sample from the HDRP package to the Shader Graph package.
ShadergraphChange
Always show the UXML document link and asset actions in the element inspector header outside the UI Stage.
UI ToolkitChange
AttributeOverrides are now shown as disabled during main stage authoring.
UI ToolkitChange
Changed the Text attribute field to 3 lines by default instead of 1 when editing in the UI Builder or Scene inspector.
UI ToolkitChange
Added _AdditionalLightsCookieEnableBits and _AdditionalLightsLightTypes to the LightCookies CBuffer.
URPChange
Allow skipping of shadow, prepass, opaque, and transparent passes when the culling/layer masks would mean nothing would be drawn.
URPChange
Mata passes for GI no longer requires _EMISSION but checks purely from gi material flags.
URPChange
Reordered the Screen Space Ambient Occlusion pass when After Opaque is enabled. In previous versions, it used to run in the BeforeRenderingTransparents point in the frame. Now it runs in the AfterRenderingOpaques point in the frame.
URPChange
The _AdditionalLightsWorldToShadow and _AdditionalShadowParams 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.
URPChange
Moved the "Restart VFX" shortcut from Shift+Space to Slash.
Provided clear messaging that custom light probes are not fully supported in VFX Graph yet.
Further reduce the code size of Web builds using the "Disk Size" Code Optimization settings. Testing across multiple projects and devices showed that compared to the default "Shorter Build Time" setting, "Disk Size" reduced code size by an average of 8.75%, with this change the reduction is now an average of 21.35%. As always these settings are a trade-off between size and runtime performance, the same testing showed that the average frame time performance regression grows from 2.13% to 4.56% with the performance regression being reduced when LTO is enabled.
WebChange
Move progressive asset loading data files to Build directory of player build output.
WebChange
Updated deprecation message for WebAssembly 2023.
WebChange
DirectStorage is now enabled by default in new projects for the Windows Standalone player.
