- Burst: Fixed a compiler crash if users used __refvalue or __arglist in Burst. Neither of these are supported, but now we will nicely tell you via a compiler error that they aren't supported
- Burst: Fixed a compiler error when trying to acquire the function pointer of a generic function from Bursted code

- Burst: Made Burst's ILPP 22% faster by caching dependent assemblies that the being-processed assembly uses
- Core: NativeArray and NativeSlice Length is no longer reset when an instance is disposed, so as to ensure entry into iterators that would likely yield a disposed object exception.

- Android: Fixed a Unity Audio bug related to Bluetooth audio. This was causing issues with Vivox, and possibly other 3rd part audio libraries, with Bluetooth functionality. On Android, Bluetooth audio state is basically global, so Unity Audio now only makes the bare minimum changes to this state. We may still call startBluetoothSco and stopBluetoothSco when starting or re-initializing the audio output engine and when starting/stopping the Unity microphone. We may also call AudioManager.setMode when starting/stopping a Bluetooth mic through the Unity microphone APIs, but that's it
- Android: Fixed XR subsystem initialization in case of app bundle + asset packs

- Burst: Fixed a bug where if you used FloatMode.Fast with math.pow, where the y argument to math.pow was actually sourced from an integer, illegal codegen would be generated (LLVM would try and call out to powf from the cstdlib).
- Burst: Fixed a bug where toggling Burst enable disable during a playmode execution using Burst, and then attaching the managed debugger, could cause an editor crash.

- Burst: Fixed a memory leak where during hashing we'd pin a GC object and never unpin and free it.
- Burst: Fixed a potential deadlock whereby if Burst was compiling in the background (the background tasks window showed Burst in it) and a user switched from release to debug in the editor, Burst could cause a deadlock.
- Burst: Fixed a super rare bug where Burst could hit an internal error with System.InvalidOperationException: Nullable object must have a value.
- Burst: Fixed a super rare hashing bug in Burst whereby it was possible that the Burst Hash Cache for a given assembly was out of sync with the Assembly Loader cache.
