Unity Version Control 11.0.16.10303

Official notes

New

  1. Change

    Windows - Desktop GUI: Unity Smart Merge available as a merge tool option: When you add a merge tool under Preferences > Merge tools > Add, you can now select Unity Smart Merge (UnityYAMLMerge). Previously, this shortcut only existed on macOS; Windows users had to locate and enter the tool path manually. The path is detected automatically for Unity 6 and earlier.

Bug

  1. Fix

    All platforms - All clients: Fixed disk move detection for identical files: When multiple tracked files had the same content but different names and were moved only on disk (not with Unity VCS or `cm mv` ), pending changes and `cm status` might pair them incorrectly and suggest incorrect renames. Move detection now prefers the candidate with the same file name when hashes match or similarity scores tie, so moves keep the correct names after the operation.

  2. Fix

    All platforms - All clients: Fixed disk move detection for identical files: The behavior applies as follows:

  3. Feature

    All platforms - Desktop GUI: Scrollbar missing when viewing an added file's contents: Previously, the diff viewer didn't show a draggable scrollbar when displaying the contents of an added file: scroll worked with the mouse wheel but not by dragging the scrollbar. This happened in the Pending changes view, the Diff window, and code reviews. The scrollbar is now shown and works correctly when viewing the contents of an added file.

  4. Improvement

    All platforms - Desktop GUI: External tool not updated when selecting a row in the Merge tools table: When selecting a row in the merge tools table under Preferences > Merge tools, the External tool field didn't update to show the tool configured for that row. The field now correctly reflects the external tool of the selected row.

All platforms - All clients: Fixed disk move detection for identical files

  1. Fix

    Desktop GUI: Wherever local moves are calculated and Find moved and renamed files and directories is enabled in Pending changes options.

  2. Fix

    Command-Line: In a full `cm status` , where local move detection is active unless you limit change types.
