Added a Warnings section in Settings > Notifications for hiding project and template warnings, such as the missing Editor warning and render pipeline deprecation notes.

Switching the release channel or update server in Settings > Advanced now cancels an update in progress and checks the new one instead.

The running Windows MSIX Hub’s taskbar button now shows the Unity logo instead of a blank white page.

When another Unity Hub handles sign-in links, the “Use this Hub for sign-in links” offer now also appears during a browser sign-in.

Multi-line text fields, such as Report a bug and command line arguments, now wrap long text with no spaces and keep blank lines. Home, End, Up, and Down now move the caret by row.

Screen readers now read the account menu and license cards.
Projects
- Change
After you confirm an Editor version upgrade in the Hub, the Editor no longer asks you to confirm it again.

The Location folder picker in New project now opens at the folder in the Location field.
- Change
“Start project” in Get set up now uses your own template for the current Editor’s tutorial when you have one.

Long tag names now show in full in their tooltip in the Tags filter and the Tags column.
- Change
Keyboard navigation in the Projects list now works right after you Tab into it.
- Change
The Platform filter, the Editor picker, and template details now call WebGL “Web”, matching the Installs page.

- Fix
Fixed an issue where connecting a project to a new GitLab repository left the repository empty.
- Fix
Fixed GitHub repository search failing with “Something went wrong” for accounts in two or more organizations, and for searches with AND, OR, NOT, or a very long pasted term. Try again now keeps the search you typed.

Branch search for GitHub and GitLab now finds a pasted branch name with a leading or trailing space.
- Change
A link that opens a project on a branch you haven’t checked out yet now switches to that branch instead of failing.
- Change
Git errors now show Git’s real reason instead of network diagnostics.
- Fix
Fixed an issue where a new Unity Version Control project could skip its initial check-in, or on Windows leave out a file with a non-ASCII name. The Hub now warns you and tries again the next time the Editor reconnects.
- Windows
- Change
Adding a project from Unity Version Control now lists the organization’s projects right away, and shows the organizations that loaded even when part of the list fails.
- Change
A Unity Version Control changeset or branch that can’t be checked because of a connection problem now offers Try again instead of being reported as invalid.
