ContentBuildFlags.DevelopmentBuild has been removed. This flag was used to indicate whether content builds should serialize scripts with development build processor symbols. However, development builds no longer have any special preprocessor symbols and thus this flag did not do anything anymore.
Build PipelineBreaking
Deprecated: Deprecated the Write Groups API
EntitiesBreaking
Deprecated: Deprecated the HierarchySearchProvider class. The standalone Entities Hierarchy window has been replaced by the integrated Editor Hierarchy window.
EntitiesBreaking
Obsoleted: Marked HierarchySearchProvider as obsolete with an error. To find entities by component, use the t: filter in the Hierarchy window.
EntitiesBreaking
Obsoleted: Obsoleted Unity.Assertions.Assert in favour of UnityEngine.Assertions.Assert, which it forwarded to. The API Updater converts existing uses.
EntitiesBreaking
Removed: Removed the Entities Journaling window and the EntitiesJournaling API, deprecated in Unity 6.5; use the IDebugOnAdded and IDebugOnRemoved component lifecycle callbacks instead.

EditorBreakingmacOS
Removed support for Mono-based Editor
EditorBreaking
Changed the *Open in Hierarchy item in the Entity Inspector component menu to open the Hierarchy window filtered by the component type, and removed the Open in Search Window* item.
EntitiesBreaking
Removed the deprecated Entities Hierarchy window. Use the Hierarchy window to view and search entities instead.
EntitiesBreaking
Removed the Progressive CPU Lightmapper and the Lightmapper dropdown from the Lighting window; the lightmapper now follows the Default Light Baker setting in the Graphics settings, and scenes that used the Progressive CPU Lightmapper are automatically upgraded to the Progressive GPU Lightmapper.
GIBreaking
Deprecated the Baked Occlusion Culling authoring workflow in the Editor. New projects no longer expose its authoring UI, while existing projects retain the workflow and baked data and display a deprecation notice. Consider migrating to GPU Occlusion Culling where supported.
GraphicsBreaking
Removed support for x64 and Universal Simulator architectures.
iOSBreaking
PerformanceTestRunInfo.json and PerformanceTestRunSettings.json are no longer generated during player builds that do not include test assemblies, as they are only read by performance tests running inside the player. Stale files left behind by an aborted test build are removed before such builds instead of being included in them.
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.
ScriptingBreaking
Removed the Back To Front and Front To Back Render Face options from URP Shader Graphs. Shader Graphs and materials saved with these options now render front faces only.
ShadergraphBreaking
Surface shaders are now marked as deprecated.
