• Scripting: Added support for new managed code stripping annotation attributes.
• Scripting: Added support for Unity Version Defines in Assembly definition import options.
• This feature improvement allows scripts to easily specify different code snippets for different Unity version ranges. This is especially useful for introducing calls to newly added public APIs, in which case these API calls need to be guarded by defines based on a Unity version range of a given Unity version or later.
• The Unity version range expression syntax is the same as the package version range expressions. The Unity version format differs from the package version format, so Unity version expressions are evaluated based on some rules specific to the Unity version format.

Changes:

• 2D: Updated com.unity.2d.sprite package license.
• 2D: Updated com.unity.2d.tilemap package license.
• Android: Removed use of QualitySettings.vSyncCount for Android.
• Android: Vulkan is no longer preferred over OpenGL ES when using Android 7 and for all Mali Midgard GPUs.
• Asset Import: When Meshes have no material defined in the imported file, the ModelImporter now assigns the default material to them rather than creating a ‘No name’ material sub-asset.
• Burst: Burst enters RC phase.
• Burst: Burst now uses platform-provided memory intrinsics for iOS, tvOS, WASM, and console platforms.
• Burst: Bursted DOTS Runtime Jobs are now decorated with [NativePInvokeCallback] instead of [MonoPInvokeCallback]. This fixes the problem where [MonoPInvokeCallback] jobs could generate callback wrappers which could cause native code to inadvertently interop with the managed VM.
• Burst: Changed how exceptions throw types and messages are stored in our Burst binaries to reduce binary size.
• Burst: Changed the Burst menu-item Safety Checks to a modal choice of Off, On, or Force On. Force On will overwrite any user job or function-pointer with DisableSafetyChecks = true. To avoid users falling into the consistent trap of having Safety Checks set to Off, any reload of the Editor will issue a warning telling the user that Safety Checks have been reset to On.
• Burst: Changed to inliner heuristics to improve build time and reduce executable size.
• Burst: DOTS Runtime shares the logging code path with the general case.
• Burst: Eager-compilation is now cancelled when script compilation starts, to prevent spurious errors related to recompiled assemblies.
• Burst: Exception strings no longer contain the entry-point name of the job/function-pointer that caused the throw. This change was required because the Burst compiler has to produce deterministic results from any given compile, which is fundamentally opposed to per-entry-point function derivations.
• Burst: Improved Burst initialization time.
• Burst: Improved Burst Inspector loading time.
• Burst: Improved eager-compilation performance.
• Burst: Improved performance of “eager-compilation” (scheduling compilation immediately after assemblies are changed) by cancelling queued eager-compilation when entering play mode with Synchronous Compilation unchecked.
• Burst: Improved performance of eager-compilation by not eager-compiling test assemblies.
• Burst: In versions of Unity older than 2019.3, changing the following options in the Burst menu now requires the Editor to be restarted: Enable Compilation, Safety Checks, and Native Debug Mode Compilation. In versions of Unity older than 2019.3, previously-compiled methods were not recompiled after changing those options, which could lead to undefined behavior where methods might not be compiled with the correct options. This change removes that possibility.
• Burst: Made the compiler better at constant-folding complex static readonly constructors.
• Burst: Open-generic static methods are now hidden in the Burst Inspector. They are not supported by Burst, but they were previously visible.
• Burst: Temporarily removed the Burst compiler warning about exception throws not in [Conditional(“ENABLE_UNITY_COLLECTIONS_CHECKS”)] methods, to let us address user feedback. The next minor version of Burst will reincorporate this in a more friendly manner.
• Burst: The Burst Inspector no longer uses JIT compilation. The code it shows is now compiled the same way as for editor / player usage.
• Burst: The command line option –burst-disable-compilation now entirely disables Burst, including the AppDomain.
• Burst: Updated Cross Compilation Tooling To LLVM 10.
• Burst: Upgraded Burst to use LLVM Version 11.0.1 by default, bringing the latest optimization improvements from the LLVM project.
• Burst: Warnings are hidden in the inspector view.
• Burst: When using “Executable Only” build type on Universal Windows Platform, Burst will now only generate code for a single CPU architecture that you’re building for.
• Editor: Deleting an object reference array entry in the Inspector now removes that array element. Previously first deletion set the element reference to none, and the second deletion deleted the element.
• Editor: Deprecated Device Simulator package, feature moved to Core.
• Editor: Quick Search is now part of the Unity Editor and no package needs to be installed.
• Graphics: Avoids unnecessary RenderGraphBuilder.ReadTexture in the “Set Final Target” pass.
• Graphics: Changed Path Tracing’s maximum intensity from clamped (0 to 100) to positive value. (1310514)
• Graphics: Changed so texture formats DXT1 and DXT5 in the UI labels are now named “DXT1|BC1” and “DXT5|BC3”, indicating terminology used by modern graphics APIs.
• Graphics: Changed some light unit slider value ranges to better reflect the lighting scenario.
• Graphics: Changed switch shaders to now use separate samplers instead of combined texture-samplers objects.
• Graphics: Changed the clamping approach for RTR and RTGI (in both perf and quality) to improve visual quality.
• Graphics: Changed the convergence time of ssgi to 16 frames and the preset value.
• Graphics: Changed the name from the Depth Buffer Thickness to Depth Tolerance for SSGI. (1301352)
• Graphics: Changed the source value for the ray tracing frame index iterator from m_FrameCount to the camera frame count. (1301356)
• Graphics: Changed the warning message for ray traced area shadows. (1303410)
• Graphics: ComputeBuffer.IsValid now returns false when compute is not supported and ComputeBuffer.BeginWrite throws InvalidOperationException for invalid ComputeBuffers. (1259525)
• Graphics: Disabled specular occlusion for what we consider medium and larger scale ao > 1.25 with a 25cm falloff interval.
• Graphics: Improved robustness of volumetric sampling in path tracing. (1295187)
• Graphics: Removed backplate from rendering of lighting cubemap as it did not really work conceptually and caused artefacts.
• Graphics: Removed postprocessing package from core packages list.
• Graphics: Removed the material pass probe volumes evaluation mode.
• Graphics: Texture2D.Compress now compressed R8 textures to BC4 and R8G8 textures to BC5, on mobile platforms ETC/EAC are used.
• Graphics: The RTAO’s history is now discarded if the occlusion caster was moving. (1303418)
• Graphics: Tidy up of platform abstraction code for shader optimization.
• Graphics: Transparent materials created by the Model Importer are set to not cast shadows.
• Graphics: Unifying the history validation pass so that it is only done once for the whole frame and not per effect.
• Graphics: Updated postprocessing package to 3.1.0.
• Graphics: Updated the tooltip for the Decal Angle Fade property (requires to enable Decal Layers in both HDRP asset and Frame settings). (1308048)
• Graphics: VT-internal warnings no longer show up in the editor window, but still get printed into the editor log file.
• Mobile: Made session bugfixes for Adaptive Performance provider subsystem management.
• Package: Added the Code Coverage package as pre-release. This package helps you identify areas of your code that need more testing, even if you haven’t written any automated tests.
• Package: Storyboard Global Mute moved from Cinemachine menu to Cinemachine preferences.
• Package: UI update – Moved Cinemachine menu to GameObject Create menu and Right Click context menu for Hierarchy.
• Package: Updated Code Coverage package to v1.0.0.
• Package: Updated com.unity.cinemachine to 2.7.2.
• Package: Updated com.unity.purchasing version to 3.0.1.
• Package: Updated FBX Exporter package to 4.0.1:
• https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/[email protected]/manual/index.html
• Package Manager: The Package Manager no longer discards the existing package state in case of critical errors such as failure to parse the project manifest.
• Scripting: AsyncReadManager.Read no longer writes the number of bytes read to the input ReadCommand array. The bytes read can now be accessed via the new ReadHandle.GetBytesRead method.
• Scripting: Changed NativeArray limit of 2GiB in size, and now it can contain 2^31 items instead.
• Scripting: Improved Roslyn analyzers that are inside assembly definition folders so that they apply to the asmdef assembly itself and to other assemblies that reference the asmdef assembly, but not to any other code in the project.
• Scripting: Reintroduced a warning thrown when a script derived from MonoBehaviour has the same name as a built-in component (e.g. Transform).
• Search: Removed the resource search provider (res:).
• Shaders: Editor now skips warming up shaders from shader collections in the Preloaded shaders section of Graphics settings.
• Shaders: Increased the global shader keyword limit to 384.
• Shaders: Shader compiler logs are now generated in Logs folder instead of Library.
• Timeline: Updated Timeline package to version 1.5.2
• UI: Changed the license file based on legal requirements.
• UI: Changed the Shader property for soft masking from _MaskSoftnessX / Y to _UIMaskSoftnessX / Y so we dont overlap with TMP’s shader properties.
• UI Toolkit: Allow :root pseudo selector to target the element receiving the style sheet.
• UI Toolkit: Changed DynamicAtlas system to track texture references and support dynamic removals.
• UI Toolkit: Changed the blending equation to allow blending of the resulting RenderTexture.
• UI Toolkit: Improved renderer batching.
• UI Toolkit: Mobile touch scrolling is now supported in scrollviews and listviews.
• UI Toolkit: Text rendering is now handled by the textcore fontengine for both the editor and runtime.
• UI Toolkit: Updated the menu item for Live Reload to be called “UI Toolkit Live Reload” to avoid user confusion.
• VFX Graph: Tidy up of platform abstraction code for random number generation, requires a dependency on com.unity.render-pipelines.core for those abstractions.
• XR: Updated com.unity.xr.legacyinputhelpers package to 2.1.6.
• XR: Updated Oculus XR Plugin package to 1.7.0.
• XR: Updated the ARCore, ARKit, ARKit Face Tracking, ARFoundation, ARSubsystems packages to 4.1.1.
• XR: Updated the verified package versions for AR Foundation and related packages.
• XR: Updated Windows XR Plugin package to 5.2.0.
• XR: Updated XR Plug-in Management package to 3.2.17.
