Unity Hub 4.0.0

Official notes

General

  1. Change

    Unity Hub is now a native app. It has been rebuilt from the ground up with the features you already use, starts faster, and is about a quarter of the download size. Updating replaces your Unity Hub 3 install.

  2. Change

    The Unity CLI replaces the Hub's command-line mode ( `--headless` ). Each former Hub command now names the Unity CLI command that replaces it, such as unity install or unity editors. To keep using Hub CLI commands, install Unity Hub 3.22.6, the last version of Unity Hub 3.

  3. Security

    Added a “Send crash reports” setting in “Settings > Security & Privacy”. It's on by default, takes effect without a restart, and also covers crash reports from the bundled Unity CLI.

  4. Change

    Press Cmd+F (Ctrl+F on Windows and Linux) to jump to the search field on Projects, Templates, and Installs.

    • Windows
    • Linux
  5. Change

    On Linux, Unity Hub is now available as a Flatpak, alongside the AppImage and the .deb and .rpm packages.

    • Linux
  6. Improvement

    Updated usage analytics defaults for new installs.

  7. Change

    When you’re signed in, your usage analytics setting is now saved to your Unity account, so it’s the same on every device where you use the Hub or the CLI.

  8. Improvement

    Updated the bundled Unity CLI to 1.0.0.

  9. Change

    Unity Editor versions 2017.2 to 2018.4 no longer get your account details from the Hub, so they show you as signed out. Projects still open from the Hub as before.

  10. Change

    When an Editor or another app asks the Hub to open a folder that isn’t in your Projects list, the Hub now asks you first.

  11. Change

    After you confirm an Editor version upgrade in the Hub, the Editor no longer asks you to confirm it again.

  12. Change

    The Hub now reads the Unity Editor’s proxy variables, `UNITY_PROXYSERVER` and `UNITY_NOPROXY` , so it routes traffic the same way the Editor does.

  13. Change

    On Linux, the Hub now finds proxy passwords stored in the system keyring for the Unity Editor and the Licensing Client.

    • Linux
  14. Fix

    Fixed an issue on Linux where an Editor started from the AppImage couldn’t find the Hub after the Hub restarted.

    • Linux

Projects

  1. Deprecation

    Added a “Warnings” section to “Settings > Notifications” for hiding project and template warnings, such as the missing Editor warning and render pipeline deprecation notes. You can also hide a warning from its tooltip, with “Undo” in the confirmation.

  2. Feature

    Added a way to bring back banners you dismissed, in “Settings > Notifications”.

  3. Deprecation

    Projects and templates that use the High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) now show a deprecation warning for every Editor version. In the New project flow, HDRP templates sort last and are never selected by default.

  4. Change

    Saving a project that's open in the Editor as a custom template is now refused, instead of producing a template with a corrupted asset cache.

Source control

  1. Security

    Unity Hub now uses your operating system's credential manager or Git Credential Manager to sign in to GitHub and GitLab. If you don't have a credential helper, “Settings > Security & Privacy” offers to install Git Credential Manager.

  2. Change

    Unity Hub now works with projects whose Git remote uses SSH, and says what went wrong when an SSH connection fails.

  3. Change

    You can now use a different Git account for each organization and each project. Add project from repository shows which Git account the Hub will use and lets you pick another.

  4. Change

    The Hub now notices when you sign in to GitHub or GitLab from a terminal, an IDE, or your browser.

  5. Change

    Cloning a Git repository now shows real progress, Cancel stops the download, and Git LFS files arrive as real files when Git LFS is installed.

Installs

  1. Feature

    Added “Copy path” to an Editor's menu on the Installs page.

  2. Removal

    An Editor or module removed outside the Hub, for example with `unity uninstall` , now leaves the Installs page within a few seconds.

  3. Fix

    Fixed an issue on Windows where an Editor was reported as installed when its install location was too long for all of its files.

    • Windows

Licenses

  1. Change

    The Licenses list now updates when a license changes outside the Hub, for example when an Editor activates a seat.

Security

  1. Security

    On macOS and Linux, the Hub’s data folder and saved bug reports are now private to your user from the first launch.

    • macOS
    • Linux
  2. Security

    On Windows, the Hub now starts the Command Prompt and Windows PowerShell from the Windows system folder, so a program with the same name elsewhere can’t run instead.

    • Windows

Pick your Unity version

Unity Releases compares releases against the version your project is on. Picking it now keeps Compare versions focused on what changes between where you are and where you might be going.
