Performance Test FrameworkBreaking
Remove deprecated BIRP support for PhysicsCore2D renderer.
Physics 2DBreaking
Removed the upgrade path for prefab data saved by Unity 3.3 or earlier, so prefab instances and per-object overrides in projects that old no longer survive being opened. Unity 6.7 warns when it loads an asset in that format.
PrefabsBreaking
DEVELOPMENT_BUILD preprocessor symbol no longer gets defined when building for any platform. Preprocessor symbols DEBUG, ENABLE_ASSERTIONS and ENABLE_PROFILER now only get defined in appropriate managed code variants (debug, checked and instrumented, respectively). BuildOptions.ForceEnableAssertions, CodeAnalysisFlags.DevelopmentBuild, ScriptCompilationOptions.DevelopmentBuild, ScriptCompilationOptions.Assertions and AssemblyBuilderFlags.DevelopmentBuild have been removed: script compilation is now only affected by the managed code variant.

UI ToolkitImprovement
Added nested formats to the Smart Strings time formatter, so a nested list format can choose the separators between time units. The time formatter also accepts a DateTime or DateTimeOffset without format text.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Importing a localization table collection now warns when two of its keys hold the same ID, or when it has no shared table data.

NGO (com.unity.netcode.gameobjects) package was updated in the editor manifest to newest major version (3.0.0).
"ManifoldPoint.normalVelocity" is now only guaranteed to be measured when the shape is bouncy or hit events are enabled, and can read zero otherwise.
"PhysicsComposer.AddLayer", "PhysicsComposer.ToPolygons", "CircleGeometry.ToPolygons" and "CapsuleGeometry.ToPolygons" now log the standard validation warning instead of throwing "ArgumentOutOfRangeException" when given no geometry, fewer than three vertices or an invalid "curveStride".
Setting "PhysicsWorld.maximumLinearSpeed" or "PhysicsWorldDefinition.maximumLinearSpeed" below "PhysicsConstants.MinMaximumLinearSpeed" now raises it to that minimum.
Loading a prefab or scene that stores prefab data in the format written by Unity 3.3 and earlier now logs a deprecation warning naming the asset. Save the asset to store it in the current format.
PrefabsChange
Changed the Editor so that it emits C# compiler warnings for immutable packages, such as packages installed from a package registry. Warnings from these packages now appear in the Console window and the Editor log.
ScriptingChange
Remove forced managed GC after a (single-mode) scene load in the CoreCLR Player.
ScriptingChange
Remove forced managed GC after a scene load in the CoreCLR Editor.
ScriptingChange
UNITY_64 preprocessor symbol no longer gets defined when building for any platform.
ScriptingChange
Changed text serialized files so they begin with a %UNITY format version directive, which makes an earlier version of Unity report an explicit error when opening a file saved in this version instead of loading it with missing data.
SerializationChange
Text serialized files such as scenes and prefabs no longer start with a %UNITY 7.0 line, so Unity 6 can open them again, and files saved with that line still load.
SerializationChange
Reflected function fallback keys now use the fully qualified signature (this will not impact correct usage of the ProviderKey hint).
ShadergraphChange
UnityEditor.Rendering.CoreBuildData.developmentBuild is now an error to use instead of a warning. It was already obsolete since Unity 6.6 and always returned false. Use UnityEditor.Rendering.CoreBuildData.useDiagnosticChecks instead.
SRP CoreChange
Updated FreeType to version 2.15.0, which adds support for mirrored Apple Color Emoji glyphs on macOS and slightly changes how text renders in the Hinted Smooth and OS Default font rendering modes.
TextChangemacOS
The URP sample template no longer includes a copy of the TextMesh Pro essential resources and uses the built-in resources from the uGUI package instead.
TextMeshProChange
Built-in USS filter functions with missing or wrong-typed arguments now use the filter's default values and log a warning instead of an error.
Changed Constant Physical Size panels to account for the Game view's Low Resolution Aspect Ratios setting when resolving scale.
UI ToolkitChange
Changed theme style sheets to rank above Unity's built-in styles regardless of selector specificity; the previous behavior can be restored with the Legacy Theme Priority setting in Project Settings > UI Toolkit.
UI ToolkitChange
Changed touch dragging of ScrollView content on world-space panels so the content follows the finger pixel for pixel, regardless of the Pixels Per Unit setting.
Importing localization shared table data that has two entries using the same key now renames the duplicate and logs a warning.
The Editor theme style sheet is now applied to the root of the Editor window panel instead of EditorWindow.rootVisualElement, so it no longer appears in rootVisualElement.styleSheets.
UI ToolkitChange
The UI Builder canvas now zooms to fit the viewport and grows to its content the first time a document opens.
UI Toolkit runtime panels no longer discard input events when the application is not focused; whether input is delivered while unfocused is now controlled by the input settings.
UI ToolkitChange
Changed how the batching runs for the completion of any remaining DebugDraw jobs still running from the previous frame in, before the streams are cleared for re-use. This may improve performance when using DebugDraw
Moved Light Falloff Mode from the URP Asset to Graphics Settings.
URPChange
Removed a warning displayed at build time in specific Light setup that is breaking build determinism for Content Directory builds.
URPChange
Removed a warning displayed at build time in specific XR setup that is breaking build determinism for Content Directory builds.
URPChangeXR
Renamed the Light Falloff Mode option from Linear to Quadratic.
URPChange
UnityEngine.XR.InputDevices.deviceDisconnected and UnityEngine.XR.InputDevices.deviceConnected, and legacy XRNode tracking-lost notifications, no longer fire across an application pause/resume for a device that is still present. InputDevice handles now stay valid across pause/resume instead of going stale. If you used those callbacks to re-acquire handles or re-apply device state on resume, use OnApplicationPause or Application.focusChanged instead.
