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.

UI ToolkitImprovement
Improved event dispatch performance when no events are queued and when callbacks are registered or unregistered during event dispatch.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Improved Smart Strings: plural formatting now works for languages without plural forms and for a count of two in French, conditional formats read numbers the same way in every culture, and dictionary lookups follow the case-sensitivity setting.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Improved style resolution performance when many elements share the same cached styles.
UI ToolkitImprovement
Improved style sheet import diagnostics: an @import placed after style rules now produces a warning explaining that its position does not affect selector priority.

UI ToolkitImprovement
Add Depth Pyramid for GTAO in URP
URPImprovement
Reduced memory use for renderers that have no additional lights or don't use the reflection probe atlas, and main thread time for cameras that see no reflection probe.
URPImprovement
The Forward+ and Deferred+ rendering paths no longer process lights and reflection probes in screen areas that only their part beyond the far plane, or in front of an orthographic camera's near plane, reaches.
URPImprovement
Improved Web Build Size by disabling Input System's Precompiled Layouts for Web Builds.
WebImprovement
Reduced Editor startup time on Windows by removing an unnecessary wait for a background device-identifier lookup.
WindowsImprovement
Windows IL2CPP builds now use .NET 10 base class libraries.
WindowsImprovement
Graphics: Reduced CPU main thread time on URP XR Quad Views by having the inner view reuse the outer view's cached volume stack instead of re-evaluating the volume framework per stacked camera per frame.
XRImprovement
Graphics: Reduced GPU frame time on Quad Views by reprojecting the outer pass's motion vectors into the inner pass instead of rendering its own motion vector pass.
XRImprovement
Improved GPU performance when QuadViews are enabled in Forward/Forward+ (and when not using SpaceWarp) via reducing the amount of redundant geometry rendering in the focus-inner region during the low-resolution periphery pass.
XRImprovement
Changes to a Light2D's custom material are now applied to the lights that use it, without a domain reload or entering Play mode.

Adaptive Performance settings assets are now generated in Assets/Settings/AdaptivePerformance, and existing assets in Assets/Adaptive Performance are moved there automatically.
Adaptive PerformanceChange
Moved Transparency Sort settings out of the Built-In tab in Graphics settings.

Shortcut actions and global input handlers now run outside of OnGUI, so Event.current is null inside them; use ShortcutArguments.sourceEvent to read the triggering event.
EntityManager.CopyEntitiesFrom no longer makes structural changes in the source world.
EntitiesChange
GameObjects now have entities with chunk storage in the active World, so entity queries match them like any other entity.

Sprite Renderer no longer applies GPU blend shapes when Mesh Deformation is set to CPU in Player Settings.
GraphicsChange
On an unfolded iPhone Duo, Display.main was the outer panel instead of the panel the game renders on, so rendering to Display 2 replaced the game and Screen.fullScreen returned false. (PLAT-22932)
iOSChange
Changed Package Manager to use the production environment when the Editor's cloud environment is set to a value other than production or staging.
Package ManagerChange
A contact cancelled by a pre-contact callback is now updated every simulation step, so the callback is called every step while the shapes stay in contact.
Changed the default "PhysicsShapeDefinition" to enable "contactEvents" and "triggerEvents", and the default "PhysicsChainDefinition" to enable "triggerEvents", so a shape only needs "isTrigger" enabled to detect other shapes.
Contact and hinge joint solving were restructured, so simulation results can differ slightly from previous versions.
Polygons created from vertices now keep vertices that are much closer together before welding them, and "PhysicsWorld.minPolygonEdgeLength" now reports this smaller distance.
Fixed Is.Not.AllocatingGCMemory() under-reporting allocations when another allocation constraint runs inside the measured delegate.
Test FrameworkChange
Changed z-index transitions between auto and an integer to switch at the midpoint of the transition instead of interpolating from 0, to match CSS.
UI ToolkitChange

Asset Import: Changed how Unity picks an asset's main object, so that objects an AssetPostprocessor adds with AddObjectToAsset no longer replaces the object the importer produces. To make an added object the main object, call AssetImportContext.SetMainObject in the postprocessor. Unity reimports all assets the first time you open an existing project, and some assets might have a different main object afterwards. Refer to the Unity 7.0 upgrade guide.
Updated the asset import pipeline, so Unity reimports all assets in a project the first time you open it in this version of the Editor.

Structs with auto-layout can now be used in Burst as long as they are not a part of a method's signature or a job's struct. This allows tuples to be used in structs that don't cross the managed-native barrier again.
BurstChange
Update the native Selection API to use ObjectPtr instead of ObjectRef.
CoreChange
Environment.Exit() now throws a PlatformNotSupportedException on the CoreCLR scripting backend. Use Application.Quit() instead.
CoreCLRChange
Changed the Editor preferences folder to Editor-7.x, which is seeded on first launch by copying the existing Editor-5.x folder so that earlier Editor versions keep their own preferences.

Changed the Project Auditor Suppressed Issues preference to also accept spaces as a delimiter between issue IDs, in addition to commas and semicolons.
EditorChange
Changing the Editor theme, Editor font, Editor language to now prompts for restart the Editor.
EditorChange
Fast Enter Play Mode is now the default for projects created with the "-createProject" editor command line argument, from script code and for projects without a ProjectSettings/EditorSettings.asset file. Affected projects will now default to the "Reload Scene Only" option when entering and exiting playmode in the editor rather than "Reload Domain and Scene". Existing projects are unaffected.

The Unity.Entities runtime now ships in the engine as UnityEngine.EntitiesModule. Its public types are forwarded from the Unity.Entities package assembly, so existing code keeps compiling.
EntitiesChange
UnityObjectRef<T> now has a public EntityId property and a FromEntityId factory method.

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
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).
