Unity

What's new in this version:

API Changes:
- Shaders: Added: Added a possibility to query preprocessed shader data for a given variant

Fixed:
- Android: Further improve build times, when sequential build is done with no changes in project. Previously Unity was moving apk/aab from gradle project to final location, thus forcing the gradle to rebuild apk/aab on sequential builds, Unity will perform a copy instead now. Our tests show that sequential build times improved by 50%, for ex., dropping from 12 seconds to 5 seconds
- Android: Workaround a problem where using logcat would leak pipes on OSX. The underlying problem seems to be with C# Process class, where if you redirect streams and dispose process, the pipes would remain opened. This will be investigated separatly
- Animation: Fixed an issue where an assert was triggered upon rebuilding an animation legacy component
- Asset Bundles: Improved performance of Asset Bundle building when many bundles exist
- Asset Pipeline: Fixed an issue where MonoScripts in plugins that were dependent on plugins in other folders could fail to import when reimporting all assets
- Asset Pipeline: Fixed exception that Rider would catch when Disposing instances of the ArtifactInfo class
- Asset Pipeline: Improved opening time of Import Activity Window
- Audio: Fixed exposing multiple send levels in the audio mixer not working correctly. Note: previously created mixers with exposed send levels will cause a warning to be logged on editor startup and the send levels will have to be re-exposed
- Editor: Fixed windows editor sometimes getting into a "script assemblies are locked" state after invoking a modal dialog from a C# script
- GI: Environment lighting should not be affected by the Cast Shadows flag on the Mesh Renderer
- Graphics: Fixed a crash in ray tracing shaders when different ray payload structures are used throughout shaders that are used in a ray tracing dispatch
- Graphics: Fixed an issue were TextureIDs could leak upon recreating RenderTextures with explicit stencil views
- Graphics: Fixed inconsistent behavior of Async Readbacks in the scene view
- Graphics: Fixed issue where memory would leak from mesh due to mismatching memory labels
- IL2CPP: Avoid copying the profile.json file output by IL2CPP into the final application package for iOS
- IL2CPP: Fixed crash in player when Faster (smaller) builds is enabled
- IL2CPP: Fixed incorrect metadata section size checks (1370667)
- IL2CPP: Implement support for ConditionalWeakTable which fixes memory a leak
- iOS: Stop dark mode native mobile input's background from going transparent when it's empty
- Linux: Fixed Unity splash screen not responding to resize events
- Mono: Fixed a crash that would occur when a recursive struct was used in user code
- Mono: Fixed crash that would occur when a generic field was in a struct during burst compilation
- Mono: Fixed Superluminal symbol integration
- Particles: Fixed auto-upgrade of Collision Module plane colliders when using Prefab overrides
- Physics: Fixed the ArticulationDrive.forceLimit to actually use forces instead of impulses. Projects with custom set force limit should review values, and consider dividing them by the simulation delta
- Profiler: Fixed Timeline view's display of surrounding context frames when the recorded frame count exceeds the amount specified in Preferences/Analysis/Profiler/Frame Count
- Scene/Game View: Fixed for Scale Handle center handle inconsistencies
- Scene/Game View: Fixed GUI.Window not working when invoked from Editor.OnSceneGUI
- Scene/Game View: Fixed SceneViewLighting overlays not being displayed
- Search: Fixed NullReferenceException is thrown when typing in the Hierarchy window search bar (1360676)
- Search: Fixed search indexation incremental update of removed components or properties
- Search: Fixed search item cannot be picked in table view using SearchService.ShowPicker(...) (1371140)
- Serialization: Prevented, at serialization time, the addition of a SerializeReference instance which is a generic inflated types
- Shaders: Exceptions in IPreprocessShaders will now fail the build (1357383)
- Shaders: Fixed a crash when loading shaders with complex fallbacks that contain GrabPasses (1360664)
- Shaders: Fixed a crash when trying to use a non-UAV texture as ComputeShader UAV property
- Shaders: Fixed Compile and show code button failing to write the file if the size is over 2 GB (1357761)
- Shaders: Fixed uintBitsToFloat not doing a conversion from bool argument to uint (1334240)
- Terrain: User can no longer create brushes so immense that the editor emits an error about not being able to create a RenderTexture that large
- UI Toolkit: Added more asset conversion types to the Package Asset Converter tool
- UI Toolkit: Fixed 3 cases of inconsistencies on binding data to UI Toolkit fields
- UI Toolkit: Fixed element sometimes entering hover state when window is resized
- UI Toolkit: Fixed incorrect pointer enter events and pointer leave events in playmode using the DefaultEventSystem
- UI Toolkit: Fixed UXML layout breaking when an asset used in it is deleted from the project
- UI Toolkit: Fixed VisualElement's editor data bindings not able to be bound to SerializedProperty of type "ulong" to "long" fields
- Video: Fixed errors being spammed in the Console upon opening imported video in the Inspector tab when Target Platform is set to UWP
- WebGL: Fixed Firefox crashing on startup
- XR: Fixed depth/stencil discards not working on Quest GLES
