Unity CLI 1.0.0-beta.3

Added persistent command history to `unity shell` . Press the Up and Down arrow keys to recall previous commands. History is capped at 1,000 entries, and secret-bearing flag values are masked before they're written to disk.

Added tab completion to `unity shell` for command names, subcommands, option flags, and option values.

Added session context and defaults to `unity shell` : `use project ` and `use org ` set an active project or organization for later commands, and `set format` , `set verbose` , and `set banner` set default global options for the session. `unset ` clears one setting and `context` displays the current state.

Added `unity shell --protocol ndjson` , a machine mode that runs a framed NDJSON request/response protocol over `stdio` so automated callers and agents can run many commands in one warm process and read one parseable result per command.

Updated piped and scripted `unity shell` sessions to exit with the code of the first failed command instead of always exiting `0` .

Added `unity editors running` to list running Unity Editor instances with the open project, Editor version, and process ID.

Added `unity projects size [project]` to report a project's on-disk size broken down by top-level folder. Use `--all` to summarize every registered project, sorted largest first.

Added `unity projects close [project]` to close the running Editor that has a project open. Use `--timeout ` to bound the graceful wait and `--force` to terminate the process when it can't exit.

Added `unity editor module remove` to remove installed modules from an Editor by module ID.

Added `unity install --list-components` as an alias for `unity modules list ` .

Added `unity run --command ` to run a registered `[CliCommand]` Editor command headlessly in a single invocation. The CLI starts the Editor in batch mode, runs the command, prints the return value, and shuts the Editor down. Requires the Unity pipeline package.

Added `--json` as a global shorthand for `--format json` on every command.

Added support for the `UNITY_PROJECT_PATH` and `UNITY_CLOUD_ORG` environment variables.

Unified flag names across commands: `--project-path` is the canonical flag for a Unity project path and `--cloud-org` for a Unity Cloud organization. The previous `--project` and `--org` spellings keep working as hidden aliases.

Added non-interactive support to `unity bug` through the `--title` , `--description` , `--steps` , `--reproducibility` , and `--email` options, so you can submit bug reports from scripts and CI.

Added the `UNITY_NO_CONSENT_PROMPT` environment variable to suppress the one-time first-run consent prompt without recording a choice.

Added terminal-integrated progress reporting through the `OSC 9;4` escape sequence. On Windows Terminal, the taskbar icon fills with download and install progress while `unity install` runs.

• Windows

Updated the CLI to terminate on `SIGTERM` with the conventional exit code `143` instead of ignoring the signal.

Updated `install.sh` on Linux to install the binary to `~/.local/bin/unity` , which is on `PATH` by default on most distributions. Re-running the installer migrates an existing `~/.unity` install.

• Linux

Added publication of the `.deb` and `.rpm` packages to Unity's apt and rpm repositories on every beta and general availability (GA) release, so package-managed installs update through the system package manager.

Added in-place AppImage updates to `unity upgrade` , including checksum verification and `--rollback` support.

Updated the background update notice to suggest the owning package manager's exact upgrade command on package-managed installs.

Fixed the MSIX package never receiving updates because every release rendered the same package version.

Fixed the Windows install one-liner failing for every user with "The assignment expression is not valid".

• Windows

Added anonymous crash and error reporting through Sentry. Reports contain no IP address or hostname, and home-directory paths and token-like values are scrubbed before sending. Set `UNITY_NO_CRASH_REPORT` to disable reporting entirely.

Expanded the opt-in usage analytics to record which commands run (registered command names only, never arguments, paths, or project names) and the outcomes of key workflows. Nothing is sent when you're opted out, which is the default.

Updated the "Recent log" section of `unity doctor` to render readable log rows instead of raw NDJSON logger lines.

Updated `unity language` to share the Unity Hub's language catalog, with display names derived from CLDR data.

Updated `unity lang --set` to accept common spellings of a language code: BCP-47 ( `ja-JP` ), locale ( `ja_JP` ), bare language ( `ja` ), or bare region ( `jp` ).

Fixed non-English locales missing translations for newer commands, so CLI output renders localized instead of falling back to English.

Hardened usage errors, the `unity bug` log-archive warning, and `unity projects add` and `unity projects remove` machine output against terminal escape-sequence injection.

Added GPG signing to the `.rpm` packages with the published Unity Technologies ApS key.

Fixed `unity upgrade` on Windows flashing a console window about a second after the command exits.

• Windows

Fixed an invalid `--proxy ` value being silently ignored. It now fails with a usage error (exit code `2` ).

Fixed editor and module downloads failing with a DNS error when the operating system proxy settings point at an unreachable proxy auto-config (PAC) URL.

Fixed `unity auth login` on Linux without `xdg-open` surfacing a confusing error. The command now prints the sign-in URL so you can open it manually. Under Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), the CLI now opens URLs through Windows interop.

• Windows
• Linux

Fixed `unity open --editor-version ` failing with "Not a Unity project" when the project has no `ProjectSettings/ProjectVersion.txt` file.

Fixed `unity open` with `--editor-version` starting a multi-gigabyte Editor download without asking. A terminal session now confirms before installing, and a non-interactive session fails fast instead.

Fixed `unity status` and `unity pipeline list` not detecting a running Editor whose project path contains a space on macOS and Linux.

• macOS
• Linux

Fixed `unity command eval` and `unity command eval_file` exiting `0` when the Editor reported a compilation error. They now exit `6` and print the compiler diagnostics.

Fixed `unity mcp` reporting failed `eval` tool calls as successful, and fixed `unity mcp` breaking permanently after an Editor script recompile.

Fixed `unity editors --installed` stalling for minutes on Windows when antivirus real-time scanning intercepts a freshly installed Editor.

• Windows

Fixed an intermittent crash at exit on Windows right after a command completed successfully.

• Windows

Fixed `unity upgrade` failing with a cross-device link error when the system temporary directory is on a different filesystem than the install directory.

Fixed `unity projects create` handing a corrupt template archive to the Editor. Template downloads are now verified against their published checksum.

Fixed `unity run --command` launching a second Editor on Windows when the project path differed only by letter case.

• Windows

Fixed the `.deb` package failing to install on minimal Debian and Ubuntu systems by declaring a dependency on `ca-certificates` , and fixed the Unity licensing client never installing on Linux systems without the `unzip` utility.

• Linux

Fixed opted-out runs sending a single anonymous analytics request in some commands. Consent off now means zero analytics requests.

Fixed `unity analytics opt-in` and `unity analytics opt-out` not permanently answering the first-run consent prompt when run from a script.
