New in Unity 2023.3.0 Beta 1 (Jan 5, 2024)

  • Features:
  • Editor: Integrated new build profile icons.
  • Editor: The Build Profile Diagnostic checkbox is no longer available because the Build Settings window has been replaced with the Build Profile window.
  • Package: XR Hands package updated to 1.4.0-pre.1.
  • SRP Core: Added the option to cache Render Graph compilation for both URP and HDRP.
  • UI Toolkit: Added a debugger for the UI Toolkit dynamic atlas.
  • VFX Graph: Added particle count readback for strips, which also allows strips to go to sleep state.
  • VFX Graph: Enabled Frustum Culling for strips.
  • VFX Graph: The following improvements have been made to shortcuts in VFX Graph:
  • Registered the shortcuts in the global Unity Shortcut window.
  • Synced shortcuts with ShaderGraph where possible.
  • Added new shortcuts.
  • XR: Added support for Foveated Rendering on Vision Pro.
  • Improvements:
  • Android: When producing the symbols.zip package, Unity will prompt Gradle to produce the zip, which means the symbols.zip package might contain more symbol files, allowing for better stack trace resolution. This also allows you to regenerate the symbols package from within the Gradle project.
  • Android: You can now embed Debug symbols into an app bundle (e.g., in the Build Settings window, choose Debug Symbol > level and format to IncludeInBundle) when uploading .aab files to the Google Play Store. The symbols are uploaded together with aab, which means you don't need to upload the symbols separately.
  • Build System: Made bee_backend's directory deletion explicitly handle read-only files on Windows.
  • Particles: Improved 2 error messages to include the name of the Particle System.
  • Scene/Game View: Changed the overlays order for a consistent one in the Overlay Menu.
  • SRP Core: Reducing AddRaster/Compute/UnsafeRenderPass Render Graph API CPU cost by not clearing anymore internal arrays. Now relying on handle IsValid() API instead.
  • SRP Core: RenderGraphObjectPool is now 3x faster with RasterRenderRenderGraphPass objects by using UnityEngine.Pool.
  • SRP Core: Validation checks of Render Graph can be enabled/disabled from the Editor. Enabled by default, disabling them slightly improves Render Graph performance.
  • UI Toolkit: Improved the UI Toolkit performance by reducing the number of managed memory allocations (GC.Alloc), specifically when using a virtualized ListView containing Label items. (UUM-57824) First seen in 2023.3.0a18.
  • Universal RP: Bloom post processing effect CPU optimization. Many RasterPass into single UnsafePass.
  • Universal RP: Disabled implicit use of all globals in URP passes
  • Web: Improved performance for instance rendering in WebGPU.
  • API Changes:
  • Android: Added: ConfigurationManager has new APIs:
  • ApplyPluginList.AddPluginFromPath
  • ApplyPluginList.AddPluginFromRaw
  • Ndk.DebugSymbolLevel
  • Editor: Added: a flag for recursive dependency calculation. For use with the Compatibility Pipeline API.
  • Editor: Added: public methods RegisterToolContext and DeregisterToolContext to the ShortcutManager class to allow users to register and unregister custom shortcut contexts.
  • Editor: Added: the IShortcutToolContext interface to allow users to create their own custom shortcut context.
  • Editor: Changed: EditorUserBuildSettings.androidCreateSymbols was replaced with UnityEditor.Android.UserBuildSettings.DebugSymbols.level and UnityEditor.Android.UserBuildSettings.DebugSymbols.format.
  • Scripting: Added: Every hierarchy node type handler now has access to an member hierarchy command list in which they can write to whenever they want. This is to simplify the workflow of integrating changes into the hierarchy, which in turn makes the ChangesPending and IntegrateChanges methods optional. (UUM-58062) First seen in 2023.3.0a12.
  • Scripting: Changed: The HierarchyViewModel methods used to query flags were ambiguous because it did not specify they meant "all flags" versus "any flags". These methods are now deprecated, and new methods which specify if it is "all flags" versus "any flags" were added. (UUM-58061) First seen in 2023.3.0a12.
  • Video: Added: WebCamKind.Unknown to be used as fallback when camera type is not recognized.
  • Changes:
  • Android: The launcher/build.gradle evaluation now depends on unityLibrary/build.gradle evaluation. Therefore, the unityLibrary/build.gradle can no longer have any dependencies on the launcher/build.gradle.
  • Android: Unity will no longer need to force debugging symbols if Unity Cloud Diagnostics (UCD) is enabled. Users can manually choose the appropriate debug symbol level. Choosing the level affects how stack traces are resolved by UCD. For example, public symbols are enough to properly resolve function names, while debugging symbols provide filenames and line numbers. Debugging symbols, due to their size can increase build time and build size, which might be a limitation for some users.
  • Android: When producing the symbols.zip package, the symbols will contain .so.sym or .so.dbg extension depending on the debugSymbolLevel. These extensions are provided by the Android Gradle plugin for backwards compatibility but you can still force the .so extension (for more information, check out Debug Symbol > format in the Build Settings window).
  • Editor: Reverted the new contextual menu.
  • Fixes:
  • 2D: Fixed the importing of sprite sheets with ISpriteEditorDataProvider so that it no longer generates broken sprites. (UUM-56410)
  • 2D: The Tilemap Renderer in Individual mode will use all secondary textures associated with sprites, when the sprites are using a Sprite Atlas texture with different secondary texture sources. (UUM-53666)

New in Unity 2023.1.1 (Jun 26, 2023)

  • Features:
  • Test Framework: Added TestFileReferences.json to be generated on build step of the player, so can be consumed later by Test runners to enrich data for run part.
  • Test Framework: By using the editor command line new argument -randomOrderSeed x you can run the tests in a randomized order, where x is an integer different from 0. If a new test is added in the project the random order passing the same seed will be kept, and the new test will be placed in the random list accordigly.
  • Test Framework: The UTF version now automatically updates for SRP tests
  • Improvements:
  • Editor: Fixed an issue where RFloat / RGFloat / RGBAFloat formats were not useable in the Texture Importer Inspector even though they already could be applied through, for example, an AssetPostprocessor.

  • Particles: Fix subemitter crash if effect is referenced more than once in effect hierarchy. (UUM-36485)
  • Serialization: It is not possible to instantiate abstract class, which is happening in this case. The fix for editor crash is to make sure that the abstract StatusEffect class is not instantiated in SerializedReference fields. You can achieve this by either changing all the occurrences, or add [MovedFrom(true, sourceClassName:"StatusEffect")] attribute to StatusEffectComplex class. (UUM-9218)
  • Serialization: When serializing empty managed object reference we are not adding the data node in the YAML, which is causing problems after some fields are added to the script and the YAML is being de-serialized. In this case, as there still is not any data node in the YAML, the deserialization process is not instantiating the managed object correctly. (UUM-2258)

  • HDRP: Fixed quad overdraw debug at high resolution. (UUM-33220)
  • HDRP: Fixed TAA aliasing edge issues on alpha output for recorder / green screen. This fix does the following:
  • Removes history rejection when the current alpha value is 0. Instead it does blend with the history color when alpha value is 0 on the current plane.
  • The reasoning for blending again with the history when alpha is 0 is because we want the color to blend a bit with opacity, which is the main reason for the alpha values. sort of like a precomputed color
  • As a safety, we set the color to black if alpha is 0. This results in better image quality when alpha is enabled. (UUM-33950)

New in Unity 2022.2.13 (Apr 6, 2023)

  • Features:
  • Graphics: Added BatchCullingContext.cullingFlags to specify whether lightmapped shadow casters should be culled for this view.
  • Improvements:
  • Apple TV: TvOS now uses launch screen storyboard.
  • iOS: IOS/tvOS launch screen now is shown only by OS, and is not shown again by Unity itself.
  • Player: Added -native-leak-detection command line argument to Unity Editor and standalone players. can be Disabled, Enabled, or EnabledWithStackTrace. Stack Traces are only available in the Unity Editor and development builds.
  • API Changes:
  • Core: Added: JobsUtility.ThreadIndexCount returns the maximum number of job workers that can work on a job at the same time. The job system will create a number of job worker threads that will be no greater than the number of logical CPU cores for the platform. However, since arbitrary threads can execute jobs via work stealing we allocate extra workers which act as temporary job worker threads. JobsUtility.ThreadIndexCount reflects the maximum number of job worker threads
  • plus temporary workers the job system will ever use. As such, this value is useful for allocating buffers which should be subdivided evenly between job workers since JobsUtility.ThreadIndex and NativeSetThreadIndexAttribute will never return a value greater than JobsUtility.ThreadIndexCount. (UUM-29945)
  • Core: Added: JobsUtility.ThreadIndex returns the index for the current thread when executing a job, otherwise 0. When multiple threads are working on a parallel job at once, no two threads will have the same index. The range is [0, JobsUtility.ThreadIndexCount).

New in Unity 2022.2.2 (Jan 16, 2023)

  • Features:
  • Universal RP: Added Temporal Anti-aliasing support. Available from Camera Anti-aliasing settings. Known limitations: Incompatible with MSAA, Dynamic Resolution or Camera stacking. Supports fixed resolution only, no temporal upsampling supported.
  • Improvements
  • Build Pipeline: Improved error handling for builds to show less redundant error messages.
  • Editor: Improved performance of Handles.DrawAAPolyLine.
  • Editor: Improved performance of rendering the Project Settings. It would previously repeatedly query all objects loaded into the editor, which meant that operations that load assets into memory (entering playmode) would make the Project Settings unusable slow.
  • Graphics: Registration of the Shader.globalRenderpipeline is done internaly and using the renderPipelineShaderTag from the RenderPipelineAsset that is currently in use.
  • Physics: Increased the Articulation Body tree limit from 64 to 256 bodies.
  • Profiler: Reduced the performance cost of drawing charts in the profiler.
  • VFX Graph: Fixed lightmap range limitations. (UUM-19058)
  • API Changes:
  • Build Pipeline: Obsoleted: Application.SetBuildTags and Application.GetBuildTags are now obsolete.
  • Graphics: Added: Overridable property renderPipelineShaderTag on the RenderPipelineAsset.
  • Changes:
  • Universal RP: Shader parameters used by additional lights are now removed when additional lights are disabled in URP Assets.
  • Fixes:
  • Asset Pipeline: Fixed an issue where the standalone profiler could crash or emit errors when the script domain reloads in the editor. (UUM-19179)
  • Build Pipeline: Doing a clean build will remember state about built files, so that files no longer in a build can be deleted in subsequent builds.
  • Build Pipeline: Fixed a bug where building a development player, and then a non-development player with no other changes could show the "Development Player" watermark.
  • Build Pipeline: Fixed a potential bug where building players could in rare circumstances fail with a sharing violation on a file called buildreport.json_2.traceevents.
  • Build Pipeline: Fixed an issue where build GUIDs would sometimes not change between subsequent builds.

  • Note: An inspector window and the lighting settings window will show the value of 'Auto Generate' which has been set in the lighting settings asset. The lighting window will show a warning if Auto Generate is ticked but it will not prevent the user from doing so.
  • Note that the following lighting window UI changes have been included in the fix:
  • Auto Generate is not disabled when the Entities package is used. The checkbox will represent the actual value in the lighting settings asset.
  • The warning is only shown if Auto Generate is ticked and the text is updated to say Auto Generate mode is ignored [...]. (UUM-18955)

New in Unity 2023.1.0 Alpha 20 (Nov 30, 2022)

  • Features:
  • Android: Added Gradle Files Upgrader tool to upgrade user templates to a C# script that uses the Android Project Files API.
  • Android: Added Texture Compression targeting support.
  • Android: Implemented new GameActivity application model (previously you could only target Activity). Refer to the Manual for more details or refer to Android documentation on https://developer.android.com/games/agdk/integrate-game-activity.
  • Editor: Added async test support with documentation and support for SetUp and TearDown to the test-framework.
  • Editor: Displayed OneTimeSetup and OneTimeTearDown durations in the XML result under outputs.
  • Graphics: Added foveated rendering support for Metal.
  • Graphics: Added the ability to compute the thickness of an Object.
  • HDRP: Added a foam system to the HDRP Water System.
  • HDRP: Added High Quality Line Rendering which unlocks improved performance and image quality for line topology.
  • HDRP: Added Screen Space Lens Flare feature.
  • HDRP: Exposed Material Type in materials using the Lit ShaderGraph.
  • IMGUI: Removed dependency on Legacy Text stack for IMGUI so that IMGUI now renders and calculates its metrics using TextCore.
  • Some members from TextEditor have been deprecated to accommodate for the new TextUtilities used by both IMGUI and UITK. Their meanings are the same but their names have changed (from field to property)
  • TextEditor.multiline is now TextEditor.isMultiline
  • TextEditor.hasHorizontalCursorPos is nowTextEditor.hasHorizontalCursor
  • TextEditor.revealCursor is now TextEditor.showCursor.
  • Package Manager: Added tracking of assets imported from an Asset Store package.
  • Added a new tab in the package details view to visualize imported assets.
  • Added a remove button to Asset Store packages to selectively remove imported assets.
  • Profiler: Added metadata support for RenderTextures in Memory Profiler.
  • Profiler: Improved graphics memory tracking in Memory Profiler.
  • SRP Core: Added debug view to visualize probe sampling.
  • UI Toolkit: Added basic analytics in UI Builder.
  • Universal RP: Added Temporal Anti-aliasing support, which is available from Camera Anti-aliasing settings. Incompatible with MSAA, Dynamic Resolution, or Camera stacking. Supports fixed resolution only, so no temporal upsampling is supported.
  • URP: Added clustered reflection probe support to the URP Forward+ rendering path. This enables the use of more than two reflection probes per object, allows Unity to skip per-object culling of lights and reflection probes, and enables Entities Graphics and procedural draws to make use of reflection probes.
  • VFX Graph: Fixed the six-way lighting and lightmap remapping options.
  • Windows: Enabled Windows ARM64 Player compilation.
  • Improvements:
  • Animation: Optimized the AnimationClip size calculation reducing asset load time in the Editor.
  • Editor: Added Learn Unity Test Framework section of documentation and related project files as importable package samples.
  • Editor: Added test method/fixture arguments in the ITestAdaptor as the Arguments property.

  • HDRP: Improved water line detection.
  • HDRP: Updated the platform support message for consoles. (UUM-16315)
  • Particles: Removed OnParticleTrigger calls when there are no trigger module events to report. (UUM-19111)
  • Scripting: Improved scripting performance to always inline the Mathf Sign() script API function.
  • Serialization: Added support for instances of Generic inflated types to SerializeReference.
  • Tests: Improved stability of Selecting_Deleted_ParticleSystemForceField_Preset_In_PlayMode_Doesnot_Throw_Exception test.
  • URP: Improved shadow atlas building performance when there are a lot of lights.
  • WebGL: Improved error messages that are printed to the console to help diagnose when Content-Encoding: gzip is not properly set on server, or web browser has a bug that prevents it from being able to decompress gzip content ( https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=247421 ). (UUM-18681)
  • First seen in 2023.1.0a17.
  • WebGL: Improved the build system so that failing builds will no longer emit an unusable index.html to the build output directory.
  • API Changes
  • Android: Added: Added PlayerSettings.Android.applicationEntry for application entry selection.
  • Android: Added: Added UnityEditor.Android.Gradle.Dependencies.GetEngineGradleDependencies which returns the list of dependencies which will be used when producing gradle project.
  • Build Pipeline: Obsoleted: Application.SetBuildTags and Application.GetBuildTags are now obsolete.
  • Editor: Added: Added a constructor to the EditorToolbarToggle class that takes in a text as an icon and a label.
  • Editor: Changed: Modified the game object tool context icon.
  • Graphics: Added: Texture.graphicsTexture and properties of the new GraphicsTexture class have been added to provide more information about the resource that is uploaded to the GPU when working with textures.
  • Graphics: Changed: Texture2D, Texture3D, and Cubemap creation will now throw an error earlier if explicitly created with non-zero width and height parameters (same as existing Texture2DArrays and CubemapArrays) except when creating a Texture2D with all default parameters.
  • Scripting: Added: New Object.FindFirstObjectByType() and Object.FindAnyObjectByType() functions added to replace the now obsoleted Object.FindObjectOfType(). These new functions let you decide whether you must have the first (lowest InstanceID) object found or if any instance is adequate. In the latter case the function can be many times faster as no internal sorting is required. See the scripting documentation for both functions for more details.
  • Scripting: Added: New Object.FindObjectsByType() function added to replace the now obsoleted Object.FindObjectsOfType(). This new function gives users the choice whether or not to perform the expensive sorting by InstanceID on the returned collection of objects rather than having it always performed wasting time when unnecessary. See the scripting documentation for Object.FindObjectsByType() and Object.FindObjectsOfType() for more details.
  • Scripting: Obsoleted: Object.FindObjectOfType() has been marked as obsolete and will produce a compilation warning. Use the new Object.FindFirstObjectsByType() or Object.FindAnyObjectByType() functions by preference. See the scripting documentation for both functions for more details.
  • Scripting: Obsoleted: Object.FindObjectsOfType() has been marked as obsolete and will produce a compilation warning. Use the new Object.FindObjectsByType() function by preference passing either FindObjectsSortMode.InstanceID to maintain sorting by InstanceID or FindObjectsSortMode.None to not sort the results. Not sorting the results is significantly faster but be aware that the order of the returned results will be different and not necessarily consistent between calls. See the scripting documentation for both functions for more details.
  • UI Toolkit: Added: [Properties] Added a ReadOnly member to the CreatePropertyAttribute to force the creation of a read-only property.
  • Changes:
  • GI: Added stability improvements for Baked Global Illumination.
  • HDRP: Deprecated ScriptableRenderPipelineExtensionAttribute and LightingExplorerExtensionAttribute.

New in Unity 2023.1.0 Alpha 19 (Nov 20, 2022)

  • Features:
  • 2D: Added support for camera frustum culling to Inverse Kinematics Manager 2D.
  • Editor: Added UX support for deprecated packages in Package Manager Window. Individually deprecated package versions and Unity packages deprecated for Editor versions will be marked as such in the Package Manager Window. Users will be informed at project startup if they have deprecated packages or versions currently installed.
  • HDRP: Added improvements to the SSS lighting model.
  • Physics 2D: Added a Rigidbody2D.Slide method which allows a Rigidbody2D to be moved with a specific velocity over a specific integration time and perform various slide, gravity, slip, direction-change, and surface-anchoring behaviours automatically. This can be used on all body types including Static. This method can simply calculate a new position, change the Rigidbody2D position immediately (supports interpolation), or defer the movement by automatically calling Rigidbody2D.MovePosition(). This feature will make Character Controllers easier to create.
  • Improvements:
  • Animation: Added further improvements to animation job performance, especially to some forms of Inverse Kinematics.
  • Editor: Added support for Sketchup 2019 and 2020 file formats to the Sketchup importer. (UUM-2896)

With this disabled, the joint is able to use both the motor and/or rotation limits without being connected to a specific anchor point. This allows the joint to rotate a Rigidbody2D and/or limit the rotation without affecting its position.
  • Physics 2D: Added a new Physics2D.simulatedLayers property that controls which layers are simulated when the automatic FixedUpdate or Update simulation modes are used. Additionally, for Script simulation mode, Physics2D.Simulate() now has an additional argument that allows specific layers to be simulated.
  • Physics 2D: Added an argument to Collider2D.CreateMesh() method that allows the option to create a Delaunay Triangulated mesh. This argument can greatly simplify the resultant mesh.
  • API Changes:
  • Editor: Deprecated: Renamed RayTracingAccelerationStructure.RASSettings to RayTracingAccelerationStructure.Settings.

  • Rigidbody2D.velocityY property to allow setting the Rigidbody2D velocity Y component without modifying the X component.
  • Rigidbody2D.AddForceX() method to allow adding force to the Rigidbody2D velocity X component without modifying the velocity Y component.
  • Rigidbody2D.AddForceY() method to allow adding force to the Rigidbody2D velocity Y component without modifying velocity X component.
  • Rigidbody2D.AddRelativeForceX() method to allow adding relative force to the Rigidbody2D velocity X component without modifying velocity Y component.
  • Rigidbody2D.AddRelativeForceY() method to allow adding relative force to the Rigidbody2D velocity Y component without modifying velocity X component.
  • Rigidbody2D.Cast to allow casting a Rigidbody2D from a specific position and rotation.
  • Collider2D.Cast to allow casting a Collider2D from a specific position and rotation.

  • UI Toolkit: Fixed an issue so that setting VisualElement.pickingMode as ignore no longer makes it unselectable in the builder canvas/viewport. The fix overrides any VisualElement's picking mode to position when outside of preview mode, but memorises and reapplies it during the preview mode. (UUM-12681)
  • UI Toolkit: Fixed an issue where the VisualElement's uxml attributes would not get properly cleared after calling Unset or Unset All in the UI Builder. (UUM-6578)

New in Unity 2022.1.19 (Oct 5, 2022)

  • Improvements:
  • Core: Added Transform.SetLocalPositionAndRotation(). This allows you to set both the localPosition and localRotation of a transform in a single call, which is more efficient than assigning to localPosition and localRotation separately. (Thank you to @DevDunk on the forum for the request!).
  • Shadergraph: Reduced time taken by code generation when a shader graph asset is imported.
  • VFX Graph: Reduced time taken by code generation when a VFX asset is imported.
  • Changes:
  • Burst: Entry point functions weren't always included in crash callstacks; now they are.
  • Fixes:
  • Android: Fixed overflow of MotionEvent global references. (UUM-8438)
  • Bug Reporter: Fixed the crash reporter text button truncated when screen is scaled. (UUM-4017)
  • Burst: ;'s in paths would cause burst to fail. Note - Also requires a fix in the Editor, so if your project has ;'s in its path, the workaround is to remove the ; from the folder name for now.
  • Burst: An Internal Compiler Error that could occur if a function that requires a struct ret (due to ABI) has been discarded by other logic.
  • Burst: Corrupted binary could be produced on M1 if there was not enough space for UUID+codesign injection.
  • Burst: Disabling Burst from the command line via --burst-disable-compilation no longer results in Burst errors when building a player for Android.
  • Burst: Fixed a bug in Burst player builds where sufficiently complicated Bursted code could cause a deadlock deep within LLVM.
  • Burst: Fixed a bug where static fields in generic types could in some situations be initialized with the incorrect value.
  • Burst: Fixed a bug with locally declared array variables in functions where storing null into them could cause invalid codegen.
  • Burst: Fixed a safety check bug with Span/ReadOnlySpan and Slice(start, length) where if start + length was equal to the Length of the original span, the safety check would incorrectly report an out-of-bounds access.
  • Burst: Fixed access violation race condition bug.
  • Burst: Fixed error that occurs with a specific formulation of IL, using xx with an early out escape and unbalanced calculation stack. (Object reference not set to an instance of ... in CollectBlock.ToVisitOrder).
  • Burst: Fixed error when compiling assemblies with spaces in their names.
  • Burst: Fixed that UWP builds wouldn't respect the specified "Target SDK Version" and "Visual Studio Version" settings.
  • Burst: Interface methods where not being hashed correctly for constrained types, which would result in burst failing to recompile code that had changed in an implementation class.
  • Burst: Linking issue when exports differ only by module.
  • Editor: Corrected the build of a Mac Standalone player with an exported Xcode project when script debugging is enabled. (UUM-11352)
  • Editor: Fixed crash in standalone profiler during shutdown. (UUM-13932)

New in Unity 2022.1.6 (Jun 23, 2022)

  • Improvements:
  • Burst: Added support for the System.Runtime.CompilerServices.IsExternalInit workaround documented [here](https://docs.unity3d.com/2022.1/Documentation/Manual/CSharpCompiler.html) into Burst when used in 2022.1+.
  • Changes:
  • Burst: Changed how we process static readonly fields in static constructors such that we'll allow more computational budget per static field. This fixes the case where having too many static readonly variables in a single static constructor could fail to compile, while they would work if each was in their own static constructors.
  • Burst: SDK Updates.
  • Fixes:
  • Burst: Added workaround for "cannot dlopen until fork() handlers have completed" issue seen in macOS 12.3.
  • Burst: Fixed a bug that manifested when using IAP in UWP builds with Burst - we were scanning the assembly hierarchy too deep for Bursted types, which led to an AssemblyResolutionException.
  • Burst: Fixed a bug with Span and ReadOnlySpan types where if the indices used were not already 32-bit signed integers, an internal compiler error would occur if running with safety checks enabled.
  • 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: Fixed a really convoluted bug that could manifest in Burst returning out of date cached libraries, which would manifest as random exceptions in Burst jobs/function-pointers (users deleting the BurstCache would workaround the bug).
  • Burst: Fixed a regression where out parameters of C# 9.0 function pointers weren't working in Burst.
  • Burst: Fixed bug in static constructor ordering in the presence of indirect dependencies between static constructors (i.e. static constructor -> static method -> static constructor) that could result in a runtime crash.
  • Burst: Fixed bug where disabling native debug mode, after having previously enabled it in the same editor session, didn't in fact disable native debug mode.
  • Burst: Fixed burst inspector sometimes stalling during loading for script reloads.
  • Burst: Fixed compiler crash when the only usage of a static field was in a formatted exception string.
  • Burst: Fixed compiler crash when trying to dynamically call BurstCompiler.CompileFunctionPointer in Burst-compiled code.
  • Burst: Fixed hashing bug that could occur when a function pointer type is used in a method parameter.
  • Burst: Fixed hashing error that could occur in the presence of multiple synthesized explicit interface implementations with the same name and signature.
  • Burst: Fixed internal compiler error when encountering a calli with closed generics.
  • Burst: Using a function only through a C# function pointer could cause a crash.
  • Editor: IndexOutOfRangeException is thrown when openning Object Picker. (UUM-2825)
  • GI: The editor could crash in case of overlapping light probes when additively loaded scenes. This fix eliminates an attempt to deduplicate light probes with respect to positions. A warning is introduced as the lack of deduplication could cause flickering objects.
  • Graphics: Fixed consistent Gfx.WaitForPresentOnGfxThread editor spikes when using Metal. Also fixed issue which caused the Game View FPS to drop when the editor was moved to a different display. In addition, fixed bad performance when Game View was displayed in a different window at the same time as the Scene View. (UUM-4697)

  • UI Toolkit: Fixed an issue where the UI Builder breaks the cursor property when saving by appending a comma between the additional parameters. (UUM-872)
  • Universal Windows Platform: Fixed memory leak when creating new PlayerPrefs with key that is longer than 25 characters. (UUM-4166)
  • URP: URP 2D - Fix bug when upgrading parametric lights to freeform lights. (UUM-1869)

  • 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.
  • iOS: Changed how selection is handled if it's set before the on screen keyboard has showed up.
  • Services: UGS packages are now available in the Package Manager.
  • Fixes:
  • 2D: Fixed 'require texture compression' setting being reset during player build. (1397965)
  • 2D: Fixed issue where Sprite reference might be lost after upgrading. (1398401)
  • AI: Fixed unidirectional NavMesh links creating erroneous connection between polygons. (1328727)
  • Android: Added Initial launch size metadata into AndroidManifest.xml for Chrome OS devices with Android R or higher installed. (1360064)
  • Android: Fixed a bug with Unity UGUI and UI Elements input fields, where switching languages dynamically and IME functionality was not working. (1395812)
  • 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. (1418634)
  • Android: Fixed XR subsystem initialization in case of app bundle + asset packs. (1392895)
  • Animation: Fixed an issue where the parameter preview of the animator did not work anymore. (1388833)
  • Asset Bundles: Ensure that padding is added after blocks info so that Switch patching works appropriately. This fix implies that loading newly generated AssetBundles will require using this new Unity editor/runtime combination. (1403996)
  • Asset Import: Upgraded boost::asio version to v1.20.0. (1408567)
  • Asset Pipeline: Fixed issue with assert during accelerator client corruption detection. (1376291)
  • Build System: Dedicated server build will not inadvertently strip mesh data from meshes used for collision. (1399961)
  • Build System: Removed legacy project file causing issues when opened through VSCode's Omnisharp. (1389396)
  • Burst: A potential issue with the debug info mover pass, that meant it only affected the first entry point in a module.
  • Burst: Fixed a bug when calling profiling CreateMarker on iOS, Burst could fail at runtime saying it was unable to find CreateMarker__Unmanaged.
  • Burst: Fixed a bug where if you had synchronous compilation on a job, disabled Burst compilation and entered playmode, then exited playmode, and finally re-enabled Burst compilation, a hang could occur.
  • 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 bug where using ReinterpretStore(someIndex, (ushort)someValue) could cause an internal compiler error in Burst.
  • 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.
  • Burst: Fixed another rare case of the file-is-locked bug where the Burst IL Post Processor could incorrectly hold a file lock on a pdb.
  • Burst: Fixed errors when working with paths containing special characters.
  • Burst: Fixed hashing error that could occur with unbound generic type.
  • Burst: Inspector font style changing when entering and exiting play mode.
  • Burst: Right pane vertical scrollbar not always showing correctly.
  • Core: Removed disposed NativeArray and NativeSlice check when iterating or accessing properties like Length due to a performance regression when collections checks are enabled.
  • Documentation: Fixed misleading information for ModifiableContactPair.SetPoint().
  • DX12: - Offset binding support for cbuffers disabled from SystemInfo on DX12 as it has never been supported, full implementation is upcoming. (1381731)
  • Editor: Backport bug fix from 2022.2: Executing Build And Run with Dedicated Server platform now opens terminal window on Linux and macOS. (1354166)

  • Graphics: Fixed mipmap streaming issue that could happen in projects where Quality Setting "Texture Quality" specifies a texture mipmap level of lower resolution that the one set in Quality Setting "Texture Streaming / Max Level Reduction" (case 1417479). (1410879)
  • Graphics: Fixed redundant store of depth buffer MSAA samples to memory on Quest when depth resolve is used. (1413086)

  • 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 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 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).

  • Profiler: Hierarchy Views randomly collapsing (i.e. hiding their children) parts of the sample tree when Editor Only samples are present in a frame and the "Collapse EditorOnly Samples" option is turned on (default setting is on).
  • Profiler: Selections CPU or GPU samples made in the CPU Usage and GPU Usage Profiler Modules now carry over correctly and persistently to all views (Timeline, Hierarchy, Raw Hierarchy) as well as to all frames that contain them. In frames other than the one the selection was originally made in, the selection will point to the first sample that provides the best match to the stack of sample names that lead up to that original sample. So if there are e.g. multiple Components of the same type "MyComponent", and you select the "MyComponent.Update()" sample of one of them, there is no way for the Profiler to identify the "MyComponent.Update()" sample of exactly that sample Component in the next frame. It will therefore just select the very first "MyComponent.Update()" sample it can find. If a part of the Sample Stack is missing in a frame, the selection Tooltip in Timeline or an extra line at the bottom of the Hierarchy views will alert you of the fact, that the selection that was carried over to this frame is just an approximation. An option was added to show the difference in this approximated Sample Stack, and the originally selected Sample Stack. If not even one of the sample names from the original selection fits the samples in a particular frame and thread, no selection will be displayed. If a selection was made on a thread other than the Main Thread, switching to the Hierarchy Views will automatically switch them to the right thread this selection was made in. (1066309)

  • Android: Bump Android Logcat verified version to 1.2.0.
  • Burst: Bursted DOTS Runtime Jobs are now decorated with [NativePInvokeCallback] instead of [MonoPInvokeCallback] which could generate callback wrappers which could cause native code to inadvertently interop with the managed VM.

Since exceptions in Burst are only supported in the editor, this provides a useful warning to users who may be relying on try/catch behaviors for control-flow which is not supported in final game builds.
  • Burst: Added first batch of Arm Neon intrinsics. Currently, only ArmV8 (AArch64) targets are supported. The supported intrinsics include all ArmV7 and ArmV8 ones.

New in Unity 2018.1.0b9 Beta (Feb 28, 2018)

  • System Requirements Changes:
  • Removed support for Windows XP in standalone player builds. Windows Vista is the now minimum supported OS for Windows standalone player.
  • Deprecated support for MonoDevelop. VisualStudio is now the recommended and supported C# editor on both macOS and Windows.
  • Known Issues in 2018.1.0b9:
  • Camera: MAC OSX - Raycasting is incorrect (related to Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay). (978659)
  • GI: "SerializedObject target has been destroyed" appears after environment lighting change. (978554)
  • GI: Editor crashes after assigning Light Probe Group to Anchor Override Parameter. (1002580)

  • Package Manager: Unity Package Manager project sub-folder was moved from UnityPackageManager to Packages. This is to align the physical path with the logical path of packages. Notes:
  • Projects configured with a NuGet should change their configuration to point to another folder (default repository path for NuGet configuration is packages). The risk of NuGet and Unity Package Manager sharing the Packages folder is minimal, but we suggest to separate them nonetheless to avoid any issues.
  • When opening a project created with a previous version, a migration flow will copy the content of the UnityPackageManager folder to the Packages folder. It is left to the project maintainer to erase the UnityPackageManager folder and update source control configuration.
  • API Changes:
  • AI: New experimental API for NavMesh queries, usable within C# jobs: namespace UnityEngine.Experimental.AI; struct PolygonID; struct NavMeshLocation; enum PathQueryStatus; enum NavMeshPolyTypes; struct NavMeshWorld; struct NavMeshQuery with these methods: BeginFindPath(), UpdateFindPath(), EndFindPath(), GetPathResult(), IsValid(), GetAgentTypeIdForPolygon(), MapLocation(), GetPortalPoints(), MoveLocations(), MoveLocation(), PolygonLocalToWorldMatrix(), PolygonWorldToLocalMatrix(), GetPolygonType(), Dispose().

New in Unity 2018.1.0b6 Beta (Feb 8, 2018)

  • SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS CHANGES:
  • Removed support for Windows XP in standalone player builds. Windows Vista is the now minimum supported OS for Windows standalone player.
  • Deprecated support for MonoDevelop. VisualStudio is now the recommended and supported C# editor on both macOS and Windows.
  • KNOWN ISSUES IN 2018.1.0B6:
  • GI: AddInstancePropertiesJob error while baking with specific assets (973689)
  • Particles: Line renderer is rendered in scene/game window when selecting object in the Project window (972298)
  • Audio: [Audio Mixer] Crash on play when duplicated audio group is assigned to audio source (962084)
  • Animation: Null Reference exception occurs when trying to add/delete the event or changing sample number. (989758)
  • Particles: Unity crashes when duplicating/moving nested particle systems with a disabled renderer (988423)

  • UI: UI Button changes its position after re-entering the playmode (995548)
  • Animation: Curve with weighted keyframes does not animate properly in the animator (986008)
  • Templates: Project templates will be updated in subsequent betas to address the following points:
  • The 2D template currently creates a default scene with a UI canvas: this will be removed in a subsequent build.
  • The 3D Ultra template is missing the "Preview" tag currently.
  • All templates: Lighting settings improvements to come in a subsequent build.
  • Progressive lightmapper doesn't work on Linux, which means that all 3D templates will crash on launch. The 2D template should still work.
  • FEATURES:
  • Editor: Assembly Definition Files (asmdef) assemblies are now compiled on startup before any other scripts (Assembly-CSharp.dll and friends) and compilation does not stop on the first compile error. All asmdef assemblies that succesfully compile and have all their references compiled are loaded before compiling the remaining scripts (Assembly-CSharp.dll and friends). This ensures that Unity packages are always built and and loaded regardless of other compile errors in the project.
  • Package Manager: Updated Package Manager user interface (from where a project's packages can be managed and new packages can be discovered) to v1.6.1. What's new in 1.6.1:
  • When updating the package, the user is now asked to confirm temporary closure of the window. Note however that this will only be the case when updating from v1.6.1 onwards. When updating from 1.5.1 to 1.6.1, a restart of Unity is necessary for the update to take effect.
  • The window is now dockable.
  • UI style rework, making it consistent with the rest of the Editor.
  • Added keyboard navigation in the Packages list

  • API Changes
  • 2D: Added DetectChunkCullingBounds to TilemapRenderer to allow for correct culling of large tiles. (971087)
  • Editor: Explicitly setting the following delegates to null will no longer draw a control handle, instead of drawing using a default implementation: PrimitiveBoundsHandle.midpointHandleDrawFunction, ArcHandle.angleHandleDrawFunction, ArcHandle.radiusHandleDrawFunction, JointAngularLimitHandle.angleHandleDrawFunction.
  • Editor: Explicitly setting the following delegates to null will now result in a handle size of 0 instead of using a default value: PrimitiveBoundsHandle.midpointHandleSizeFunction, ArcHandle.angleHandleSizeFunction, ArcHandle.radiusHandleSizeFunction, JointAngularLimitHandle.angleHandleSizeFunction.
  • FIXES:
  • Asset Import: Fixed an issue where the update avatar button would not disappear in the ModelImporter Rig panel. (837263, 990716)

New in Unity 2017.3.0f2 RC 2 (Dec 8, 2017)

  • Known Issues in 2017.3.0f2:
  • Android: Gradle builds fail when there are more than 250 files in streamingAssets. As a workaround, you can use a custom file extension for the files you want uncompressed. Specify this extension in a custom Gradle mainTemplate under "noCompress". You should also remove "STREAMING_ASSETS" from the template to avoid hitting the file limit. (962451)
  • Editor: MonoDevelop might get corrupted on macOS. Workaround is to rename MonoDevelop.app to something else like MonoDevelop2.app and then back to MonoDevelop.app again. This will make MonoDevelop work again. (969131)

New in Unity 2017.2.0 (Oct 13, 2017)

  • System Requirements Changes:
  • Removed iOS 6.0 support. The minimum supported version is now 7.0.
  • Features:
  • 2D: Added Tilemap. description
  • Asset Import: Added support for animated custom properties from FBX. description
  • Asset Import: Added support for Stingray material import from FBX. description
  • GI: Added per-object lightmap seam stitching for Progressive Lightmapper. description
  • GI: Added profiler for Realtime Global Illumination.
  • GI: Added support for double-sided materials in Progressive Lightmapper. Added a new Material setting that causes lighting to interact with backfaces. When enabled, both sides of the geometry get accounted for when calculating Global Illumination. Backfaces do not count as invalid when seen from other GameObjects. Backface rendering is not controlled by this setting, and backfaces are not represented in the lightmaps. Backfaces bounce light using the same emission and albedo as frontfaces.
  • GI: Added support for per-object casting and receiving shadows in the Progressive Lightmapper. For "Cast Shadows", only the "On" and "Off" options are currently supported.
  • Graphics: Implemented Display-P3 color gamut support for iOS and macOS. Added "Color Gamut" property to Player Settings, which will eventually cover other platforms with wide color gamut support.
  • Multiplayer: Added new QoS options for delivery of large messages: reliable or unreliable, and un-ordered (fragmented) or ordered (fragmented sequenced).
  • OSX: Added support for Retina in macOS standalone builds.
  • Package Manager: Exposed the API for enabling internal components to be updated more frequently than the Editor. This is the first step in implementing the Unity Package Manager. We are taking an incremental approach to integrate the system into the Unity ecosystem. It will grow with more features over time. For this first release, we have avoided exposing user-facing features.
  • Particles: Added "Stop Action" option to allow Particle Systems to be destroyed or disabled when they finish playing. description
  • Particles: Added Linear Drag support for Particles. The new options are in the Limit Velocity over Lifetime Module. description
  • Services: Performance Reporting Service: Added support for native crashes on Android.
  • Timeline: Added support for Avatar Masks on Animation Tracks.
  • Video: Added pixel aspect ratio support for non-square pixels.
  • WebGL: Added linear rendering to WebGL 2.0
  • XR: Added openVR support for Mac 64bit application target that use Metal graphics.
  • XR: Added support for certain aspects of the Vive HMD to be simulated in-Editor without the need of a physical HMD. To enable this, use the "Mock HMD - Vive" virtual reality SDK in the Player Settings. The mock HMD uses the same asymmetric projection matrix, hidden occlusion mesh, field of view, aspect ratio, and eye texture size as the Vive. You can use mock HMD with both multi and single pass rendering paths. It renders as a split-screen stereo display in the Editor.
  • XR: Added support for Google ARCore augmented reality technology when targeting Android 7.0 and above on supported devices. See our blog post for more information and how to get started
  • XR: Added support for Video Async Reprojection for Daydream View. Video Async Reprojection allows an app to feed video frames directly into the Google VR Async Reprojection system without going through the main Unity render loop. This provides a fast path to direct rendering of video, regardless of the current frame rate Unity is rendering at and skips Texture filtering, providing for a much higher quality output. There is also an option to allow for the use of protected memory, for users that need to render DRM-protected content.
  • XR: Added support for Windows Mixed Reality as a Virtual Reality SDK target. This extends Unity's HoloLens support so that it more generally supports Windows Mixed Reality, both for desktop and HoloLens.
  • XR: Added the TrackedPoseDriver component, which can be added to a game object to match the position and rotation of a AR device, VR HMD, or VR controller.
  • XR: Stereo Instancing (also known as single-pass instanced) is now supported on desktops when the DirectX 11 (DX11) rendering API is in use. Stereo Instancing is only supported with forward rendering.
  • XR: Unity Editor has foundation support for EditorVR. Look for a future announcement around availability of a 2017.2 compatible EditorVR version.
  • XR: Windows Mixed Reality headsets are now supported for playing in-Editor.
  • XR: Introduced native integration for the Vuforia Augmented Reality Platform. Vuforia support can be installed through the Unity Download Assistant and enabled under PlayerSettings/XR. For more information about Vuforia see https://developer.vuforia.com.
  • Backwards Compatibility Breaking Changes:
  • Scripting: UnityEngine.dll is now split into separate dlls for each UnityEngine module.

  • Package Manager: When opening a project, Unity may try to alter the contents of package meta files. This can happen when opening the same project with multiple versions of Unity. Since the package cache folder is read-only, this results in an access denied error during Unity startup. Clicking 'Cancel' will allow you to continue to open the project, and the error will not appear on subsequent project loads. This will be fixed in a patch release soon. (957025)

New in Unity 2017.3.0b4 Beta (Oct 11, 2017)

  • KNOWN ISSUES IN 2017.3.0B4:
  • Editor: DelayedTextField will now persist the edited value when the owning window loses focus (584291, 871673, 871674, 871675, 871703)
  • Editor: Inspector doesn't immediately reflect changes in arrays when an element is deleted (627322)
  • Editor: Remote Device IP Address doesn't get updated if enter wasn't pressed (848969)
  • Package Manager: Package Manager startup freezes when a proxy is enabled without the UNITY_NOPROXY environment variable (931921)
  • Services: Fixed an issue in Collab where renamed files were not being uploaded with their new content (916233)

New in Unity 2017.2.0f2 Beta (Oct 3, 2017)

  • SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS CHANGES:
  • Removed iOS 6.0 support. The minimum supported version is now 7.0.
  • FEATURES:
  • 2D: Added Tilemap. description
  • Asset Import: Added support for animated custom properties from FBX. description
  • Asset Import: Added support for Stingray material import from FBX. description
  • GI: Added support for per-object cast and receive shadows in the Progressive Lightmapper. For Cast Shadows, only On and Off options are supported.
  • GI: Per-object lightmap seam stitching for Progressive Lightmapper. description
  • GI: Profiler for Realtime Global Illumination.
  • GI: Support for double-sided materials in Progressive Lightmapper. Added a new material setting that causes lighting to interact with backfaces. When enabled, both sides of the geometry get accounted for when calculating Global Illumination. Backfaces do not count as invalid when seen from other objects. Backface rendering is not controlled by this setting nor will backfaces be represented in the lightmaps. Backfaces bounce light using the same emission and albedo as frontfaces.
  • Graphics: Implemented Display-P3 color gamut support for iOS and macOS. A "color gamut" player setting has been added, which will eventually cover other platforms with wide color gamut support.
  • Multiplayer: New QoS options for delivery of large messages: reliable or unreliable, and un-ordered (fragmented) or ordered (fragmented sequenced).
  • OSX: Added support for Retina in macOS standalone builds.
  • Package Manager: In 2017.2, we are introducing Unity Package Manager. This will be the first stepping stone for the system. We are taking an incremental approach to integrate the system into the Unity ecosystem. It will grow with more features over time. For this first release, we avoid exposing user facing features. Instead, we are exposing an API for enabling internal components to be updated more frequently than the editor (the first pillar of the system).
  • Particles: Added Linear Drag support for Particles. The new options can be found in the Limit Velocity over Lifetime Module. description
  • Particles: Added new option to allow Particle Systems to be destroyed or disabled when they finish playing. description
  • Services: Performance Reporting Service: Added support for native crashes on Android.

  • Video: Added pixel aspect ratio support for non-square pixel.
  • WebGL: Added linear rendering to WebGL 2.0
  • XR: Added support for certain aspects of the Vive HMD to be simulated in-Editor without the need of a physical HMD. Enable by using the "Mock HMD - Vive" virtual reality SDK in the player settings. The mock HMD uses the same asymmetric projection matrix, hidden occlusion mesh, field of view, aspect ratio, and eye texture size as the Vive. Mock HMD can be used with both multi and single pass rendering paths and will render as a split screen stereo display in Editor.
  • XR: Added support for Google ARCore augmented reality technology when targeting Android 7.0 and above on supported devices. See our blog post for more information and how to get started https://blogs.unity3d.com/2017/08/29/ar-comes-to-android-with-the-arcore-sdk/
  • XR: Added support for Video Async Reprojection. Video Async Reprojection allows an app to feed video frames directly into the Google VR Async Reprojection system. These frames are composited directly into the scene without going through the main Unity render loop. This provides a fast path to direct rendering of video regardless of the current frame rate Unity is rendering at. When using Async Video Reprojection, texture filtering is skipped providing for a much higher quality output. There is an option to allow for the use of protected memory for users that need to render DRM protected content.
  • XR: Added support for Windows Mixed Reality as a Virtual Reality SDK target. This extends Unity's HoloLens support so that it more generally supports Windows Mixed Reality, both for desktop and HoloLens.
  • XR: EditorVR is now supported without needing a custom build (still requires separate Unity Package download).
  • XR: Introduced native integration for the Vuforia Augmented Reality Platform: additional feature support will follow in later beta updates. Vuforia support can be installed through the Unity Download Assistant and enabled under PlayerSettings/XR. For more information about Vuforia see https://developer.vuforia.com.
  • XR: OpenVR support for Mac 64bit application target that use Metal graphics.
  • XR: The single-pass instanced rendering path is now supported on desktops when the DirectX 11 rendering API is in use. Single-pass instanced rendering is only supported with forward rendering.
  • XR: Windows Mixed Reality headsets are now supported for playing in-editor.
  • BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY BREAKING CHANGES:
  • Scripting: UnityEngine.dll is now split into separate dlls for each UnityEngine module.
  • CHANGES:
  • Android: "Export as ADT project" is now obsolete.
  • Android: Changed default frame rate (Application.targetFrameRate 0) to 30 when v-sync is off, similar to iOS.
  • Editor: 2017 Editor requires a new license version. Subscription keys will be upgraded, but 5.x license keys will not be accepted by 2017 Editor. If you have only a 5.x license, please visit https://store.unity.com/ or contact your sales representative to obtain a 2017-compatible license.
  • Editor: APIUpdater no longer runs automatically when Editor runs in batch mode. See -accept-apiupdate command argument for more information.

  • Scripting: Editor: Load precompiled managed assemblies (.dlls) on startup even if there are compile errors in other scripts.
  • Scripting: Serialization: Disabled support for opposite-endinanness asset bundles.
  • Scripting: InitializeOnLoad now invoked after deserialization. See Upgrade guide for details. (879044)
  • Scripting: MonoBehaviour.OnValidate is now called when adding a MonoBehaviour to a game object in the editor.

  • Editor: Unity Troubleshooter allows users to observe a list of previously reported issues and search for similar issues in Unity Knowledge base
  • GI: Added A-Trous, a new edge-aware filter for GI when using the Progressive Lightmapper.
  • GI: Added support for LOD baking in Progressive Lightmapper.
  • GI: Asynchronous loading of precomputed realtime GI data, by moving the GI part of file I/O into the loading thread. Exposed DynamicGI.IsConverged to public API so user can know when lighting is converged. Timesliced albedo-emission rendering during load. (710503, 790887, 815033)
  • GI: Fill the empty areas in the lightmaps with content from the lower mip levels (push-pull dilation). This will fix the cases where dark pixels around geometry edges are visible when rendering with lightmaps. The is due to dark background texels bleeding in when lower MIPs are accessed.
  • GI: HDR emission: enabled 16 bit floating point format for emission for both realtime and baked GI. Baked GI output is still limited by RGBM range. HDR color picker limit increased from 99 to 64k.

  • VR: Updated Oculus to version 1.14
  • Web: UnityWebRequesst now has DownloadHandlerFile available for downloading files and saving them to disk with low memory footprint.
  • Windows: The crash dialog in the Windows Player has been improved with more detail, and prompts the user to open an Explorer window to the crash report.
  • Windows: The player executable has been split into two parts: a signed UnityPlayer.dll that has all the engine code, and a wrapper executable that merely calls into this DLL at startup. The source code for the executable can be found under EditorDataWindowsStandaloneSupportSourceWindowsPlayer. It can be rebuilt with VS2015 as long as you have "Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015" and "Windows XP Support for C++" installed.

New in Unity 2017.2.0f1 Beta (Sep 23, 2017)

  • FEATURES:
  • 2D: Added Tilemap.
  • Asset Import: Added support for animated custom properties from FBX. description
  • Asset Import: Added support for Stingray material import from FBX. description
  • Editor: Added assembly definition files feature for script compilation pipeline in the editor. Allows you to define your own managed assemblies based upon scripts inside a folder. By splitting your project's scripts into multiple assemblies, script compilation times in the editor can be greatly reduced. Note that the latest version of Visual Studio Tools for Unity is required for this feature to work with solution and project generation for Visual Studio.
  • Feature was disabled in 2017.2.0b11 because development did not finish in time for release.
  • GI: Added support for per-object cast and receive shadows in the Progressive Lightmapper. For Cast Shadows, only On and Off options are supported.
  • GI: Per-object lightmap seam stitching for Progressive Lightmapper. description
  • GI: Profiler for Realtime Global Illumination.
  • GI: Support for double-sided materials in Progressive Lightmapper. Added a new material setting that causes lighting to interact with backfaces. When enabled, both sides of the geometry get accounted for when calculating Global Illumination. Backfaces do not count as invalid when seen from other objects. Backface rendering is not controlled by this setting nor will backfaces be represented in the lightmaps. Backfaces bounce light using the same emission and albedo as frontfaces.
  • Graphics: Implemented Display-P3 color gamut support for iOS and macOS. A "color gamut" player setting has been added, which will eventually cover other platforms with wide color gamut support.
  • Multiplayer: New QoS options for delivery of large messages: reliable or unreliable, and un-ordered (fragmented) or ordered (fragmented sequenced).
  • OSX: Added support for Retina in macOS standalone builds.
  • Package Manager: In 2017.2, we are introducing Unity Package Manager. This will be the first stepping stone for the system. We are taking an incremental approach to integrate the system into the Unity ecosystem. It will grow with more features over time. For this first release, we avoid exposing user facing features. Instead, we are exposing an API for enabling internal components to be updated more frequently than the editor (the first pillar of the system).
  • Particles: Added Linear Drag support for Particles. The new options can be found in the Limit Velocity over Lifetime Module.
  • Particles: Added new option to allow Particle Systems to be destroyed or disabled when they finish playing. description
  • Services: Performance Reporting Service: Added support for native crashes on Android.
  • Timeline: Added support for Avatar Masks on Animation Tracks.
  • Video: Added pixel aspect ratio support for non-square pixel.
  • WebGL: Added linear rendering to WebGL 2.0
  • XR: Added support for certain aspects of the Vive HMD to be simulated in-Editor without the need of a physical HMD. Enable by using the "Mock HMD - Vive" virtual reality SDK in the player settings. The mock HMD uses the same asymmetric projection matrix, hidden occlusion mesh, field of view, aspect ratio, and eye texture size as the Vive. Mock HMD can be used with both multi and single pass rendering paths and will render as a split screen stereo display in Editor.
  • XR: Added support for Google ARCore augmented reality technology when targeting Android 7.0 and above on supported devices. See our blog post for more information and how to get started https://blogs.unity3d.com/2017/08/29/ar-comes-to-android-with-the-arcore-sdk/
  • XR: Added support for Video Async Reprojection. Video Async Reprojection allows an app to feed video frames directly into the Google VR Async Reprojection system. These frames are composited directly into the scene without going through the main Unity render loop. This provides a fast path to direct rendering of video regardless of the current frame rate Unity is rendering at. When using Async Video Reprojection, texture filtering is skipped providing for a much higher quality output. There is an option to allow for the use of protected memory for users that need to render DRM protected content.
  • XR: Added support for Windows Mixed Reality as a Virtual Reality SDK target. This extends Unity's HoloLens support so that it more generally supports Windows Mixed Reality, both for desktop and HoloLens.
  • XR: EditorVR is now supported without needing a custom build (still requires separate Unity Package download).
  • XR: Introduced native integration for the Vuforia Augmented Reality Platform: additional feature support will follow in later beta updates. Vuforia support can be installed through the Unity Download Assistant and enabled under PlayerSettings/XR. For more information about Vuforia see https://developer.vuforia.com.
  • XR: OpenVR support for Mac 64bit application target that use Metal graphics.
  • XR: The single-pass instanced rendering path is now supported on desktops when the DirectX 11 rendering API is in use. Single-pass instanced rendering is only supported with forward rendering.
  • XR: Windows Mixed Reality headsets are now supported for playing in-editor.

  • Editor: Exposed LZ4 compression setting to the BuildPlayer window for iOS/Android/Standalone.
  • Editor: Unity Troubleshooter allows users to observe a list of previously reported issues and search for similar issues in Unity Knowledge base
  • GI: Added A-Trous, a new edge-aware filter for GI when using the Progressive Lightmapper.
  • GI: Added support for LOD baking in Progressive Lightmapper.
  • GI: Asynchronous loading of precomputed realtime GI data, by moving the GI part of file I/O into the loading thread. Exposed DynamicGI.IsConverged to public API so user can know when lighting is converged. Timesliced albedo-emission rendering during load. (710503, 790887, 815033)
  • GI: Fill the empty areas in the lightmaps with content from the lower mip levels (push-pull dilation). This will fix the cases where dark pixels around geometry edges are visible when rendering with lightmaps. The is due to dark background texels bleeding in when lower MIPs are accessed.

  • GI: Lit clustering debug visualization does not show (to be fixed in patch) (911953)
  • xR: Rendering problems on Pixel Daydream when using 4x or 8x MSAA with single-pass stereo. This is due to driver issues, so the problem will be addressed via a driver update, independently of Unity releases.
  • FEATURES:
  • 2D: Added Sprite Physics Shape to Sprite Editor, to allow users to set a custom default shape for a Sprite for generating collider shapes with a PolygonCollider2D.
  • 2D: Introduced 2D Sprite Atlas, a new asset that will supplant the Sprite Packer. With it comes new and improved workflows that gives the developer more control on how to pack sprites and use them at runtime. description
  • 2D: Sprite Mask. Mask Sprites in world space using the new SpriteMask component. description
  • Animation: Manual Keyframing Workflow. Separate Recording and Preview modes in the Animation Window. Contextual menus added to all animatable properties in the inspector.
  • Animation: New GameObjectRecorder in UnityEditor.Experimental.Animations description
  • Audio: Added support for ambisonic audio clips and ambisonic decoder plugins.
  • Audio: Timeline Editor Audio Track support. Audio clips are now enabled in Timeline, using a scheduling API.
  • Build Pipeline: The Asset Bundle Browser comes out of beta with Unity 2017.1. This tool enables the user to view and edit the configuration of Asset Bundles for their Unity project. It is intended to replace the current workflow of selecting assets and setting their Asset Bundle manually in the inspector. description
  • Collab: In-Progress. In-Progress allows developers using Unity Collaborate to see who else on their team has made local changes to a Scene or Prefab before those changes have been published. description
  • Editor: Added new ArcHandle class in UnityEditor.IMGUI.Controls to interactively edit arcs in the Scene View. description
  • Editor: Experimental feature : retained-mode UI system for the Editor (UI Elements)
  • GI: Added support for baked LODs in Progressive Lightmapper
  • GI: Support for double sided materials in Progressive Lightmapper. Added a new material setting that causes lighting to interact with backfaces. When enabled, both sides of the geometry get accounted for when calculating Global Illumination. Backfaces do not count as invalid when seen from other objects. Backface rendering is not controlled by this setting nor will backfaces be represented in the lightmaps. Backfaces bounce light using the same emission and albedo as frontfaces.
  • Graphics: Added Custom Render Texture asset. A Custom Render Texture is a new type of Render Texture that can be easily updated with a shader. It provides a user interface and a scripting framework. description
  • Graphics: Added LineUtility class and 'LineRenderer.Simplify' function. Optimize your lines and curves by using the LineUtility to create a simplified version with a similar shape.
  • Graphics: Added partial update/readback of compute buffers
  • Graphics: The latest version of the Post-processing stack is available in beta. This new version offers improved effects and a complete framework for custom effects. It also comes with a volume-based blending feature, so you can define areas in the scene and set up specific looks when the player enters them. Unity will automatically blend between volumes to allow for smooth look transitions. Final release is expected this summer.
  • Graphics: Updated Splash screen logo and style
  • IMGUI: Added SearchField, a new IMGUI Control. It comes with Normal and Toolbar UI styles but can also be customized.
  • Input: Added new Player Settings property 'Input Manager' for enabling backend of new input system preview feature. The front-end is supplied separately and is not included with the release.
  • iOS: Enable deferred shading rendering path for Metal and OpenGL ES 3.0 for A8 and later iOS devices.
  • Particles: Added support for using Sprites in the Particle System, via the Texture Sheet Animation Module description
  • Particles: Apply Noise Module data to particles sizes and rotations, and also send the noise data to your shaders via new Custom Vertex Streams. description description
  • Particles: New Donut emission shape. description
  • Playables: Playable Assets added to Playable API.
  • Playables: Playable Director added to play Playable Assets
  • Playables: Timeline Editor and Runtime API. A tool for sequencing animation, scripts and audio. description
  • Scripting: Experimental support for new scripting runtime. This includes Mono 4.8 and IL2CPP with support for C# 6 and .NET 4.6 description
  • Shaders: Added support for "inline" sampler states:
  • HLSL SamplerState objects that aren't taking sampling state from any texture (like what "sampler"+TextureName samplers do), but where sampling state is instead derived from the name.
  • For example, "MyLinearClampSampler" sets up bilinear filtering and clamp wrap mode; while "point_repeat_sampler" sets up point filtering and repeat wrap mode.
  • This allows e.g. doing both PCF depth comparison and reading raw depth value from a shadow map in a single shader.
  • Note that generally only modern graphics APIs support separate textures & samplers. You might therefore want to specify #pragma target 3.5 or similar in your shaders for this.
  • Implemented on DX11, DX12, PS4, XB1, Metal (Vulkan not yet).
  • Windows: Multi-display support for UWP.
  • CHANGES:
  • Asset Import: Upgraded FBX SDK to 2016.1.2
  • Build Pipeline: Added new function SwitchActiveBuildTargetAsync. This defers switching so that scripts can be imported first.

  • Editor: 2017 Editor now needs a new version of license. Subscription key will be upgraded. 5.x license key will not be accepted by 2017 Editor.
  • Editor: Added new GameObject sub menu - 'GameObject/Effects/. This menu includes a Line andTrail creation. The particle system has also been moved to this menu.
  • Editor: Added requirement for Visual C++ Runtime 2013 and 2015 to be installed when installing Windows Editor (i.e. the check is performed by Windows Editor installer).
  • Editor: AssetServer version control support has been removed from the editor.
  • Editor: Moved particle system rigidbody info message to top of the system as it does not just apply to inherit velocity

  • Editor: Particle trail material slot is now always visible even if it is not used.
  • Editor: RenderDoc enabled for DX12 Editor mode.
  • Light modes: Shadowmask and Distance shadowmask modes are now a Quality Setting and can be changed at runtime.
  • OSX: Disabled Metal on macOS 10.12.2 and 10.12.3 for stability reasons if GLCore is also present in API list
  • Universal Windows Platform: DX11 feature level 9.3 GPU support is required now. In practice this probably does not affect anything, as all Windows Phones that ever existed support 9.3 level already.
  • Universal Windows Platform: Removed support for building Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 applications.
  • VR: Added OpenVR to the default PC VR SDK list. The default behavior is to try initializing Oculus first, followed by OpenVR if an Oculus device isn't detected.

  • Asset Import: Added ability to import visibility from FBX files to ModelImporter
  • Asset Import: Added the option of computing weighted normals when importing FBX files. Fixed normal generation for hard edges.
  • Asset Import: Changing tabs in the Model Importer inspector does not force users to apply changes anymore
  • Asset Import: Reduced the import time for FBX assets with humanoid animations
  • Asset Import: Support Segment Scale Compensate for models exported from Maya.
  • Asset Pipeline: Enabled asynchronous texture uploading from non-scene Asset Bundles on all platforms
  • Asset Pipeline: In batchmode the FailedAssetImports.txt file is now ignored because there's no way to cancel or notify the user when the asset importer fails.
  • Build Pipeline: Added delegates to BuildPlayerWindow that allow overriding the default Build button behavior
  • Build Pipeline: Scripts-only build is now available on all platforms.
  • Build Pipeline: Unified assembly stripping code used for IL2CPP and Mono builds - which should result in more consistent behaviour between IL2CPP and Mono and in smaller build sizes for platforms supporting assembly stripping on Mono.
  • Collab: Project Browser Filters including 'All Modified', 'All Excluded', 'All Conflicts', 'All In Progress' description
  • Collab: Right Click Menu Options in the Project Browser including See Differences, Revert, Conflict Resolution description description

  • Editor: Simplify dragging code setup: Getting rid of the requirement of setting DragAndDrop.objectReferences = new UnityEngine.Object[] {} when using DragAndDrop.SetGenericData()
  • GI: Support for per object cast and receive shadows in the Progressive Lightmapper. For Cast Shadows only On and Off options are supported.
  • GI: Upgrade Enlighten SDK to version 3.08p1
  • Graphics: Added a batch break cause (material disables instancing) to Frame Debugger.

  • Windows: [WSA] Error messages appear while/after building a project with "Unity C# projects", if the Editor folder contains a script. (918989)
  • XR: GearVR HMD Touchpad does not currently send input through the new input system.
  • XR: Haptics with Vive controller is currently disabled due to issues with correctly playing haptics on the correct controller
  • XR: Hololens / UWP / PS4 VR Devices not yet supported with the new input system for VR use.
  • XR: New API surface for recent UnityEngine.VR.WSA.Input changes has forthcoming breaking changes to land in another beta soon.
  • XR: Script updater may fail to update Vuforia resource scripts. Re-importing assets forces the updater to run.
  • XR: Vuforia loading fails when used on iOS.
  • XR: [VR Oculus Compositor Splash] Particle System does not work on Build when VR is enabled (926695)
  • FEATURES:
  • 2D: Added Tilemap.
  • Asset Import: Added support for animated custom properties from FBX.
  • Asset Import: Added support for Stingray material import from FBX.
  • Editor: Added assembly definition files feature for script compilation pipeline in the editor. Allows you to define your own managed assemblies based upon scripts inside a folder. By splitting your project's scripts into multiple assemblies, script compilation times in the editor can be greatly reduced. Note that the latest version of Visual Studio Tools for Unity is required for this feature to work with solution and project generation for Visual Studio.
  • GI: Added support for per-object cast and receive shadows in the Progressive Lightmapper. For Cast Shadows, only On and Off options are supported.
  • GI: Per-object lightmap seam stitching for Progressive Lightmapper.
  • GI: Profiler for Realtime Global Illumination.
  • GI: Support for double-sided materials in Progressive Lightmapper. Added a new material setting that causes lighting to interact with backfaces. When enabled, both sides of the geometry get accounted for when calculating Global Illumination. Backfaces do not count as invalid when seen from other objects. Backface rendering is not controlled by this setting nor will backfaces be represented in the lightmaps. Backfaces bounce light using the same emission and albedo as frontfaces.
  • Graphics: Implemented Display-P3 color gamut support for iOS and macOS. A "color gamut" player setting has been added, which will eventually cover other platforms with wide color gamut support.
  • Multiplayer: New QoS options for delivery of large messages: reliable or unreliable, and un-ordered (fragmented) or ordered (fragmented sequenced).
  • OSX: Added support for Retina in macOS standalone builds.
  • PackMan: In 2017.2, we are introducing Unity Package Manager. This will be the first stepping stone for the system. We are taking an incremental approach to integrate the system into the Unity ecosystem. It will grow with more features over time. For this first release, we avoid exposing user facing features. Instead, we are exposing an API for enabling internal components to be updated more frequently than the editor (the first pillar of the system).
  • Particles: Add new option to allow Particle Systems to be destroyed or disabled when they finish playing.
  • Particles: Added Linear Drag support for Particles. The new options can be found in the Limit Velocity over Lifetime Module.
  • Services: Performance Reporting Service: Added support for native crashes on Android.
  • Timeline: Added support for Avatar Masks on Animation Tracks.
  • Video: Added pixel aspect ratio support for non-square pixel.
  • WebGL: Added linear rendering to WebGL 2.0
  • XR: Added support for Google Tango augmented reality technology when targeting Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and above. The Tango API provides accurate device position information as well as depth data that describes the physical space of the user's surroundings. With Unity's support for Tango it is convenient for developers to drive a standard Unity camera using their device's real-world position, create 3D meshes representing the device's surroundings, and render the color camera's image as the background for an augmented reality experience.
  • XR: Added support for Video Async Reprojection. Video Async Reprojection allows an app to feed video frames directly into the Google VR Async Reprojection system. These frames are composited directly into the scene without going through the main Unity render loop. This provides a fast path to direct rendering of video regardless of the current frame rate Unity is rendering at. When using Async Video Reprojection, texture filtering is skipped providing for a much higher quality output. There is an option to allow for the use of protected memory for users that need to render DRM protected content.
  • XR: Added support for Windows Mixed Reality as a Virtual Reality SDK target. This extends Unity's HoloLens support so that it more generally supports Windows Mixed Reality, both for desktop and HoloLens.
  • XR: Certain aspects of the Vive HMD can be simulated in Editor, without the need of a physical HMD, using the "Mock HMD - Vive" virtual reality SDK in the player settings. The mock HMD will use the same asymmetric projection matrix, hidden occlusion mesh, field of view, aspect ratio, and eye texture size as the Vive. Mock HMD can be used with both multi and single pass rendering paths. Mock HMD will render as a split screen stereo display in Editor.
  • XR: Introduced native integration for the Vuforia Augmented Reality Platform: additional feature support will follow in later beta updates. Vuforia support can be installed through the Unity Download Assistant and enabled under PlayerSettings/XR. For more information about Vuforia see https://developer.vuforia.com.
  • XR: Windows Mixed Reality headsets are now supported for playing in-editor.
  • CHANGES:
  • Android: Changed default frame rate (Application.targetFrameRate 0) to 30 when v-sync is off, similar to iOS.
  • Editor: 2017 Editor requires a new license version. Subscription keys will be upgraded, but 5.x license keys will not be accepted by 2017 Editor. If you have only a 5.x license, please visit https://store.unity.com/ or contact your sales representative to obtain a 2017-compatible license.
  • Editor: APIUpdater no longer runs automatically when Editor runs in batch mode. See -accept-apiupdate command argument for more information.
  • Editor: Changed the behaviour of the "members" button in the Collab toolbar: it now opens a page in the web dashboard to add/remove project members.
  • Editor: Editor GUI tooltips are no longer suspended if the scene is paused in Play mode.
  • Editor: Reduced the verbosity in editor log for script recompilation.
  • Scripting: Editor: Load precompiled managed assemblies (.dlls) and assembly definition file assemblies on startup even if there are compile errors in other scripts.

  • Scripting: InitializeOnLoad now invoked after deserialization. See Upgrade guide for details.
  • Scripting: MonoBehaviour.OnValidate is now called when adding a MonoBehaviour to a game object in the editor.
  • UI: The legacy (Unity 1.0) UI system components - GUILayer, GUIText, and GUITexture - have been marked as deprecated. GUILayer components are no longer added to the camera by default.
  • Universal Windows Platform: The default scripting backend on Universal Windows Platform has changed to IL2CPP.
  • Audio: AudioMixer ducking improvements:
  • Optimized CPU performance.
  • Changed behaviour so that ducking amount corresponds to the maximum level on each channel.
  • IMPROVEMENTS:
  • AI: Debug data from the process of building a NavMesh with the NavMeshBuilder API can be selectively collected and visualized in the Editor using NavMeshEditorHelpers.DrawBuildDebug().
  • AI: Improved performance when synchronizing NavMesh tiles after carving.
  • Android: Significantly improved the performance of large prefabs loading (Resources.Load* or AssetBundle.LoadAsset* APIs) on Android.
  • Android: The backend ETC texture compressor is now configurable in the Editor Settings with different quality/compression speed tradeoffs.
  • Animation: Added copy pasting of transition parameters in Animator State Machine.
  • Animation: Added option to Animator States to pull normalized time from a specified Parameter rather than using Time.deltaTime.
  • Asset Import: Minor impovements to the Avatar Mask and Transform Mask UI.
  • Asset Import: Parallelized the animation clip keyframe reduction during import.

  • Editor: Assorted usability refinements to Profiler charts: All series types can now be toggled, stacked chart series now have explicit reorderable affordances, stacked plots now appear as solid colors.
  • Editor: Exposed LZ4 compression setting to the BuildPlayer window for iOS/Android/Standalone.
  • GI: Added A-Trous, a new edge-aware filter for GI when using the Progressive Lightmapper.
  • GI: Added support for LOD baking in Progressive Lightmapper.
  • GI: Asynchronous loading of precomputed realtime GI data, by moving the GI part of file I/O into the loading thread. Exposed DynamicGI.IsConverged to public API so user can know when lighting is converged. Timesliced albedo-emission rendering during load.
  • GI: Fill the empty areas in the lightmaps with content from the lower mip levels (push-pull dilation). This will fix the cases where dark pixels around geometry edges are visible when rendering with lightmaps. The is due to dark background texels bleeding in when lower MIPs are accessed.
  • GI: HDR emission: enabled 16 bit floating point format for emission for both realtime and baked GI. Baked GI output is still limited by RGBM range. HDR color picker limit increased from 99 to 64k.
  • GI: Terrain trees can now cast shadows into the baked lightmap for terrains. Terrain tree probes are now in the top of the tree canopy to make sure probes don't end up inside the tree trunk.
  • Graphics: Added "Dynamic Occludee" settings in renderer to control whether dynamic objects should skip occlusion culling.
  • Graphics: Added "Metal Restricted backbuffer Use" that allows improved performance in non-default device orientation.
  • Graphics: Added GPU Skinning via compute on Vulkan, D3D12, PS4 and Xbox One.
  • Graphics: Reworked Rendering.CommandBuffer internals to reduce main thread cost.
  • Graphics: Texture importer: Added support of BC5 format for normal map type in override option (for platforms that support it).
  • iOS: Added an API to retrieve existing build phases for Xcode targets.
  • iOS: Generate Notification and Spotlight icons for iOS targets. Additionally [also mentioned under API Changes] modified the functions PlayerSettings.GetIconsForTargetGroup, PlayerSettings.GetIconSizesForTargetGroup and PlayerSettings.SetIconsForTargetGroup to take an optional IconKind parameter to get/set specific kinds of icons.

  • Physics: Added edit modes for joint angular limits to inspectors for CharacterJoint, ConfigurableJoint, HingeJoint, and HingeJoint2D.
  • Physics: Collision2D.contacts array is now created lazily so as to not allocate memory until used.
  • Plugins: Added a rendering command buffer callback to update the contents of a texture from inside the plugin (D3D11/Metal/GLES).
  • Shaders: Improved compute shader import times and eliminated some shader compiler timeouts.
  • Shaders: Improved import time of surface shaders with many similar shader_feature/multi_compile variants.
  • UI: Introduced a shader keyword to all of the UI shaders, which controls the rect clipping. Rect clipping is only done when the mask component is enabled. This leads to much better UI performance when masks are not used.
  • VR: Updated Oculus to version 1.14
  • Web: UnityWebRequesst now has DownloadHandlerFile available for downloading files and saving them to disk with low memory footprint.
  • Windows: The crash dialog in the Windows Player has been improved with more detail, and prompts the user to open an Explorer window to the crash report.
  • Windows: The player executable has been split into two parts: a signed UnityPlayer.dll that has all the engine code, and a wrapper executable that merely calls into this DLL at startup. The source code for the executable can be found under EditorDataWindowsStandaloneSupportSourceWindowsPlayer. It can be rebuilt with VS2015 as long as you have "Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015" and "Windows XP Support for C++" installed.
  • XR: Updated interfaces and new data for GestureRecognizer and InteractionManager (UnityEngine.VR.WSA.Input). Some of the API surface for this has breaking changes on the way and will land soon.

  • IMGUI: GUI.SetNextControlName() now works for controls with any FocusType. Its previous (undocumented) behavior was to only work with controls that had FocusType.Keyboard. Previously, if you called it right before a passive control, the name would instead be applied to the next keyboard control.
  • iOS: [Also mentioned under Changes] Modified the functions PlayerSettings.GetIconsForTargetGroup, PlayerSettings.GetIconSizesForTargetGroup and PlayerSettings.SetIconsForTargetGroup to take an optional IconKind parameter to get/set specific kinds of icons. (894113)

  • Physics: Crash when reverting prefab which had Rigidbody and Joint deleted, and then undoing the revert. (870498)
  • VR: Rendering problems on Pixel Daydream when using 4x or 8x MSAA with single-pass stereo. This is due to driver issues, so the problem will be addressed via a driver update, independently of Unity releases. (-)
  • FEATURES:
  • 2D: Added Sprite Physics Shape to Sprite Editor, to allow users to set a custom default shape for a Sprite for generating collider shapes with a PolygonCollider2D.
  • 2D: Introduced 2D Sprite Atlas, a new asset that will supplant the Sprite Packer. With it comes new and improved workflows that gives the developer more control on how to pack sprites and use them at runtime.
  • 2D: Sprite Mask. Mask Sprites in world space using the new SpriteMask component.
  • Animation: (Also mentioned under API changes) AnimationLayerMixerPlayable scripting API added.
  • Animation: Manual Keyframing Workflow. Separate Recording and Preview modes in the Animation Window. Contextual menus added to all animatable properties in the inspector.
  • Animation: New GameObjectRecorder in UnityEditor.Experimental.Animations
  • Asset Import: Added the option of computing weighted normals when importing FBX files. Fixed normal generation for hard edges.
  • Audio: Added support for ambisonic audio clips and ambisonic decoder plugins.
  • Build Pipeline: Added delegates to BuildPlayerWindow that allow overriding the default Build button behavior
  • Collab: In-Progress. In-Progress allows developers using Unity Collaborate to see who else on their team has made local changes to a Scene or Prefab before those changes have been published.
  • Editor: Added new ArcHandle class in UnityEditor.IMGUI.Controls to interactively edit arcs in the Scene View.
  • GI: Added new API for setting Light falloff per Light. Added API for setting all Lights to use physically correct inverse squared falloff or the Unity legacy falloff model. Only used for Enlighten lightmaps so far, realtime and progressive will be supported later.
  • Graphics: Added LineUtility class and 'LineRenderer.Simply' function. Optimize your lines and curves by using the LineUtility to create a simplified version with a similar shape.
  • Graphics: Added memoryless mode to RenderTexture, accessed through new property RenderTexture.memorylessMode.

  • Playables: Playable Assets added to Playable API.
  • Playables: Playable Director added to play Playable Assets
  • Windows: Multi-display support for UWP.
  • Shaders: Added support for "inline" sampler states:
  • HLSL SamplerState objects that aren't taking sampling state from any texture (like what "sampler"+TextureName samplers do), but where sampling state is instead derived from the name.
  • For example, "MyLinearClampSampler" sets up bilinear filtering and clamp wrap mode; while "point_repeat_sampler" sets up point filtering and repeat wrap mode.
  • This allows e.g. doing both PCF depth comparison and reading raw depth value from a shadow map in a single shader.
  • Note that generally only modern graphics APIs support separate textures & samplers. You might therefore want to specify #pragma target 3.5 or similar in your shaders for this.
  • Implemented on DX11, DX12, PS4, XB1, Metal (Vulkan not yet).
  • CHANGES:
  • Asset Import: Upgraded FBX SDK to 2016.1.2
  • Build Pipeline: Added new function SwitchActiveBuildTargetAsync. This defers switching so that scripts can be imported first.
  • Build Pipeline: Event EditorBuildSettings.activeBuildTargetChanged has been deprecated as events do not survive script reloading. Replaced with interface class IActiveBuildTargetChanged and attribute ActiveBuildTargetChanged.
  • Editor: Added new GameObject sub menu - 'GameObject/Effects/. This menu includes a Line andTrail creation. The particle system has also been moved to this menu.
  • Editor: Added requirement for Visual C++ Runtime 2013 and 2015 to be installed when installing Windows Editor (i.e. the check is performed by Windows Editor installer).
  • Editor: AssetServer version control support has been removed from the editor.
  • Editor: Moved particle system rigidbody info message to top of the system as it does not just apply to inherit velocity
  • Editor: New projects now default to text-based serialization
  • Editor: Particle trail material slot is now always visible even if it is not used.
  • OSX: Disabled Metal on macOS 10.12.2 and 10.12.3 for stability reasons if GLCore is also present in API list
  • Windows Store: DX11 feature level 9.3 GPU support is required now. In practice this probably does not affect anything, as all Windows Phones that ever existed support 9.3 level already.
  • IMPROVEMENTS:
  • Android: Apk files are now signed using the new APK Signature Scheme v2.
  • Asset Import: Changing tabs in the Model Importer inspector does not force users to apply changes anymore
  • Asset Import: Support Segment Scale Compensate for models exported from Maya.
  • Asset Pipeline: In batchmode the FailedAssetImports.txt file is now ignored because there's no way to cancel or notify the user when the asset importer fails.
  • Build Pipeline: Scripts-only build is now available on all platforms.
  • Build Pipeline: Unified assembly stripping code used for IL2CPP and Mono builds - which should result in more consistent behaviour between IL2CPP and Mono and in smaller build sizes for platforms supporting assembly stripping on Mono.
  • Editor: Added "Called From" and "Calls To" view to the Hiverarchy View of Profiler Window.
  • Editor: Added a pre-drop style to particle system Object fields so it highlights if something can be dropped.

  • Graphics: Added new default material for trails. 'Default-Trail'
  • Graphics: Frame Debugger is now capable of showing array shader properties.
  • Graphics: Optimized conversions between float32 and float16 image formats on Editor for a x2 to x4 performance improvement.
  • Graphics: Texture wrapping modes can be set separately on each U,V,W axis.
  • Graphics: The default names for Graphics Quality Levels have been changed to be a little clearer, and more in line with what is common across other games. This will only affect newly created projects; existing projects will have the same Quality Level names as before (though, as always, you can edit the names via Edit -> Project Settings -> Quality).
  • IL2CPP: Improved IL2CPP code conversion time on OSX. Conversion times may improve by as much as 2x.
  • iOS: Added support for Watch apps and Watch app extensions in the Xcode extension API.
  • Mobile: Added TouchScreenKeyboardType.Social and TouchScreenKeyboardType.Search for iOS/tvOS, Android, WindowsPhone and Tizen platforms.
  • OSX: Added support for loading the first scene asynchronously when showing the splash screen.
  • OSX: Metal: [MTLDevice recommendedMaxWorkingSetSize] is now used to query VRAM size when available.

New in Unity 5.6.0 Beta 4 (Jan 18, 2017)

  • System Requirement Changes:
  • Android minimum version supported updated to 4.1 (JellyBean).
  • Known Issues:
  • 2D: 2D sprite cannot be dragged to the scene view if project is created in 3D. (863887)
  • Animation: Problems with Animator in 5.6.0b3 after upgrading project from 5.5.0p3 (864062)

  • iOS: Rendering orientation is incorrect if orientation is overridden in Start() in your project’s first scene.
  • Particles: Crash when a particle system is sub-emitter of more than one other particle system. (857065)
  • Particles: Particle system glitch with some mesh types. (863967)
  • Scripting: API Updater Internal error "Recursion detected while updating scripts (assembly index: 4)" is thrown when updating scripts. Note that this occurs when importing some 5.4 projects directly into 5.6 beta. One workaround is to do an intermediate import/save into 5.5. (863941)
  • Scripting: API Updater start is delayed when a project is imported from Asset Store and user is forced to update APIs manually. (816066)
  • VR: [Daydream] iOS is not supported with the current native integration but will be available in an upcoming beta release.
  • VR: [Daydream] There is a memory leak when you exit and re-enter VR mode. This leak is on the native Google VR code and Google is actively working on fixing this. (859281)
  • VR: [Daydream] There is no native controller integration yet. For controller use please use the Unity SDK provided by Google.
  • VR: [Daydream] You may notice that your Daydream VR display may be dimmer than other VR devices. This is by design as a means of prolonging battery life while in VR.
  • Features:
  • Particles: Added new Shape Module controls to support non-randomized particle emission.
  • Particles: Redesigned Burst Emission to support 8 bursts, and added burst repeat parameters.
  • Improvements:
  • Graphics: Frame Debugger now shows the reason why a draw call can't be batched with the previous one.
  • Graphics: GPU Instancing: a new workflow is implemented. In short, you can now simply check the "Enable Instancing" checkbox on most of the Materials, including those using Standard shaders.
  • "#pragma multi_compile_instancing" line now is no longer needed in surface shaders. Instancing variants are automatically generated for surface shaders, unless you explicitly specify "noinstancing" in "#pragma surface" line.
  • Standard and StandardSpecular also have "#pragma multi_compile_instancing" built-in.
  • A new checkbox "Enable Instancing" is added to the Material inspector and it must be checked if you want objects rendered with this material to be instanced.
  • SpeedTree assets now prints an error prompting you to regenerate the materials for enabling this checkbox.
  • Please note that all existing projects that utilize instancing need to enable this checkbox if the material is intended to be used for instancing, including those for DrawMeshInstanced.
  • When building to players, instancing variants of a shader are stripped away if no material using this shader enables instancing. You can have a global stripping control in Graphics settings.
  • Graphics : "-gpu" command line argument is now supported in the Windows Store player
  • OSX: OSX: Add support for retrieving GPU memory size on Metal
  • Shaders: Optimized in-editor experience for shaders with potentially massive variant counts (order of "millions"). Importing and first-time compiling them is much faster now.
  • Terrain: A warning box will be shown if you try to assign a texture that is not imported as normal map to the normal map slot of the terrain material.
  • Windows Store: C++ source code plugins can now be included directly from generated Visual Studio solution as the directory they are in is included to include directories and the DLL they get compiled in now gets linked to the final game executable on il2cpp scripting backend
  • Windows Store: Significantly the time postprocessing player step takes when building project on IL2CPP scripting backend
  • Windows Store: Unity now uses prebuilt MapFileParser when building generated C++ code on IL2CPP scripting backend, rather than building it on your machine on the fly
  • API Changes:
  • Editor: Added IDisposable Handles.DrawingScope struct for cleaner pushing/popping of Handles.matrix and Handles.color

New in Unity 5.6.0 Beta 3 (Dec 24, 2016)

  • System Requirement Changes:
  • Android minimum version supported updated to 4.1 (JellyBean).
  • Known Issues:
  • 2D: 2D sprite cannot be dragged to the scene view if project is created in 3D. (863887)
  • Animation: Problems with Animator in 5.6.0b3 after upgrading project from 5.5.0p3 (864062)
  • Animation: [Animation window] Playback head is not moved when key is selected (864048)

  • Particles: Crash when a particle system is sub-emitter of more than one other particle system. (857065)
  • Particles: Particle system glitch with some mesh types. (863967)
  • Scripting: API Updater Internal error "Recursion detected while updating scripts (assembly index: 4)" is thrown when updating scripts. Note that this occurs when importing some 5.4 projects directly into 5.6 beta. One workaround is to do an intermediate import/save into 5.5. (863941)
  • Scripting: API Updater start is delayed when a project is imported from Asset Store and user is forced to update APIs manually. (863995)
  • VR: [Daydream] Deadlock issue when quitting an app, where the app may still execute for up to 3s after it goes away. (861469)
  • VR: [Daydream] iOS is not supported with the current native integration but will be available in an upcoming beta release.
  • VR: [Daydream] There is a memory leak when you exit and re-enter VR mode. This leak is on the native Google VR code and Google is actively working on fixing this. (859281)
  • VR: [Daydream] There is a tiling bug in the Pixel Snapdragon GPU driver that appears when post-processing effects are used. Unlike 5.4, 5.6 currently runs post processing image effects all the time, so the tiling issue will be more noticeable. This will be fixed in a future driver update that Google will ship as an OTA update for affected devices.
  • VR: [Daydream] There is no native controller integration yet. For controller use please use the Unity SDK provided by Google.
  • VR: [Daydream] You may notice that your Daydream VR display may be dimmer than other VR devices. This is by design as a means of prolonging battery life while in VR.
  • Features:
  • 2D: SpriteRenderer: added support for 9-slice Sprite rendering.
  • IL2CPP: Added support for Windows Runtime when targeting Windows Store and Xbox One players with .NET 4.6 API Compatibility Level (Check manual at Scripting -> Scripting Tools -> IL2CPP -> Windows Runtime for more information).

  • Warning messages are printed on detection of uses of UNITY_MATRIX_MVP and UNITY_MATRIX_MV.
  • In order to use these matrices, use UNITY_MATRIX_MVP and friends instead (as you should be doing already).
  • But note! - for better performance, always prefer UnityObjectToClipPos and UnityObjectToViewPos if you are transforming vertices into clip space and view space respectively.
  • Since now we have unified the transforming path, #pragma force_concat_matrices is obsolete.
  • Our tests show an improvement in CPU performance and a degradation in GPU performance. The difference, however, is only noticeable when vertex load is very high.
  • Improvements:
  • Android: Moved Android splash image to a Java implementation so that it is displayed quicker during engine loading.
  • Graphics: Frame Debugger improvements:
  • Ctrl+Click on texture properties pops up a larger preview, just like the Standard shader UI does. This is also useful for viewing cubemap textures.
  • ComputeShader dispatches now shows the compute shader, kernel and dispatch size used.
  • The Shader properties tab is now the default one (instead of mesh preview).
  • The Shader properties view now shows the ComputeBuffer properties that are used.

New in Unity 5.5.0 Beta 1 (Aug 30, 2016)

  • FEATURES:
  • Editor: New selection highlighting in scene view.
  • Instead of showing a wireframe a selection outline is now shown. This outline color can be configured in the preferences of Unity. In the gizmo / annotation window you can select if you would like this behavour, the old behaviour, or both.
  • Editor: Option to run Cache Server locally for quick platform switching
  • Physics: New CapsuleCollider2D
  • SceneManager: Editor SceneSet asset.
  • When creating a SceneSet asset in the editor it will save the current list of open scenes so that this set of scenes can be easily restored.
  • Scripting: Built-in support for opening scripts in Visual Studio Code as an external script editor on OSX and Windows. Unity will now detect when Visual Studio Code is selected an external script editor and pass the correct arguments to it when opening scripts from Unity and setup a default .vscode/settings.json with file excludes, if it does not already exist.
  • Shaders: Per-rendertarget blend modes. New shader syntax: "Blend N Src Dst", "BlendOp N Op", "ColorMask Mask N", where N is the render target index (0..7). This feature works on DX11/12, GLCore, Metal, PS4.
  • Particles: New Modules:
  • Lights Module, for adding realtime lights to particles
  • Noise Module, for adding Curl Noise to Particle Movement
  • Trails Module, for rendering ribbonized trails behind particles
  • BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY BREAKING CHANGES:
  • DX9: DX9 half-pixel offset adjustments are now done at shader compilation time. This means that shaders no longer need to do any UNITY_HALF_TEXEL_OFFSET checks, and any possible C# code for coordinate adjustment no longer needs to happen on DX9. However, vertex shader constant register #255 (c255) is reserved by Unity now, and all vertex shaders get two instructions automatically added to do the adjustment.
  • JSONUtility: EditorJsonUtility now serializes object references by assetGUID/fileID rather than InstanceID, making the serialized data stable across Editor sessions
  • OpenGL: Legacy desktop OpenGL2 support was removed. It was already not the default in 5.3, and deprecated in 5.4. This only affects Mac & Linux.
  • WebGL: WebGL no longer supports loading LZMA compressed AssetBundles, as that is very inefficient - it's use was alway discouraged, but is now disabled
  • CHANGES:
  • Android: IL2CPP - Use Android NDK x64 on x64 Windows Editor

  • Core: Changed the obsoleteness warning message of Undo.RegisterUndo to suggest the correct replacement.
  • Editor: Added support for resizing the height of the preferences window
  • Editor: Removed fading/lerping behaviour when dragging/docking views because it was ugly at best, and sometimes visually confusing.
  • Graphics: Add a fatal error if the player is force-run with a renderer that it wasn't built for from the editor.
  • Graphics: Removed logic that tried to downscale shadow resolution based on a guess on how much free VRAM was available at the time.
  • Graphics: Warnings are shown when a renderer that statically batched is going to be rendered instanced.
  • Physics: Expose Physics.queriesHitBackfaces. Off by default, so all physics queries would NOT detect hits with backface triangles. Previously, some queries would detect, and some wouldn't, which was inconsistent.
  • Physics: The breakForce reported by the OnJointBreak callback will now be the original breakForce, regardless of the Joint was disabled and re-enabled during the callback cycle
  • Physics: The Physics system will now reject meshes containing non-finite vertices
  • Samsung TV: Support for 2013 and 2014 TVs has been dropped. Deploying to these two years of TV will no longer work.
  • Shadows: Unity does not reduce shadowMap size automaticaly from VRAM anymore.
  • WebGL: Will now write asm.js code in separate file for normal js, which allows for better memory optimizations in Firefox
  • IMPROVEMENTS:
  • Android: IL2CPP - Full debug version of IL2CPP libraries are stored in Temp/StagingArea/Il2Cpp/Native
  • Android: IL2CPP - Stripping of symbols and debug info is now enabled by default. Development builds still has symbols which makes for a slightly larger binary
  • Android: SoftInput - Get rid of hardcoded text color, switch to Light theme
  • Android: Symbols for release libraries are now available in PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/Variantions/*/Release/Symbols
  • Animation: Added a new default ClipAnimationMaskType to the animation importer: None. This value should be used when you do not need a mask
  • Animation: In the Clip Importer, AvatarMask will be now set to None by default when importing new FBX files
  • Build Pipeline: Optimized the build pipeline so that asset bundles that contain scene files don't have to recompile the scripts every time. This results in a much quicker build process.
  • Cache Server: Upgraded the node.js version used by the Cache Server to version 0.12.7
  • DX9: Fixed various half-pixel offset issues when using Direct3D 9. Now rendering matches other platforms (DX11, OpenGL etc.) exactly.
  • Editor: Add Unity version to main editor window title bar (makes it easy to see which Unity version you currently have open)
  • Editor: Added 'Discard changes' in scene context menu in the Hierarchy: Reloads selected modified scenes from disk
  • Editor: Area lights now indicate their effective range in the inspector.
  • Editor: EditorGUIUtility.ObjectContent now adds type information to the text string as shown for ObjectFields: E.g: "Concrete (Texture2D)" instead "Concrete".
  • Editor: In SceneView, hide wireframe on objects with the hideInHierarchy flag (previously it would show when the object's parent was selected).
  • Editor: It is now possible to dock views to the tops of windows and other views. Previously only left, right and bottom were possible.
  • Editor: Undo support for Sorting Layers
  • GI: Pass custom properties when rendering GI meta pass.
  • Graphics: Added RenderTexture.GenerateMips script API for manual control over mipmap generation. Reanmed existing RenderTexture.generateMips property to autoGenerateMips.

  • iOS/tvOS: Significantly reduce the size of shipped static libraries
  • iOS/tvOS: Use relative symlinks for plugins when building to related folder
  • JSONUtility: EditorJsonUtility now allows any object type to be passed in for serialization, not just UnityEngine.Object types, so that vanilla C# types can take advantage of the object reference serialization behaviour.
  • JsonUtility: JsonUtility.ToJson is now faster and uses less temporary memory.
  • OSX/iOS Metal: Add -force-metal switch to force Metal rendering on OSX/iOS
  • Particles: Added 'Show Bounds' to Particle System UI. Shows the world and local AABB for the system.
  • Particles: Added new option to rotate particles to face their initial direction of travel
  • Particles: Added new render mode to make particle billboards face the eye position (good for VR)

  • Particles: Gravity Modifier can now be a curve over time
  • Particles: Support for sending custom data to Particle System Vertex Shaders
  • Physics: Added more performance metrics to the physics profiler view
  • Physics: All effector inspector editors now use animated roll-outs to group properties.

  • Physics: Update from PhysX 3.3.1 to PhysX 3.3.3
  • Player: Allow asset bundles to work with engine code stripping. A custom player build can understand which asset bundles will be loaded by the player at run time and determine which parts of the engine code those asset bundles need to preserve. See BuildPipeline.BuildPlayer method change.
  • Plugins: You can exclude specific platforms when "Any Platform" is selected, this allows you to set compatibilities as "Plugin is compatible on any platform except this specific platform". Added additional API to PluginImporter.
  • SamsungTV: Support for deploying to multiple TVs at once by separating TV IPs with a forward slash.
  • Scripting: Editor on OSX will no longer start BugReporter with mono NULL exception if -batchmode
  • Scripting: Improve performance System.IO.StringReader.ReadLine
  • Scripting: Upgrade C# compiler to Mono 4.4. The new compiler still targets C# 4 and .Net 3.5, but provides better performance and many bug fixes.
  • Serialization: Serialization depth limit warning now prints the serialization hierarchy that triggered the warning
  • Shaders: Improved memory usage for large shaders compiled for multiple APIs. Only the active API's data will be decompressed in the player.
  • Shaders: Improved usability of "Show compiled code" for shaders. Now compiled shader variants are grouped together in a more useful way.
  • Shaders: Increased amount of allowed shader keywords to 256 (up from 128). Optimized related parts of the code, so it's often actually faster now.
  • Shaders: Material UI displays render queue setting. Previously this was a script-only setting on the material.
  • Shaders: Renamed variables and cleaned code in UnityStandardBRDF.cginc
  • Shaders: Shaders are now exported to player completely in binary - no shader text string and parsing in the runtime.
  • Version Control: Major improvements in memory and cpu usage
  • Visual Studio: Add cancel button to "Opening Visual Studio" progress dialog
  • VisualStudio: Stop using COM to launch VisualStudio for a better immediate feedback experience

  • Windows Standalone: Application can now correctly run in low integrity mode. (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625960.aspx)
  • Windows Store: Added a concept of "target device type", which allows you to target only one family of devices, e.g. PC, mobile or HoloLens, enabling better resource optimization for a particular device type. See documentation of EditorUserBuildSettings.wsaSubtarget for more information.
  • Windows Store: Added "Copy References" option in build settings window, this will allow for generated solution to reference Unity files from Unity installation folder instead of copying them to exported folder, this can save up to 10 GB of disk space, the downside is, you can't copy exported folder to other PC, because there will be a dependency towards Unity's installation folder.
  • Windows Store: Expand UnityEngine.WSA.Cursor.SetCustomCursor, if you pass 0 to this function, it will restore the cursor to arror icon
  • Windows Store: New implementation for TouchScreenKeyboard on UWP, now supports both XAML and D3D apps as well as IME input. Older implementation can be turned on by passing command line argument -forceTextBoxBasedKeyboard.
  • Windows Store: New option for input handling in XAML-based applications: receive poinater input from SwapChainPanel (alternative to independent input source)
  • Windows Store: Windows Store platform will not show in build settings window if Editor is ran not on Windows
  • Graphics: GPU Instancing: Implemented SpeedTree instancing:
  • Still light probes are not allowed.
  • Graphics: Improved LODGroup component UI:
  • Now the sliding Camera icon is aware of the global LOD bias value and works acoordingly.
  • The "Recalculate Bounds" button now only gets enabled when clicking it has a change.
  • Graphics: Textures can now be imported to two new formats:
  • BC6H for high quality compressed RGB HDR textures
  • BC7 for high quality compressed RGB(A) textures Those formats are currently only available on desktop (DX11+, GLCore), PS4 and Xbox One platforms.
  • On those platforms, HDR textures will now default to FP16 for uncompressed texture and BC6H for compressed textures.
  • Reflection probes behave the same way (uncompressed => FP16, compressed => BC6H)
  • BC7 will be chosen automatically by the texture importer for texture setup as "High Quality Compressed" on supported platforms (see texture importer refactoring)
  • Note: DX9 and MacGL do not support those formats. If a texture is set as BC6H it will be automatically uncompressed to FP16 and BC7 will be uncompressed to RGBA8
  • Graphics: Added support for importing textures as RGBAHalf (16 bits float per component):
  • Added 'HDR' texture format for automatic HDR format choice (RGBAHalf for Desktop/PS4/XBoxOne and the usual RGBM, dLDR depending on the platform)
  • Reflection probes now default to this new HDR format
  • API CHANGES:
  • AI: NavMesh related types are moved from namespaces UnityEngine and UnityEditor to UnityEngine.AI and UnityEditor.AI
  • Application: Add Application.Unload to unload Unity from memory without exiting the application.

  • Debugging via #pragma enable_d3d11_debug_symbols, just like for regular shaders.
  • Shaders: Uniform array support:
  • Uniform arrays can be set by new array APIs on MaterialPropertyBlock, Shader and Material.
  • Supports array sizes up to 1023.
  • The old way of setting array elements by using number-suffixed names is removed.
  • Particles: New Trigger Module, including:
  • A script callback when particles touch a predefined list of collision shapes.
  • Ability to modify/kill particles that are intersecting the collision shapes.
  • Editor UI: description Example: description
  • VR: Multi-device support:
  • PlayerSettings: When the Virtual Reality Supported checkbox is checked, a prioritized list is shown allowing devs to choose which VR SDKs their game supports. (Similar to the Graphics API selection dialog)
  • VR SDK list is per build-target.
  • Dependencies (such as DLLs) will be copied to the build for every SDK in the list.
  • At startup, Unity will go down the list and try to initialize each device. If any fail to initialize (for example, if the headset is not connected), Unity will move on to the next. If all fail, Unity won’t enter VR mode.
  • PlayerSettings: Deprecated PlayerSettings stereoscopic 3D checkbox. This goes through the same subsystem as the VR devices, so a non-headmounted stereoscopic driver is one of the possible devices on supporting platforms.
  • API: Deprecated VRDeviceType enum and VRSettings.loadedDevice. This is replaced with VRSettings.loadedDeviceName and VRSettings.LoadDeviceByName().
  • API: Added the ability to get a list of supported SDKs. Readonly: string[] VRSettings.supportedDevices.
  • VR: Native OpenVR support:
  • Note that native OpenVR support renders with an off-center asymmetric projection matrix. This means that any shaders which relied on fov / aspect may not work correctly.
  • VR: Optimized Single-Pass Stereo Rendering:
  • Instead of rendering each eye separately, this uses a wider render target and alternating draw calls to render both eyes with a single scene traversal.
  • Option in Player Settings.
  • Note that some image effects or screenspace shaders might need to be updated to work with it. description
  • GI: Light Probe Proxy Volumes:
  • This component allows using more than one light probe sample for large dynamic objects (think large particle systems or important characters). It will sample probes into a 3D texture and use that in the shader.
  • Requires shader model 4+ platform (DX11/DX12 on Windows, GLCore 4.1+ on Mac/Linux, PS4, XboxOne). description
  • Graphics: GPU Instancing Support:
  • Use GPU instancing to draw a large amount of identical geometries with very few draw calls.
  • Works with MeshRenderers that use the same material and the same mesh.
  • Only needs a few changes to your shader to enable it for instancing. Supports custom vertex/fragment shader and surface shaders.
  • Set per-instance shader properties from script via MaterialPropertyBlock.
  • Supports Graphics.DrawMesh command.
  • Requires shader model 4+ platform (DX11/DX12 on Windows, GLCore 4.1+ on Mac/Linux, PS4, XboxOne). description
  • Graphics: Improved multithreaded rendering:
  • Compared to current dual-thread rendering (main thread + rendering thread), this splits up rendering logic into concurrent "graphics jobs" that run on all available CPU cores.
  • See "Graphics Jobs" option in player settings (off by default, still considered experimental).
  • Currently implemented on PC (Win/Mac/Linux/WindowsStore), PS4, XboxOne. Best results with modern graphics APIs like DX12.
  • In addition to multithreaded rendering, overall CPU graphics performance should be better in 5.4. description
  • Graphics: Motion vector rendering support:
  • Motion vectors track the screen space position of an object from one frame to the next, and can be used for post process effects.
  • See the API docs for Renderer.motionVectors, Camera.depthTextureMode, SkinnedMeshRenderer.skinnedMotionVectors, PassType.MotionVectors, and DepthTextureMode.MotionVector.
  • Requires RGHalf render texture format support.
  • Utilized in the current beta of Unity Cinematic Image Effects descriptiondescription
  • See Keijiro Takahashi's example of vector field visualization KinoVision
  • description
  • Graphics: Texture Array support:
  • SeeTexture2DArray class.
  • Requires shader model 3.5+ platform (DX11/DX12 on Windows, GLCore Mac/Linux, GLES3+, Metal, PS4, XboxOne).
  • Here they are used in the Adam demo for terrain shading: description

  • A 'useCloudCatalog' boolean has been added to UnityEngine.Purchasing.ConfigurationBuilder. When set, Unity IAP will fetch your catalog of products for sale from the Unity cloud. Catalog is configured via the Unity Analytics dashboard.
  • BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY BREAKING CHANGES:
  • Android: WebCam no longer works on Gingerbread devices.
  • DX12: Introduced new native plugin interface IUnityGraphicsD3D12v2 . The old interface will not function anymore due to differences in internal graphics job submission.
  • Editor: Deprecated UnityEditor.ShaderUtil.ShaderPropertyTexDim; users should now use Texture.dimension.
  • GI: Deprecated Light.actuallyLightmapped; users should now use Light.isBaked and Light.bakedIndex instead. Baked Light now has unique index, instead of the flag "actuallyLightmapped"
  • Graphics: Deprecated Material(String) constructor further. This will now always create a material with the error shader and print an error, in both Editor and player. It will be completely removed in a future Unity version.
  • Physics: Made changes to avoid Physics transform drift by not sending redundant Transform updates.
  • Physics: Physics Meshes are now rejected if they contain invalid (non-finite) vertices.
  • Playables: Refactored API so that Playables are structs instead of classes, making the API allocation-less in C#.
  • Scripting: Added two new script errors in the editor for catching calls to the Unity API during serialization. See "Scripting Serialization" page in the manual for more details.
  • Scripting: Promoted WebRequest interface from UnityEngine.Experimental.Networking to UnityEngine.Networking. Unity 5.2 and 5.3 projects that use UnityWebRequest will need to be updated.
  • Shaders: Changed default shader compilation target to "#pragma target 2.5" (SM3.0 on DX9, DX11 9.3 feature level on WinPhone). Can still target DX9 SM2.0 and DX11 9.1 feature level with "#pragma target 2.0". The majority of built-in shaders target now 2.5. Notable exceptions are Unlit, VertexLit and fixed function shaders.

New in Unity 5.3.6f1 (Jul 21, 2016)

  • Improvements:
  • Android: Symbols for release libraries are now available in PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/Variantions/*/Release/Symbols.
  • Audio: Added ability to transition AudioMixer snapshots by scaled and unscaled time.
  • Audio: Added virtualization of audio effects. For audio sources that are virtual because they have been culled due to low audibility or priority, attached effect components or spatializers are now also bypassed in order to save CPU use. The new behaviour is on by default, but can be turned off in the audio project settings.
  • Audio: Audio clip waveform preview now displays the actual format used for compression when the default format isn’t available on a certain platform.
  • Audio: Audio clips with the "Streaming" load type are no longer preloaded. This is done to reduce the number of open file handles in scenes referencing a large number of streamed clips. The behaviour is not affected except for a slight increase in playback delay of this type of audio clips.
  • Audio: Fixed audio clip waveform preview rendering sync issues after import, and improved the way the waveforms are being rendered to be more dynamic and reveal more detail.
  • Audio: Moved Preload Audio Data to the platform-specific settings section. The previous location was confusing as it was shown grayed-out in the inspector with a checkmark that depended on all overrides.
  • Audio: SystemInfo now includes supportsAudio info.
  • GI: Added a version number to the Lighting Data asset. Give the user a nice error message if their Lighting Data is out of date.

  • Runtime: During crashes even if the stack walking is aborted with error (RtlLookupFunctionEntry returned NULL function. Aborting stack walk), Unity will display stripped stack trace instead of displaying zero stack frames.
  • Shaders: Removed an outdated comment in UnityStandardCore.cginc
  • VR: Updated to Oculus Version 1.5.
  • VR: Updated to version 1.4 of the Oculus API.

New in Unity 5.4.0b3 Beta (Jan 25, 2016)

  • FEATURES:
  • Kernel: The transform component has been rewritten using SIMD and a cache friendly data layout, the code is simpler and faster. As a result Transform.Setparent for large hieararchies can also be more expensive since all data for one hiearchy will always be tightly packed together.
  • Particles: Define particle width and height separately
  • VR: VR Multi Device Support:
  • PlayerSettings: When the Virtual Reality Supported checkbox is checked, a prioritized list is shown allowing devs to choose which VR SDKs their game supports. (Similar to the Graphics API selection dialog)
  • VR SDK list is per build-target.
  • Dependencies (dlls, etc) will be copied to the build for every sdk in the list.
  • At startup, we’ll go down the list and try to initialize each device. If any fail to initialize (headset not connected, etc), we’ll move on to the next. If all fail, we won’t enter VR mode.
  • PlayerSettings: Deprecate PlayerSettings’ stereoscopic 3d checkbox. This goes through the same subsystem as the VR devices, so a non-headmounted stereoscopic driver is one of the possible devices on supporting platforms.
  • VR API: Deprecate VRDeviceType enum and VRSettings.loadedDevice. This is replaced with VRSettings.loadedDeviceName and VRSettings.LoadDeviceByName().

New in Unity 5.4.0b1 Beta (Dec 23, 2015)

  • Feature:
  • 2D: 9-Slice sprites.
  • GI: occlusion of the strongest mixed mode light is stored per light probe.
  • Gl: Light Probe Proxy Volumes. This component allows using more than one light probe sample for large dynamic objects (think large particle systems or important characters). This will sample probes into a 3D texture and use that in the shader. Requires shader model 4 (DX11+/PS4/XB1/GLCore).
  • Graphics: Basic GPU Instancing Support.
  • Use GPU instancing to draw a large amount of identical geometries with very few draw calls.
  • Works with MeshRenderers that use the same material and the same mesh.
  • Only needs a few changes to your shader to enable it for instancing.
  • Set per-instance shader properties from script via MaterialPropertyBlock.
  • Supported on Windows DX11/DX12 with SM 4.0 and up. Other platforms will be supported later.
  • Graphics: Fast texture copies via Graphics.CopyTexture.
  • Graphics: Texture Array support, see Texture2DArray class.
  • IAP: Cloud catalog support. “useCloudCatalog” flag has been added to UnityEngine.Purchasing.ConfigurationBuilder. When set, Unity IAP will fetch your catalog of products for sale from the Unity cloud. Catalog is configured via the Unity Analytics dashboard.
  • OS X Editor: Retina support (text and some icons only).
  • Physics: Overlap recovery, used to depenetrate CharacterControllers from static objects when an overlap is detected. When activated, the CharacterController module will automatically try to resolve the penetration, and move the CharacterController to a safe place where it does not overlap other objects anymore.
  • Shader uniform array support. Uniform arrays can be set by new array APIs on MaterialPropertyBlock. Maximum array size is 1023. The old way of setting array elements by using number-suffixed names is deprecated.
  • Substance: ProceduralMaterials are now supported at runtime on Windows Store/Phone platforms.
  • Graphics: Support importing models with more than 100,000 objects.
  • Windows Store: Realtime global illumination now works when using Windows 10 SDK.
  • Windows Store: UnityWebRequest is now supported for all SDKs.
  • Change:
  • Android: Assets - Disable texture streaming for Android
  • Android: Removed native activity implementation. An activity with the same name based on a regular Activity is still in place for backwards compatibility reasons.
  • Android: UnityPlayerNativeActivity and UnityPlayerProxyActivity has been deprecated and will print warnings to the logcat if in use.
  • Android: WebCam no longer works on Gingerbread devices
  • Audio: Streamed audio clips are no longer preloaded. This is done to reduce the number of open file handles in scenes referencing a large number of streamed clips. Except for a slight increase in playback latency the behaviour is not affected.
  • Audio: Updated FMOD to 4.44.56
  • DX12: Disabled client/worker mode as a preparation step for pure threading (-force-gfx-mt now does nothing for DX12).
  • DX12: Enabled GPU profiler in single-threaded mode (-force-gfx-direct).
  • DX12: Introduced a new native plugin interface - IUnityGraphicsD3D12v2 . The old interface will not function anymore due to differences in internal graphics job submission.
  • Editor will warn opening a project from any version not matching the projects matching last version string saved in information. This means even 5.4.0b1 to 5.4.0b2, or 5.4.0f3 to 5.4.0p1
  • Editor: Deprecated UnityEditor.ShaderUtil.ShaderPropertyTexDim; use Texture.dimension.
  • Shaders: Further deprecated Material(String) constructor - this will now always create a material with the error shader and print an error, in editor and player. It will be completely removed in a future Unity version.
  • GI: Deprecated Light.actuallyLightmapped, use Light.isBaked and Light.bakedIndex instead. Baked Light got unique index, instead of the flag "actuallyLightmapped"
  • Physics: Fix for Character Controller Physics causing capsule to be thrown in the air when exiting another collider
  • Playable : refactored API so that Playables are struct instead of classes. Making the API allocation-less in c#.
  • Samsung TV: Added Ignore BG Alpha Clear checkbox to Resolution section of Samsung TV player settings. This will disable the clearing of the alpha value for the background fill allowing for blending between Unity's render layer and the layer behind.
  • Scripting: Added two new script errors in the editor for catching calls to the Unity API during serialization. See "Scripting Serialization" page in the manual for more details.
  • Shaders/Shadows: Internal shader for computing screenspace cascaded shadows was moved into Graphics Settings. If you were overriding it before by just dropping it into the project -- now need the custom one via Graphics Settings.
  • Shaders/Shadows: Removed support for EXT_shadow_samplers on non-iOS OpenGL ES 2.0 platform. Almost no devices outside of iOS have it, so there's no point in having larger shaders for that.
  • Terrain: New terrain objects created in the scene will be properly renamed instead of reusing the same default name.
  • Terrain: When different TerrainData are used for Terrain and TerrainCollider component on one GameObject, a warning message is shown and a button to fix the situation is provided.
  • To facilitate a memory optimization, UnityEngine.Object.GetInstanceID() is no longer thread safe.
  • UnityWebRequest: WebRequest interface was promoted from UnityEngine.Experimental.Networking to UnityEngine.Networking. Unity 5.2 and 5.3 projects that use UnityWebRequest will have to be updated.
  • Improvement:
  • 2D: Added tessellation detail control to SpriteEditor
  • Added new yield instruction: WaitForSecondsRealtime.
  • Android: Added template for ProGuard obfuscation on exported project
  • Android: Application name now supports non-alphanumeric characters and spaces
  • Android: Converted some fatal error messages to be presented on screen rather than printed to the logcat
  • Android: Enhanced robustness of Location input
  • APIUpdater: ScriptUpdater asks whether to automatically update once per project session (i.e, a different project gets open or unity is restarted)
  • Audio: Added virtualization of audio effects. For audio sources that are virtual because they have been culled due to low audibility or priority attached effect components or spatializers are now bypassed too in order to save CPU. The new behaviour is on by default but can be turned off in the audio project settings.
  • Audio: Audio clip waveform preview now displays the actual format used for compression when the default format isn’t available on a certain platform.
  • Audio: Fixed audio clip waveform preview rendering sync issues after import and improved the way the waveforms are being rendered to be more dynamic and reveal more detail.
  • Compute: Add DispatchIndirect function (similar to DrawProceduralIndirect - dispatching compute shader with parameters sourced from ComputeBuffer)
  • Compute: Improve error handling for compute shaders
  • Compute: Revamp API of hidden counters on ComputeBuffers to be more sane. Now optionally reset when bound, and can be explicitly set via SetCounterValue
  • Core: Add more profiling information to the PersistentManager
  • Core: Improved job execution. Spawn worker threads based on the number of logical processors instead of physical cores.
  • DX12: Introduced -force-d3d12-stablepowerstate command line parameter. Use it when profiling the GPU.
  • Editor: Added a warning if there are still managed threads running after exiting play-mode. The editor only stops all managed play-mode threads when entering play-mode and recompiling scripts.
  • Editor: Always show the scene headers in the Hierarchy (also when only having one scene) to prevent confusion when loading and unloading scenes in play mode (scene headers was popping in and out). Also it makes it possible to see what scene is loaded in OSX fullscreen mode.
  • Editor: In play mode the DontDestroyOnLoad scene will only be shown if it has game objects
  • GI: Added Lightmapping.realtimeGI and Lightmapping.bakedGI editor APIs
  • GI: Atlassing would generate atlases with wasted space when scaling down objects.
  • GI: Fixed a problem where we would always recompute Final Gather even if the result was in the cache.
  • GI: Improved mixing of realtime and baked shadows - removes shadow from the back-facing geometry, preserves bounce and contribution of other baked lights
  • GI: Store BakeEnlightenProbeSetJob results in hashed file to speed up rebaking of light probes.
  • GI: Upgraded to Enlighten 3.03
  • GI: Use HDR color picker for ambient color instead of color plus ambient intensity.
  • Graphics: Added mechanism to tweak some unity shader defines per-platform per-shader-hardware-tier. Currently it is exposed only to scripts: see UnityEditor.Rendering namespace, specifically UnityEditor.Rendering.PlatformShaderSettings for tweakable settings and UnityEditor.Rendering.EditorGraphicsSettings for methods to get/set shader settings. Please note, that if settings are different for some tiers, shader variants for ALL tiers will be compiled, but duplicates will be still stripped from final build.
  • Graphics: Added TextureDimension enum, and Texture.dimension property.
  • Graphics: Allow setting a slice of 3D/2DArray as a render target (Graphics.SetRenderTarget depthSlice argument).
  • Graphics: Optimized the search for BuiltinShaderParamsNames.
  • iOS: Add URL schemes player setting.

New in Unity 5.2.0f3 (Sep 8, 2015)

  • Changes:
  • Editor: Asset Store window is now a part of the default window layout. Docked behind the scene & game views
  • Editor: Remove legacy Mac OS X corner window resize behaviour
  • GI: Set default BounceScale to 1
  • Graphics: Material.CopyPropertiesFromMaterial also copies shader keywords and render queue now
  • IL2CPP: Make engine stripping in iOS/WebGL a separate setting (PlayerSettings.stripEngineCode) from Mono stripping levels
  • Introduce EditorSettings.projectGenerationUserExtensions & EditorSettings.projectGenerationBuiltinExtensions
  • Particles: Particle geometry is generated in world space now (used to be in view space before). If you have custom particle shaders that relied on view space positions coming in, you will need to change them
  • Reflection Probes: Are rendered in a separate deferred pass when using deferred shading. See Improvements section entry for details
  • Scripting: Removed hexadecimal color string support from Color and replaced with ColorUtility
  • Shaders: Can not create fixed function shaders using "new Material(string)" anymore. Shaders must come from assets or be fully precompiled in the editor
  • Shaders: Changed UnityGlobalIllumination, Unity_GlossyEnvironment, FragmentGI function signatures. If you have custom shaders that uses Unity's PBR please check UnityGlobalIllumination.cginc, UnityStandardBRDF.cginc, UnityStandardCore.cginc respectively
  • Substance: The communication between Unity's MainThread and the Substance Thread was completely rewritten to better decouple Substance processing from Unity's regular operations and to avoid stalling the MainThread. All crashes and hangs at build time, level load/change time, playmode entry/exit should be gone
  • Terrain: Changed the default hotkey bindings for terrain tools to F1-F6
  • UI: CanvasRenderer can now take multiple Materials. Like a MeshRenderer each material refers to a SubMesh of the configured Mesh
  • UI: CanvasRenderer now takes a Mesh instead of List this allows for the use of imported meshs as part of the UI
  • UI: UI.Text now accounts for trailing white spaces when performing horizontal alignment
  • WebGL: Make release builds always fully optimized
  • Windows Store Apps: AppCallbacks.LoadGfxNativePlugin has been deprecated. All plugins that are in the project and set to build for a given platform are now loaded automatically. The function still exists and does nothing, but it will be removed in a future Unity version
  • Improvements:
  • 2D Improvements:
  • Allow sprites to be dragged into scene view in 3d mode. Add temp GO while dragging for visual feedback similar to when dragging prefabs/model into scene view
  • Frame selected command (F) now works in the sprite editor window for the selected sprite rect
  • Implement undo functionality for sprite editor window's slice menu
  • New grid slicing method that uses column and row count
  • Pivot snapping on sprite frame rect in sprite editor window only happens when Ctrl is pressed while mouse dragging the pivot handle
  • Provide a custom pivot field in the slicing menu for the sprite editor window
  • Zooming on sprite editor window’s texture will zoom towards mouse cursor
  • Editor Improvements:
  • Added RunOpenPanelWithFilters API
  • Better error message when "The classes in the module cannot be loaded" is thrown
  • Improved Compute Shader inspector; now lists errors & warnings similar to regular shader inspector
  • Improved Export Package window (now uses a proper tree view)
  • Improved shader inspector performance when there are many errors shown
  • Make sure ObjectField and Object Selector shows icons for game objects and prefabs
  • More "create new shader" templates under assets create menu (PBS surface shader, unlit shader, image effect shader)
  • Selection.selectionChange callback triggered when selection changes
  • Show proper cubemap preview instead of icon in large preview ObjectField
  • When in 2D mode, the camera bounds for the main camera is always visible when it is in orthographic mode
  • Graphics, Lightmapping and Shader Improvements:
  • GI: Added progress bar for GI Cache -> Clean Cache progress status
  • GI: Allow ambient intensity higher than 1
  • GI: Size of the last lightmap is now reduced to pack the instances more tightly and not waste space
  • Graphics: Add SetUVs to Mesh API, it takes a UV channel, and a List of either Vector2, Vector3, or Vector4 as arguments
  • Graphics: Added a quality setting 'Shadow near plane offset' to allow working around shadow pancaking artifacts
  • Graphics: Added CommandBuffer.IssuePluginEvent to allow invoking native code plugin from a command buffer
  • Graphics: Added Cubemap.mipmapCount
  • Graphics: Implemented object naming for D3D11, so textures and meshes will pick up the correct name in external graphics debuggers (e.g. RenderDoc, NSight etc.)
  • Graphics: Memory saving for meshes with < 300 vertices if dynamic batching is off
  • Graphics: New GL.IssuePluginEvent override allows invoking a specific callback in a specific native plugin
  • Graphics: Windows Store Apps 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 now support MSAA
  • Image Effects: Added option to disable 'no fog on skybox pixels' behaviour in GlobalFog effect
  • OpenGL: Added -force-clamped argument that prevents use of all available extensions when used together with -force-glcoreXX or -force-glesXX
  • OpenGL: Added -force-gles editor and standalone player to automatically run with the best version of ES supported by the platform
  • Particles: Mesh particles now support the Texture Sheet Animation settings
  • Reflection Probes: when using Deferred Shading, the reflection probes are now rendered per-pixel (instead of each object only being affected by one or two probes)
  • Shaders: Added finalgbuffer and finalprepass modifiers. They work in the same way as finalcolor does, but are used by the deferred and prepass base paths respectively for altering what would be written into the gbuffer
  • Shaders: decal:add surface shaders now generate code for deferred and legacy deferred paths if finalgbuffer and finalprepass modifiers are specified
  • Shaders: Now #pragma skip_variants skips user variants as well
  • Shaders: Procedural Skybox shader now has selectable options for Sun Disk: None (fastest), Simple (should be close to the current sun disk), High Quality
  • Shaders: Make it possible to use UNITY_SAMPLE_SHADOW macros when SHADOWS_NATIVE keyword is not explicitly defined
  • Mecanim Improvements:
  • Added a "destructive action" prompt when deleting blend tree nodes, so that the behaviour is consistent between StateMachine and BlendTree graphs
  • Added AnimatorStateInfo.speed and AnimatorStateInfo.speedMultiplier
  • Added the possibility to create AnyState Transitions to the entry node of a state machine. In a sub state machine, this is essentially the same as creating an AnyState Transition to a sub state machine from the parent state machine. This also adds a straightforward way to add an AnyState Transition to the top-level state machine, which was previously only possible through roundabout methods
  • Added tracking of missing or invalid StateMachineBehaviours in the StateMachine and State inspectors. Missing or Invalid StateMachineBehaviours shouldn't disappear anymore from the inspector
  • Adding a child blend tree will use the default blend tree parameter, not the blend parameter of the parent
  • Alt-drag works in BlendTree graph view now
  • BlendTree API publishes useAutomaticThresholds
  • Can create new clip from selected clip/take in Animation importer
  • Creating a blend tree in a controller with no float parameter will now automatically add a new float parameter named Blend
  • Expose Animator.IsInitialized in scripting API
  • Fixing empty State Machine Behaviour after compilation error
  • Import humanoid animation warnings have been cleaned and improved. A “Warning” summary box has been added at the top of Animation Inspector to prevent warnings to be left unnoticed. Warnings are reported per take when animation file contains multiple takes. Warnings have been added when in-between humanoid bones rotation differs in Source Avatar and Animation. Text has been reformatted so that is easier to consult the warning report
  • Improved default IK Hint for legs. Default IK Hint for knee now points towards foot direction. It gives a more natural IK solving for leg when IK correction needed gets bigger
  • Improved display of transition previewer
  • Improved Humanoid animation jitters (Humanoid Oversampling). For some animations, usually those with fast motion, the Humanoid interpolation may differ from original Euler rotation interpolation. In those rare cases, use animator.humanoidOversampling to increase sampling rate. ModelImporterHumanoidOversampling.X2 up to X8 can be used. Usually 2 will do the job! Default is X1 or no oversampling. Key reducing can be used conjointly to only keep Humanoid animation oversampled keys where it is needed while reducing asset size
  • Renaming Animator parameters updates transitions using those parameters
  • Retargeting quality for humanoid import animation. The retargeting quality compares original generic animation with humanoid retargeted animation. An average or maximum position error greater than 1.0 “normalized” mm will be reported. An average or maximum error greater than 0.5 degree will be reported. The time (and frame number) in full take of maximum errors is also reported. The position and rotation errors are reported per human body parts. The Retargeting Quality report can be turned on or off in Import Message foldout of Animation Inspector. It is off by default as it makes file import slower
  • SetBoneLocalRotation. Animator.SetBoneLocalRotation let you modify the local rotation of humanoid bone during IK passes/OnAnimatorIK() callback. It can be used to modify the pose of a humanoid avatar after Animation Blending, but that will still be taken in account by IK Solving. Ex: Adjust Hips and Spine rotation to drive lower and upper body independently on top of animation
  • Networking Improvements:
  • Added OnLobbyServerPlayersReady callback to the NetworkLobbyManager to allow users to perform custom behaviour when all the players in the lobby are ready
  • Added support for client-side authority for non-player objects. The new function NetworkServer.SpawnWithClientAuthority allows authority to be assigned to a client by its connection when an object is created
  • Networking: Added support for network [Command] calls from non-player objects with authority on a client
  • Networking: Added the ability for the NetworkTransform to validate on the server, the movement of authoritative client objects. There are now clientMoveCallback delegates on the NetworkTransform that allow user code to process 2D and 3D movement updates from clients before they are applied
  • Networking: Added NetworkDiscovery component to network HLAPI. This exposes the network transport layer local discovery function to HLAPI code, and allows Unity games on a local network to find each other
  • Terrain Improvements:
  • A warning message will be printed onto the console window if there are too many vertices in a detail patch. Increased the vertex limit to from 50k to 65k.
  • Deferred and legacy deferred rendering paths work again with Terrain
  • Made it easier to work with height maps created by World Machine. The default value of Byte Order option is now Windows (little endian). Added an option to vertically flip the height map when importing or exporting a raw file
  • Now 4097x4097 raw heightmap can be imported
  • Now a TerrainData object embedded into a scene (created by script) allows scene objects being selected as tree prefabs
  • SpeedTree: Negated tangent vectors to match those in the SpeedTree Modeler
  • SpeedTree: Now shader has less variants due to the merge of some geometry types
  • Trees painted on the terrain now are scaled by the prototype's transform scaling

  • iOS: Added support of asset tags and folder references to the Xcode API
  • Linux: Enable experimental GL core profile mode (via -force-glcore and friends)
  • Physics: Now you can set negative WheelCollider.forceAppPointDistance. This allows to adjust forceAppPointDistance in order to have suspension and tire forces applied at the wheel base
  • Physics: Renamed 'CollisionDetectionMode2D.None' to 'CollisionDetectionMode2D.Discrete' (scripts will be auto-updated)
  • Scripting: Application.isShowingSplashScreen checks if Unity is currently showing a splash screen
  • Stacktrace logging: Allow to log full (native/managed) stack trace when log is printed, the option is available in the console window in top right corner popup menu. Also check Application.stackTraceLogType API. Works in Editor and Windows/OSX standalone players
  • Substance: "visibleIf" expressions set in Substance Designer are now properly evaluated (for inputs only) and inputs are now displayed or hidden accordingly
  • Substance: Dynamic parameter in Substance graphs are now evaluated using native code instead of bytecode on Windows / OSX / Linux, resulting in faster texture generation
  • Substance: Feature parity with Substance Designer 5.1
  • Substance: Runtime generation of procedural materials is now supported on PS4 and XboxOne consoles
  • TrueTypeFontImporter: References to other font assets to be used in the project as fallback are now shown in the TrueTypeFontImporter inspector
  • UI: Add callback to MaskableGraphic for when it becomes culled via the 2D culling API
  • UI: Added support for EventType.ExecuteCommand "SelectAll" to InputField so that it works in the Editor
  • UI: Added underloaded function call for RectTransformUntility.RectangleContainsScreenPoint so a camera is not required
  • UI: Make the default value for a slider / scrollbar be 0
  • UI: Remove (Pro Only) from UI shaders as they can be used on any version of Unity 5
  • Version Control: Bottom most version control info bar in inspector shows separate state for meta file if different from asset

  • Version Control: Reduce unnecessary checkouts
  • WebGL/IL2CPP: Improved stripping resulting in smaller build sizes
  • WebGL: Resolution set in HTML file will no longer be overridden by PlayerSettings
  • Windows Store Apps/Phone 8.1/Universal Apps: Unity will generate projects in a consistent way with Visual Studio. For ex., When specifying project names with whitespaces or symbols like '-', '.', Unity will no longer strip those symbols when creating folders, note this might break existing projects if you're building on top of old directory and your project name contains one of these symbols
  • Windows Store Apps/Phone 8.1/Universal Apps: Unity will properly use project name instead of hardcoded "Template" word, when creating App.xaml, App.xaml.cs, MainPage.xaml, MainPage.xaml.cs, AssemblyInfo.cs files

New in Unity 5.2.0f1 Beta (Aug 17, 2015)

  • Feature:
  • 2D: Ability to rotate sprites while Sprite Packing to save atlas space.
  • Android: Audio - Enable OpenSL for devices that support FEATURE_AUDIO_LOW_LATENCY
  • Android: ETC1 Compression for Sprite Atlases. The texture is split into two parts without alpha (second part containing alpha information as a grayscale) and combined at runtime. The option can be set on a per texture level, which affects the final atlas the texture lands in.
  • Application.UnloadLevel Unloading scenes is now possible while the game is running. References to lightmaps are cleared but you have to call Resources.UnloadUnusedAssets(); to actaully unload them. Enlighten data is unloaded immediately. This feature is especially useful in conjuntion with Lightmapping.BakeMultipleLevels(string[] scenes);
  • Audio: Ability to set custom rolloff curves for an AudioSource at runtime via script The following curves will be able to be set at runtime: Volume RolloffSpatial Blend (2D / 3D)Reverb Zone MixSpreadLowPass Filter Cutoff Frequency
  • Audio: Spatialization API (updated SDK and example on https://bitbucket.org/Unity-Technologies/nativeaudioplugins)
  • Cloud Service: Access control list support
  • CullingGroups: Added CullingGroup API, which allows you to specify a large set of bounding spheres that are integrated into the culling pipeline and subjected to frustum and occlusion culling.
  • Graphics: Added option in player settings for configurable vertex compression. Default values: position and UV1 is uncompressed, the rest of the channels are compressed.
  • Multi Scene Lighting baking. Lightmapping.BakeMultipleScenes(string[] scenes); Lets you bake lightmaps, reflection probes and realtime lightmaps for multiple scenes which together, which can be loaded additively. Data is automatically split on bake per scene.
  • Networking: Added NetworkDiscovery component to network HLAPI. This exposes the network transport layer local discovery function to HLAPI code, and allow Unity games on a local network to find each other.
  • New low-level native plugin API.
  • Out of the box support for VisualStudio Tools for Unity (aka UnityVS)
  • Physics: Added parameter QueryTriggerInteraction to all physics queries (raycast, spherecast, overlap) to allow any query to override whether or not the query should hit Triggers.
  • Physics: Expose CharacterController.skinWidth parameter to scripts
  • Physics: Expose impulse applied at contact (see Collision.impulse)
  • Physics: Support scaling vehicles
  • Shaders: Fixed Function shaders work on all platforms now (including consoles). They are always generated at shader import time (a button "show generated code" in shader inspector shows the code); removed all runtime support. All rendering got slightly faster (even when not using fixed function shaders); and executable sizes got slightly smaller.MaterialPropertyBlocks work with them now (which means Sprites and animated materials work too).Behave more consistently across platforms (specular highlights and light attenuation was slightly different before).Fixed function shaders aren't rasterized at a half-pixel shift on WP8 anymore.However, can not create fixed function shaders using "new Material(string)" at runtime anymore; see Changes section.
  • UI: 2D Rect Mask. A mask for 2D UI elements. Performs faster than the existing stencil buffer mask and does not require additional draw calls to prime the stencil buffer. When an element is outside the bounds of the mask the canvas renderer is also culled which leads to faster batching performance.
  • Unity Ads: Enable and configure Ads from the Unity Connect window in the Editor
  • WebGL: allow .jspre files to be added to the project to be prefixed to the generated JavaScript
  • WebGL: Experimental support for WebGL 2.0 (not yet supported in any released browser)
  • Windows 10 Universal apps now support x64.

  • Introduce EditorSettings.projectGenerationUserExtensions & EditorSettings.projectGenerationBuiltinExtensions.
  • OpenGL: Modify -force-glcoreXX behaves like -force-glesXX trying to run this specification of OpenGL and taking advantage of all available extensions
  • Reflection Probes: Are rendered in a separate deferred pass when using deferred shading. See Improvements section entry for details.
  • Removed hexadecimal color string support from Color and replaced with ColorUtility.
  • Shaders: Can not create fixed function shaders using "new Material(string)" anymore. Shaders must come from assets or be fully precompiled in the editor.
  • Shaders: Changed UnityGlobalIllumination, Unity_GlossyEnvironment, FragmentGI function signatures. If you have custom shaders that uses Unity's PBR please check UnityGlobalIllumination.cginc, UnityStandardBRDF.cginc, UnityStandardCore.cginc respectively
  • Substance: The communication between Unity's MainThread and the Substance Thread was completely rewritten to better decouple Substance processing from Unity's regular operations and to avoid stalling the MainThread. All crashes and hangs at build time, level load/change time, playmode entry/exit should be gone.
  • Terrain: Changed the default hotkey bindings for terrain tools to F1-F6.
  • UI: CanvasRenderer can now take multiple Materials. Like a MeshRenderer each material refers to a SubMesh of the configured Mesh.
  • UI: CanvasRenderer now takes a Mesh instead of List this allows for the use of imported meshs as part of the UI
  • UI: UI.Text now accounts for trailing white spaces when performing horizontal alignment
  • WebGL: Make release builds always fully optimized
  • Improvement:

  • 2D: Provide a custom pivot field in the slicing menu for the sprite editor window
  • 2D: Zooming on sprite editor window’s texture will zoom towards mouse cursor
  • Android: ETC2 is now the default compressed texture format for RGBA textures instead of RGBA4444
  • Android: Experimental support for IL2CPP
  • Asset Loading: Improved performance of LoadAssetAsync. Allow multiple AsyncOperations to be completed in a single frame.
  • Audio: Audio clip "Force to Mono" now has an option for applying normalization after downmix.
  • Audio: Audio file size display is inconveniently only displayed in bytes.
  • Audio: FSBTool crashed during audio import on Windows XP / N platforms and very short audio files.
  • Audio: Improved preview rendering of audioclips, especially for clips that are very short.
  • Audio: Improved the inspector of the AudioMixer performance parameters.
  • Audio: One-shot sounds now also contribute to the data read by AudioSource.GetAudioData/GetSpectrumData.
  • C# Project Generation: included extensions and rootnamespace now configurable in ProjectSettings->EditorSettings
  • C# Project Generation: only one set of project files will be generated, based on what the preferred external editor is.
  • Editor: Added MonoDevelop Solution Properties toggle to External Tools to disable writing of MonoDevelopProperties section to .sln files.
  • Editor: Added to API RunOpenPanelWithFilters
  • Editor: Basic support for retina resolutions on OS X. Only fonts, 3D views and some icons are supported at this time. This is a test to see how the increased fill rate impacts users with different projects and hardware. If the increased resolution is slowing things down unacceptably, you can Get Info on Unity.app in the Finder, and check "Open in Low Resolution".
  • Editor: Better error message when " The classes in the module cannot be loaded." is thrown.
  • Editor: Improved Compute Shader inspector; now lists errors & warnings similar to regular shader inspector.
  • Editor: Improved Export Package window (now uses a proper tree view)
  • Editor: Improved shader inspector performance when there are many errors shown.
  • Editor: Make sure ObjectField and Object Selector shows icons for gameobjects and prefab

  • GI: Added profiling marker for light probe interpolation.
  • GI: Added progress bar for GI Cache -> Clean Cache progress status.
  • GI: Allow ambient intensity higher than 1.
  • GI: Set lightmap texture compression default quality to Normal. Before it was set to Best. Texture compression time in compositing job went down from 700 seconds to 28 seconds for an ETC compressed lightmap.
  • GI: The size of the last lightmap is now reduced to pack the instances more tightly and not waste space.
  • GI: Tip in lighting window for auto mode.
  • Graphics: Add SetUVs to Mesh API, it takes a UV channel, and a List of either Vector2, Vector3, or Vector4 as arguments
  • Graphics: Added a quality setting 'Shadow near plane offset' to allow working around shadow pancaking artifacts

  • Graphics: Added hexadecimal code support to Color struct (TryParseHexString, ToHexStringRGB and ToHexStringRGBA)
  • Graphics: Added linear rendering mode to new OpenGL back-end on desktop.
  • Graphics: CPU side rendering performance optimizations across the board. We've seen between 5% and 30% lower CPU cost for rendering, depending on the setup (details).
  • Graphics: Implemented object naming for D3D11, so textures will pick up the correct name in external graphics debuggers
  • Graphics: Memory saving for meshes with < 300 vertices if dynamic batching is off.
  • Graphics: New GL.IssuePluginEvent(callback, eventId) override allows invoking a specific callback in a specific native plugin.
  • Graphics: Particle rendering optimizations, with speed improvements varying from 15% to 50% depending on geometry type. The main change being that particle rendering no longer modifies the view matrix. This enables graphics lists to be shared between left/right eyes, which can lead to approx 40% reduction in total CPU usage when rendering to stereoscopic displays.
  • Graphics: Reduced CPU overhead of light probes when using forward rendering
  • Graphics: Sorting of the renderable objects is now multithreaded.
  • Graphics: Windows Store Apps 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 now support MSAA.
  • IL2CPP: Improve performance of 'is' operator, 'as' operator, and casting in some cases.
  • IL2CPP: Properly look up a type using the Type.GetType(string) method during a case-insensitive search.
  • iOS/IL2CPP: Enable generic sharing for types and methods whose generic parameters have constraints.
  • iOS/IL2CPP: Enable MakeGenericType and MakeGenericMethod for types and methods whose generic parameters have constraints.
  • iOS/IL2CPP: Improve conversion time of il2cpp, especially in generics heavy code.
  • iOS/IL2CPP: Load embedded resources in memory-mapped files so that the memory used by those embedded resources is marked as constant.
  • iOS: Added build number to Player Settings.

  • iOS: Added support of asset tags and folder references to the Xcode API
  • iOS: Don't wait for Xcode if our plugin is not compatible
  • Linux: Enable experimental GL core profile mode (via -force-glcore and friends)
  • Linux: Improved multithreaded rendering performance
  • Mecanim : Renaning Animator parameters updates transitions using those parameters.
  • Mecanim: 3DS MAX Auto Mapping and T-Pose. When setting an Avatar Animation Type to Humanoid, the Auto-Configure will try to detect if it is a Biped. If the hierarchy and naming of Biped is found, then default mapping and t-pose for biped will be used. Translation DoF will also be automatically activated for that avatar. The avatar can still be re-configured from this point, but usually default Biped mapping, t-pose and translation DoF will give the best results. Note that only Bipeds with no “Triangle Pelvis” and using default naming are supported.
  • Mecanim: Added a "destructive action" prompt when deleting blend tree nodes, so that the behaviour is consistent between StateMachine and BlendTree graphs.
  • Mecanim: Added AnimationClipPlayable.speed to the API
  • Mecanim: Added AnimatorStateInfo.speed and AnimatorStateInfo.speedMultiplier.
  • Mecanim: Added the name of the controller to Console errors that are generated for invalid parameters in blend trees.
  • Mecanim: Added the possibility to create AnyState Transitions to the entry node of a state machine. In a sub state machine, this is essentially the same as creating an AnyState Transition to a sub state machine from the parent state machine. This also adds a straightforward way to add an AnyState Transition to the top-level state machine, which was previously only possible through roundabout methods.
  • Mecanim: Added tooltips to blendtree slides.
  • Mecanim: Added tracking of missing or invalid StateMachineBehaviours in the StateMachine and State inspectors. Missing or Invalid StateMachineBehaviours shouldn't disappear anymore from the inspector.
  • Mecanim: Adding a child blend tree will use the default blend tree parameter, not the blend parameter of the parent.
  • Mecanim: Alt-drag works for BlendTree graph view
  • Mecanim: BlendTree Api now publishes useAutomaticThresholds
  • Mecanim: Can create new clip from selected clip/take in Animation importer
  • Mecanim: Clarify doc for Animator.bodyPosition and bodyRotation.
  • Mecanim: Creating a blend tree in a controller with no float parameter will now automatically add a new float parameter named Blend.
  • Mecanim: Expose Animator.IsInitialized in scripting API.
  • Mecanim: Fixing empty State Machine Behaviour after compilation error
  • Mecanim: Import humanoid animation now reports warnings in “Animations Inspector” instead of flooding the Console.
  • Mecanim: Import humanoid animation warnings have been cleaned and improved. A “Warning” summary box has been added at the top of Animation Inspector to prevent warnings to be left unnoticed. Warnings are reported per take when animation file contains multiple takes. Warnings have been added when in-between humanoid bones rotation differs in Source Avatar and Animation. Text has been reformatted so that is easier to consult the warning report.
  • Mecanim: Improved animator warning for API function Play/CrossFade. Warning should display which animator is throwing the error.
  • Mecanim: Improved default IK Hint for legs. Default IK Hint for knee now points towards foot direction. It gives a more natural IK solving for leg when IK correction needed gets bigger.
  • Mecanim: Improved display of transition previewer.
  • Mecanim: Mecanims Humanoid animation jitters - A.K.A. Humanoid Oversampling. For some animations, usually those with fast motion, the Humanoid interpolation may differ from original Euler rotation interpolation. In those rare cases, use animator.humanoidOversampling to increase sampling rate. ModelImporterHumanoidOversampling.X2 up to X8 can be used… Usually 2 will do the job! Default is X1 or no oversampling. Key reducing can be used conjointly to only keep Humanoid animation oversampled keys where it is needed while reducing asset size.
  • Mecanim: Retargeting quality for humanoid import animation. The retargeting quality compares original generic animation with humanoid retargeted animation. An average or maximum position error greater than 1.0 “normalized” mm will be reported. An average or maximum error greater than 0.5 degree will be reported. The time (and frame number) in full take of maximum errors is also reported. The position and rotation errors are reported per human body parts. The Retargeting Quality report can be turned on or off in Import Message foldout of Animation Inspector. It is off by default as it makes file import slower.
  • Mecanim: SetBoneLocalRotation. Animator.SetBoneLocalRotation(Quaternion r) let you modify the local rotation of humanoid bone during IK passes/OnAnimatorIK() callback. It can be used to modify the pose of a humanoid avatar after Animation Blending, but that will still be taken in account by IK Solving. Ex: Adjust Hips and Spine rotation to drive lower and upper body independently on top of animation.
  • Mecanim: Show frame number in avatar previewer.
  • Mecanim: Support Layers Affect Mass Center for AnimatorControllerPlayable.
  • Mecanim: Translation DoF for Humanoid. Some animation files come with translation animation on humanoid bones. For example, it is the case with 3DS MAX Biped that comes with translation on 1st Spine bone. Translation DoF can be activated on those humanoid avatar to convert translation animation to retargetable translation DoFs. Translation DoF affects Spine, Shoulders, Upper Legs and Neck bones. Translation DoFs usually represent small amount of translation that improves retargeting quality. Translation DoF may also be used to improve retargeting quality when animation has more than two animated spine bones. Translation DoF can be activated in Muscle & Setting tab of Humanoid configure window.
  • Mecanim: Updated documentation for AnimatorOverrideController.
  • Merge Tool: Fix merging of scenes/prefabs with out of order objects
  • Metro: AppCallbacks.LoadGfxNativePlugin has been deprecated. All plugins that are in the project and set to build for a given platform are now loaded automatically. The function still exists and does nothing, but it will be removed in a future Unity version.
  • Networking: Added OnLobbyServerPlayersReady callback to the NetworkLobbyManager to allow users to perform custom behaviour when all the players in the lobby are ready.
  • Networking: Added support for client-side authority for non-player objects. The new function NetworkServer.SpawnWithClientAuthority(GameObject obj, NetworkConnection conn) allows authority to be assigned to a client by its connection when an object is created. This would typically be used in a command handler for a client asking to spawn an object, then the client's connection would be passed in. For example: [Command] void CmdSpawn(){ var go = (GameObject)Instantiate(otherPrefab, transform.position + new Vector3(0,1,0), Quaternion.identity); NetworkServer.SpawnWithClientAuthority(go, base.connectionToClient); } For setting the authority on objects after they are created, there are the new functions AssignClientAuthority(NetworkConnection conn) andRemoveClientAuthority(NetworkConnection conn) on the NetworkIdentity class. Note that only one client can be the authority for an object at a time. On the client that has authority, the function OnStartAuthority() is called, and the property hasAuthority will be true. The set of objects that is owned by a client is available in the new property NetworkConnection.clientOwnedObjects which is a set of NetworkInstanceIds. This set can be used on the server when a message is received to ensure that the client that sent the message actually owns the object. When a client disconnects, the function DestroyPlayersForConnection now destroys all the objects owned by that connection, not just the player object. Objects which have their authority set to a client must have LocalPlayerAuthority set in their NetworkIdentity. Previously only player objects could have local authority, which meant that the NetworkTransform (and other components) could only be used for controlling the single player object for a connection on a client. With these changes it is possible to have multiple objects on a client that are locally controlled.- Networking: Added support for network [Command] calls from non-player objects with authority on a client. Since in 5.2 clients can have authority over non-player objects using NetworkServer.SpawnWithClientAuthority() or NetworkIdentity.AssignClientAuthority(), network Commands were extended from being allowed from just the player object to any object that is controlled by a client.
  • Networking: Added the ability for the NetworkTransform to validate on the server, the movement of authoritative client objects. There are now clientMoveCallback delegates on the NetworkTransform that allow user code to process 2D and 3D movement updates from clients before they are applied. This callback code can reject movement requests completely or modify the movement data. When used in conjuction with client-side movement checks this provides a more secure movement model for multiplayer games.
  • OpenGL: Added -force-clamped prevents trying to use all available extensions when used together with -force-glcoreXX or -force-glesXX
  • OpenGL: Added -force-gles editor and standalone player to automatically run with the best version of ES supported by the platform
  • OpenGL: Fallback gracefully to Direct3D when requesting OpenGL/ES with -force-gl** when the platform doesn't have a good enough OpenGL support.
  • OpenGL: Fallback gracefully to OpenGL when requesting OpenGL ES but it's not supported (all AMD GPUs, older than Intel IvyBridge IGP)
  • OSX: sometimes MonoDevelop & XamarinStudio would open both.

  • Playables: Improved connection API: GetInput(index), GetInputCount, ClearInputs, and more.
  • Playables: No longer necessary to create a PlayableController to play a tree of Playables. The Animator (and other DirectorPlayer) now expose new Play(Playable root) API.
  • Reflection Probes: Make deferred probe blend distance configurable
  • Reflection Probes: when using Deferred Shading, the reflection probes are now rendered per-pixel (instead of each object only being affected by one or two probes). This will allow doing SSRR (screen space raytraced reflections) properly soon. More details in this document.
  • Scripting: Added Cubemap.mipmapCount
  • Shader: Added finalgbuffer and finalprepass modifiers. They work in the same way as finalcolor does, but are used by the deferred and prepass base paths respectively for altering what would be written into the gbuffer.
  • Shader: decal:add surface shaders now generate code for deferred and legacy deferred paths if finalgbuffer and finalprepass modifiers are specified.
  • Shader: Now skip_variants directive skips user variants as well.

  • Shaders: Make it possible to use UNITY_SAMPLE_SHADOW when SHADOWS_NATIVE is not explicitly defined.
  • SpeedTree: Negated tangent vectors to match those in the SpeedTree Modeler.
  • SpeedTree: Now shader has less variants due to the merge of some geometry types.
  • Stacktrace logging: Allow to log full (native/managed) stack trace when log is printed, the option is available in the console window in top right corner popup menu. Also check Application.stackTraceLogType API. Works in Editor and Windows/OSX standalone players.
  • Substance: "visibleIf" expressions set in Substance Designer are now properly evaluated (for inputs only) and inputs are now displayed or hidden accordingly.
  • Substance: Dynamic parameter in Substance graphs are now evaluated using native code instead of bytecode on Windows / OSX / Linux, resulting in faster texture generation.

  • UI: Added underloaded function call for RectTransformUntility.RectangleContainsScreenPoint so a camera is not required.
  • UI: Make the default value for a slider / scrollbar be 0
  • UI: Multithreaded UI system backend. The UI system batching code is now multithreaded this leads to a performance increase of up 4x (in our stress test scenes).
  • UI: Remove (Pro Only) from UI shaders as they can be used on any version of Unity since 5.0
  • Unity Connect: State machine for project Info
  • Version Control: Bottom most version control info bar in inspector shows separete state for meta file if different from asset.
  • Version Control: Icon overlays for version control is surrounded by parenthesis in case an asset and its meta file's state is out of sync

  • Windows Store Apps/Windows Phone 8.1/Windows Universal Apps: Unity will generate projects in a consistent way with Visual Studio. For ex., When specifying project names with whitespaces or symbols like '-', '.', Unity will no longer strip those symbols when creating folders, note this might break existing projects if you're building on top of old directory and your project name contains one of these symbols. (Backwards comptability breakage)
  • Windows Store Apps/Windows Phone 8.1/Windows Universal Apps: Unity will properly use project name instead of hardcoded "Template" word, when creating App.xaml, App.xaml.cs, MainPage.xaml, MainPage.xaml.cs, AssemblyInfo.cs files. (Backwards comptability breakage)

New in Unity 5.2.0 Beta 1 (Jul 4, 2015)

  • Changes:
  • Android: ETC2 is now the default compressed texture format for RGBA textures instead of RGBA4444.
  • Editor: Asset Store window is now a part of the default window layout. Docked behind the scene & game views.
  • Editor: Remove legacy OSX corner window resize behaviour.
  • OpenGL: Modify -force-glcoreXX to behave like -force-glesXX trying to run this specification of OpenGL and taking advantage of all available extensions.
  • Reflection Probes: Are rendered in a separate deferred pass when using deferred shading. See Improvements section entry for details.
  • Shaders: Can not create fixed function shaders using "new Material(string)" anymore. Shaders must come from assets or be fully precompiled in the editor.
  • Shaders: Changed UnityGlobalIllumination, Unity_GlossyEnvironment, FragmentGI function signatures. If you have custom shaders that use Unity's PBR please check UnityGlobalIllumination.cginc, UnityStandardBRDF.cginc, UnityStandardCore.cginc respectively.
  • Substance: The communication between Unity's main thread and the Substance thread was completely rewritten to better decouple Substance processing from Unity's regular operations and to avoid stalling the main thread. All crashes and hangs at build time, level load/change time, playmode entry/exit should be gone.
  • Terrain: Changed the default hotkey bindings for terrain tools to F1-F6.
  • UI: CanvasRenderer can now take multiple Materials. Like a MeshRenderer each material refers to a SubMesh of the configured Mesh.
  • UI: CanvasRenderer now takes a Mesh instead of List this allows for the use of imported meshes as part of the UI.
  • WebGL: Make release builds always fully optimized.
  • Improvements:
  • 2D: Allow sprites to be dragged into scene view in 3D mode. Add temporary GO while dragging for visual feedback similar to when dragging prefabs/model into scene view
  • 2D: Frame selected command (F) now works in the sprite editor window for the selected sprite rect.
  • 2D: Implement undo functionality for sprite editor window's slice menu.
  • 2D: New grid slicing method that uses column and row count.
  • 2D: Pivot snapping on sprite frame rect in sprite editor window only happens when Ctrl is pressed while mouse dragging the pivot handle.
  • 2D: Provide a custom pivot field in the slicing menu for the sprite editor window.
  • 2D: Zooming on sprite editor window’s texture will zoom towards mouse cursor.
  • Android: Experimental support for IL2CPP scripting backend.
  • Asset Loading: Improved performance of LoadAssetAsync. Allow multiple AsyncOperations to be completed in a single frame.
  • Audio: Audio clip "Force to Mono" now has an option for applying normalization after downmix.
  • Editor: Added MonoDevelop Solution Properties toggle to External Tools to disable writing of MonoDevelopProperties section to .sln files.
  • Editor: Added script API for RunOpenPanelWithFilters.
  • Editor: Better error message when "The classes in the module cannot be loaded." is thrown.
  • Editor: Improved Compute Shader inspector; now lists errors & warnings similar to regular shader inspector.
  • Editor: Improved shader inspector performance when there are many errors shown.
  • Editor: Make sure ObjectField and Object Selector show icons for gameobjects and prefab.
  • Editor: More "create new shader" templates under assets create menu (PBS surface shader, unlit shader, image effect shader).
  • Editor: Render cubemap preview instead of icon in large preview ObjectField.
  • Graphics: Texture3D sizes up to 2048 are now allowed (previously the limit was 1024).
  • Editor: When in 2D mode, the camera bounds for the main camera is always visible when it is in orthographic mode.
  • GI: Added profiling marker for light probe interpolation.
  • GI: Added progress bar for GI Cache -> Clean Cache progress status.
  • GI: Set lightmap texture compression default quality to Normal. Before it was set to Best. Texture compression time in compositing job went down from 700 seconds to 28 seconds for an ETC compressed lightmap.
  • Graphics: Added hexadecimal code support to Color struct (TryParseHexString, ToHexStringRGB and ToHexStringRGBA).
  • Graphics: Added options for opaque object sorting control, see Camera.opaqueSortMode (coming to 5.1 too).
  • Graphics: CPU side rendering performance optimizations across the board. We've seen between 5% and 30% lower CPU cost for rendering, depending on the setup.
  • Graphics: Particle rendering optimizations for VR, with speed improvements varying from 15% to 50% depending on geometry type. The main change being that particle rendering no longer modifies the view matrix. This enables graphics lists to be shared between left/right eyes, which can lead to approx 40% reduction in total CPU usage when rendering to stereoscopic displays.
  • Graphics: Sorting of the renderable objects is now multithreaded.
  • Graphics: Windows Store Apps 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 now support MSAA.
  • iOS/IL2CPP: Enable generic sharing for types and methods whose generic parameters have constraints.
  • iOS/IL2CPP: Enable MakeGenericType and MakeGenericMethod for types and methods whose generic parameters have constraints.
  • iOS/IL2CPP: Improve conversion time of il2cpp, especially in generics heavy code.
  • iOS/IL2CPP: Load embedded resources in memory-mapped files so that the memory used by those embedded resources is marked as constant.
  • Linux: Improved rendering performance by using a separate thread for OpenGL calls, just like on Windows/Mac.
  • Mecanim: Renamting Animator parameters updates transitions using those parameters.
  • Mecanim: 3ds Max Auto Mapping and T-Pose. When setting an Avatar Animation Type to Humanoid, the Auto-Configure will try to detect if it is a Biped. If the hierarchy and naming of Biped is found, then default mapping and t-pose for biped will be used. Translation DoF will also be automatically activated for that avatar. The avatar can still be re-configured from this point, but usually default Biped mapping, t-pose and translation DoF will give the best results. Note that only Bipeds with no “Triangle Pelvis” and using default naming are supported.
  • Mecanim: Added AnimatorStateInfo.speed and AnimatorStateInfo.speedMultiplier.
  • Mecanim: Added the name of the controller to Console errors that are generated for invalid parameters in blend trees.
  • Mecanim: Added the possibility to create AnyState Transitions to the entry node of a state machine. In a sub state machine, this is essentially the same as creating an AnyState Transition to a sub state machine from the parent state machine. This also adds a straightforward way to add an AnyState Transition to the top-level state machine, which was previously only possible through roundabout methods.
  • Mecanim: Added tooltips to blendtree slides.
  • Mecanim: Added tracking of missing or invalid StateMachineBehaviours in the StateMachine and State inspectors. Missing or Invalid StateMachineBehaviours shouldn't disappear anymore from the inspector.
  • Mecanim: Adding a child blend tree will use the default blend tree parameter, not the blend parameter of the parent.
  • Mecanim: Alt-drag works for BlendTree graph view
  • Mecanim: Can create new clip from selected clip/take in Animation importer
  • Mecanim: Creating a blend tree in a controller with no float parameter will now automatically add a new float parameter named Blend.
  • Mecanim: Expose Animator.IsInitialized in scripting API.
  • Mecanim: Import humanoid animation now reports warnings in “Animations Inspector” instead of flooding the Console.
  • Mecanim: Import humanoid animation warnings have been cleaned and improved. A “Warning” summary box has been added at the top of Animation Inspector to prevent warnings to be left unnoticed. Warnings are reported per take when animation file contains multiple takes. Warnings have been added when in-between humanoid bones rotation differs in Source Avatar and Animation. Text has been reformatted so that is easier to consult the warning report.
  • Mecanim: Improved animator warning for API function Play/CrossFade. Warning should display which animator is throwing the error.
  • Mecanim: Improved default IK Hint for legs. Default IK Hint for knee now points towards foot direction. It gives a more natural IK solving for leg when IK correction needed gets bigger.
  • Mecanim: Improved display of transition previewer.
  • Mecanim: Mecanims Humanoid animation jitters - A.K.A. Humanoid Oversampling. For some animations, usually those with fast motion, the Humanoid interpolation may differ from original Euler rotation interpolation. In those rare cases, use animator.humanoidOversampling to increase sampling rate. ModelImporterHumanoidOversampling.X2 up to X8 can be used… Usually 2 will do the job! Default is X1 or no oversampling. Key reducing can be used conjointly to only keep Humanoid animation oversampled keys where it is needed while reducing asset size.
  • Mecanim: Retargeting quality for humanoid import animation. The retargeting quality compares original generic animation with humanoid retargeted animation. An average or maximum position error greater than 1.0 “normalized” mm will be reported. An average or maximum error greater than 0.5 degree will be reported. The time (and frame number) in full take of maximum errors is also reported. The position and rotation errors are reported per human body parts. The Retargeting Quality report can be turned on or off in Import Message foldout of Animation Inspector. It is off by default as it makes file import slower.
  • Mecanim: SetBoneLocalRotation. Animator.SetBoneLocalRotation(Quaternion r) let you modify the local rotation of humanoid bone during IK passes/OnAnimatorIK() callback. It can be used to modify the pose of a humanoid avatar after Animation Blending, but that will still be taken in account by IK Solving. Ex: Adjust Hips and Spine rotation to drive lower and upper body independently on top of animation.
  • Mecanim: Show frame number in avatar previewer.
  • Mecanim: Translation DoF for Humanoid. Some animation files come with translation animation on humanoid bones. For example, it is the case with 3DS MAX Biped that comes with translation on 1st Spine bone. Translation DoF can be activated on those humanoid avatar to convert translation animation to retargetable translation DoFs. Translation DoF affects Spine, Shoulders, Upper Legs and Neck bones. Translation DoFs usually represent small amount of translation that improves retargeting quality. Translation DoF may also be used to improve retargeting quality when animation has more than two animated spine bones. Translation DoF can be activated in Muscle & Setting tab of Humanoid configure window.
  • Merge Tool: Fix merging of scenes/prefabs with out of order objects
  • Metro: AppCallbacks.LoadGfxNativePlugin has been deprecated. All plugins that are in the project and set to build for a given platform are now loaded automatically. The function still exists and does nothing, but it will be removed in a future Unity version.
  • Networking: Added OnLobbyServerPlayersReady callback to the NetworkLobbyManager to allow users to perform custom behaviour when all the players in the lobby are ready.
  • Networking: Added support for client-side authority for non-player objects.
  • The new function NetworkServer.SpawnWithClientAuthority(GameObject obj, NetworkConnection conn) allows authority to be assigned to a client by its connection when an object is created. This would typically be used in a command handler for a client asking to spawn an object, then the client's connection would be passed in. For example:
  • [Command]
  • void CmdSpawn()
  • var go = (GameObject)Instantiate(otherPrefab, transform.position + new Vector3(0,1,0), Quaternion.identity);
  • NetworkServer.SpawnWithClientAuthority(go, base.connectionToClient);
  • For setting the authority on objects after they are created, there are the new functions AssignClientAuthority(NetworkConnection conn) and RemoveClientAuthority(NetworkConnection conn) on the NetworkIdentity class. Note that only one client can be the authority for an object at a time. On the client that has authority, the function OnStartAuthority() is called, and the property hasAuthority will be true.
  • The set of objects that is owned by a client is available in the new property NetworkConnection.clientOwnedObjects which is a set of NetworkInstanceIds. This set can be used on the server when a message is received to ensure that the client that sent the message actually owns the object.
  • When a client disconnects, the function DestroyPlayersForConnection now destroys all the objects owned by that connection, not just the player object. Objects which have their authority set to a client must have LocalPlayerAuthority set in their NetworkIdentity.
  • Previously only player objects could have local authority, which meant that the NetworkTransform (and other components) could only be used for controlling the single player object for a connection on a client. With these changes it is possible to have multiple objects on a client that are locally controlled.
  • Networking: Added support for network [Command] calls from non-player objects with authority on a client. Since in 5.2 clients can have authority over non-player objects using NetworkServer.SpawnWithClientAuthority() or NetworkIdentity.AssignClientAuthority(), network Commands were extended from being allowed from just the player object to any object that is controlled by a client.
  • Networking: Added the ability for the NetworkTransform to validate on the server, the movement of authoritative client objects. There are now clientMoveCallback delegates on the NetworkTransform that allow user code to process 2D and 3D movement updates from clients before they are applied. This callback code can reject movement requests completely or modify the movement data. When used in conjunction with client-side movement checks this provides a more secure movement model for multiplayer games.
  • OpenGL: Added -force-clamped prevents trying to use all available extensions when used together with -force-glcoreXX or -force-glesXX
  • OpenGL: Added -force-gles editor and standalone player to automatically run with the best version of ES supported by the platform
  • OpenGL: Fallback gracefully to Direct3D when requesting OpenGL/ES with -force-gl** when the platform doesn't have a good enough OpenGL support.
  • OpenGL: Fallback gracefully to OpenGL when requesting OpenGL ES but it's not supported (all AMD GPUs, older than Intel IvyBridge IGP)
  • Reflection Probes: when using Deferred Shading, the reflection probes are now rendered per-pixel (instead of each object only being affected by one or two probes). This will allow doing SSRR (screen space raytraced reflections) properly soon. More details in this document.
  • Scripting: Added Cubemap.mipmapCount
  • Shaders: "Procedural Skybox" shader now has selectable options for Sun Disk: None (fastest), Simple (should be close to the current sun disk), High Quality.
  • Shaders: Make it possible to use UNITY_SAMPLE_SHADOW when SHADOWS_NATIVE is not explicitly defined.
  • SpeedTree: Negated tangent vectors to match those in the SpeedTree Modeler.
  • SpeedTree: Now shader has less variants due to the merge of some geometry types.
  • Stacktrace logging: Allow to log full (native/managed) stack trace when log is printed, the option is available in the console window in top right corner popup menu. Also check Application.stackTraceLogType API. Works in Editor and Windows/OSX standalone players.
  • Substance: "visibleIf" expressions set in Substance Designer are now properly evaluated (for inputs only) and inputs are now displayed or hidden accordingly.
  • Substance: Dynamic parameter in Substance graphs are now evaluated using native code instead of bytecode on Windows / OSX / Linux, resulting in faster texture generation.

  • Terrain: A warning message will be printed onto the console window if there are too many vertices in a detail patch. Increased the vertex limit to from 50k to 65k.
  • Terrain: Expose TerrainData.SetHeightsDelayedLOD and Terrain.ApplyDelayedHeightmapModification to allow users to achieve high frame rates while doing interactive terrain editing
  • Terrain: Made it easier to work with height maps created by World Machine.
  • The default value of Byte Order option is now Windows (little endian).
  • Added an option to vertically flip the height map when importing or exporting a raw file.a
  • Terrain: Now 4097x4097 raw heightmap can be imported.
  • Terrain: Now a TerrainData object embedded into a scene (created by script) allows scene objects being selected as tree prefabs.
  • Terrain: Renamed "Wind Settings" label to "Wind Settings for Grass".
  • Terrain: Trees painted on the terrain now are scaled by the prototype's transform scaling.
  • TrueTypeFontImporter: References to other font assets to be used in the project as fallback are now shown in the TrueTypeFontImporter inspector
  • UI: Multithreaded UI system backend. The UI system batching code is now multithreaded this leads to a performance increase of up 4x (in our stress test scenes).
  • Unity Connect: State machine for project Info
  • Version Control: Bottom most version control info bar in inspector shows separete state for meta file if different from asset.
  • Version Control: Icon overlays for version control is surrounded by parenthesis in case an asset and its meta file's state is out of sync
  • Version Control: Reduce unnecessary checkouts
  • Version Control: Tooltip on info bars in inspector showing asset/meta file state
  • WebGL/IL2CPP: Improved stripping resulting in smaller build sizes
  • Windows Store/Phone will now show animated Unity splashscreen instead of the static one.
  • Windows Store Apps: InvokeOnAppThread/InvokeOnUIThread now will not cause deadlock, when called with sync=true multiple times in one chain
  • Xbox One: Unity now builds with the June 2015 XDK. You must install the June 2015 XDK on your PC and use the matching or a later recovery on your console.

New in Unity 5.1 (Jun 9, 2015)

  • The Unity 5.1 release builds on two key Unity 5 strengths: industry-leading multiplatform support, and unmatched efficiency boosted in the cloud. Amongst other things, it brings you a new unified development experience for VR platforms like Oculus Rift and our easy to use Unity Multiplayer networking solution.
  • Multiplayer made easy:
  • The first phase of our plan to make it significantly easier to make multiplayer games across a host of platforms is now a reality. Thanks to new APIs, all Unity developers can get deep access to just the features they want, as well as a more automated solution that’s easy to use.
  • Multiplayer Service: In preview, but not for long:
  • Additionally, the Unity Multiplayer Service, including our Matchmaker and Relay Servers, is currently in preview. While that’s the case, you can use the service with up to 100 concurrent users free of charge.
  • We’ll launch the full service very soon, and anyone using it during the preview stage can benefit from the full service when their game is production-ready! Sign-up here.
  • Join the VR revolution:
  • With Unity 5.1 we’ve added a highly optimized rendering pipeline for VR and AR devices. Native Oculus Rift deployment is available right now to all Unity users, and we’ll be adding full native support for further platforms, including Microsoft Hololens and Gear VR in the near future.
  • In Unity 5.1, you can plug in your Oculus Rift dev kit and playtest away, with Unity handling a number of VR/AR-specific features out of the box. Head tracking and an appropriate field of view are applied to your camera automatically and rendered in stereo just like that.
  • Plus, we’ve already implemented a number of stereoscopic rendering optimizations including single pass culling and shared shadowmaps to help you deliver exceptional frame rates.
  • Across the board improvements:
  • Every release gives us the opportunity to improve the overall quality of our code base. Beyond the bug fixes we’ve done for our weekly patch releases, we’ve fixed over 170 bugs in Unity 5.1.
  • Additionally, we’ve made over 70 smaller improvements to API usabilities and workflows, with a focus on 2D and animation features. Another significant refactor sees us introduce a new unified OpenGL rendering backend. This helps us eliminate the numerous code paths between devices, and has made analyzing and fixing mobile rendering bugs significantly easier.
  • As well as introducing our own quality improvements, we also wanted to assist you in improving your game code. With that in mind, we’ve added a Runtime Assertion Library.
  • Cloud Build adds support for Mercurial source control:
  • Launched with Unity 5, our Cloud Build service saves you time by automating builds for iOS, Android, and the Unity Web Player. Cloud Build has already saved developers over 200,000 hours, making it easier than ever for them to build, share, and test their games.
  • Today we’re announcing support for projects using Mercurial. Cloud Build now supports four types of source control servers: Git, SVN, Perforce, and, with this latest addition, Mercurial.

New in Unity 5.1.0 Beta 6 (May 13, 2015)

  • Feature:
  • VR: Scripting VR.InputTracking.Recenter() to recenter head pose.
  • Change:
  • Physics: New initialization fixes target angle being measured incorrectly.
  • Physics: Enabling the HingeJoint Motor overrides the spring, if the spring was enabled. If the motor is again disabled the spring will be restored. This restores Unity4 functionality.
  • Physics: HingeJoint MinBounce and MaxBounce are replaced by a single 'bounciness' for both limit ends. The new bounciness will be set to the largest of the old MinBounce and MaxBounce.
  • Physics: (Breaking) Modifying the HingeJoint Limit properties will no longer automatically enable the limit. You now need to explicitly set HingeJoint.useLimit.
  • Physics: (Breaking) Modifying the HingeJoint Motor properties will no longer automatically enable the motor. You now need to explicitly set HingeJoint.useMotor.
  • Physics: (Breaking) Modifying the HingeJoint Spring properties will no longer automatically enable the spring. You now need to explicitly set HingeJoint.useSpring.
  • Mecanim: Animator.speed can only be negative when the recorder is enabled. Now when the recorder is offline we do clamp the speed to 0 to avoid negative speed.
  • Mecanim: Transitions now have a fixed duration by default. Before Transition duration was in normalized time.
  • UNet: The NetworkView component from the old network system was marked as deprecated.
  • Improvement:
  • UI: Allow dragging anchors outside of bounds of parent when holding down Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) - the same key that disables snapping. This makes it easier to author screen transitions that support multiple resolutions, since content can be animated to move a distance that's a percentage of the screen width or height.
  • UI: Changed default blink rate and widget range of InputField caret to match the new frequency behavior.
  • Graphics: Added SetPixels32/GetPixels32 to Texture3D.
  • Shaders: Support VFACE in surface shader inputs; just use a float variable with VFACE semantic.
  • Physics: Rigidbodies connected to a HingeJoint will now automatically be woken up when the joint is updated.
  • Physics: Added HingeJoint BounceMinVelocity. When bounciness is enabled this is the minimum impact velocity which will cause the joint to bounce.
  • Setting this very low, like zero, will cause the joint to never stop bouncing. This can lead to jittering and performance problems.
  • Setting this very high will cause to joint to never bounce.
  • Physics: HingeJoint scripting documentation updated.
  • Mecanim: Added Animator.CrossFadeInFixedTime and Animator.PlayInFixedTime to support fixed time manual transitions.
  • Mecanim: Retargeting import warnings are removed from the console and are now available in the model importer warning foldout. This will simplify the submission process for Animation Clip to the asset store.

  • UI: Prevent out of range exception that happened in InputField under certain circumstances due to an unwanted recursive call.
  • UI: Fixed bug that multiple Layout Group components on the same GameObject was not prevented even though it is not supported.

  • Shaders: Fixed that surface shaders vertex color field had to actually be called "color" (now just COLOR semantic is enough, like the docs always said).
  • Shaders: Add warning when using SV_POSITION in vertex shader inputs on DX11, and improve error message.
  • UNET: Problems with NetworkTransport.RemoveHost()
  • Animation Window: No more errors when changing to curve tab with sprite animation
  • Animation Window: When cancelling first clip creation, the existing empty Animator component is not removed

New in Unity 5.1.0 Beta 3 (Apr 17, 2015)

  • FEATURES:
  • Editor: Home Window Login integration. You can now login or work offline using the home window or command-line arguments.
  • Editor: Home Window License integration. You can now validate your serial and activate your copy of Unity using the new 5.1 json licensing API through the home window.

  • Graphics: Experimental support for OpenGL 4.5 and ES 3.1 on Windows. Use -force-glcore, -force-gles(20|30|31|31aep) arguments to enable. This enables testing OpenGL ES 3.1 features on desktop. Note: no GL4 support on Mac yet.
  • Networking: New multiplayer networking feature introduced, see the manual and UnityEngine.Networking namespace in the script reference for details. This includes low level API (transport layer) and a higher level API with many features to help implement multiplayer functionality in games. Cloud based relay service can be used to get past NAT restrictions, and a simple matchmaking service can be used for game/host discovery. To configure the services go to https://unet.cloud.unity3d.com. This replaces the current RakNet based multiplayer feature.
  • Runtime: Added assertion library under UnityEngine.Assertions namespace
  • Shaders: OpenGL ES 3.0+ will use a new shader compiler backend. Based on HLSL + github.com/James-Jones/HLSLCrossCompiler + glsl-optimizer. This enables compute shaders on ES3.1 and other modern features. Existing Cg/HLSL compute, geometry and tessellation shaders can be used via automatic translation as well as with direct GLSL snippets. Note: Memory layout rule differences between DX and GL must be taken into account on the buffer data uploads.
  • Unity Analytics: New, built-in Analytics functionality introduced (currently in “Preview”), including higher-level, flexible APIs to track almost every kind of action in your game. We eliminated the need to download and import additional plug-ins to start using Analytics. To get started, simply visit http://analytics.unity3d.com to generate the unique ProjectId that you’ll use to associate your project with your Analytics dashboard, as well as access the relevant documentation and integration instructions. Note: 4.x-5.0 Editor users can still use Analytics by integrating the downloadable SDK package. For 5.1 users, adding the plug-in should not result in errors, nor will it result in duplicate data, but we still advise that you remove the old plug-in assets.
  • SDK integration in Preview mode, get started by visiting our dashboard at blah to get your unique Project ID and integration step-by-step guide. No more need to download and import any SDK packages.
  • VR: Added integrated support for Oculus Rift in Editor and Standalone Players. Once Virtual Reality is enabled in Player Settings, pressing play in the editor will show your game view on the rift. It is recommended to "Maximize on Play" the game view in order to achieve smooth rendering. Be sure to remove any previous Oculus plugins from your project.

  • Editor: Improved grid in Scene View. Eliminates the popping and inconsistent draw distance of the old grid, and also draws grid lines smaller than one unit (10th of a unit, 100th of a unit and so on) when sufficiently zoomed in. New grid shading makes it possible to have grid lines more dense in close parts of the grid without the parts further away being too dense.
  • Editor: Introduced CreateAssetMenu attribute. Apply it to ScriptableObject-derived types to cause them to show up automatically in the Assets/Create menu.
  • Editor: Introduced HelpURL attribute, for setting custom documentation URL for user-authored classes.
  • Editor: Simple expression evaluator for all number fields. Supports + - / * % ( ) operators. This means that all number fields can be used as a calculator.

  • iOS/IL2CPP: Optimize methods that use a string literal and memory used for string literals.
  • iOS/IL2CPP: Disabled Script Debugging option when building iOS projects that target the IL2CPP scripting backend.
  • Shaders: Surface shaders can use the UnityGI structure in their lighting functions. UnityGI contains light from all lightmap types, light probes and reflection probes. The built-in Lambert and BlinnPhong were updated to use it as well.
  • Shaders: Existing user surface shaders with custom lighting functions work with Non-Directional (baked and realtime) and Directional (baked) lightmap types. These lighting functions need to be updated to use the UnityGI structure to take advantage of all the new lightmap types and reflection probes.
  • Shaders: Surface shaders using UnityGI and alpha transparency default to alpha premultiply mode (alpha:premul). Otherwise the default is alpha:blend.
  • Fixes:

New in Unity 5.0 Beta 14 (Dec 20, 2014)

  • KNOWN ISSUES:
  • WebGL: If you set up a UI Event to trigger a method on a class which is not a MonoBehaviour, and that method is not invoked elsewhere from your code, then the method may be stripped, and the event will fail. The workaround is to explicitly call the method in some place in your code to make sure it won't be stripped.
  • UPGRADE GUIDE:
  • iOS: createUnityViewImpl was deprecated and removed (NSAssert will be fired if you implement this method). override createUnityView instead.
  • iOS: createViewHierarchyImpl was deprecated and removed (NSAssert will be fired if you implement this method). override willStartWithViewController: instead.
  • iOS: createViewHierarchy was deprecated and removed. Use createUI instead if you had it called from custom place.
  • FEATURES:
  • Android: Added support for Android TV banners
  • Audio: Added per-platform compression setting overrides for AudioClip import, much like texture importing. This includes an API change. Users will now be able to enable override settings per platform and have unity have different compression characteristics for different platforms
  • Reflection Probes:
  • A new "Realtime" mode can be selected on probes. When using this mode, the probe can be re-rendered on-demand via scripting. Rendering can be set to be done across many frames, or a single frame.
  • While in the Editor, probes can also render automatically when the scene changes if the "Always Update" mode is selected in the reflection probe inspector. Note that the editor's performance will be negatively affected if too many probes are set to use this option.
  • Sample Assets.
  • Terrain: Added an option to preload all detail patches and keep them loaded in memory. Set via the Terrain settings and with the "collectDetailPatches" property. Can reduce hicupps when navigating a Terrain.
  • Unity Download Assistant.
  • See new related API:
  • ReflectionProbe.RenderProbe
  • ReflectionProbe.IsFinishedRendering
  • CHANGES:
  • Fonts: Font.textureRebuildCallback has been renamed to Font.textureRebuilt and is now a static event of type Action. Font.textureRebuildCallback continues to work but has been deprecated. This change cannot be upgraded automatically by the script updater.
  • GI: Renamed SphericalHarmonics3 to SphericalHarmonicsL2 where L2 denotes SH up to the 2nd order (so 3 bands, 9 coefficients).
  • iOS: changed the way UI integration works. Now there are specialized ViewController's for fixed orientation. Also made custom UI integration easier - both for simple and complicated cases (e.g. if you have portrait unity content in landscape ViewController, script side and _unityView.content orientation will return portrait, while AppController's interface orientation will be landscape). For more details check comments in Classes/UI/UnityAppController+ViewHandling.h in trampoline

New in Unity 4.6.0 (Nov 26, 2014)

  • FEATURES:
  • New UI System: Design UIs for your game or application using Unity's powerful new component based UI framework and visual tools:
  • Create UIs in screen space with or without perspective and with support for pixel perfect alignment, or in world space for simple creation of in-world interactions.
  • The layout system combines anchoring to sides, corners, or custom points in the parent container with the ability to stretch to a percentage or full extent of the parent width or height. Simple Scene View handles allows intuitive visual control and tweaking of the positional behavior.
  • Build up designs and customized controls composed of image, text, masking, and effects. All graphical components have full support for custom materials and lighting.
  • Built-in controls for buttons, sliders, scroll views, input fields and more have been designed for full cross platform deployment, supporting touch controls and mouse as well as directional navigation such as arrow keys or gamepad controls.
  • The UI system integrates with Unity’s animation smoothly, meaning that you can use state machines and other animation features to control your UI elements and panels.
  • The UI system is designed to be extensible so that it can meet the needs of your projects. Combine existing UI elements together to create new controls, extend existing controls, or write new controls from scratch.
  • Easily set up callbacks for your UI controls in the Inspector using the new persistent delegate system. A lot of functionality can be hooked up to your UI with no programming needed!
  • New Rect Tool: In previous versions, rect handles were used only in 2D mode and only for SpriteRenderers. With the introduction of the new UI system that is a hybrid of 2D and 3D, more explicit control is needed to be able to efficiently position elements. The new Rect tool in the main Unity toolbar can be used for sprites, UI elements, and any other object as well. The rect handles have also received an overhaul to be more consistent with the other tools, and to be more useful for a wide variety of uses:
  • Rect handles now support Pivot/Center mode as set in the toolbar as well Local/Global mode as set in the toolbar.
  • Rect handle squashing (holding Control/Command while dragging a side) now supports preserving volume rather than area when holding down Shift.
  • Rect handles for objects that appear small in the Scene View now show a disc handle that can be used to move the object in the plane of the rect. When zooming further in, the disc will fade out as the normal rect handles fade in.
  • Extensible Event Messaging System: Use and extend the new Event System framework. The system is used for the new UI to send and receive events, but it can be extended to support custom input devices and custom event logic:
  • Inbuilt support for touch and standalone.
  • Supports 2d, 3d, and UI components.
  • Extensible; add custom input handling and custom events.
  • Persistent Delegates (Unity Events): A new way to set callbacks via the UI and have them be built into a player. This helps non-programmers quickly add functionality to your application within the editor.
  • New Android Build Targets: Support has been added for x86 as a build target. Fat binary support (x86+ARMv7) is supported as well and is the new default.
  • IMPROVEMENTS:
  • Core Improvements:
  • Added smart-allocating GetComponents method which fetches components of type T and grows the list as needed. Non-generic version that supports interfaces has also been added.
  • Added StopCoroutine(Coroutine) function.
  • Added callback 'OnTransformParentChanged' to MonoBehaviour. This is called whenever a transform, or one of it's parent transforms has been reparented.
  • Added Transform.SetParent method that optionally allows setting the parent transform without changing the local position, rotation or scale. For RectTransform it also doesn't change the sizeDelta.
  • Implemented and exposed Transform.TransformVector and Transform.InverseTransformVector so it's no longer necessary to use localToWorldMatrix and WorldToLocalMatrix just to transform vectors with scaling included.
  • Added Vector2.SmoothDamp to be consistent with Vector3.SmoothDamp, Mathf.SmoothDamp, and others.
  • New API TouchScreenKeyboard.isSupported to check if platform supports on screen keyboard.
  • Added new WillFlushUndoRecord callback to Undo class.
  • Added Input.touchSupported API: it tells whether the device on which application is currently running supports touch input.
  • Editor Improvements:
  • Reorganized GameObject creation menus with categories such as 3D Object, 2D Object, Light, etc. as well as improved functionality.
  • "Create Empty" now also appears in the hierarchy Create dropdown.
  • The context menu for Game Objects in the hierarchy can now be used to create new Game Objects as children.
  • More details on the error message when failing to add a Component due to already having another component that is incompatible.
  • If during play mode a hierarchy window takes too long to fetch new data a warning icon will appear to advise users frame rate could be affected based upon the chosen hierarchy sorting.
  • Editor: Made Scene View camera near and far clip planes use constant multipliers of size rather than four fixed ranges with fixed values that cause popping when transitioning over the thresholds of those ranges. The new ranges are about the same for close and medium zoom but has significantly larger near clip planes when zoomed far out, which reduces z-fighting.
  • Made main Game View used by CameraEditor visualizations and the Canvas be the last focused Game View rather than just the first Game View found.
  • Made sure the screen manager uses the correct game view size in the editor, which is only known on the managed side.
  • Increased Texture anisotropic level limit to 16 in the Texture Inspector.
  • Exposed "Generate Mip Maps" option in the Texture Inspector when in Sprite mode.
  • Renamed TextureImporter spritePixelsToUnits to spritePixelsPerUnit and made old property obsolete. The old name was misleading.
  • Curves can now be renamed in the animation window.
  • Made SerializedProperty.displayName public.
  • Enum options generated from SerializedProperty are now nicified just like for all other enum fields in the Inspector.
  • Added SerializedProperty.enumDisplayNames that return the names for enum values as they're shown in the Inspector.
  • Mecanim Improvements:
  • Animation of PPtr types are now supported in the animation window (textures, sprites, materials etc).
  • SendTransformChanged is now only sent to transforms that are animated. Siblings with no animation will not receive SendTransformChanged.
  • 2D Improvements:
  • Default SpritePacker policies will automatically pack mipmapped sprites (padding power - 2).
  • Aniso level for sprites with mip-maps now defaults to 16.
  • SpritePacker will flood the atlas instead of adding 1 pixel borders to sprites.
  • A new pixelsPerUnit property has been exposed on the Sprite class.
  • Android Improvements:
  • Support for profiling Intel GPU using the Unity Editor.
  • Added support for BGRA textures.
  • CHANGES:
  • Editor Changes:
  • T is now assigned as default shortcut key for Rect tool. The Sprite Editor trim shortcut key defaults to Shift-T to avoid conflict with the Rect tool.
  • Rect handles now do non-uniform scaling by default for consistency with a large range of other applications. Hold down shift to scale uniformly.
  • The preference default for script language in the Add Component dropdown has been changed from Javascript to C#, since that's the new default for documentation and examples.
  • Renamed spritePixelsToUnits to spritePixelsPerUnit in TextureImporterSettings.
  • Graphics Changes:
  • Stencil buffer is now available in Unity Free.
  • 2D Changes:
  • Sprite Packer is now enabled by default.
  • New Sprites now have mip-maps enabled by default.
  • FIXES:
  • Editor Fixes:
  • Fixed occasional argument out of range exceptions when using Scene View tools.
  • Picking of locked scene view layers is now prevented.
  • ObjectSelector is now ensured to default to the Asset tab when selecting PhysicsMaterial2D objects.
  • Graphics Fixes:
  • Fixed an issue where render texture was not being created due unsupported anti aliasing value on devices like Surface RT.
  • Compressed sprites are no longer deformed on devices that support NPOT textures.
  • Animation Fixes:
  • Fixed issue where changing the animated property to be Rect Transform Scale and trying to transition between 0 and 1 failed.
  • Fixed crash when creating an AnimationClip on a humanoid rig.
  • Fixes crash when previewing transitions on an Animator with UnscaledTime update mode.
  • 2D Fixes:
  • Unity no longer crashes if a mesh is dragged onto a SpriteRenderer.
  • Fixed issue where 2D colliders break when used as prefab children.
  • Mobile Fixes:
  • Windows Phone 8: Fixed a race condition in TouchScreenKeyboard which would cause ".active" to return false just after the keyboard was opened.
  • Windows Phone 8.1: Fixed an issue which caused InputField and GUI.TextArea to always receive capital letters from the on screen keyboard.
  • Android: Disabled shadows for Intel PowerVR devices to avoid graphics artifacts.

New in Unity 4.6 RC 1 (Nov 7, 2014)

  • FEATURES:
  • Added Input.touchSupported API: it tells whether the device on which application is currently running supports touch input.
  • Android: Support for x86 as a build target.
  • Android: Fat binary support (x86+ARMv7). Now the new default.
  • IMPROVEMENTS:
  • Android: Support for profiling Intel GPU using the Unity Editor.
  • Android: Added support for BGRA textures.
  • Editor: Added SerializedProperty.enumDisplayNames that return the names for enum values as they're shown in the Inspector.
  • UI: Add missing UI system callbacks to EventTrigger.
  • UI: New default controls look:
  • Doubled resolution of sprites in default UI elements so they can be displayed up to scaleFactor 2 without being pixelated.
  • Updated graphics for default UI elements with thinner outlines and new sprite knob graphic as well as updated checkmark graphic.
  • Improved layouts in standard UI elements in GameObject menu.
  • Changed default UI colour and transition state colors.
  • UI: InputField improvements:
  • Tweaked InputFieldEditor, reordering a few elements and adding spacing both for organisation of InputField specific fields and to match spacing in other Selectable controls.
  • Removed concepts of StartingText and ActiveTextColor. Added concept of Placeholder graphic (for example a Text) that's enabled when the text string is empty.
  • Changes to the Text property are now visible in Edit Mode.
  • Always ensure InputField caret is initially visible after clicking since it can otherwise be confusing for a moment.
  • Added new contentType property to InputField which is used to indicate content type at a more high level. It controls lineType, inputType, keyboardType and characterValidation, so these don't need to be shown in the Inspector most of the time.
  • Renamed validation property to characterValidation to make it more clear it only validates per-character and not as a whole.
  • Renamed characterValidation type Float to Decimal.
  • Removed characterValidation type Username since it's unclear what that means.
  • Changed characterValidation type Name to accept all letters (as according to .Net's char.IsLetter() method) rather than just A-Z.
  • Added characterValidation type EmailAddress.
  • Renamed caretBlinkSpeed to caretBlinkRate and also inverse it's meaning to a higher value makes it blink faster.
  • Changed default caretBlinkRate from 1.0 to 1.7, which is more in line with common OS defaults.
  • Improved handling when changing the blink rate while the caret is active.
  • Show caret blink rate as a slider in the Inspector.
  • New text selection color that has higher alpha, is more defined as well as being more in line with OS standards.
  • Fixed issue that scrolling would scroll such that caret remained on last of visible lines (for multi-line) or after last character (for single-line) rather than only changing scrolling if needed.
  • Fixed issue where text would not scroll up when deleting characters until the caret went up beyond the top visible line.
  • While dragging selection, make selection go to text start if above first line and to text end if below last line, and make it update the selection also while dragging outside the text bounds.
  • Improved behavior of arrow keys in text editing in InputField.
  • Prevent distracting hover and pressed transitions in InputField while editing text.
  • Make select all on focus actually work, and do it for multi-line too.
  • Don't scroll to end on focus.
  • Make scrolling (while dragging selection beyond visible lines or characters) faster and even faster horizontally.
  • CHANGES:
  • Editor: Write warning to the console when setting parent of RectTransform using the parent property rather than SetParent, since it's a cause of widespread confusion and support requests. For those who actually want this functionality, they can use SetParent with worldPositionStays set to true, which does the same thing as the parent property.
  • Core: Changed RectTransform.reapplyDrivenPropertiesInEditor delegate to reapplyDrivenProperties, which now apply to the driven RectTransform rather than the driver, and works at runtime too.
  • UI: Renamed DrivenTransformProperties PositionZ to AnchoredPositionZ and Added combined flags AnchoredPosition3D. This ties in with new anchoredPosition3D property on the RectTransform.
  • UI: Removed builtin sprite resources for popup graphics since there is no popup control is included with 4.6 and the graphics were outdated.
  • UI: Added utilities to flip RectTransform layout around axis or flip axes, and apply this functionality when changing slider or scrollbar direction in the Editor, so layout doesn't have to be changed manually.
  • UI: Removed ReferenceResolution and PhysicalResolution components since they have been replaced by CanvasScaler.
  • UI: Make DrivenRectTransformUndo class internal as it was not meant to be exposed.
  • UI: Renamed InputField onSubmit to onEndEdit to avoid confusion since it's also invoked when user clicks away from InputField.
  • UI: Default the UnityEvent creation state to 'Runtime Only' as it is the general case.
  • UI: InputField.value has been changed to ".text" and ".text" is now ".textComponent" to be more consistent with accessing information from the Text component
  • FIXES:
  • Windows Phone 8.1: Fixed an issue which caused InputField and GUI.TextArea to always receive capital letters from the on screen keyboard.
  • Android: Disabled shadows for Intel PowerVR devices to avoid graphics artifacts.
  • Windows Phone 8.0: Setting TouchScreenKeyboard.text will no longer reset caret position.
  • 2D: Unity will not crash if a mesh is dragged onto a SpriteRenderer.

  • MacOSX: Fixed scroll rect mask in fullscreen
  • Windows Phone 8.1/Windows Store: Fixed UI button staying highlighted even after touch ending.
  • Editor: Version control will no longer try to version Unity's defaults assets and thus will not crash.
  • UI: on touch screen devices, first capital letter InputField validation now works correctly.
  • Windows Phone 8.0: InputField with validation no longer reverses the text string.
  • 2D: NPOT sprites with mipmaps will not get parts cut-off when used on platforms not supporting NPOT textures.

  • Core: Recalculate auto-layout when RectTransforms are enabled or disabled.
  • UI: Fixed Toggle having its ToggleGroup set to none when disabled.
  • UI: Fixed ToggleGroup.SetAllTogglesOff not doing anything when allowSwitchOff was not enabled. The allowSwitchOff setting is only meant to disallow the end user from switching a toggle off, not disallow doing it from scripting.
  • UI: Don't notify ToggleGroup when switching toggle that's not active or not enabled.
  • UI: With errors in ToggleGroup about Toggle not being part of ToggleGroup when it was.
  • UI: Fixed Slider not getting pressed transition plus simplify code.
  • UI: Fixed regression where Canvas scaleFactor and referencePixelsPerUnit would be reset on recompiling, and would not be set correctly if disabling and then enabling the CanvasScaler.
  • UI: Fixes to Text component and default controls that help prevent text from disappearing at certain Canvas scale factors.
  • UI: Fixed warning being shown in SelfControllerEditor about parent LayoutGroup even when group is disabled.
  • UI: Fixed nullref in LayoutGroup when group have children without RectTransform.
  • UI: Only show RectTransform position and size data in Inspector in less intuitive way if position or size is driven, not just if any value is driven.
  • UI: Prevent rounding errors from accumulating when changing RectTransform anchors.
  • UI: Fixed ScrollRect scrolling by itself after being enabled due to bounds being calculated in LateUpdate before the layout has been calculated.
  • UI: Do not send 'select' event from TouchInputModule (make it the same as Standalone)
  • UI: Do not reregister the graphic on the canvas if the graphic is disabled. That is only add and remove it during enable and disable.
  • UI: Fix issue with scroll rects transform being accessed before OnEnable has been called.
  • UI: Fix issue with graphic update list incorrectly being recreated
  • UI: When removing a CanvasGroup reset the settings and issue CanvasGroupChanged callback.
  • UI: Remove allocs in InputModules by refactoring data structures
  • UI: Fix deselection handling (when you click on nothing deselect the current thing)
  • UI: Fix issue with SelectGameObject being called recursively. Do not allow this to happen as it can corrupt internal state of selectable objects.
  • Core: Fixed after removing a RectTransform the GameObject not move anymore.

New in Unity 4.5.5 (Oct 30, 2014)

  • OpenGL ES 3.0 for everyone:
  • Unity 4.5 adds OpenGL ES 3.0 support for the latest iOS devices. What’s more, we’ve brought a bunch of improvements to ES 3.0 support generally, including much better graphics level selection in player settings, support for 3D textures and a number of stability and performance fixes.
  • Smooth and natural 2D physics:
  • There are lots and lots of 2D physics advances to benefit from in 4.5. We’ve dug around and changed some things in Box2D as well as adding functions that bring 2D physics better into line with the functions and conventions of our 3D physics system.
  • Faster scene loading:
  • We’ve introduced a significant performance improvement by reworking MonoBehaviour serialization. From now on, your prefabs will instantiate way faster. As well as serializing classes, you can now also serialize structs, making it easier to be friendly to the garbage collector.
  • Shader workflow boost:
  • No more coffee breaks while waiting for Image Effects, Marmoset Skyshop or other advanced shader packs to import. Our all-new shader importer makes things much, much faster. Plus, we’ve also improved shader errors reporting, and made debugging surface-shader-generated code so much easier.
  • Rapid repairs:
  • The Module Manager now allows us to ship hotfixes across all the mobile platforms we support. If, for example, an OS update has unfortunate consequences for Unity installs, we’ll be able to address any issues at double-quick speed, meaning you won’t have to wait for the next full Unity release to access fixes. Read more about how you can get Unity bug fixes faster.
  • Joint gizmos, wheel joints and API sophistication:
  • Amongst many other things, our 2D tools now feature a wheel joint for your vehicular pleasure and some super-amazing 2D joint gizmos, plus you’ll find that we’ve added sophistication and flexibility to the API.
  • Drag as you play:
  • As always, our Beta group have been a great help in ensuring release quality. One feature they particularly loved in 4.5 was the ability to drag 2D rigidbody objects around whilst in the editor’s play mode. Drag, drop and play to your heart’s content!
  • Unity Remote iOS upgrade:
  • Unity Remote is our playtesting solution for iOS and Android. As of Unity 4.5, there’ll be no more Wifi latency when playtesting your games on iOS devices. Plus, we’ve added support for the full range of iOS device inputs including accelerometers, gyroscopes and camera images. Unity Remote is available free of charge from Google Play and the App Store.
  • Stereoscopic rendering for DirectX 11:
  • Many of today’s displays have a 3D feature and ship with 3D glasses, but few games are designed to take advantage of this. In Unity 4.5 we’ve added a Pro-only function that automates the process of building stereoscopic content for any Windows appliance running DirectX 11, making it much easier to build stereoscopic games.
  • Sparse Textures:
  • Want massive, detailed textures without using huge amounts of memory? With Sparse Textures, textures are broken into “tiles” and can be loaded and unloaded as needed. In Unity 4.5, we’re exposing this DirectX 11.2 hardware capability, so you can build your own massive texture systems that use it.
  • Improvements:
  • Editor: Added additional logging when the MonoDevelop script editor was opened on OSX.
  • iOS: Added support for iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus.
  • iOS: Display the number of finished files in AOT cross-compile progress bar.
  • Linux: Implemented screen-fullscreen command line option.
  • OSX: Implemented show-screen-selector command-line option.

  • Linux: When using "Default is fullscreen" and "Default is native resolution" on a multidisplay system, store the resolution pref from the actual window size instead of the full desktop resolution.
  • Manual: Update documentation for player command line arguments.
  • Mecanim: Fixed trigger parameter consumption when used by multiple layers.
  • OSX: Now GameKit is loaded dynamically, it should help with Mac App Store submissions for games, which are not using Game Center.
  • OSX: Application.persistentDataPath changed from ~/Library/Caches/ to ~/Library/Application Support/
  • Physics: 'OnMouseDown' and 'OnMouseUp' callbacks for 3D physics now don't take priority over 2D physics, they can run simultaneously.

New in Unity 5.0 Beta 9 (Oct 30, 2014)

  • Graphics Features:
  • Shaders: Added UNITY_NO_SCREENSPACE_SHADOWS, UNITY_NO_RGBM, UNITY_NO_DXT5nm macros that are defined on corresponding platforms.
  • Shaders: Optimized shader compilation performance for OpenGL/ES platforms
  • Shadows: Added ability to control directional light shadow cascade split ratios. New UI in QualitySettings, and shadowCascade2Split / shadowCascade4Split properties in QualitySettings API.
  • Shuriken: Added a Circle emitter with an option to specify an arc.
  • Shuriken: Added a one-way Edge emitter.
  • Improved LODGroup. A "fade mode" can be set on each level and a value of "how current LOD be blended/faded to the next LOD" will be passed to shader program in unity_LODFade.x.
  • Dynamic batching can batch non-uniform scaled objects together when normals/tangents are unused. Helps with shadow caster batching, and unlit shaders.
  • Added MaterialPropertyBlock SetFloat/Vector/Color/Matrix/Texture functions. They add a value or replace an existing value.
  • Rendering code optimized to reduce amount of material SetPass calls. Reflection probes, light probes and lightmap UV transform state changes are now internally applied via MaterialPropertyBlocks without requiring a full SetPass. This reduces cost on the main thread to send commands to the render thread, and on the the render thread the driver overhead is reduced.
  • New built-in "Standard" shader:
  • Physically based shader, suitable for most everyday surfaces (metals, plastics, wood, stone etc.).
  • This is a default shader for newly created objects now. Most of Unity 4.x shaders were moved to “Legacy” shader popup menu.
  • Features driven by what you enable in the inspector (e.g. when no normal map assigned, the shader will internally use a faster variant without a normal map).
  • Approximate and optimized path for mobile & shader model 2.0.
  • Integrated Enlighten real-time global illumination (GI) technology, and improved lightmapping workflow:
  • Scene changes are automatically picked up and tasks are spawned to: precompute data for dynamic GI, and to calculate static lightmaps.
  • Runtime Dynamic GI at runtime for lights, bounce intensity can be specified on a per light basis
  • Runtime: Changes to lights marked as "Dynamic GI" and skylight changes are picked up automatically.
  • Emissive surfaces can emit lights into Dynamic GI at runtime. Emissive surface colors can be changed at runtime & affect static and dynamic objects in realtime.
  • Runtime: Material changes can be triggered via DynamicGI API.
  • Runtime: Lighting reacting to above changes is applied to static objects via lightmaps and to dynamic objects via light probes.
  • HDR workflow improvements:
  • HDR scene view. When main camera is HDR, then scene view is rendering in HDR as well, and using the same Tonemapper as the main camera.
  • Support for .hdr texture format importing.
  • HDR textures (from .exr/.hdr files) are automatically encoded into RGBM (0..8 range) format. Added option under Advanced import settings to control this behavior.
  • Reflection Probes:
  • New "ReflectionProbe" component that captures its surroundings into a cubemap. Cubemap is assigned to Renderers in the proximity from the probe and can be used to produce effect of the glossy reflections.
  • Reflection probes are baked similar to light probes, are stored as cubemap assets and specular convolution is applied to achieve high-quality glossy reflections.
  • Introduced default reflection cubemap in RenderSettings. It is passed to "unity_SpecCube" property of the shader. Ability to match default cubemap reflection to a skybox, and apply specular convolution for glossy reflections. (requires Pro)
  • Skybox and ambient improvements:
  • New scenes are now set with directional light, procedural skybox and a reflection probe by default.
  • Added "Skybox/Procedural" shader that allows setting up simple skies with ease.
  • Built-in Skybox shaders support HDR (RGBM encoded) textures.
  • Skybox materials can be assigned by drag-and-drop on the background in the Scene View.
  • Improved inspector preview & thumbnails of Skybox materials.
  • Default ambient has different sky/equator/ground colors.
  • Ability to match ambient to a skybox, and optionally extract directional light out of the skybox. (requires Pro)
  • Improved RenderSettings inspector in general; and renamed menu entry to "Scene Render Settings".
  • New "Deferred Shading" rendering path:
  • Single pass, multiple-rendertarget g-buffer shading.
  • Fully supported by the new Standard shader.
  • Overriding of DeferredShading (and DeferredLighting) shaders is in the UI now, under GraphicsSettings. Possible to even exclude the shaders from game build, in case you don't need them at all.
  • Surface shaders can generate code for new Deferred Shading rendering path. All 4.x builtin shaders got support for that. Note: currently does not take full advantage of deferred shading g-buffer data; will be improved.
  • Improved and extended cubemap workflow:
  • Renamed “Reflection” texture import type to “Cubemap”. Automatic detection of the mapping mode for spherical, cylindrical and 6 image layouts; removed 2 obscure spherical mappings which were rarely used.
  • Textures imported as cubemaps can use texture compression now!
  • Added specular and diffuse convolution options to cubemap textures.
  • Cubemap inspector was improved, can now show alpha channel & mipmaps properly; also understands RGBM encoded HDR cubemaps.
  • Improved seamless edge fixup.
  • Moved Cubemap menu entry from Assets into Assets | Legacy.
  • Meshes:
  • More than two UV coordinates! Up to 4 UVs are imported from model files; and Mesh class gained uv3 & uv4.
  • Non-uniformly scaled meshes no longer incur any memory cost or performance hit. Instead of being scaled on the CPU they are scaled and lit correctly in shaders.
  • MeshRenderer has a new additionalMesh property which lets you specify per-instance mesh data overrides. For example just color channels for one instance. This is currently used by Enlighten for per-instance UVs.
  • SpeedTree integration:
  • SpeedTree models (.SPM files) now can be recognized, imported and rendered by Unity. The workflow is very similar to other mesh formats like FBX.
  • SpeedTree features like smooth LOD transition, billboards, wind animation and physics colliders are fully supported.
  • SpeedTree models are selectable as tree prototypes on terrain.
  • Frame Debugger. See how exactly frame is rendered by stepping through draw calls. See http://blogs.unity3d.com/2014/07/29/frame-debugger-in-unity-5-0/ (requires Unity Pro).
  • Added scriptable "Command Buffers" for more extensible rendering pipeline:
  • Create command buffers ("draw mesh, set render target, ...") from a script, and set them up to be executed from inside camera rendering.
  • Command buffers can be executed from a bunch of places during rendering, e.g. immediately after deferred G-buffer; or right after skybox; etc. See UnityEngine.Rendering.CommandBuffer class.
  • Shadows: Added PCF (5x5) filtering for soft directional light shadows:
  • Pick it in Quality Settings.
  • We're considering maybe replacing the old "screenspace blur" with 5x5 PCF as the only built-in option, so feedback is welcome!
  • Shadows: in Forward rendering, directional light shadows are computed from camera's depth texture instead of a separate "shadow collector" rendering pass. Saves a bunch of draw calls, especially when depth texture is needed for other things anyway:
  • This means that LightType=ShadowCollector shader passes aren't used for anything; you can just remove them if you had any.
  • Camera’s DepthTexture is not generated using shader replacement anymore. Now it is generated using same shaders as used for shadowmap rendering (ShadowCaster pass types). Camera-DepthTexture.shader is not used for anything now.
  • Shaders: Build-time stripping of unused shader features, and shader variant compilation improvements:
  • Added #pragma shader_feature; very similar to multi_compile but unused ones are removed from the game builds. That is, if none of the materials use a particular shader feature variant, shader code for it is not included into game data.
  • #pragma shader_feature can be provided just one parameter, e.g. #pragma shader_feature FANCY_ON. This expands to two shader variants (first without the parameter, and second with the parameter defined).
  • Can specify vertex- or fragment-only shader variants. For example, #pragma shader_feature_vertex A B C will add 3x more shader variants, but to vertex shader only.
  • Underscore-only names in shader_feature and multi_compile are treated as "dummy" and don't consume shader keyword names.
  • Build-time stripping of unused lightmap shader variants. E.g. if you don't use directional lightmaps in any of your scenes, then shader variants that handle directional lightmaps will be removed from game build data. No need to manually add "nolightmap" and friends to shader code now.
  • Shaders: Single CGPROGRAM block can target multiple "shader models" at once. For example, you can base it for SM2.0, but have fancier multi_compile variants that require SM3.0. Syntax:
  • #pragma target 3.0 // base is SM3.0
  • #pragma target 4.0 FOO BAR // FOO or BAR require SM4.0
  • Shaders: Custom Shader GUI can now be defined by implementing the IShaderGUI interface instead of deriving from MaterialEditor. Using this approach makes the custom shader GUI show within the inspector for Substance materials.
  • Shaders: Massively improved shader loading performance, and reduced memory consumption:
  • By default, internal shader variants are only loaded when actually needed (typically a lot of shader variants are never actually needed).
  • Added ShaderVariantCollection asset type for ability to manually preload/warmup shader variants, to avoid hiccups later on. This is like Shader.WarmupAllShaders, done in a better way.
  • Editor can track shaders & their variants used in scene or play mode, and create ShaderVariantCollection out of them (button in Graphics Settings).
  • Graphics Settings have a list of ShaderVariantCollection assets to preload at game startup. Can also warmup them from a script.
  • Animation Features:
  • State Machine Behaviours:
  • StateMachineBehaviours is a new MonoBehaviour-like Component that can be added to a StateMachine state to attach callbacks
  • Available callbacks are : OnStateEnter, OnStateExit, OnStateUpdate, OnStateMove and OnStateIK.
  • Animator.GetBehaviour(). This function return the first StateMachineBehaviour that match type T
  • StateMachine Transitions:
  • Can now add higher level transitions from StateMachine to StateMachine
  • Entry and Exit nodes define how the StateMachine behaves upon entering and exiting.
  • Asset API:
  • Allows to create and edit, in Editor, all types of Mecanim assets ( Controllers, StateMachines, BlendTree etc.)
  • Added API for Avatar, Motion Nodes, Events and Curve in the Model Importer
  • Direct Blend Tree:
  • New type of blend tree to control the weight of each child independently
  • Root Motion authoring:
  • Can convert animation on the parent transform into Root Motion (Delta Animation)
  • Animator Tool revamp:
  • Improved workflow
  • Re-orderable layers and parameters
  • Transition interruption source:
  • Replaces the Atomic setting on transitions. You can now decide if a transition is interrupted by transitions in the source state, the destination state or both.
  • Also possible to be interrupted by transitions independently of their order by disabling "ordered interruption" setting on transitions.
  • Added Animator Gizmo that show up upon selection: you can see effectors, mass center, avatar root and pivot.
  • IK Hint for knees and elbows.
  • Improved animation previewer camera:
  • Camera can now Pan, Orbit and Scale with the same control than the scene viewer.
  • The camera can also frame on the previewed Object with shortcut F and frame on the cursor position with shortcut G.
  • AnimationEvents are now fully editable at runtime, see AnimationClip.events to query, add and delete them at runtime
  • Keep last evaluated value when a property stops to be animated:
  • Activated per State
  • By default it is writing default value when a property stops to be evaluated
  • Linear Velocity Blending:
  • Advanced feature for users requiring linear speed interpolation during blending.
  • Root Motion Speed and Angular Speed now blend linearly in Blend Trees, Transition or Layers
  • Choose between Linear Velocity Blending or Linear Position Blending in Animator with animator.linearVelocityBlending. It is false by default.
  • You can now get Animator root motion velocity and angular velocity with animator.velocity and animator.angularVelocity
  • Audio Features:
  • Added a new AudioMixer asset type! Create one or more AudioMixers in a project:
  • Use the Audio Mixer window to create complex mixing hierarchies and effect processing chains.
  • Mix and master all audio within Unity by tweaking all parameters during edit mode and play mode.
  • VU meters for the outputs of all AudioGroup and at attenuation points within the AudioGroup.
  • Allow AudioSources to route their signal into any AudioMixer.
  • The audio output of one AudioMixer can be routed into any AudioGroup of any other AudioMixer, allowing complex re-configurable Audio processing.
  • Audio "Sends" and "Receives" can be inserted anywhere into the signal chain of an AudioGroup.
  • The attenuation of an AudioGroup can be applied at any point in the AudioGroup (allowing pre and post fader effects).
  • Snapshots of mixer state (on all parameters) can be created for AudioMixers. These snapshots can be interpolated between during play through a set of per-parameter transition curves.
  • Snapshots can also be weighted blended (2 or more snapshots).
  • Any parameter (volume / pitch / effect parameter etc) can be exposed via a name to the runtime API allowing very precise tweaking of any parameter in a mixer during game play.
  • Mixer "Views" can be created so that complex mixer hierarchies can be narrowed down in the GUI allowing focus on tweaking certain parts of the mix (music / foley / etc).
  • AudioGroups can be Soloed, Muted and have their effects bypassed.
  • Built-in side-chain volume ducking.
  • Support for custom high-performance native audio plugins through a new SDK.
  • Rewritten Audio asset pipeline and AudioClip backend:
  • AudioClip settings now support multi-editing.
  • Audio transcoding and packing now happens in a separate tool, removing risk of crashing Unity on import.
  • No double loading of sounds during import processing.
  • Better handling of huge audio files. If a sound is set to streaming, it is never fully loaded in the editor or player now.
  • Editor profiling of Audio is now accurate and reflects how it would be in the game.
  • Streaming (file handle) resources are now freed immediately after playback of sound.
  • Much improved audio formats in terms of memory and CPU usage. The Format property no longer refers to a specific platform-specific file format, but to a encoding method (Uncompressed, Compressed, ADPCM).
  • The audio data of an AudioClip can now be loaded on demand by scripts, and loading can happen in the background without blocking the main game thread. Memory management can now be performed much easier of AudioClips in the project.
  • Improved Audio Profiler with better statistics and detailed information. To view it, open the Profiler window, click the Audio pane and press the Stats button.
  • Physics Features:
  • PhysX 3 integration:
  • Better perfomance on multi-core processors, and especially on mobile. See http://physxinfo.com/news/11297/the-evolution-of-physx-sdk-performance-wise/
  • Moving static colliders does not cause performance penalty anymore.
  • Better simulation quality, e.g. stacking stability.
  • Cleaner codebase, which does not contain some of the long standing issues.
  • See http://blogs.unity3d.com/2014/07/08/high-performance-physics-in-unity-5/
  • 2D physics:
  • Added ConstantForce2D component.
  • Added PointEffector2D, AreaEffector2D, PlatformEffector2D and SurfaceEffector2D components.
  • Added Physics2D.IsTouching and Collider2D.IsTouching methods.

  • Shaders: Surface shaders allow more texture interpolators, when targeting shader model 4.0+ (up to 32).
  • Shaders: Surface shaders use up slightly less samplers on DX11-like platforms (in dual lightmapping case, both lightmaps share the same sampler). Added UNITY_SAMPLE_TEX2D_SAMPLER helper macro to read a texture, while using sampler from another one.

  • AI: NavMeshObstacle supports two basic shapes - Capsule and Box, for both carving and avoidance.
  • AI: Setting destination on a NavMeshAgent doesn't resume the agent after calling 'Stop' - call Resume explicitly to resume the agent.
  • AI: Use smaller navmesh tile partitioning to improve baking and carving speed.
  • Android: Dropped support for non-NEON CPU devices (e.g. Tegra 2). This gives a significant performance boost to Mecanim and PhysX among other things.

  • Editor: Apply build target switch from -buildTarget before initial domain load.
  • Editor: Editor always runs in background when a debugger is attached.
  • Editor: If standalone is current build target, do a full build target switch when setting EditorUserBuildSettings.selectedStandaloneTarget.

  • Graphics: Camera.pixelWidth and Camera.pixelHeight now return int, not float.
  • Graphics: Changed behavior of what happens with textures that are too large for the GPU to handle, and they don't have mipmaps. Now such textures are displayed in blue color. Before, some platforms were downscaling them in some cases; other platforms were leaving them as garbage; others were crashing.
  • Graphics: Light and Reflection Probes are enabled on Renderer components by default.
  • Graphics: OnPreRender script callback is called before rendering camera's depth texture now.
  • Graphics: Made SystemInfo.graphicsPixelFillrate obsolete (it was not being maintained to cover new GPUs, and was not working on most platforms anyway). Now it always returns -1, just like it used to for unknown GPUs.
  • Graphics: Renamed HDR_LIGHT_PREPASS_ON shader keyword to UNITY_HDR_ON (now the keyword is always set when camera is HDR).
  • Graphics: Renamed VertexLit and DeferredLighting rendering paths to "Legacy" names.
  • Graphics: Setting Mesh.colors keeps the colors in float format instead of converting to bytes. This allows you to store higher-precision color values on meshes. Note that it will use more memory so if that is a concern use Mesh.colors32 instead.
  • iOS: ARC is enabled.
  • iOS: Refactor player pausing in the trampoline
  • iOS: Trampoline now uses clang standard library, C++11 is enabled, iOS7 SDK and Xcode5 are enforced, iOS6 is the minimal version supported.

  • Terrain: Terrain component was moved from being a C# component to being a native engine component.
  • Windows Store Apps: Added UnityEngine.WSA.Application.advertisingIdentifier
  • Windows Store Apps: 'Metro' keyword was replaced to 'WSA' in most APIs, for ex., BuildTarget.MetroPlayer became BuildTarget.WSAPlayer, PlayerSettings.Metro became PlayerSettings.WSA. Defines in scripts like UNITY_METRO, UNITY_METRO_8_0, UNITY_METRO_8_1 are still there, but along them there will be defines UNITY_WSA, UNITY_WSA_8_0, UNITY_WSA_8_1.
  • Windows Store Apps: Removed support for C++ Visual Studio projects
  • Graphics: Removed a bunch of obsolete APIs:
  • Camera.mainCamera (use Camera.main), Camera.GetScreenWidth (use Screen.width), Camera.GetScreenHeight (use Screen.height), Camera.DoClear, Camera.isOrthoGraphic (use Camera.orthographic), Camera.orthoGraphicSize (use Camera.orthographicSize).
  • Renderer.Render, Graphics.SetupVertexLights, obsolete Graphics.DrawMesh overloads (use DrawMeshNow), RenderTexture.SetBorderColor, Screen.GetResolution (use currentResolution), Mesh.uv1 (use uv2 instead), SkinnedMeshRenderer.skinNormals, LightmapData.lightmap (use lightmapFar instead).
  • Removed SystemInfo properties deviceName, deviceVendor, deviceVersion and supportsVertexProgram. Use graphicsDeviceName, graphicsDeviceVendor, graphicsDeviceVersion instead. Vertex programs are always supported.
  • Scripting: A bunch of scripting changes. Most of them should be handled automatically by our new API upgrade tool:
  • Removed quick property accessors, like .rigidBody, .rigidbody2D, .camera, .light, .animation, .constantForce, .renderer, .audio, .networkView, .guiTexture, .collider, .collider2D, .particleSystem, .particleEmitter, .guiText, .hingeJoint for modularization. Instead, use GetComponent to get references.
  • AddComponent(string) is removed. Use AddComponent() instead.
  • GetComponent(string) is removed. use GetComponent() instead.
  • Application.RegisterLogCallback() and RegisterLogCallbackThreaded() have been deprecated and replaced by two new events Application.logMessageReceived and Application.logMessageReceivedThreaded. This allows for multiple subscribers.
  • GameObject.SampleAnimation() moved to AnimationClip.SampleObject().
  • ParticleSystem.safeCollisionEventSize changed to ParticleSystem.GetSafeCollisionEventSize().
  • TerrainData.physicMaterial changed to TerrainData.GetPhysicMaterial() and TerrainData.SetPhysicMaterial().
  • Deprecated Component.active property has been removed.
  • AssetBundle:
  • Rename AssetBundle.Load***() to AssetBundle.LoadAsset***().
  • Rename AssetBundle.LoadAll() to AssetBundle.LoadAllAssets().
  • Provide AssetBundle.LoadAllAssetsAsync() which loads all assets asynchronously.
  • Provide AssetBundle.LoadAssetWithSubAssets***() which loads the asset with the sub assets.
  • Provide AssetBundle.AllAssetNames() to return all the assets in the assetBundle.
  • Shadows:
  • Shadows on D3D9 require "native shadowmap" support in the driver now (pretty much all systems that can do shadows have that, so this should be fairly invisible). Upside, less shader variants are included into game builds now.
  • Shadows on iOS+GLES2.0 require GL_EXT_shadow_samplers now. This means iPhone4 / iPodTouch4 will not support realtime shadows now. Upside, less shader variants and faster shader loading times.
  • Shaders: Removed some fixed-function shader features (use vertex & fragment shaders instead). This makes per-draw-call CPU overhead slightly lower across all platforms:
  • Removed TexGen. If you have old Projector shaders, they might be using this; upgrade to 4.5/5.0 projector shaders.
  • Removed texture combiner matrix transforms, i.e. "matrix" command inside a SetTexture.
  • Removed signed add (a+-b), multiply signed add (ab+-c), multiply subtract (ab-c), dot product (dot3, dot3rgba) SetTexture combiner modes.
  • SetTexture stage count is limited to 4 on all platforms.
  • Shaders: Fog handling in shaders was changed.
  • For surface shaders and fixed function shaders, nothing to do. Can add "nofog" to surface shader #pragma line to explicitly make it not support fog.
  • For manual vertex/fragment shaders, fog does not happen automagically now. You need to add #pragma multi_compile_fog and fog handling macros to your shader code. Check out built-in shader source, for example Unlit-Normal how to do it.
  • Shaders: Some shader compilers have changed:
  • Mixing partially fixed function & partially programmable shaders (e.g. fixed function verted lighting & pixel shader; or a vertex shader and texture combiners) is not supported anymore. It was never working on mobile, consoles or DirectX 11 anyway. This required changing behaviour of Reflective/VertexLit shader to not do that - it lost per-vertex specular support; on the plus side it now behaves consistently between platforms.
  • Direct3D 9 shader compiler was switched from Cg 2.2 to HLSL, the same compiler that's used for D3D11. This fixes a bunch of issues where Cg was generating invalid D3D9 shader assembly code; and generally produces slightly more efficient shaders. However, HLSL is slightly more picky about syntax; in general you have to do same shader fixes for D3D9 as for D3D11 now (e.g. UNITY_INITIALIZE_OUTPUT for “out” structures).
  • On desktop OpenGL, shaders are always compiled into GLSL instead of ARB_vertex/fragment_program target now. You no longer need to write "#pragma glsl" to get to features like vertex textures or derivative instructions. All support for ARB_vertex/fragment_programs is removed.

New in Unity 4.5.0 (May 27, 2014)

  • FEATURES:
  • Graphics features:
  • Added Sparse Texture support (also known as "mega textures" or "tiled textures"). This is a low-level API feature, see SparseTexture class. Implemented on DirectX 11.2 (via tiled resources) and desktop OpenGL (via ARB_sparse_texture).
  • Added stereoscopic rendering on DX 11.1 (requires Windows 8.1 and compatible hardware).
  • Introduced support for OpenGL ES 3.0 on iOS devices (starting with A7 devices).
  • Graphics: Support for 3D textures in OpenGL ES 3.0.
  • Shader importing has been massively improved:
  • Shaders are imported much faster, especially complex surface shaders. Instead of compiling all shader variants for all possible platforms at import time, now the needed shader variants for needed platforms are compiled on-demand. Shader compilation results are cached under Library folder, so identical compilations happen much faster.
  • Error reporting was improved. Errors are reported on correct lines (imagine that!), and errors in .cginc files report the filename.
  • Surface shader debugging was improved. No more "#pragma debug" nonsense; just click "Show generated code" in the inspector.
  • Module Manager:
  • Introduced Module Manager with updatable platform support. iOS, Android, Windows Phone 8, Blackberry Unity add ons can be updated without downloading full editor installer. Accessed through Modules menu, next to Preferences menu.
  • Editor features:
  • New Hierarchy Window sorting - sorting of elements is now based on transform order instead of name.
  • Introduced new editor API AssetDatabase.FindAssets (string filter, string[] folders). Search the Asset Database for assets by filename, type and asset label. See documentation for more information.
  • Added Selection.assetGUIDs for getting the current selected assets in the Project Browser. It also returns the folder selection in the first column in the Project Browser (in Two Column mode) which is not part of the main selection.
  • 2D Physics features:
  • Added 2D Joint Gizmos.
  • Added new 2D physics component: WheelJoint2D.
  • Unity Remote upgrade:
  • Unity Remote 4 is our play testing solution for iOS and Android. As of Unity 4.5, there’ll be no more Wifi latency when playtesting your games on iOS devices. Plus, we’ve added support for the full range of iOS device inputs including accelerometers, gyroscopes and camera images. Unity Remote 4 is available free of charge from Google Play and the App Store.
  • Mecanim features:
  • Added CanTransitionToSelf option on AnyState Transitions.
  • Added new scripting function Animator.Rebind(). You can use this function to manually rebind the animator data set to unity when you change something in your GameObject hierarchy.
  • For humanoid rigs, in the importer, you can specify a transform node that will be used as root motion for an animation clip. The transform node will replace the automatically extracted root motion computed by Mecanim. (Pro Only).
  • Other features:
  • Scripting: Introduced DisallowMultipleComponentAttribute for disallowing multiple components of the same type being added to a single GameObject.
  • Scripting: Add UnityEngine.ISerializationCallbackReceiver interface, to get a callback right before serialisation and right after deserialization.

  • Substance: Alpha channel generation can now be explicitly disabled for ProceduralMaterials in order to use runtime DXT1/ETC compression or to bake DXT1/ETC/RGB24 bitmaps.
  • Substance: Baked ProceduralTextures are now created from full RGBA32 data instead of pre-existing (and potentially already compressed) editor data.
  • Substance: Decreased memory consumption in the editor.
  • Substance: Lower peak memory footprint when generating textures for materials that were queued roughly at the same time.
  • Substance: Material thumbnails are now listed in the static preview in the same 'semantically correct' order they appear in the SubstanceImporterInspector.
  • Substance: Mipmap generation can now be disabled (the default is 'enabled').
  • Substance: Outputs tagged as "Specular" will automatically map to the _SpecTex shader property if present.

  • Windows Store Apps: AppCallbacks::UnitySetInput() made safe for multiple invocations.
  • Windows Store Apps: ComputeBuffer.SetData will work correctly.
  • Windows Store Apps: If running other OS than Windows 8/8.1, reports it as "Unknown Windows version ()" rather than hardcoded "Windows 8"/"Windows 8.1".
  • Windows Store Apps: NativeRenderPlugin example now properly works on Windows Store Apps.
  • Windows Store Apps: Removed splash screen after the first frame is drawn.

  • Windows Store Apps/WP8: Better handling of managed objects, causes less pressure to Garbage Collection.
  • WWW: All POST requests now automatically include an x-unity-version header with the version of the Unity runtime making the request.
  • CHANGES:
  • 2D: Atlas packer DefaultPackerPolicy will now pack Sprites as rectangles unless packing tags begin with "[TIGHT]". The new TightPackerPolicy will tightly pack Sprites with a Tight Mesh unless packing tags begin with "[RECT]".
  • 2D: Sprite Packer is no longer a preview feature.

  • Added a new asset type: Sprite
  • Sprite is defined by a Texture2D, rectangle and a pivot point.
  • Sprite has an internal mesh generated based on pixel alpha values, PRO only feature.
  • Sprite supports vertex snapping (V)
  • Added Sprite under the "GameObject/Create Other/" menu.
  • Sprite Mode added to TextureImporter
  • Single Sprite option will generate one Sprite using the entire texture.
  • Pixels to Units defines the mesh size of the Sprite to 1 / value.
  • Pivot property defines sprites center point.
  • Manual option allows custom Sprite definitions.
  • Sprite Editor button opens new window for editing sprites: Add / Delete sprites manually; Automatic and Grid based slicing; Change sprite names.
  • Extrude Edges property added to Advanced mode. It can be used to extrude the internal sprite mesh edges if needed for custom texture-space effects.
  • Mesh Type property added to Advanced mode. It can be used to change the type of mesh generated: Full Rect or Tight (PRO only feature).
  • Added a new renderer component: SpriteRenderer
  • Renders one Sprite.
  • Does not requires a material to have _MainTex texture set.
  • Uses Material Property Blocks to patch _MainTex with the correct (original or atlased) texture for the active Sprite.
  • Supports dynamic batching with non-uniform scaling.
  • Color property sets the vertex color.
  • If no material is specified, Sprites/Default material (alpha-blended) is used.
  • Added 2D mode button to scene view
  • Scene view axis widget is hidden on 2D mode
  • Scene view locks to the XY plane.
  • Move tool changes to a dedicated 2D tool with familiar functionality.
  • Move tool have special Keyboard modifiers
  • Picking is now alpha-based.
  • Dragging a sprite to the scene will create a new GameObject with a SpriteRenderer.
  • Dragging multiple sprites to scene will create a new GameObject with a SpriteRenderer and sprite animation.
  • Sprite Packing (Atlasing), PRO only feature
  • Atlas is defined by changing the PackingTag property in texture importer.
  • Packing is based on the generated mesh.
  • Packing will respect texture import settings and will only pack textures together if format, usage mode, color mode, compression quality, filter mode and mip-map settings match.
  • Window/Sprite Packer menu option opens a new window for inspecting the automatically generated sprite atlases.
  • Decision of which sprites to place into which atlases can be fully customized by implementing a custom sprite packer policy (UnityEditor.Sprites.IPackerPolicy).
  • Packing is completely transparent to the user, works in Play mode and is compatible with asset bundles.
  • Integrated Box2D physics engine and a set of 2D physics components
  • Rigid-body component (RigidBody2D) supporting static/kinematic/dynamic body, mass, linear/angular velocities, drag and auto-sleeping, and fixed-angle constraint.
  • Circle collider (CircleCollider2D) supporting a centroid and radius.
  • Box collider (BoxCollider2D) supporting a centroid and a size.

  • Added spatial queries in Physics2D scripting class for line and ray-casting and geometry overlap checks.
  • Added both trigger and collision callbacks for 2D colliders including collision points and normal.
  • Added 2D physics profiling information to the profiler.
  • Editor: Hold down shift to quickly modify 2D colliders.
  • Animation Features:
  • New Animation Window has arrived
  • Heavily influenced by the standard "dope sheets".
  • Only animated properties are shown in the property view (left side of the window).
  • Sprite animation is possible by animating the SpriteRendrerer component.
  • Sprites are shown in the dopesheet when SpriteRenderer is unfolded from the left side property view.
  • 'Add Curve' menu added. Shows all properties that can be animated on selected GameObject.
  • Animation Window now supports Mecanim. Animations can be added to the animator controller from the Animation window. Animations can be modified in the AnimationWindow too.
  • Added 'Curves' button to menu bar. Changes between dopesheet and curve editor. 'C' key assigned for keyboard shortcut
  • Added 'Samples' field to menu bar. Changes clip sample value per second.
  • Added toggle field for animating boolean properties. Created boolean curves use 'Constant' as default key tangent.
  • 'F' will focus on whole clip, or shown curves, if nothing is selected
  • Mecanim improvements
  • Add a new option "Optimize Game Objects" in ModelImporter inspector. In short, this makes character rigs much faster.
  • When turned on, the game object transform hierarchy of the imported character will be removed and is instead stored in the Avatar and Animator component.
  • The SkinnedMeshRenderers of the character will then directly use the Mecanim internal skeleton, so that we can get rid of all the Transforms which used to be there, representing all the bones.
  • This option will improve the performance of the animated characters. It is recommended to turn it on for the final product. In optimized mode skinned mesh matrix extraction is also multithreaded.
  • When "Optimize Game Objects" is turned on, the user can specify a list of "Extra Transforms to Expose" in ModelImporter inspector. For example, if you want to attach a sword to the right hand, this acts as a mount point. The exposed transform is flattened in the game object hierarchy, even though it might be somewhere deep in skeleton hierarchy.
  • Mecanim supports animating any property including blend shapes properties, camera properties, script float properties, lights and most other float properties on components.
  • Support for events! Events are created in the animation window for writable Animation Clips attach to an Animator. Can also add AnimationEvents directly in the animation importer.
  • Various performance optimizations, especially in regards to generic mode.
  • Added Animator.Play and Animator.CrossFade scripting functions. These functions allow you at runtime to transition to any state in your controller.
  • Added AnimatorOverrideController, an AnimatorOverrideController allow you to override any clip from a controller with another one.
  • Loop time vs Loop pose, When an animation clip is already looping, no need to activate Loop Pose, Loop Time will make clip looping without modifying the pose.
  • Trigger parameter, a trigger is a boolean parameter that is reset by the controller when consumed by a transition.
  • Editor Features:
  • Editor Controls Overhaul
  • LookLikeControls and LookLikeInspector have been replaced with a single unified look.
  • New look has consistent styles, indentation and layout.
  • Keyboard navigation now works for all components and is improved for sliders and object fields.
  • The Inspector has a new Wide Mode that places controls in a more neatly aligned and vertically compact way.
  • Easier to write Editor GUI with consistent alignment.
  • Relevant new API:
  • EditorGUIUtility.labelWidth and EditorGUIUtility.fieldWidth replaces the parameters in the now obsolete EditorGUIUtility.LookLikeControls function.
  • EditorGUI.PrefixLabel has a new overload that doesn't need an id parameter.
  • EditorGUILayout.GetControlRect is the best way to get a Rect for a standard sized Editor control.
  • Other Editor Features
  • Unity now ships with a brand new MonoDevelop 4.0.1!
  • Ability to build iOS target in Windows! It's still necessary to compile resulting Xcode project on a Mac.
  • Added global SortingLayers (see Tags & Layers window). Every Renderer can specify a layer and an in-layer order value for explicit ordering using. SpriteRenderer inspector exposes the two properties.
  • Layer locking for scene view. The layers dropdown in editor toolbar controls visibility or locking of layers (and locking of the new Sorting Layers). Locked layers are visible, but aren't pickable in the scene view.
  • Undo has been optimized for large scenes. Full scene undo support has been removed, all undo operations save only the necessary objects. SnapshotUndo support has been deprecated, instead Undo.RecordObject is to be used for all property modifications. Undo API has been revamped to make it clearer what functions should be used now.
  • Added a "Default behavior" property to Editor Properties to control default texture import behavior and default scene view mode.
  • Added an option to the new project wizard to select default editor behavior (2D/3D).
  • BuildPipeline methods now have parameters to output CRC checksums of generated AssetBundles.
  • New Highlighter editor API for highlighting elements in the editor. Useful for in-editor tutorials and similar.
  • Asset Pipeline: Only new assets or assets where the actual content has change will get imported. Changing the time stamp of an asset will no longer cause a reimport.
  • Asset Pipeline: .meta files are now always turned on. From Project Settings -> Editor you can choose to hide them if you are not using version control.
  • Added ability to specify external script editor's args, including file and line info. (Windows editor only).
  • Graphics Features:
  • Blendshapes
  • Unity now supports blendshapes (also known as "morph targets").
  • You can drive the blendshapes using name based binding from Mecanim or legacy animation system.
  • Blendshape curves are imported from FBX files, but you can also record them in the animation window.
  • Culling in Unity has been rewritten
  • Now it's much faster across the board. Umbra occlusion culling is used to cull away point lights that don't contribute to the final image; and to drastically reduce number of shadow casters from directional lights.
  • Umbra: Incremental baking of occlusion culling data.
  • Umbra: Portal culling occluder rasterization has been greatly optimized.
  • Umbra: PVS culling has been removed. Occluder rasterization is always used because PVS often gave to inaccurate results and bake times were huge.
  • Umbra: Directional shadow caster occlusion culling drastically reduces the amount of directional shadow casting objects to be rendered.
  • Umbra: Point light occlusion culling and connectivity tests are used to remove local lights that do not contribute to the final image.
  • Vertex point lights that are outside of the frustum are faded out with the range of the light.
  • General culling performance optimizations, by optimizing data layout, code optimizations etc.
  • Other graphics features
  • Deferred: A number of light rendering optimizations for deferred rendering, making the light pass faster. Side effect is that only up to 4 bits of the stencil buffer are left available, instead of up to 5.
  • Render Texture improvements:
  • Added Camera.SetTargetBuffers for multiple render target (MRT) support.
  • Ability to render into a specified mip level of a RenderTexture. Create a mipmapped RT, turn off automatic mip generation with RenderTexture. generateMips=false; and use new Graphics.SetRenderTarget overloads to specify mip level to render into.
  • Ability to render into a speficied cubemap RenderTexture face; new overload in Graphics.SetRenderTarget. Added SystemInfo.supportsRenderToCubemap.
  • Graphics: Added Mesh.UploadMeshData, to trigger VBO creation and possibly system-side copy unload.
  • MaterialPropertyBlock got improved:
  • Added Renderer.GetPropertyBlock, and MaterialPropertyBlock GetVector,GetFloat etc. functions.
  • MaterialPropertyBlocks can have texture properties now.
  • Objects with custom material property blocks (renderer.SetPropertyBlock) can be batched now, if their properties are the same.
  • Terrain: Optimized terrain rendering and reduced memory usage.
  • Android: Enabled multi-threaded rendering on OpenGL ES 2.0 and 3.0. This takes advantage of asynchronous multiprocessing architectures like Qualcomm Snapdragon CPUs and enables more efficient rendering of both OpenGLES 2.0 and 3.0, both currently supported on Adreno GPUs.
  • Android: ASTC (Adaptive Scalable Texture Compression) format support.
  • Improved system memory usage of statically batched geometry.
  • It is now possible to set the fade time on flares. This changes how fast a flare will fade in or out when appearing or disappearing from the screen.
  • Added Texture2D.LoadRawTextureData for loading already-made (e.g. DXT/PVRTC compressed) raw data.
  • Allow for overriding Hidden/Internal-Flare, Hidden/Internal-Halo and Hidden/Internal-CombineDepthNormals shaders.
  • Added Max Particles script binding to Shuriken particle systems.
  • Dynamic batching support for point, line, and quad mesh topologies.
  • Added support for some DirectX 11.1 features (low precision shader variables, UAVs in all shader stages, logical blending operations etc.); note this works on DX11.1 runtime only (Windows 8 and up).
  • Exposed Light.cookieSize to scripts.
  • Shader related features
  • Material.renderQueue is serialized now. You can change it from custom inspector or script, and it will be saved.
  • Most of fixed function states (like blend, cull, depth test, stencil modes; polygon offsets etc.) can be driven by material parameters now. For example "Blend [MySrcBlend] [_MyDstBlend]", with _MySrcBlend and _MyDstBlend being float variables. See enums in UnityEngine.Rendering for the mode values. _Note: in this alpha, global shader properties can't drive be used for this.
  • MaterialPropertyDrawers, just like property drawers, but for shaders and material inspectors! e.g. you can do [MaterialToggle(FANCY_ON)] before a float shader property, and this will display it as a checkbox; and will enable FANCY_ON keyword when checked.
  • Added "by property ID" functions to set/get material properties; use Shader.PropertyToID to compute ID just once. No need to pass strings all the time.
  • By enabling SceneFX in the scene view materials in the viewport will update as they would at runtime (taking time into account).
  • Material inspectors now take time into account. Your materials will update in realtime in the inspector window.
  • Somewhat more sane error reporting - now gives hints in error messages about #pragma target 3.0 or #pragma glsl, and reports way less almost identical errors when you make typos.
  • Vertex lit shaders can access all 8 vertex light lights instead of only first 4 in custom shader programs. Also, spot light information (spot direction & spot attenuation) can be accessed.
  • Added Material.EnableKeyword and DisableKeyword.
  • Added Material.SetInt/GetInt, and Shader.SetGlobalInt. In ShaderLab Properties block, "Int" can be a property type similar to "Float". Note that all these are just aliases for floats.
  • Added ShaderUtil.CreateShaderAsset this takes a text shader and returns a compiled shader.
  • Features:
  • D3D11: Implemented Texture2D.CreateExternalTexture and Texture2D.UpdateExternalTexture

  • Mecanim: Moved Optimized transform hierarchy button from inspector to the context menu
  • Mecanim: AnimationSet renamed AnimatorOverrideController and derives from RuntimeAnimatorController.
  • Mecanim: Removed AnimationSet property from the Animator Component. AnimatorOverrideController derives from RuntimeAnimator it can be asigned directly to the Controller property of the Animator.

  • Graphics: Removed support for pre-DX9 GPUs on PC. That is, GPUs made before 2003 (NVIDIA), 2002 (AMD) and 2004 (Intel) will not be supported now.
  • Editor: Removed Unitron (Mac) and UniSciTE (Windows) script editors. The MonoDevelop we ship now is quite good already!
  • Culling: Support for Animation bounding volume culling has been removed. Unity will fall back to renderer based culling instead.
  • Improvements:
  • AI / NavMesh: Performance! Crowd update is multithreaded when there are more than 50 active navmesh agents - if supported by device.
  • AI / NavMesh: Obstacle carving support. NavMeshObstacle supports carving via the "Carve" flag on the component.

New in Unity 4.3.0 (Nov 18, 2013)

  • 2D:
  • Added a new asset type: Sprite
  • Sprite is defined by a Texture2D, rectangle and a pivot point.
  • Sprite has an internal mesh generated based on pixel alpha values, PRO only feature.
  • Sprite supports vertex snapping (V)
  • Added Sprite under the "GameObject/Create Other/" menu.
  • Sprite Mode added to TextureImporter
  • Single Sprite option will generate one Sprite using the entire texture.
  • Pixels to Units defines the mesh size of the Sprite to 1 / value.
  • Pivot property defines sprites center point.
  • Manual option allows custom Sprite definitions.
  • Sprite Editor button opens new window for editing sprites: Add / Delete sprites manually; Automatic and Grid based slicing; Change sprite names.
  • Extrude Edges property added to Advanced mode. It can be used to extrude the internal sprite mesh edges if needed for custom texture-space effects.
  • Mesh Type property added to Advanced mode. It can be used to change the type of mesh generated: Full Rect or Tight (PRO only feature).
  • Added a new renderer component: SpriteRenderer
  • Renders one Sprite.
  • Does not requires a material to have _MainTex texture set.
  • Uses Material Property Blocks to patch _MainTex with the correct (original or atlased) texture for the active Sprite.
  • Supports dynamic batching with non-uniform scaling.
  • Color property sets the vertex color.
  • If no material is specified, Sprites/Default material (alpha-blended) is used.
  • Added 2D mode button to scene view
  • Scene view axis widget is hidden on 2D mode
  • Scene view locks to the XY plane.
  • Move tool changes to a dedicated 2D tool with familiar functionality.
  • Move tool have special Keyboard modifiers
  • Picking is now alpha-based.
  • Dragging a sprite to the scene will create a new GameObject with a SpriteRenderer.
  • Dragging multiple sprites to scene will create a new GameObject with a SpriteRenderer and sprite animation.
  • Sprite Packing (Atlasing), PRO only feature
  • Atlas is defined by changing the PackingTag property in texture importer.
  • Packing is based on the generated mesh.
  • Packing will respect texture import settings and will only pack textures together if format, usage mode, color mode, compression quality, filter mode and mip-map settings match.
  • Window/Sprite Packer menu option opens a new window for inspecting the automatically generated sprite atlases.
  • Decision of which sprites to place into which atlases can be fully customized by implementing a custom sprite packer policy (UnityEditor.Sprites.IPackerPolicy).
  • Packing is completely transparent to the user, works in Play mode and is compatible with asset bundles.
  • Integrated Box2D physics engine and a set of 2D physics components
  • Rigid-body component (RigidBody2D) supporting static/kinematic/dynamic body, mass, linear/angular velocities, drag and auto-sleeping, and fixed-angle constraint.
  • Circle collider (CircleCollider2D) supporting a centroid and radius.

  • Added both trigger and collision callbacks for 2D colliders including collision points and normal.
  • Added 2D physics profiling information to the profiler.
  • Editor: Hold down shift to quickly modify 2D colliders.
  • Animation Features:
  • New Animation Window has arrived
  • Heavily influenced by the standard "dope sheets".
  • Only animated properties are shown in the property view (left side of the window).
  • Sprite animation is possible by animating the SpriteRendrerer component.
  • Sprites are shown in the dopesheet when SpriteRenderer is unfolded from the left side property view.
  • 'Add Curve' menu added. Shows all properties that can be animated on selected GameObject.
  • Animation Window now supports Mecanim. Animations can be added to the animator controller from the Animation window. Animations can be modified in the AnimationWindow too.
  • Added 'Curves' button to menu bar. Changes between dopesheet and curve editor. 'C' key assigned for keyboard shortcut
  • Added 'Samples' field to menu bar. Changes clip sample value per second.
  • Added toggle field for animating boolean properties. Created boolean curves use 'Constant' as default key tangent.
  • 'F' will focus on whole clip, or shown curves, if nothing is selected
  • Mecanim improvements
  • Add a new option "Optimize Game Objects" in ModelImporter inspector. In short, this makes character rigs much faster.
  • When turned on, the game object transform hierarchy of the imported character will be removed and is instead stored in the Avatar and Animator component.
  • The SkinnedMeshRenderers of the character will then directly use the Mecanim internal skeleton, so that we can get rid of all the Transforms which used to be there, representing all the bones.
  • This option will improve the performance of the animated characters. It is recommended to turn it on for the final product. In optimized mode skinned mesh matrix extraction is also multithreaded.
  • When "Optimize Game Objects" is turned on, the user can specify a list of "Extra Transforms to Expose" in ModelImporter inspector. For example, if you want to attach a sword to the right hand, this acts as a mount point. The exposed transform is flattened in the game object hierarchy, even though it might be somewhere deep in skeleton hierarchy.
  • Mecanim supports animating any property including blend shapes properties, camera properties, script float properties, lights and most other float properties on components.
  • Support for events! Events are created in the animation window for writable Animation Clips attach to an Animator. Can also add AnimationEvents directly in the animation importer.
  • Various performance optimizations, especially in regards to generic mode.
  • Added Animator.GotoState scripting function. This function allow you at runtime to transition to any state in your controller.
  • Added AnimationSet, an AnimationSet allow you to override any clip from a controller with another one.
  • Loop time vs Loop pose, When an animation clip is already looping, no need to activate Loop Pose, Loop Time will make clip looping without modifying the pose.
  • Trigger parameter, a trigger is a boolean parameter that is reset by the controller when consumed by a transition.
  • AnimatorStateRuntime that allows to modify, at runtime, the speed/ikOnFeet/mirror of a State.
  • Editor Features:
  • Editor Controls Overhaul
  • LookLikeControls and LookLikeInspector have been replaced with a single unified look.
  • New look has consistent styles, indentation and layout.
  • Keyboard navigation now works for all components and is improved for sliders and object fields.
  • The Inspector has a new Wide Mode that places controls in a more neatly aligned and vertically compact way.
  • Easier to write Editor GUI with consistent alignment.
  • Relevant new API:
  • EditorGUIUtility.labelWidth and EditorGUIUtility.fieldWidth replaces the parameters in the now obsolete EditorGUIUtility.LookLikeControls function.
  • EditorGUI.PrefixLabel has a new overload that doesn't need an id parameter.
  • EditorGUILayout.GetControlRect is the best way to get a Rect for a standard sized Editor control.
  • Other Editor Features
  • Unity now ships with a brand new MonoDevelop 4.0.1!
  • Ability to build iOS target in Windows! It's still necessary to compile resulting Xcode project on a Mac.
  • Added global SortingLayers (see Tags & Layers window). Every Renderer can specify a layer and an in-layer order value for explicit ordering using. SpriteRenderer inspector exposes the two properties.
  • Layer locking for scene view. The layers dropdown in editor toolbar controls visibility or locking of layers (and locking of the new Sorting Layers). Locked layers are visible, but aren't pickable in the scene view.
  • Undo has been optimized for large scenes. Full scene undo support has been removed, all undo operations save only the necessary objects. SnapshotUndo support has been deprecated, instead Undo.RecordObject is to be used for all property modifications. Undo API has been revamped to make it clearer what functions should be used now.
  • Added a "Default behavior" property to Editor Properties to control default texture import behavior and default scene view mode.
  • Added an option to the new project wizard to select default editor behavior (2D/3D).
  • BuildPipeline methods now have parameters to output CRC checksums of generated AssetBundles.
  • New Highlighter editor API for highlighting elements in the editor. Useful for in-editor tutorials and similar.
  • Asset Pipeline: Only new assets or assets where the actual content has change will get imported. Changing the time stamp of an asset will no longer cause a reimport.
  • Asset Pipeline: .meta files are now always turned on. From Project Settings -> Editor you can choose to hide them if you are not using version control.
  • Added ability to specify external script editor's args, including file and line info. (Windows editor only).
  • Graphics Features:
  • Blendshapes
  • Unity now supports blendshapes (also known as "morph targets").
  • You can drive the blendshapes using name based binding from Mecanim or legacy animation system.
  • Blendshape curves are imported from FBX files, but you can also record them in the animation window.
  • Culling in Unity has been rewritten
  • Now it's much faster across the board. Umbra occlusion culling is used to cull away point lights that don't contribute to the final image; and to drastically reduce number of shadow casters from directional lights.
  • Umbra: Incremental baking of occlusion culling data.
  • Umbra: Portal culling occluder rasterization has been greatly optimized.
  • Umbra: PVS culling has been removed. Occluder rasterization is always used because PVS often gave to inaccurate results and bake times were huge.
  • Umbra: Directional shadow caster occlusion culling drastically reduces the amount of directional shadow casting objects to be rendered.
  • Umbra: Point light occlusion culling and connectivity tests are used to remove local lights that do not contribute to the final image.
  • Vertex point lights that are outside of the frustum are faded out with the range of the light.
  • General culling performance optimizations, by optimizing data layout, code optimizations etc.
  • Other graphics features
  • Deferred: A number of light rendering optimizations for deferred rendering, making the light pass faster. Side effect is that only up to 4 bits of the stencil buffer are left available, instead of up to 5.
  • Render Texture improvements:
  • Added Camera.SetTargetBuffers for multiple render target (MRT) support.
  • Ability to render into a specified mip level of a RenderTexture. Create a mipmapped RT, turn off automatic mip generation with RenderTexture. generateMips=false; and use new Graphics.SetRenderTarget overloads to specify mip level to render into.
  • Ability to render into a speficied cubemap RenderTexture face; new overload in Graphics.SetRenderTarget. Added SystemInfo.supportsRenderToCubemap.
  • Graphics: Added Mesh.UploadMeshData, to trigger VBO creation and possibly system-side copy unload.
  • MaterialPropertyBlock got improved:
  • Added Renderer.GetPropertyBlock, and MaterialPropertyBlock GetVector,GetFloat etc. functions.
  • MaterialPropertyBlocks can have texture properties now.
  • Objects with custom material property blocks (renderer.SetPropertyBlock) can be batched now, if their properties are the same.
  • Terrain: Optimized terrain rendering and reduced memory usage.
  • Android: Enabled multi-threaded rendering on OpenGL ES 2.0 and 3.0. This takes advantage of asynchronous multiprocessing architectures like Qualcomm Snapdragon CPUs and enables more efficient rendering of both OpenGLES 2.0 and 3.0, both currently supported on Adreno GPUs.
  • Android: ASTC (Adaptive Scalable Texture Compression) format support.
  • Improved system memory usage of statically batched geometry.
  • It is now possible to set the fade time on flares. This changes how fast a flare will fade in or out when appearing or disappearing from the screen.
  • Added Texture2D.LoadRawTextureData for loading already-made (e.g. DXT/PVRTC compressed) raw data.
  • Allow for overriding Hidden/Internal-Flare, Hidden/Internal-Halo and Hidden/Internal-CombineDepthNormals shaders.
  • Added Max Particles script binding to Shuriken particle systems.
  • Dynamic batching support for point, line, and quad mesh topologies.
  • Added support for some DirectX 11.1 features (low precision shader variables, UAVs in all shader stages, logical blending operations etc.); note this works on DX11.1 runtime only (Windows 8 and up).
  • Exposed Light.cookieSize to scripts.
  • Shader related features
  • Material.renderQueue is serialized now. You can change it from custom inspector or script, and it will be saved.
  • Most of fixed function states (like blend, cull, depth test, stencil modes; polygon offsets etc.) can be driven by material parameters now. For example "Blend [MySrcBlend] [_MyDstBlend]", with _MySrcBlend and _MyDstBlend being float variables. See enums in UnityEngine.Rendering for the mode values. _Note: in this alpha, global shader properties can't drive be used for this.
  • MaterialPropertyDrawers, just like property drawers, but for shaders and material inspectors! e.g. you can do [MaterialToggle(FANCY_ON)] before a float shader property, and this will display it as a checkbox; and will enable FANCY_ON keyword when checked.
  • Added "by property ID" functions to set/get material properties; use Shader.PropertyToID to compute ID just once. No need to pass strings all the time.
  • By enabling SceneFX in the scene view materials in the viewport will update as they would at runtime (taking time into account).
  • Material inspectors now take time into account. Your materials will update in realtime in the inspector window.
  • Somewhat more sane error reporting - now gives hints in error messages about #pragma target 3.0 or #pragma glsl, and reports way less almost identical errors when you make typos.
  • Vertex lit shaders can access all 8 vertex light lights instead of only first 4 in custom shader programs. Also, spot light information (spot direction & spot attenuation) can be accessed.
  • Added Material.EnableKeyword and DisableKeyword.
  • Added Material.SetInt/GetInt, and Shader.SetGlobalInt. In ShaderLab Properties block, "Int" can be a property type similar to "Float". Note that all these are just aliases for floats.
  • Added ShaderUtil.CreateShaderAsset this takes a text shader and returns a compiled shader.

New in Unity 4.2.0 (Jul 31, 2013)

  • New Platforms and Licensing:
  • Windows Store Apps ("WSA", for both x86 and ARM) and Windows Phone 8 support. Pro version of WSA/WP8 is free for Unity Pro owners!
  • BlackBerry 10 support.
  • Now free: all "Basic" mobile licenses.
  • Now free: realtime shadows (one directional light only; hard shadows only).
  • Now free: text-based serialization of materials, prefabs, scenes etc. for easier version control.
  • Now free: NavMesh baking (OffMeshLinks still require Pro).
  • Graphics Features:
  • Anti-aliased RenderTextures. Implemented on D3D9, D3D11, OpenGL, OpenGL ES 2.0 (iOS and some Android devices via GL_IMG_multisampled_render_to_texture), OpenGL ES 3.0.
  • Image Effects, a batch of new goodies and improvements (update Image Effects package!)
  • Ambient Obscurance: Added "Screen Space Ambient Obscurance" effect, like old SSAO but better quality, faster and scales better to large resolutions.
  • Bloom: Added mobile oriented "Bloom (Optimized)" effect; not as fancy as Bloom one but faster.
  • Blur: Added mobile oriented "Blur (Optimized)" effect.
  • Tilt Shift: Replaced old effect with "Tilt Shift (Lens Blur)" one; better quality and HDR support.
  • Camera Motion Blur: Added "Reconstruction Disc" mode, quality tweaks to existing modes.
  • Vignetting: Optimized performance and improved UI.
  • Edge detection: Removed old simple "Edge Detection (Color)" effect, added it as a new mode into Edge Detection effect.
  • Reorganized image effects menu structure to be more logical.
  • Stencil buffer access (requires Unity Pro). Shaders can define stencil buffer operations that they perform, for optimizations or special effects.
  • Shadows: Implemented static & dynamic batching for shadow casters & shadow collector pass. Note: many shadow casters can be batched even if they use different materials! They will be batched as long as the actual shadow caster shader & material properties affecting it are the same.
  • Shuriken: Collision event callback scripting interface. Efficient callbacks on GameObjects and ParticleSystems are issued when Shuriken particle collisions occur. Per particle callback data include collision positions, incident velocities, surface normals and Collider references allowing developers to, say, cause damage to GameObjects and apply forces to RigidBodies.v
  • GPU Skinning! (requires Unity Pro)
  • Completely automatic, no custom shaders needed.
  • Works on DirectX 11 (via stream-out), OpenGL ES 3.0 (via transform feedback) and Xbox 360 (via memexport). Other platforms will continue to use CPU skinning.
  • OpenGL ES 3.0 support for Android:
  • ES3 has nicer shadow filtering, ETC2 texture compression, GPU skinning via transform feedback, HDR rendering, multiple render targets, derivative instructions in shaders etc.
  • A new option in Player Settings, next to ES1.x and 2.0 devices.
  • Requires a GPU that can do ES3, for example Qualcomm Adreno 3xx or ARM Mali T6xx.
  • Note that the official Android version does not support ES3 yet. So to test it you should install ES3 drivers directly from GPU makers (e.g. Qualcomm).
  • Deferred Lighting is now enabled on Android and iOS.
  • Requires depth texture support and at least a 512MB RAM device.
  • Note, it might still be too slow for big games scenes on anything but latest devices, so use with care.
  • Added possibility to create Texture2D directly from native texture; Texture2D.CreateExternalTexture. This is mostly useful when your native code plugin creates textures itself.
  • Editor Features:
  • Integrated version control support for Perforce.
  • Do common Perforce operations right inside Unity editor.
  • We've made the integrated version control system extensible; support for more VCS will be coming later. Or you can write your own VCS plugin, see our plugin page on github.
  • Platform switching, player building and asset importing can be cancelled now! How cool is that?
  • Custom GameView resolutions & aspect ratios. Custom settings are saved per project for easy sharing through version control (ProjectSettings/GameViewSizes.asset).
  • Preset Libraries: You can now save the following types as presets:
  • Curves in the Curve Editor and Particle System Curve Editor.
  • Gradients in the Gradient Editor.
  • Colors in the Color Picker.
  • Create new libraries either as personal libraries (saved in preferences) or shared libraries (saved in the project folder).
  • Added a Quad primitive ;)
  • Memory Profiler: Now shows the objects that have references to another loaded object. This can help pinpoint why a given object is in memory.
  • Shader importer can have default textures specified. When you initially set a shader on a material or reset a material the textures will be set to these default textures.
  • Texture importer now has "Alpha is Transparency" setting, which does color dilation to fix edge artifacts on semitransparent textures. It is enabled by default for GUI textures.
  • Mobile Features:
  • Android: Added support for Android Library Projects (no compilation support, so the libraries have to be pre-compiled).
  • Android: AndroidJavaProxy - Support for implementing Java interfaces in C#.
  • Android: Editor can now update the Android SDK if it does not match the required dependencies.
  • iOS: Added CrashReporter API for crash detection and extraction (requires Unity Pro).
  • iOS: Now you can setup iOS PlayerSettings, texture import overrides and build iOS AssetBundles from Windows Editor. Building an actual iOS player still requires Mac OS X & Xcode.
  • iOS: WebCamTexture can be set non-readable (prior to playback), which allows it to output from camera directly to texture, avoiding extra memory copies.
  • Editor: When in mobile graphics emulation mode, editor will show a warning when RenderTexture usage is not optimal for tile-based or multi-GPU systems. Use RenderTexture.MarkRestoreExpected() to suppress the warning if needed.
  • Other Features:
  • Audio: Added Bypass Listener and Bypass Reverb Zones properties that enable turning off listener effects independently from the effects on the audio source. Thus, Bypass Effects only turns off the effects on the AudioSource, and the 3 flags can be combined freely.
  • Audio: Added Disable Audio property in Audio project settings to deactivate the audio system in standalone builds. Note that this also affects the audio of MovieTextures. In the editor the audio system is still on and will support previewing audio clips, but AudioSource.Play calls and playOnAwake will not be handled in order to simulate behavior of the standalone build.
  • Audio: Added "Prepare iOS For Recording" property in Player Settings (iOS > Other Settings in the inspector). Turning it on will avoid the stalls that otherwise happen when starting or stopping the Microphone object.
  • Editor: Editor extensions can now get a callback when Unity is about to open an asset. Use this callback to open an asset inside Unity before its opened in an external tool. Decorate a static method with the attribute UnityEditor.Callbacks.OnOpenAsset.
  • Linux: Added basic webcam support for video4linux2-supported devices.
  • Linux: Implement headless player; this will not require Xlib (requires Unity Pro).
  • Mac OS X: 64 bit standalone player support (x86_64 and Universal).
  • Mecanim: Avatar Creation API, for avatar creation from scripts at runtime or in the editor.
  • Mecanim: Synchronized Layers option to override state durations.
  • Mecanim: You can now set the default layer weight in the editor for your animator controller layer.
  • Changes:
  • Asset bundles built in prior versions of Unity are no longer compatible with Unity 4.2 (this has been necessary because of changes to how built-in resources are handled).
  • AssetDatabase.ImportPackage and AssetDatabase.ExportPackage can now be called repeatedly from within the same iteration of the game update loop (previously, successive calls would overwrite the buffered state of the previous one).
  • Audio: 7.1 content can now be loaded in the editor (previously only 5.1 was allowed).
  • Editor: Add MeshRenderer component dependency for TextMesh component.
  • Editor: NavMeshLayers editing is now located as a tab in the Navigation Window.
  • Editor: Terrain menu functionality moved to Terrain Inspector. Now you create a terrain by GameObject > Create Other > Terrain. Terrain settings previously in the menu are under Settings tab in terrain inspector.
  • Font colors are now applied as vertex colors, instead of by setting the color on the material. This makes it work better with markup tags in rich text strings. The color property in the font importer has been removed, and instead there are now color properties on the GUIText and TextMesh components to let you set the color of text objects per instance instead of per font.
  • Graphics: Disabled multisampling on NVIDIA cards on OS X earlier than 10.9 in Mac Web Player, due to driver issues.
  • Graphics: Majority of built-in shaders are now only included into your game data if they are actually used. This saves about 200 kilobytes off your mobile game size if you're not using many built-in ones. If you need some built-in shaders to be available without explicit references to them (to make Shader.Find etc. work), set them up in Edit -> Project Settings -> Graphics (by default Diffuse shader is always included).
  • Mac OS X Editor: The Editor on OS X will now allow symlinks in project folders to match Windows behavior. This can be used to share assets across projects, but is not recommended unless you know exactly what you are doing.
  • Made several Unity API calls which had been undocumented for many years properly deprecated.
  • NavMesh: "Reset" button in navmesh bake window is moved to window menu item.
  • Resources.LoadAll() now permits a trailing slash when given a folder name.
  • Web Player: the "Release Channels" context menu item will now only be visible when the Alt/Option key is pressed when opening the context menu.
  • Improvements:
  • Android: Stylus support.
  • Android: Support for xxhdpi resolution icons.
  • Android: AndroidJNIHelper and AndroidJava classes will now throw exceptions on failed invocations.
  • Android: Enhanced performance of AndroidJava and reduced the load on the dalvik GC.
  • Android: If possible, use native sensors (accelerometer, compass, etc) instead of routing it through Java.
  • Android: Improved error messages when build fails; added Retry option when device deployment fails; automatically create adb tunnel for profiler.
  • Android: OBB is now exported in the root folder when exporting an android project.
  • Android: Remove Eclipse project support in favor of Android project support.
  • Asset Bundles: Compressed AssetBundles built with 4.2 or later will have reduced runtime memory usage when decompressing.
  • Audio: Added a more informative error message when the audio device is changed during work in the editor or at runtime (i.e. when plugging in a screen that has built-in audio device such as HDMI screens).
  • Building: Show a warning when assembly's internal and file names don't match. This can cause issues on platforms that do AOT.
  • Editor: Added EditorGUIUtility.ShowObjectPicker to let editor extensions use it on demand.
  • Editor: Added a Select Prefab item in the Hierarchy View context menu.
  • Editor: Added EditorWindow.maximized bool. Use this to query if a window is maximized, set it to maximize/unmaximize a window. Is always false if the window is not docked.
  • Editor: Gradient API now has alphaKeys and colorKeys properties.
  • Editor: New #SCRIPTNAME_LOWER# token for use in script templates.
  • Editor: Popups, buttons, color pickers, etc. in the inspector can now be opened by pressing Space.
  • Editor: Show warning in inspector when you have non-power-of-two texture that cannot be compressed.
  • Editor: Switching between DX9 and DX11 in player settings does not require editor restart now.
  • Editor: Trying to open a project that is already open in another Unity instance will now simply display an error and then bring up the project selector (except in batch mode where it keeps triggering a fatal error and exits).
  • Graphics: Optimized sorting of renderable objects for smaller CPU load.
  • Graphics: Exposed Light.alreadyLightmapped to scripts.
  • Graphics: reduced memory footprint of non-readable meshes.
  • Graphics: Added WebCamTexture.videoVerticallyMirrored. Use Case: on iOS, when you use non-readable webcam texture, GL texture will be created on top of camera's target pixel buffer, which is vertically "flipped".
  • iOS: Ability to disable "Replace" button when overwriting existing build.
  • iOS: Added Objective-C VideoPlayer, to playback video to view or to a texture.
  • iOS: Enforced keyboard to be shown on main thread (to play nicely with iOS6).
  • iOS: Improved support for AppController subclassing and unity view integration with native UI.
  • iOS: In case of unhandled exceptions iOS player now will generate crash report instead of exiting silently.
  • iOS: Made Unity iOS apps PIE compatible.
  • iOS: Added iPhone.vendorIdentifier and iPhone.advertisingIdentifier with iPhone.advertisingTrackingEnabled APIs for better manual control of what device ID to use.
  • iOS: Xcode project cleaned up a bit.
  • iOS: Native VideoPlayback can be now paused/resumed. You can seek and check if it is playing.
  • iOS: Added UNITY_VERSION macro support for native code in trampoline. We also added a UNITY_4_2_0 macro to make it future-proof (we will add macros like that for future releases too). We now support these ways of checking the version:
  • you can use it like MSC_VER macro, i.e. if you want some code to be enabled only when using unity 4.4.1 or newer, do #if UNITY_VERSION >= 441.
  • you can do it in a way that resembles iOS SDK versioning, e.g. for version 4.4.1 and newer #ifdef UNITY_4_4_1.
  • you can combine them, e.g. #if defined(UNITY_4_4_1) && UNITY_VERSION < UNITY_4_4_1
  • Linux: Improved inter-application copy/paste.
  • Linux: Add fullscreen scaling fallback for devices that don't support GL_EXT_framebuffer_blit.
  • Mecanim: Allow scrolling when adding transition.
  • Mecanim: Return warning message in console to user when we detect an invalid avatar while importing.
  • Mobile: Optimized a bunch of rendering places to be more tiled-GPU friendly (as is common on mobile). This includes shadows, deferred lighting and most of image effects.
  • Mobile: Added RenderTexture.DiscardContents with separate flags for color/depth discard.
  • Mobile: Greatly improved performance of fixed function shaders on OpenGL ES 2.0. There's no reason to use ES 1.1 anymore.
  • Mobile: Switched to one FBO object per RenderTexture; performance improvement with render texture switches.
  • NavMesh: General crowd performance improvements.
  • Profiler: Now roughly estimates how much application binary and loaded libraries take.
  • Profiler: Open webstreams (for Asset Bundles etc.) report their used sizes.
  • Profiler: Removed log spamming when manually connecting to IP.
  • Scripting: Avoid pausing some threads during Mono garbage collection on Windows, OS X, and iOS. Helps prevent audio stutters during GC.
  • Scripting: Added HideFlags.None enum value.
  • Scripting: While compiling C# scripts, you can now use classes from System.Xml.Linq namespace.
  • Shaders: Ability to output custom Z buffer value from shaders. Previously, a bug in Cg compiler prevented this on D3D9, we've worked around that. Note that some platforms (OpenGL ES 2.0, Flash) don't have ability to write custom values into Z buffer from pixel shaders.
  • Shaders: Add ability to override how lightmaps are applied in surface shaders.
  • Shadows: Better sorting of shadow casters for GPU efficiency.
  • Shadows: Improved shadowmap filtering on OpenGL. It will use native GPU bilinear shadow filter when available, just like D3D9 and D3D11 does. No more "shadows are worse on Mac than on Windows"! Note: native shadowmap filtering disabled for Spot lights on Linux due to driver issues.
  • Shuriken: Added script binding for ParticleSystem simulation space.
  • Shuriken: Exposed particle axis of rotation to scripting API.
  • Standalone: Added "fullscreen at native resolution" player setting.
  • Standalone: Added player setting for single instance mode.

  • Substance: ProceduralMaterial.ClearCache now takes effect immediately instead of being taken into account at next RebuildTextures call.
  • Substance: ProceduralTextures created from a cloned ProceduralMaterial now have the same name and "RAW/Compressed" format as the original textures.
  • Substance: Reimporting substances that have been modified in Play mode is now multithreaded.
  • Substance: Editor scripts can now modify a ProceduralMaterial's size/format/behaviour using SubstanceImporter.Get/SetPlatformTextureSettings.
  • Web Player: the "Release Channels" context menu now lists actual versions used for different channels.
  • Fixes:

  • Simple vs. Complex view type dropdown button in the memory area.
  • Substance: Procedural textures are now supported at runtime on iOS and Android (ARM v7a only with NEON extension only).
  • Mecanim: 2D Blend Nodes for Blend Trees. 2D Blend Nodes are like regular blend nodes except you can blend based on two float parameters instead of one. Supported 2D blend types are Simple Directional, Freeform Directional, and Freeform Cartesian.
  • Graphics: Custom Material Editors! A shader can have CustomEditor keyword which points to an editor class that derives from MaterialEditor. This is useful for setting per material shader keywords from the UI.
  • Graphics: Per-material shader keywords. You can now set shader keyworkds on a per material basis. This allows for less work maintaining shaders and turning on and off parts of a shader with keywords.
  • iOS: full multi-screen support (AirPlay). Look for added Display class for an array of connected displays (only iOS is properly implemented now - all other platforms will have only one display in there).
  • Mac OS X Standalone: added GameCenter support.
  • Graphics: Rendering with shader replacement now supports lighting. If you render a camera with a replacement shader, the camera will pick the shader that corresponds to the current camera rendering path (forward / deferred / vertex lit).
  • Graphics: Camera.SetTargetBuffers added, allowing you to set buffers to draw to from RenderTexture or from screen; or to share depth buffer between different cameras.
  • Added Transform.hasChanged flag that can be used to check if the transform's position/rotation/scale has been altered since the last time hasChanged was set to 'false'.
  • Audio: Added scripting API support for sample-precision stitching of audio clips and synchronized DSP effects (AudioSettings.dspTime, AudioSource.PlayScheduled, AudioSource.SetScheduledStartTime, AudioSource.SetScheduledEndTime)
  • Editor: Console can now be filtered by Errors, Warnings, and Logs.
  • Shadows: Hardware shadow map filtering on capable mobile platforms (EXT_shadow_samplers; most recent iOS devices, very few Android devices yet). Makes shadow edges look a bit nicer, at some performance cost (used only when Light has shadows set to "Soft").
  • Mecanim: API for recording.
  • Mecanim: Can now change AnimatorController at runtime.
  • Improvements:
  • Android: Added caching of shader binaries for faster load time, if available in the GLES driver (GL_OES_get_program_binary extension).
  • Android: Propagation of native crashes (callstack etc.) to the Google Play Error Reporter. This include native plugins and script callstacks.
  • Android: Added multiple render target support on NVIDIA (GL_NV_draw_buffers and GL_NV_fbo_color_attachments).
  • Audio: Added AudioSource.ignoreListenerPause to enable playback of sounds in menus and editor extensions while AudioListener.pause=true
  • Audio: It is now possible to query play position and Microphone read position from a different thread than the main thread. This can be used to lower the latency of processing microphone input, by adaptively regulating playback speed.
  • Editor: Scene view can be set to render with shader replacement, SceneView.SetSceneViewShaderReplace.
  • Editor: CustomEditors can now optionally apply for subclasses of the class they're editing. Use [CustomEditor(typeof(MyClass), true)] to also make a custom editor work for MyClass' children
  • Editor: Confirmation for losing prefab connection now only comes up once when dragging multiple child objects out of a prefab.
  • Editor: Display Unity version in Project Wizard dialog title.

  • Graphics: ARGBHalf, RGHalf, RHalf, R8 render texture formats supported on modern OpenGL & OpenGL ES 2.0 devices.
  • Graphics: Improved handling of non-power-of-two texture sizes.
  • On most platforms, a NPOT-sized texture without mipmaps and with Clamp wrapping mode will be actually represented as NPOT size texture on the GPU. This lowers memory usage and greatly improves loading times for NPOT texture sizes.
  • NPOT-sized uncompressed textures with mipmaps are faster as well, if the GPU supports arbitrary texture sizes (most modern PC GPUs do).
  • Added SystemInfo.npotSupport.
  • Input: You can now control which layers get OnMouse* events via Camera.eventMask. Setting it to zero turns off the mouse events, improving performance.
  • Installers: New icons and other artwork for OS X installers.
  • iOS: "iPhoneBundleIdentifier not set up" demoted to warning.
  • iOS: Device physical architecture is reported more accurately, though in lowercase (like 'armv7s').

  • Mecanim: Copy Paste of State/StateMachine also copies missing parameters.
  • Mecanim: Transitions are only reorderable in the context of a State.
  • Profiler: It is now possible to connect to a player by manually typing the IP of the device where the player is running - in case of multiple players on the same IP, it will connect to the player listening on the lowest port (which is randomly assigned).
  • Resources.UnloadUnusedAssets() has been rewritten. It is around 4x faster than in Unity 4.0 and works much better in a game that streams levels in and out. The unloading is now using precise garbage collection (previously it was based on Mono's built-in GC, which is conservative). Fixes strange corner cases with the old system, where in the worst case it could reload prefabs from disk during unloading.
  • Shaders: Added SubShader tag "ForceNoShadowCasting". When this tag is present, no shadows will be cast from this object, even if shader has a shadow caster pass somewhere.
  • Shaders: Sampler precision support for mobile, you can use sampler2D_half, sampler2D_float, samplerCUBE_half, samplerCUBE_float types which will translate into mediump & highp samplers for GLES2.0.
  • Shaders: Shaders will now use the shadow caster pass of the selected subshader if a shadow pass exists. If no shadow pass exists it will fallback to the default shadow pass.
  • Substance: decrease the memory overhead of Substance instances created at runtime.
  • Substance: If present, the more user friendly input "labels" are displayed in the Inspector instead of the input "names".

  • Substance: Less code is embedded in the various Unity players.
  • Substance: lower memory consumption when dealing with multi-graph Substances.
  • Substance: New "Use caching" load behavior for Substances (textures are written to disk/flash after being generated and are reloaded from there at subsequent app/game launches).
  • Substance: On mobile platforms "Compressed" Substance textures are now compressed at runtime to DXT or PVRTC if supported by the GPU.
  • Substance: Procedural textures can now be read in the runtime API (ProceduralTexture.GetPixels32). Substances must be set to RAW and have the isReadable property set for GetPixels32 to work.
  • Substance: Updated Substance engines for all platforms (faster rendering, better threading, lower memory consumption).
  • Substance: XML presets can now be read from / applied to substances in the runtime API.
  • Changes:
  • Audio: AudioSource.Play(offset) is now considered deprecated. It will still work as before, but will output a warning. Instead, users are encouraged to use AudioSource.PlayDelayed(delay) which takes a delay parameter in seconds instead of a sample count in the arbitrarily chosen 44100 reference rate that was used previously.
  • DestroyImmediate is no longer allowed to be called from within animation events.
  • Editor: Removed buttons in Console window for Open Editor Log and Open Player Log (on OS X) and put them into the custom menu for the Console instead (accessed through the upper right corner of the window).
  • iOS: Changed how VRAM amount is estimated and reported, now it is 1/4 of total physical memory.
  • iOS: Keyboard handling extracted to trampoline.
  • Mecanim: Avatar body and skeleton mask has been merged into AvatarMask to simplify the workflow. Any created object of type AvatarBodyMask or AvatarSkeletonMask should be converted to AvatarMask. Any AvatarSkeletonMask set into a layer mask would be lost, you need to manually re assign the mask.
  • Mecanim: CycleOffset is set automatically to 0.5 for clips that are being mirrored in States/BlendTrees.
  • Mecanim: In model importer animation tab for humanoid clip, the option Keep Additionnal bone has been removed since you can now choose wanted transform in the Avatar mask.

  • Map the bones of your model to human muscles with a single click, or fine tune the setup for full control.
  • Slice up your authored or motion-captured animations directly inside Unity with the industry's best tool for the job.
  • Preview the animation as your drag the ranges of a clip.
  • Indicators for pose looping quality and motion looping quality lets you easily pick the range with optimal looping.

  • Support for non-humanoid characters will be added in next pre-order beta build.
  • DirectX 11 Rendering:
  • On Windows Vista and later, and with DX10 or better level GPU, you can use DirectX 11 now.
  • Player Settings has "Use DX11" option; when it it set the player will try using DX11.
  • Editor can be switched to DX11 in Preferences. This is confusing; we'll fix it in a later build.
  • New features:
  • Geometry shaders (require DX10 GPU) and hull/domain shaders (require DX11 GPU). #pragma geometry, hull, domain in shader files.
  • Compute shaders (*.compute files, ComputeShader in scripts)
  • ComputeBuffer scripting API ("structured buffers" in DX11 lingo). Can use them in compute shaders and regular shader model 5.0 shaders (Material.SetBuffer, Shader.SetGlobalBuffer).
  • "random write" RenderTextures ("UAVs" in DX11 lingo). Graphics.SetRandomWriteTarget, RenderTexture.enableRandomWrite.
  • Graphics.DrawProcedural & DrawProceduralIndirect.

  • In shaders, can optionally use CBUFFER_START(name) .. CBUFFER_END macros to markup separate constant buffers.
  • Linux Publishing:
  • Export a standalone player for 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (amd64) Linux.
  • Select "Linux 32-bit" or "Linux 64-bit" from the Target Platform list in the Build Settings.
  • When building a player for Linux on Windows, you will first need to make the binary executable before being able to run it on Linux. Do this by running 'chmod +x' on the executable or right clicking and selecting "Allow to run as application".
  • Supported Platforms
  • Standalone players will run on most modern Linux systems with vendor-supplied graphics drivers.
  • Official support will be provided for 32 or 64-bit Ubuntu Linux, version 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) or newer, with graphics cards using vendor-supplied drivers.
  • Graphics Features:
  • Terrain: Normal map & custom shader support for Terrain. Added built-in shader Nature/Terrain/Bumped Specular; added "normal map" texture slot to terrain splat maps; added Material field under terrain settings.
  • 3D (volume) textures support. Currently no way to import them, but you can create them from script (Texture3D) and use them in shaders (sampler3D and tex3D). Also SystemInfo.supports3DTextures.
  • Shadows on mobile devices! Only directional lights, no shadow cascades, no soft shadows.
  • Requires GL_OES_depth_texture extension. Most notably, Tegra-based devices do not support it.
  • 3D (volume) textures support. Currently no way to import them, but you can create them from script (Texture3D) and use them in shaders (sampler3D and tex3D). Also SystemInfo.supports3DTextures.

  • New Generate Cubemap texture import option that creates a cubemap from vertical/horizontal cross or row/column of images.
  • Seamless cubemap option that makes sure edges of faces match up.
  • Cubemap assets reference their original textures in the editor instead of copying their pixels at assign time.
  • Scripting API: Cubemap.SmoothEdges.
  • Lightmapping: "Bake selected" no longer destroys lightmaps on objects that aren't selected. Instead it updates lightmaps on selected objects, as expected.
  • Lightmapping: Normalmaps are taken into account when lightmapping, which allows to add detail to lightmaps and makes the transition between near and far distance in Dual Lightmaps mode less visible.
  • Render Textures: added RenderTextureFormat.ARGBFloat, RGFloat, RGHalf, RFloat, RHalf formats.
  • Meshes can have a non-triangle topology now. You can create meshes that are lines, points or quads from scripts. See MeshTopology enum, Mesh.GetIndices, SetIndices, GetTopology.
  • Added SkinnedMeshRenderer.BakeMesh to "bake" skinned mesh result into a regular mesh.

  • Enable searching the Asset Store and previewing assets.
  • You can switch Project Browser to old-style one column layout in the context menu of the window (upper right corner).
  • Rewrite of the GUI system:
  • The existing GUI system (OnGUI) had its core rewritten, optimized and cleaned up. It uses less memory and induces less garbage collection cycles. Un-scientific performance increases measured at:
  • iOS, with GUILayout ~2.5x faster.
  • Mac, with GUILayout ~3x faster.
  • iOS, no GUILayout ~10x faster.
  • Mac, no GUILayout ~20x faster.
  • Uses less memory and induces less garbage collection cycles.
  • Note: this is not the “New GUI” that is coming to a later Unity 4.x release. It’s existing GUI, made much faster.
  • Other Features:
  • Added a new development console to show error messages on screen in development builds.
  • Android: Added Eclipse project generation.
  • Android: Support for APK Expansion Files (OBBs) - effectively enabling applications larger than 50Mb in the Google Play Store.
  • iOS: Target Resolution Player Setting was redesigned to better suite development workflow on multiple iOS devices. Two new “Auto (Best performance)” and “Auto (Best Quality)” settings allow Unity Runtime to choose most optimal rendering resolution according to device GPU capabilities.
  • Debugger: Webplayers can now be attached to and debugged just like standalones.
  • Editor: Add components and scripts to Game Objects easier and faster through the new Add Component drop-down directly inside the Inspector.
  • Editor: Create your own Inspector GUI for custom classes or attributes and see it used across all scripts that use those classes or attributes.
  • Fonts: Custom fonts can now use arbitrary character rectangles instead of a fixed grid.
  • Fonts: Font character placement properties are now accessible from scripting.
  • Fonts: Imported fonts can now be converted to editable custom fonts from the gear menu.
  • Gradient (known from the Shuriken editor) is now exposed to scripts: Gradient, GradientColorKey, GradientAlphaKey.
  • Navigation: NavMeshAgent supports prioritized levels of avoidance.
  • Navigation: NavMeshObstacle component added.
  • Upgrade guide:
  • We have changed how the active state of GameObjects is handled. GameObjects active state will now affect child GameObjects, so setting a GameObject to inactive will now turn the entire sub-hierarchy inactive. This may change the behavior of your projects. GameObject.active and GameObject.SetActiveRecursively() have been deprecated. Instead, you should now use the GameObject.activeSelf and GameObject.activeInHierarchy getters and the GameObject.SetActive() method.
  • Editor: We have reset the preferences from 3.x to 4.x. This affects your saved window layouts, the project wizard list, saved filters etc.
  • Editor: While an asset is being imported it will not be persistent. E.g. if you postprocess a texture and query its asset path, it will return an empty string. Assets outside of the asset postprocessor can, of course, be accessed at any point.
  • iOS: Target Resolution Player Setting was redesigned to better suite development workflow on multiple iOS devices. Two new “Auto (Best performance)” and “Auto (Best Quality)” settings allow Unity Runtime to choose most optimal rendering resolution according to device GPU capabilities. Some custom editor scripts might need to be updated to comply with these changes. Rendering resolution might be also changed from game scripts using Screen.SetResolution API.
  • iOS: Device SDK Player Settings was simplified and now contains only two entries “Device SDK” and “Simulator SDK”. Corresponding editor API entries were also changed and some custom editor scripts might need to be changed.
  • iOS: Unity 4.0 discontinues support for ARMv6 devices (iPhone 1st gen, iPhone 3G, iPod Touch 1st/2nd gen). This affects existing project development in several ways:
  • Target Platform Player Setting was removed from Unity Editor. Now all Unity iOS applications are ARMv7-only. Corresponding PlayerSetting.iOS Editor API entries also were removed. You might need to fix some of your editor scripts for that.
  • Graphics API level (Open GL ES 1.1 or 2.x) selection was moved to separate Graphics Level Player Setting. This setting is synced with the Android platform.
  • Applications that were already released to the App Store as supporting ARMv6+ARMv7 or ARMv6-only now can be updated only if Target iOS Version Player Setting is set to “4.3” or higher.
  • Mobile: Unity 4.0 brings hard shadow support to mobiles. Shadows for mobiles are enabled at the default Quality Setting. And if the project is shared with desktop platforms then shadows might just appear on mobiles too when project gets imported into Unity 4.0. Some manual tweaking of lighting/shadow setup might be required for optimal performance on mobiles.
  • Mobile: We changed the way Texture2D.ReadPixels works. Now, if you do call it during Update (or, generally, not during rendering frame) to grab the copy of the screen, the call will be deferred to the end of the current frame. Due to this, logic behind Apply was changed too. What you need to do if you use ReadPixels to read pixels from the screen:
  • if you just grab screen copy and call Apply, both calls will be deferred to the end of the frame
  • if you grab screen copy, and do something with it, and call Apply after that: you need to defer all this to the next frame. The easiest way is to use coroutines with yield in between ReadPixels and your operations plus Apply.
  • On the other hand, you can always do ReadPixels in Camera's OnPostRender, or when you have active RenderTexture.
  • Runtime: GameObjects marked DontDestroyOnLoad are no longer temporarily deactivate when loading a level. They will also not receive an OnDisable / OnEnable call when loading a level.
  • Profiler Improvements:
  • Android: Profiler blocks marked up in rendering commands via EXT_debug_marker (for tools like PerfHud).
  • GPU profiling support for Tegra-based Android devices.
  • GPU profiler detailed objects view sorts in decreasing GPU time.

  • Scripting API: Profiler.GetMonoHeapSize, GetMonoUsedSize.
  • Made profiler player connection run threaded to improve throughput and reduce lack of profile data.
  • Asset Pipeline Improvements:
  • Added userData string property to AssetImporter, use this to pass per asset data to asset post processor.
  • Manual asset reimport (via context menu) always reimports, even if cache server already has the result.

  • Major New Features:
  • Adobe Flash: Final version of 3.5 supports a preview of publishing to Adobe SWF format, otherwise known as Flash Export.
  • A separate FAQ for this release is available at http://unity3d.com/unity/publishing/flash.
  • New Particle System - "Shuriken".
  • Edit, view and playback control in Edit Mode. You can manually scrub time to inspect and fine-tune the particle system using the Scene View playback controls.
  • Module-based: Each particle system has several modules that can be enabled to control color, size and movement of particles.
  • Groupable: It is possible to group / compose several particle systems in a hierarchy and their playback will behave as one particle system.
  • Built-in curve editor for easy curve editing.
  • Pathfinding and avoidance sub-system added.
  • NavMesh: Path-finding API. Bake navigation mesh with markup areas.
  • NavMeshAgent: Character navigation. Avoidance system.
  • OffmeshLink: used to create arbitrary connections between NavMesh polygons.
  • Built-in LOD management via LOD Groups.
  • Lightmap baking works for LODed models. The lightmapped objects use a surface transfer algorithm similar to normal map baking.
  • Asset Cache server.
  • Assets imports are shared between project folders and users. Switching Platform takes minutes instead of hours on large scale projects. Grabbing changes from other team members is almost instant.
  • Built-in HDR support and adaptive tonemapping.
  • The 3.5 image effects package comes with adaptive tonemapping, bloom and depth of field image effects that are optimized for HDR.
  • Multithreaded rendering.
  • Most of rendering & driver overhead is put onto another CPU core on multicore systems.
  • You don't have to do anything, it just works!
  • Currently only on PC / Mac / Xbox 360; and not in the web player yet.
  • Light Probes, which allow for using baked lighting on characters and other dynamic objects.
  • Directional Lightmaps.
  • Generic external version control (.meta files) is now available in the free version.
  • Google Native Client is now supported
  • It is now possible to select and edit multiple objects simultaneously with the Inspector!
  • The Inspector preview supports showing the multiple selected objects.
  • Multi-editing can be enabled for custom editors with a single line of code if they are based on using SerializedProperty.
  • Occlusion Culling has been rewritten from scratch, it is much faster to compute and always correct
  • OcclusionPortal component has been added to allow doors that can be opened and closed at runtime.
  • Terrains work well with occlusion culling now.
  • The default mode for occlusion culling is “automatic portal generation”, which is very accurate and works well for dynamic objects.
  • Introduced the “Occludee Static” flag. This is used to mark objects as statically occludable without making them occluders. For example transparent objects that don't move should be marked as Occludee Static.
  • Text-based scene and prefab format can be used for improving team workflows. This can be turned on or off in the Editor Settings for each project.
  • GPU Profiler: added the ability to see GPU usage to the profiler.
  • A ton of memory and performance optimizations. Several improvements to multithreading.
  • Graphics Features:
  • SkinnedMeshRenderer bounding volume is now always relative to the most common root bone and works much better with Ragdolls.
  • UpdateWhenOffscreen bounding volume option now uses bone-relative bounding volumes instead of vertices and is around 100x faster.
  • WebCamTexture class now supports cameras.
  • High-resolution screenshots can now be done via Application.CaptureScreenshot’s superSize parameter.
  • Added new Soft Shadows mode for Directional Lights that uses rotated disk sampling pattern.
  • Lightmapping: Added the “Area Light” light type (baked only).
  • Lightmapping: Skinned meshes can now be lightmapped. Use this for meshes that don't change the pose much after baking.
  • Advanced rendering controls:
  • Image Effects can optionally be applied before any transparent geometries are drawn. Use ImageEffectOpaque attribute on the OnRenderImage function.
  • Subtractive/Min/Max blending support, use BlendOp Min|Max|Sub|RevSub in ShaderLab.
  • Multiple Render Targets, Graphics.SetRenderTarget can take multiple color targets.
  • Enabled sharing of depth buffers between different color buffer targets, see Graphics.SetRenderTarget, RenderTexture.colorBuffer, etc.
  • Various graphics optimizations:
  • Optimizations for OpenGL ES 2.0 to avoid performance spikes with dynamic geometry.
  • Optimized culling and shadow caster culling.
  • More low level rendering possibilities from native code Plugins:
  • Ability to access Direct3D 9 device pointer.
  • Plugin callbacks on the rendering thread, so that low-level plugin rendering can co-exist with multithreaded renderer in Unity 3.5.
  • Surface Shaders: added optional final color modifier function (finalcolor directive). This can be used to implement custom Fog on platforms that can't do usual fog (like Xbox 360 or PS3).
  • Added renderer.SetMaterialBlock for a lightweight way of adding per-instance material parameters without duplicating the materials. Also, the MaterialPropertyBlock does not have fixed small capacity any longer.
  • Quality settings overhaul:
  • Quality settings can now be enabled / disabled per platform. Quality levels that are disabled on a target platform will be stripped on build.
  • Maximum LOD level and LOD bias can be setup in the Quality settings.
  • The smallest LOD level in the quality settings will be used to automatically strip higher LOD levels. This makes it possible to strip any high poly models and all their dependencies on low-end devices.
  • Editor Features
  • Middle-click on any surface in the Scene View to focus on the clicked point.
  • AssetModificationProcessor class created with custom VCS systems in mind.
  • Adds IsOpenForEdit check on assets which can prevent assets from being edited.
  • The preview in the Inspector can be detached to a separate window.
  • Implemented support for C4D file import from Cinema4D R13.
  • Implemented better detection of imported material types. Unity uses normal-map and transparency properties (texture or factor) to apply one of the following shaders: "Bumped Diffuse", "Transparent/Diffuse" or "Transparent/Bumped Diffuse".
  • Implemented import of texture Tiling and Offset values.
  • Implemented support for baking animation through FBX exporter during C4D file import (supported only from Cinema 4D R13, the old version uses our native IK baker).
  • Mac: Added support for full-screen mode in the new Mac OS X Lion 10.7.
  • Improved preferences window that users can extend by using the PreferenceItem attribute.
  • Gizmos can have world-space sizes. Nice, hi-res gizmos were added.
  • The Transform gizmo has a new planar transform tool for performing two-axis translations, which replaces the Free Transform tool. Hold the 'shift' key to switch back to the Free Transform tool.
  • GUI class now has a DrawTextureWithTexCoords function for specifying texture coordinates.
  • Entire curves can now be dragged vertically.
  • Gizmos are now depth-tested, and exist in world space. The gizmo size can be adjusted using the existing gizmos size slider.
  • Introduced a more advanced Static checkbox: It is now possible to mark objects static for different situations (lightmapping, navigation, occlusion etc).
  • Made it possible to find objects in scene that reference the selected asset.
  • Texture Importer for pvrtc-enabled platforms allows to select compression quality.
  • New Prefab system allows adding / removing components from instances without breaking the prefab connection.
  • Backwards compatibility with old prefabs is maintained.
  • Made sure prefabs do not show up as “missing” in play mode.
  • Audio Features:
  • Enabled audio buffer read and write access via AudioClip::Get/SetData
  • Introduced low latency custom filters. Filter/Produce audio at mixer rate with OnAudioFilterRead() callback.
  • Extended inspector GUI support for custom filters (out gain and performance meters).
  • Enabled microphone support on all platforms.
  • Made mixer settings accessible from script (buffer sizes and sample rate).
  • iOS Features:
  • Implemented Build&Run support for Xcode 4.x. (Not compatible with Xcode 3.x, but can be turned off in Editor settings).
  • Accelerometer frequency now is controlled from Player Settings.
  • Application.targetFrameRate works. Removed kFPS constant due to this. 30 FPS is default.
  • Added "Show Loading Indicator" option, to show spinner when loading game.
  • GameCenter support added through the Social API (does not include matchmaking and voice features at the moment).
  • Added iAd support.
  • Added push notification support.
  • Added Compass and Gyroscope support.
  • Added Camera support.
  • Added Microphone support.
  • Image Filters now determine the format for intermediate Render Targets from currently bound FrameBuffer (most usual - default Display Buffer). So if you use a 16bit Display Buffer you will get 16bit rt (RGB565). While this makes image filters a bit faster, it also is more GLES-conformant. If you want to use Image Filters that needs alpha channel or see banding, please set "Use 32-bit Display Buffer" checkbox in Player Settings, or use newly added Handheld.use32bitDisplayBuffer API.
  • Android Features:
  • Added "Show Loading Indicator" option, to show spinner when loading level synchronously.
  • QualitySettings.antiAliasing now works, allowing you to set AA level at runtime or in Editor.
  • Added "Use 32-bit Display Buffer" and "Use 24-bit Depth Buffer" options.
  • Added the API “Screen.dpi” to help determine the need for high/low resolution graphics.
  • Added Joystick / Mouse (USB) support - only available with Honeycomb 3.1 and later.
  • Improved load times with a new file reader back-end.

  • Added Camera support
  • Added Microphone support.
  • Added Texture Override for ETC/RGBA16, under Build Settings.
  • Added API targets for Honeycomb 3.2 (MR2) and Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0)
  • Other Features
  • Upgraded to MonoDevelop 2.8.2.
  • Generic Social API added, which supports GameCenter only at the moment and Xbox Live support will be enabled later. Limited dummy functionality runs on unsupported platforms (so code is testable in the Editor for example). Third parties can implement the interface to add support for their implementation on any platform.
  • Physics: Added ConfigurableJoint.swapBodies property to make the joint act as if the two connected Rigidbodies were swapped.
  • AssetPostProcessor can now be versioned. See AssetPostProcessor.GetVersion for details.
  • Asset Server can now be used with Cache Server. Note that this requires committing all assets to the server project after upgrading to 3.5 and that the server project will not be usable by older Unity versions after that commit. So remember to back up everything, including the server project.
  • Added Application.StreamingAssetPath which points to the location of the data in the Assets/StreamingAssets folder on all build targets.
  • IME: Added Input.isIMESelected to determine if the user has currently enabled IME conversion mode for keyboard input.
  • All Editor Settings files that need to be versioned have been moved into a ProjectSettings folder.
  • If upgrading an existing project the current settings files will be copied to the new folder.
  • If you are using version control you should upgrade your project by opening it in the editor and then you should remove the old settings files from version control and simply add the ProjectSettings folder.
  • Conclusion: All you need to add to version control in 3.5 is your Assets folder and ProjectSettings folder.
  • Improvements:

  • Fixed formatting issues for code snippets on IE
  • Fixed up many code examples.
  • Editor:
  • Fixed the "Generate Lightmap UVs" reducing the difference between mac/win. Not there yet, but should be fixed for the most part. Please reimport meshes and rebake lightmaps.
  • A LOD group that was created on import can now be updated in the scene and send these settings back to the importer.
  • Added "All" and "None" items for active Layer selection menu.
  • API: Added optional parameter includeChildren to PropertyField to allow creating entire class or array controls with a single function call.
  • API: Exposed GetIconSize and SetIconSize.
  • API: Made DrawDefaultInspector work with both LooksLikeInspector and LooksLikeControls.
  • API: Made PropertyField respect indent level instead of overwriting it with property depth.
  • Asset Import performance optimizations for large project folder. For example detecting assets to be refreshed is around 10x faster now. Opening an already imported project is around 50x faster.
  • Audio clips now use the static preview system. This means that audio clips now have a preview in the object picker/browser.
  • Break prefab menu item added to Game Object menu (Break button was removed from gameobject inspector).
  • Curve Editor key selection improvement: Always select the topmost key if keys of multiple curves are overlapping.
  • Debug.DrawLine and Debug.DrawRay now take an optional bool that can disable depth testing.
  • Ensure terrain brush settings are not reset when selecting a different object or when entering or exiting Play mode.
  • EnumPopup element strings are now "nicified".
  • Even more fixes to "Generate Lightmap UVs" to make it generate same UVs across Mac/Win.
  • Fixed various project import issues where a crash of Unity could lead to a full project reimport in some cases.
  • Implement EditorGUI functions BeginChangeCheck, EndChangeCheck, BeginDisabledGroup, EndDisabledGroup as more high-level alternative to setting GUI.changed and GUI.enabled directly.
  • Import settings are now shown at the top in the Inspector and the imported result below (when relevant).
  • Improve feedback to the UI about which color space is active.
  • Lightmapping Window, Occlusion Window, and Navigation Window now have type based scene filters for quick picking of relevant objects.

  • Show warning about precision errors in Transform inspector if world position exceeds 100.000 in any axis.
  • The Navigation window now lets you change the Navigation Static flag of selected game objects.
  • Transform gizmo now has planar sliders.
  • Undo / Redo now works as expected when enabling and disabling components.
  • Unity can import meshes with vertex count larger than 65000. Instead of aborting import it will split the mesh into parts each containing less than 65000 vertices.
  • Upgraded FBX SDK to 2012.2.
  • When changing numbers using sliders, do context sensitive rounding. The rounding will leave exactly enough decimals to represent the change resulting from moving the slider one pixel. If more decimals are typed in manually, they will not be lost (within the limitations of floating point numbers).
  • When selecting objects of different types, the Inspector will now help narrowing down the selection to objects of only one type.
  • You can now set a default font color via the font importer.
  • Graphics:
  • Extended the maximum number of shader keywords from 32 to 64.
  • For each shader compilation error show the keywords that were used.
  • MaterialPropertyBlock can now have an unlimited number of properties.
  • OnWillRenderObject lets you rotate or slightly move an object before rendering. The updated transform will be used during the render pass. This makes it possible to for example align a billboard only when it is visible using OnWillRenderObject.
  • Lightmapping:
  • Exposed the padding property that controls texel spacing between bake instances.
  • Improved mipmap generation for lightmaps - the space between bake instances is filled with colors coming from those bake instances when going down and up the mip chain. The lighting in smaller mip levels is more accurate and preserves the overall feel of the lightmap better. Please rebake the lightmaps to get the benefit.
  • Made fetching lightmaps use much less temporary memory.
  • iOS:
  • Added Caching.SetNoBackupFlag and Caching.ResetNoBackupFlag to set "No Backup" flag on cache.
  • Added iPhone.SetNoBackupFlag and iPhone.ResetNoBackupFlag to set "No Backup" flag.
  • Caching now set no-backup flag by default on newly added objects.
  • Scripting:
  • JavaScript: Creating a new script automatically adds “#pragma strict” by default.
  • JavaScript: Warn when bitwise operators are used with boolean operands to suggest the shortcircuiting boolean operators.
  • JavaScript: @script attribute declarations can now appear before 'import'.

  • Player: Pre-load asset dependencies when doing Resources.Load/LoadAll to avoid hiccups during runtime.
  • Profiler: Added API to enable binary filedump of profiling data, and API to read it back in the Editor.
  • Reduced memory usage when importing large project folders.
  • Scripting: Added Handheld.use32bitDisplayBuffer to change Display buffer bit-depth at runtime.
  • Scripting: Added WWW.textureNonReadable to mark as non-readable after download.
  • SkinnedMeshes can now be marked as occluders and occludees.
  • Substance import issues with input textures were fixed.
  • Static batch mesh generation (Part of the build process and editor play mode) is now a lot faster.
  • Support copying files from Assets/StreamingAssets for Win/Mac standalone players.
  • Unwrap: All known cases of mac/win uv generation were fixed. Please reimport your meshes.
  • Web Player: If the embedding page or unity3d file is hosted on https, the web player will use https for all connections (update checks and downloads), so the browser will not show warnings about insecure connections.
  • When baking occlusion culling with transparent objects marked as occluders a warning is now given telling you which objects are marked static incorrectly.
  • When imported assets are dirtied because a script modifies the imported asset it will no longer cause the asset to be reimported. Instead it will unload the asset and reload from disk as soon as nothing is referencing the asset anymore. This fixes an issue where a lot of assets would get reimported when shutting down Unity after entering playmode depending on what the scripts did.

New in Unity 3.5.0 Beta 6 (Dec 28, 2011)

  • Major New Features:
  • Adobe Flash: This Public Preview version of 3.5 support publishing to Adobe SWF format, otherwise known as Flash Export: A separate FAQ for this preview release is available at http://unity3d.com/preview/faq.
  • Built-in LOD management via LOD Groups.
  • Lightmap baking works for LODed models. The lightmapped objects uses a surface transfer algorithm similar to normal map baking.
  • Built-in HDR support and adaptive tonemapping.
  • New Particle System - "Shuriken":
  • Edit, view and playback control in Edit Mode. You can manually scrub time to inspect and fine tune the particle system using the Scene View playback controls.
  • Module based: Each particle system has several modules that can be enabled to control color, size and movement of particles.
  • Compose several particle systems in a hierarchy and playback of them will behave as one particle system.
  • Built-in curve editor for easy curve editting.
  • Pathfinding and avoidance sub-system added:
  • NavMesh: Path-finding API. Bake navigation mesh with markup areas.
  • NavMeshAgent: Character navigation. Avoidance system.
  • Occlusion Culling has been rewritten from scratch, it is much faster to compute and never incorrect:
  • OcclusionPortal component has been added to allow for doors that can be opened and closed at runtime.
  • Terrains works well with occlusion culling now.
  • Default mode for occlusion culling is automatic portal generation, which is very accurate and works very well for dynamic objects.
  • Support for Occludee Static. This is used to mark objects as statically occludablable but not be an occluder. For example transparent objects that don't move should be marked as Occludee Static.
  • Asset Cache server:
  • Assets imports are shared between project folders and users. Switching Platform takes minutes instead of hours on large scale projects. Grabbing changes from other team members is almost instant.
  • Gamma-correct rendering option:
  • Multithreaded rendering.
  • Most of rendering & driver overhead is put onto another CPU core on multicore systems.
  • You don't have to do anything, it just works!
  • Currently only on desktops & Xbox 360; and not in the web player yet.
  • Unity for Google Native Client.
  • Light Probes, which allow for using baked lighting on characters and other dynamic objects.
  • Directional Lightmaps support.
  • It is now possible to select and edit multiple objects simultaneously with the Inspector!
  • The Inspector preview supports showing the multiple selected objects.
  • Multi-editing can be enabled for custom editors with a single line of code if they are based on using SerializedProperty.
  • Text based scene and prefab format can be used for improving team workflows. This can be turned on or off per project in the Editor settings.
  • GPU Profiler. Added the ability to see GPU usage to the profiler.
  • A ton of memory and performance optimizations. Several improvements to multithreading.
  • Graphics Features:
  • SkinnedMeshRenderer bounding volume is now always relative to the most common root bone and works much better with Ragdolls: UpdateWhenOffscreen bounding volume option now uses bone relative bounding volumes instead of vertices and is around 100x faster.
  • WebCamTexture class to support cameras!
  • High-resolution screenshots can be done via Application.CaptureScreenshot superSize parameter.
  • Added new Soft Shadows mode for Directional Lights that uses rotated disk sampling pattern.
  • Lightmapping: Added the Area Light (baked only) light type.
  • Lightmapping: Skinned meshes can now be lightmapped. Use for meshes that don't change the pose much after baking.
  • Advanced rendering controls:
  • Image Effects can optionally be applied before any transparent geometries are drawn. Use ImageEffectOpaque attribute on the OnRenderImage function.
  • Subtractive/Min/Max blending support, use BlendOp Min|Max|Sub|RevSub in ShaderLab.
  • Multiple Render Targets, Graphics.SetRenderTarget can take multiple color targets.
  • Ability to share depth buffers between different color buffer targets, see Graphics.SetRenderTarget, RenderTexture.colorBuffer etc.
  • Various graphics optimizations:
  • Optimizations for OpenGL ES 2.0 to avoid performance spikes with dynamic geometry.
  • Optimized culling and shadow caster culling.
  • More low level rendering possibilities from native code Plugins:
  • Ability to access Direct3D 9 device pointer.
  • Plugin callbacks on the rendering thread, so that low-level plugin rendering can co-exist with multithreaded renderer in Unity 3.5.
  • Surface Shaders: added optional final color modifier function (finalcolor directive). This can be used to implement custom Fog on platforms that can't do usual fog (like Xbox 360 or PS3).
  • Added renderer.SetMaterialBlock for lightweight way of adding per-instance material parameters without duplicating the materials. Also, MaterialPropertyBlock does not have fixed small capacity anymore.
  • Quality settings overhaul:
  • Quality settings can now be enabled / disabled per platform. Quality levels that are disabled on a target platform will be stripped on build.
  • Maximum LOD level and LOD bias can be setup in the Quality settings
  • The smallest LOD level in the quality settings will be used to automatically strip higher LOD levels. This makes it possible to strip any high poly models and all their dependencies on low-end devices.
  • Editor Features:
  • Middle-click on any surface in the Scene View to focus on the clicked point.
  • AssetModificationProcessor class API created with custom VCS systems in mind: adds IsOpenForEdit checks on assets which can prevent assets from being edited.
  • The preview in the Inspector can be detached to a separate window.
  • Implemented support for C4D file import from Cinema4D R13.
  • Implemented better detection of imported material types. Unity uses normal-map and transparency properties (texture or factor) to apply one of the shaders: "Bumped Diffuse", "Transparent/Diffuse" or "Transparent/Bumped Diffuse".
  • Implemented import of texture Tiling and Offset values.
  • Implemented support for baking animation through FBX exporter during C4D file import (supported only from Cinema 4D R13, old version use our native IK baker).
  • Mac: Added support for full-screen mode in the new Mac OS X Lion 10.7.
  • Improved preferences window that users can extend using the PreferenceItem attribute.
  • Gizmos can have world-space sizes. Nice, hi-res gizmos were added.

  • GUI class now has a DrawTextureWithTexCoords function for specifying texture coordinates.
  • Entire curves can now be dragged vertically.
  • Gizmos are now depth tested, and exist in world space. The gizmo size can be adjusted using the existing gizmos size slider.
  • It is now possible to mark objects static for different situations (lightmapping, navigation, occlusion ect) via the improved static checkbox.
  • Find objects in scene that reference the selected asset.
  • Small appearance tweaks
  • New Prefab system allows for adding / removing components from instances without breaking the prefab connection.
  • Backwards compatiblity of old prefabs is maintained
  • Made prefabs not show as Missing in play mode
  • Audio Features:
  • Audio buffer read and write access (AudioClip::Get/SetData)
  • Low latency custom filters. Filter/Produce audio at mixer rate with OnAudioFilterRead() callback.
  • Extended inspector GUI support for custom filters (out gain and performance meters).
  • Microphone support on all platforms
  • Mixer settings accesible from script (buffer sizes and samplerate)
  • iOS Features:
  • Implemented Build&Run support for Xcode 4.x. (Not compatible with Xcode 3.x, but might be turned off in Editor settings).
  • Accelerometer frequency now is controlled from Player Settings.
  • Application.targetFrameRate works. Removed kFPS constant due to this. 30 FPS is default
  • Added "Show Loading Indicator" option, to show spinner when loading game.
  • GameCenter support added through the social API (does not include matchmaking and voice features atm).
  • iAd support added.
  • Push notification support added.
  • Compass support added.
  • Camera support added.
  • Microphone support added.
  • Image Filters now determine the format for intermediate Render Targets from currently bound FrameBuffer (most usual - default Display Buffer). So if you use 16bit Display Buffer you will get 16bit rt (RGB565). While it makes image filters a bit faster it also is more gles-conformant. If you want to use Image Filters that needs alpha channel or see banding, please set "Use 32-bit Display Buffer" checkbox in Player Settings, or use newly added Handheld.use32bitDisplayBuffer API.
  • Android Features:
  • Added "Show Loading Indicator" option, to show spinner when loading level synchronously.
  • QualitySettings.antiAliasing now works, allowing you to set AA level at runtime or in Editor.
  • Added "Use 32-bit Display Buffer" and "Use 24-bit Depth Buffer" options.
  • Added Screen.dpi to help determine the need for high/low resolution graphics.
  • Added Joystick / Mouse (USB) support - only available with Honeycomb 3.1 and later.
  • Improved load times with a new file reader backend.
  • Profiler information can now be tunneled over ADB.
  • Input latency is improved, with input events handled in native code with Gingerbread 2.3 and later.
  • Support for Gyroscope / Compass input added.
  • Camera support added.
  • Microphone support added.
  • Added Texture Override for ETC/RGBA16, under Build Settings.
  • Added API targets for Honeycomb 3.2 (MR2) and Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0)
  • Other Features:
  • MonoDevelop: Upgraded to MonoDevelop 2.8.2.
  • Generic Social API added, it supports GameCenter only at the moment and Xbox Live support will be enabled later. Limited dummy functionality runs on unsupported platforms (so code is testable in the Editor for example). Third parties can implement the interface to add support for their implementation on any platform.
  • Physics: Added ConfigurableJoint.swapBodies property to make the joint act as if the two connected Rigidbodies were swapped.
  • AssetPostProcessor can now be versioned. See AssetPostProcessor.GetVersion for details.
  • Asset Server can now be used with Cache Server. Note that this requires committing all assets to the server project after upgrading to 3.5 beta 4 and that the server project will not be usable by older Unity versions after that commit. So remember to back up everything, including the server project.
  • Added Application.StreamingAssetPath which points to the location of the data in the Assets/StreamingAssets folder on all build targets.
  • Added Input.isIMESelected to determine if the user has currently enabled IME conversion mode for keyboard input.
  • All Editor settings files that needs to be versioned has been moved into a ProjectSettings folder.
  • If upgrading an existing project the current settings files will be copied to the new folder.
  • If you are using version control you should upgrade your project by opening it in the editor and then your should remove the old settings files from version control and simply add the ProjectSettings folder.
  • Conclusion: All you need to add to version control from 3.5 beta3 is your Assets folder and ProjectSettings folder.
  • Improvements:
  • All Project Settings are now in a folder called "ProjectSettings" next to the assets folder. This folder should be added to version control. This means that all assets in the library should be only controlled by Unity and never be under version control.
  • Android: Added AndroidJavaRunnable to automatically marshal script delegates to Java code.
  • Android: Automatically unlock device when running development builds.
  • Android: Pass touch and key events directly to native code when using NativeActivity.

  • Editor: The Navigation window now lets you change the Navigation Static flag of selected game objects.
  • Editor: Transform gizmo now has planar sliders.
  • Editor: Undo / Redo now works as expected when enabling and disabling components.
  • Editor: Unity can import meshes with vertex count larger than 65000. Instead of aborting import it will split the mesh into parts each containing less than 65000 vertices.
  • Editor: Upgraded FBX SDK to 2012.2.
  • Editor: When changing numbers using sliders, do context sensitive rounding. The rounding will leave exactly enough decimals to represent the change resulting from moving the slider one pixel.

  • Editor: When selecting objects of different types, the Inspector will now help narrowing down the selection to objects of only one type.
  • Editor: You can now set a default font color via the font importer.
  • GameObject can now use OffMeshLinkGeneration static flag to enable automatic JumpLink and DropLinks only on specific objects
  • Graphics: Extended the maximum number of shader keywords from 32 to 64.
  • Graphics: For each shader compilation error show the keywords that were used.
  • Graphics: MaterialPropertyBlock can now have an unlimited number of properties.
  • iOS: added Caching.SetNoBackupFlag and Caching.ResetNoBackupFlag to set "No Backup" flag on cache.
  • iOS: added iPhone.SetNoBackupFlag and iPhone.ResetNoBackupFlag to set "No Backup" flag
  • iOS: Caching now set no-backup flag by default on newly added objects.
  • Lightmapping: Exposed the padding property that controls texel spacing between bake instances.
  • Lightmapping: Improved mipmap generation for lightmaps - the space between bake instances is filled with colors coming from those bake instances when going down and up the mip chain. The lighting in smaller mip levels is more accurate and preserves the overall feel of the lightmap better. Please rebake the lightmaps to get the benefit.
  • Mac OS X Standalone: Added a "close" button to the player window.
  • MonoDevelop (Unityscript/Boo): Added limited jump to definition support.
  • Occlusion culling baking now doesn't run out of memory.

  • Unityscript/Boo: Optimized multidimensional array operations (up to 100X in some cases).
  • Unityscript: Warn when bitwise operators are used with boolean operands to suggest the shortcircuiting boolean operators.
  • When baking occlusion culling with transparent objects marked as occluders a warning is now given telling you which objects are marked static incorrectly.
  • When imported assets are dirtied because a script modifies the imported asset it will no longer cause the asset to be reimported. Instead it will unload the asset and reloadk from disk as soon as nothing is referencing the asset anymore. This fixes an issue where a lot of assets would get reimported when shutting down Unity after entering playmode depending on what the scripts did.
  • Windows: Connected joysticks are detected at runtime.
  • Fixes:
  • Android: Texture2D.EncodeToPNG() / Application.CaptureScreenshot() produced broken images.

New in Unity 3.4.0 (Jul 27, 2011)

  • Features:
  • Allegorithmic Substance Integration:
  • Native support for Allegorithmic procedural Substance materials.
  • Tweak and change exposed substance parameters right inside of Unity.
  • Change substance parameters at runtime on PC and Mac.
  • Gain major file size savings due to the compactness of procedural textures on PC and Mac.
  • Bake substances into regular textures and materials on mobile platforms.
  • Gizmo and Icon Management:
  • Scene View icons for game objects and script assets can now easily be assigned by using the new Icon Selector opened by clicking on the icon in the Inspector.
  • Rendering of gizmos and icons can now be controlled using the new 'Gizmos' drop-down window found in the toolbar of the Scene View and the Game View.
  • Toggling of gizmos is linked to the collapsed or expanded state of the corresponding components, making it simple to only see the gizmos you need.
  • Support for setting a world size to render all icons with makes it simple to only see nearby icons.
  • Scripting Execution Order
  • Unity now gives you explicit control over the execution order in your scripts. Awake, OnEnable and Update calls are sorted by execution order. Execution order can be defined on a ‘per script’ basis in an easy-to-understand dialog.
  • Downloadable content with caching for complete scenes and asset bundles
  • Caching now works on all platforms. PC/Mac Standalone players and iOS/Android players have access to a 4 GiB dedicated cache for each application. The webplayer has a 50mb shared cache. A larger application-specific WebPlayer cache can be acquired from Unity Technologies. Caching of course greatly improves loading time not only due to the removed download, but also because the cached files are stored already decompressed on disk. Using the caching feature also greatly reduces memory usage since Unity doens't need to keep any additional data in memory. It is strongly recommended that you always use the caching API for large assets.
  • A new function BuildPipeline.BuildStreamedSceneAssetBundle makes it easy to create entire scenes and their dependencies into an asset bundle and download them on demand.
  • Downloading and streaming with the WWW class uses way less memory now. Especially significant when loading from disc using the file:// protocol. You can now load much bigger AssetBundles from disc without running out of memory.

  • Primitive Colliders can now be modified in Scene View by holding down SHIFT.
  • The preview in the Inspector is now resizable and no longer part of the scroll-view.
  • Shadows:
  • Directional Lights got new shadow projection mode, Stable Fit (default for new projects; change in Quality Settings). Old behaviour is Close Fit. Stable Fit results in slightly lower resolution, but shadow boundaries do not shimmer/wobble when rotating the camera.
  • Much improved shadow caster culling (less draw calls). Better sorting of shadow casters for GPU efficiency.
  • Added Very High shadow resolution option.
  • Skinning:
  • SSE2 optimized skinning for Windows & Intel Macs. Improved multithreaded skinning efficiency on Macs.
  • Shaders:
  • #pragma exclude_renderers/only_renderers can now use "shaderonly" (GLES2.0, 360, PS3 etc.) keyword.
  • tex2Dgrad and tex2Dlod are supported when cross-compiling shaders into GLSL.
  • Ability to access per-vertex light data in all platforms including OpenGL ES 2.0. Use float4 unity_LightPosition[4], unity_LightColor[4], unity_LightAtten[4].
  • Added mobile optimized VertexLit and Unlit shaders.

  • Graphics:
  • Improvements:
  • Major performance improvements in OpenGL ES 2.0 (iOS / Android):
  • Much improved performance of shaders that are compiled from Cg/HLSL (e.g. Diffuse for directional light is about 2x faster on iPhone 3Gs). Now fixed/half/float types in Cg map to lowp/mediump/highp precision in GLSL. Use lowest precision type in your shaders!
  • Improved GLSL shader optimizer.
  • Changed normal map compression approach for mobile platforms. It's much faster now!
  • Fog mode can be changed in Render Settings (also from scripts): Linear, Exp, Exp2 (default).
  • Rendering performance optimizations (lower CPU overhead, less memory consumption).
  • Shadows:
  • Forward rendering path supports Point & Spot light shadows again, as well as multiple shadowing lights! Note that by default shaders do not have this enabled, use fullforwardshadows surface shader directive to enable the behavior.
  • Directional Light soft shadows blur width and fadeout speed can be adjusted in Inspector or via script.
  • Exposed Light.shadowBias to scripting.
  • Built-in shaders that perform Deferred Lighting, directional light shadow gathering in Deferred Lighting, and directional light shadow blurring can be overriden. Just drop your own shaders with the same names into the project.
  • Deferred light buffer can be accessed from from Image Effects or other shaders (_LightBuffer).
  • Surface Shader improvements:
  • support world-space normal as input (worldNormal).
  • fullforwardshadows directive to enable all shadows from any lights in forward rendering loop.
  • dualforward directive to enable dual lightmaps in Forward rendering.
  • decal:blend mode for shaders used on decal-like surfaces.
  • nolightmap directive to exclude lightmap support (makes shaders smaller).
  • noambient directive to not apply ambient nor SH lighting.
  • halfasview directive to compute normalized half-direction per-vertex, and pass that to the lighting function. Results in faster Specular-type shaders, however view direction won't be entirely correct.
  • approxview directive to compute normalized view direction per-vertex instead of per-pixel. Results in faster Specular-type shaders, however view direction won't be entirely correct when camera gets close to surface.
  • noforwardadd directive to skip generating forward additive pass. Will make a shader support one full directional light; all other lights will be per-vertex/SH.
  • Shaders: #pragma glsl_no_auto_normalization directive to not auto-normalize normals & tangents in OpenGL ES 2.0 shaders.
  • Shaders: Added TransformViewToProjection to do this properly on mobile devices with regard to orientation (on non-mobile it will be usual multiplication by diagonal terms of projection matrix).
  • Shaders: Added per vertex lit tree shaders previously used in the Bootcamp demo. To be used with Tree Creator trees and located in "Nature/Tree Creator Leaves Fast".
  • Desktop GLSL shaders now allow OpenGL ES precision types to be used.
  • Added GL.GetGPUProjectionMatrix that returns actual projection matrix that will be used in shaders.
  • Added support for 16bit RenderTextures.
  • Scaled meshes are now only recreated if the scale has actually changed. This improves performance hiccups on same games.
  • Texture2D.GetPixel and friends work on RGBA32 textures (common case for uncompressed textures on mobile platforms) in addition to ARGB32 ones.
  • Texture2D.Apply and Texture2D.PackTextures now have additional parameter makeNoLongerReadable (default to false) that will mark Texture as not Readable, and free up system memory after uploading to GPU.
  • Fixes:
  • Shaders: Bunch of fixes to Cg->GLSL shader translator:
  • Translates 'half' and 'fixed' matrix types properly (previously 'half' was translated to high precision, and 'fixed' was not supported).
  • Support lit() built-in function.
  • Fixes to swizzles on floats.
  • Support static qualifier.
  • Better handling of 2D matrix indexing, e.g. matrix[i][j].
  • Shaders: fixed mis-compilation of matrix constructors & matrix indexing when translating shaders to GLSL.
  • Shaders: fixed mis-compilation of modf() and fmod() when translating shaders to GLSL.
  • Shaders: Postprocess Direct3D pixel shaders that come close to 64 instruction limit to work around a crash on Intel GMA 950.
  • Shaders: Fix some bogus error messages when loading Direct3D shaders.
  • Surface Shaders: in case of syntax errors, proper line numbers are reported now... how cool is that? ;)
  • Surface Shaders: support #pragma multi_compile directives properly.
  • Lightmapper fixes:
  • Fixed UV layer creation for Beast. Fixes all the "Duplicate uv layer name" errors.
  • Fixed tiling and offset being ignored for _MainTex on objects using a non-white color.
  • Fixed an issue in Beast causing black areas surrounded by white outlines to sometimes appear in lightmaps.

  • Fixed the issue with 4096 size terrain lightmaps not baking on Mac OS X.
  • Fixed DXT5 alpha channel decompression to better match what GPUs are actually doing.

  • Timestamps no longer lose data by squeezing 64-bit values through 32-bit parameters.
  • Audio:
  • Improvements:
  • FMOD 4.32.02 used across all platform/build targets.

  • Known Issues:
  • When autoconnect profiler is enabled the Editor can become unresponsive after selecting Build and run for Android.
  • Direct Modo file import issues:
  • Files can not be imported from modo 401, due to a problem in Modo batch mode.
  • UV coordinates for some meshes are not imported correctly, due to a problem in Modo Collada plugin.
  • Normals for some meshes are always exported as hard edges, due to a problem in Modo Collada plugin.
  • Unwrap: some implementation details were changed, so you may need to rebake your lightmaps, due to UV changes.
  • 3dsMax reference meshes are not imported correctly (FBX plugins do no export any modifications added on top of the instance), because of the bug on Autodesk side. No changes on Unity side are needed, so it will be fixed as soon as Autodesk fixes FBX plugin for 3dsMax.
  • Materials on instance meshes are not imported correctly - they always share the same material. This happens due to structure of FBX files, so this can't be fixed until Autodesk makes FBX structures more suitable for instanced meshes with different materials.
  • Audio: Seamlessly looping clips breaks when compressed for iPhone/Android.
  • When duplicating a dirty asset its preview in the Object Picker is incorrect until dirty again.

New in Unity 3.1.0 (Nov 26, 2010)

  • New Features:
  • Managed .NET DLLs can now be placed in the project folder and can contain script code, including MonoBehaviours, EditorWindows and ScriptableObjects. This allows you to move any code into a DLL, making code sharing between projects easier, and making it easier for middleware developers to create libraries without sharing the source code. This was introduced in Unity 3.0 but was not mentioned in the release notes.
  • Scripting: Added GL.InvalidateState() to flush the internal renderstate cache in Unity. This is mostly useful when writing native code plugins that access the 3D device.
  • Audio: Added AudioSettings.outputSampleRate. Returns the mixer's output rate; use this to calculate the precise hertz range returned from GetSpectrumData().
  • Fixes:
  • Editor: Fixed out of memory errors when editing very large terrains due to the Undo system.
  • Editor: Fixed "too many open files" error when reimporting a large project with many shaders on Mac OS X.
  • Editor: Some textures would not say "Texture not yet compressed" when importing with the "Compress Textures" preference turned off.
  • Editor: Fixed a bug where upgrading a Unity 2.x project with normal maps would leave some normal maps not marked as Normalmap type properly.
  • Terrain Engine: Unity 2.x Soft Vegetation tree shaders had lighting upside down :)
  • Shaders: fixed Surface Shader compilation errors with large custom output structures.
  • Shaders: wrong syntax in UnityCG.glslinc file (for GLSL shaders).
  • Graphics: fixed Projector crash in some circumstances.
  • Graphics: fixed tangent vectors not bound correctly with GLSL shaders on some GPUs.
  • Graphics: fixed dynamic batching corrupting vertex colors on Direct3D.
  • Graphics: fixed GL.TRIANGLES rendering with large triangle counts on Direct3D.
  • Graphics: fixed some hiccups when changing non-uniform scale of meshes.
  • Graphics: Fixed dynamic batching index overflow.
  • Audio: GetOutputData/GetSpectrumData API changed so it accepts an pre-allocated array instead of allocating on every call. Old API is deprecated and marked obsolete.
  • Unity iOS Fixes:
  • Fixed render texture support on iPad with OS 3.2.
  • Fixed video autorotation. Pinch zoom gesture now disabled during video playback.
  • Fixed stripping of GUI scrollable area.
  • Fixed OpenGL ES 1.1 cache invalidation, which was sometimes causing visual artifacts.
  • Fixed render texture memory leak.
  • Unity Android Improvements & Fixes:
  • Plugins folder is moved; it now uses Assets/Plugins/Android to scan for plugins.
  • Plugins now support standard Android project layout; /assets, /bin, /libs and /res will be merged with the final package.
  • Added 'update necessary' notifcation dialog for Samsung devices running pre-2.2 OS firmware.
  • License Verification Library (LVL) no longer causes a crash.
  • Added iPhoneUtils.isApplicationGenuineAvailable() to be able to determine if application integrity can be confirmed or not.
  • Ignore .meta files (with external version control) when packaging the .apk.
  • Assign DefaultImporter to platform specific plugin assets.
  • Custom manifests are now merged with the properties from the editor (like Bundle Identifier, Version and permission flags).
  • Ship UnityPlayerActivity as source code template for writing plugins with custom activity classes.
  • Added support for translucent (RGBA 8888) rendering surface.
  • com/unity3d/player/UnityPlayerActivity.currentActivity field is now found at com/unity3d/player/UnityPlayer.currentActivity.
  • iPhoneKeyboard is now displayed on top of the application; it supports the basic soft keyboard layouts (URL, Email, Phone, etc).
  • PlayMovie is now displayed on top of the application (instead of in a separate activity); fixes the screenCanDarken issue while playing movies.
  • The editor now checks for device specifications before trying to deploy in Build&Run.
  • The editor will try to locate the JDK based on information stored in the registry on Windows.
  • Fixed C# assemblies being loaded from the wrong thread; was causing crashes if external classes were loaded late at runtime.
  • Fixed render textures on OpenGL ES 2.0.

New in Unity 3.0.0 (Oct 1, 2010)

  • Android Support:
  • Support for Android OS is added in this version.
  • Please note that this an early build and does not represent the final Unity Android quality.
  • Standard Assets:
  • Standard packages split into more specialized and smaller packages.
  • New Image Effects: Sun Shafts (aka God Rays); Bloom & Lens Flares; Vignetting & Chromatic Aberration; Curve based Color Correction; Depth of Field; Contrast Enhance (aka Unsharp Mask); Geometry Outline; Fisheye; Create Shading.
  • Improved particle effects.
  • New Skyboxes with alpha channels to be compatible with Image Effects.
  • New Editor Scripts for useful shortcuts that are not built-in.
  • Improved First Person Controller that uses Character Motor script.
  • New CharacterMotor script for use with CharacterControllers.
  • Proper movement on slopes and steps without loosing grounding.
  • Support for standing on moving platforms with multiple movement transfer modes when jumping off.
  • Variable height jumping and other jump improvements.
  • Improved speed and acceleration control.
  • Customizable sliding and perpendicular jumping can prevent climbing up too steep surfaces.
  • Detached from input so it can be used for first person, third person, AI, etc.
  • New Editor Features:
  • Black is the new 50% gray. Unity Pro got a new look - you can toggle it in the preferences.
  • Procedural Tree Creator. Documentation.
  • Integrated Lightmapping via Illuminate Labs' Beast. Documentation.
  • Automatic generation of lightmap UVs (mesh import setting).
  • Terrains use the same solution and gain a whole new look when used with skylight.
  • You no longer use special "Lightmapped" shaders; all shaders that interact with lighting can handle lightmaps. Dynamic shadows from characters mix with lightmaps properly.
  • Object Selector. We no long show a simple dropdown menu; instead a swanky new window opens up, with previews and everything.
  • Scene View improvements (documentation):
  • Search field with interactive highlighting of objects.
  • Rectangle selection.
  • Vertex Snapping for precise object placement.
  • Live previews of material, prefab and texture drags into the scene view.
  • Improved camera handles, and a camera preview window.
  • Improved light handles.
  • More consistent scene navigation controls.
  • New texture Import Settings dialog with simpler interface & per-platform import settings.
  • New Build Settings window to better support multiple platforms.
  • New and more organized platform-aware Player Settings Inspector.
  • Curve Popup Window:
  • Any public script variable of type AnimationCurve is now exposed in the Inspector as a curve field.
  • Clicking a curve field opens a popup window with a curve editor, similar to the curve editor in the Animation Window.
  • Customizable curve fields can also be used in custom editor windows.
  • Editor checks when new versions are available< and notifies the user.
  • Texture compression is now multi-threaded for faster texture imports on multi-core computers.
  • Asset Server Window:
  • History window shows multiline commit descriptions directly in the list instead of tooltips.
  • Selected history window items are revealed better.
  • Framing (F key) works for history window file list.
  • Remember user/password per host name.
  • Disable merge button in conflict resolution window for non-merge-able items.
  • Improved error reporting for shaders. Shader Inspector also displays the list of errors & warnings for selected shader.
  • Implemented snap to grid in Curve Popup Window and Animation View when holding down Control (Command on OS X). Control/Command no longer adds to selection, but Shift can still be used for that.
  • Editor Console displays total number of errors & warnings in lower right corner.
  • Improved inspector for movie audio.
  • Windows: Double-clicking *.unitypackage will open and import it.
  • Editor API has been expanded: documentation.
  • Added option to search for object types instead of names in the project search field.
  • Can now drag objects onto an array field in the inspector to add them to the array.
  • Can now drag project folders onto the Project Wizard on Mac OS X to select them.
  • Nicer display of thumbnails when dragging tabbed editor windows.
  • Long operations show progress badge on the Unity Dock icon in Mac OS X and on the taskbar button in Windows 7.
  • Added support for touchpad gestures in OS X editor, for maximizing windows (pinch gesture), and switching camera in scene view (swipe gesture).
  • Overdraw visualization mode does not do alpha testing now. Alpha tested pixels still cost on the GPU, so better to visualize the real cost.
  • Animation window can display animation clips from prefab, just click the prefab's root game object.
  • Protect Transform position, rotation, scale against invalid values.
  • Build Pipeline: Typetrees are removed from serialized files (assets) when possible, this make resource files smaller and loading time faster.
  • Double-clicking a Game Object in Hierarchy View will frame select it in Scene View.
  • When going out of Play mode and the Game View is docked together with other tabs, go to last active tab instead of always focusing or creating a Scene View tab.
  • Now the Hierarchy View has a toolbar too.
  • API Compatibility setting in player settings lets you choose your mono profile. Use 2.0 if you're having trouble with 3rd party assemblies (2.0 not available for web player).
  • High resolution icon support for players (Windows: 256x256 and 128x128; iOS: 114x114).
  • Search results in project and scene search are now sorted alphabetically.
  • Inspector Lock got a real button instead of being hidden in a menu.
  • Rotate Tool now includes 'Look At Point' option when Shift + Control/Command keys are held.
  • Audition audio in SceneView. Scene view search now filters audio sources as well.
  • Added Web Player build templates.
  • It is now possible to update Asset Server project to specific revision through command line.
  • New Graphics Features:
  • Static Occlusion Culling using Umbra sPVS.
  • Geometry Batching: static and dynamic batching from Unity iPhone 1.7 comes to all platforms.
  • Rendering paths: (choose in Player Settings or per-Camera; documentation)
  • Deferred Lighting. A deferred rendering scheme, where realtime lights are not horribly expensive anymore. Lighting cost is only dependent on the number of pixels it touches, so you can have lots of small lights for cheap.
  • Vertex Lit. This makes all shaders & lights use fixed function per-vertex lighting. In exchange, this is fast; primarily targeted at mobile platforms and low-end web.
  • Forward rendering path had lots of changes compared to Unity 2.x, see below.
  • Surface Shaders - a much easier way to write shaders that interact with lighting. We don't have the docs for it yet; you'll have to trust us that it's awesome!
  • Speed! We have optimized the rendering code; it's often 20-50% faster than 2.6 in the same scene setups.
  • OpenGL ES 2.0 for iOS and Android. You can use shaders for objects, post-processing effects etc.
  • Regular Cg/HLSL shaders and Unity 3 Surface Shaders will be cross-compiled into GLSL behind the scenes. Resulting GLSL will be optimized as well, because mobile platforms are not very good at optimizing the shaders.
  • Of course, since mobile platforms are not very powerful, you should use OpenGL ES 1.1 if possible.
  • Particle Rotation: Particle.rotation, Particle.angularVelocity and respective properties in ParticleEmitter.
  • Soft Particles! When you use Deferred Lighting and have Soft Particles on in Quality Settings, particles will fade out close to intersections with the scene. All built-in Particle shaders (except VertexLit) support this.
  • Shadowing improvements: use native shadow maps on Direct3D (faster, less memory, native filtering); much reduced self-shadowing artifacts; Soft shadows support for Point lights; much less "shadow halos" around objects for directional light soft shadows; optimized shadows for Forward rendering path (shares depth buffer with main rendering); optimized shaders for directional light shadows.
  • Terrain: Added slider (under Terrain Settings) to control detail object density.
  • Vertex shaders for Shader Model 3.0 on Direct3D9 and GLSL on OpenGL can read from textures.
  • Skybox is rendered after opaque geometry. Improves performance if your application is fillrate bound.
  • Separate Alpha Blending: use Blend ColorSrc ColorDest, AlphaSrc AlphaDest in ShaderLab.
  • In-editor visualization on which objects would use which rendering paths (green/yellow/red for deferred/forward/vertexlit).

  • Some Changes We Did
  • We thought you might want to know about them... Read more in the docs.
  • Graphics Changes:
  • Forward rendering path had lots of changes:
  • Most common case (one directional per-pixel light) is drawn in one pass now! (used to be two passes in 2.x)
  • Point & Spot light shadows are not supported. Only one Directional light can cast shadows. Use Deferred Lighting path if you need more shadows.
  • Most "Vertex" lights replaced with Spherical Harmonics lighting.
  • Forward rendering path is purely shader based now, so it works on OpenGL ES 2.0, Xbox 360, PS3 (i.e. platforms that don't support fixed function rendering).
  • Shader & ShaderLab changes:
  • If you want to write shaders that fully interact with lighting; it's best to use Surface Shaders.
  • Unity 2.x per-pixel lit shaders will need to be manually converted to surface shaders or manually fixed.
  • Shaders are compiled to more targets by default (e.g. OpenGL ES 2.0); you might hit some places where OpenGL ES 2.0 does not like some Cg/HLSL constructs. Either fix the offending places, or exclude shader from OpenGL ES 2.0 via #pragma exclude_renderers gles.
  • Lots of sanitization to built-in variable names (mostly to accommodate new OpenGL ES 2.0, Xbox 360, PS3 platforms).
  • Unity 3.0 will automatically upgrade most of 2.x shaders for syntax changes. This actually modifies your shader files (look for "Upgrade NOTE" in your files).
  • Normal map compression; just mark texture as Normal Map and will be DXT5nm compressed at decent quality. All shaders need to use UnpackNormal(n) instead of n*2-1.
  • Remove concept of "RECT" textures. All non-power-of-two RenderTextures are addressed with 0..1 UVs now (just like in D3D9 in Unity 2.x).
  • Parallax shaders get height from a separate texture now.
  • Self-Illuminated shaders get illumination from a separate texture now.
  • Terrain lighting modes (Vertex/Lightmap/Pixel) are gone. Terrain is lit just like everything else now.
  • When rendering with Shader Replacement, no lighting is ever applied. Skybox, GUI, Halos, Projectors are not rendered.
  • Background shader queue is treated like Geometry now (arbitrary sorting, assumed to be opaque).
  • OnBecameVisible/OnBecameInvisible have slight behaviour changes. For example, now they are not called each frame on a shadow caster that is not visible itself.
  • Self-Illuminated materials calculate emissive color as (material color * texture * illumination); previously was (texture * illumination).
  • Simplified Shadow Bias setting on Lights.
  • Depth render textures on D3D9 use native depth buffer. Value distribution changed from linear to z-buffer like (just like in OpenGL).
  • Spot lights attenuate exactly like Point lights now.
  • Point lights with Cookies actually attenuate now.
  • OnRenderObject script callback behaviour changed. Now those callbacks are called after everything is rendered; not at points in the middle of rendering.
  • Changed the way the Camera-DepthTexture and Camera-DepthNormalTexture shaders are loaded so that they can be overridden when needed.
  • Custom Tree shaders specify their billboard shader via Dependency keyword now (instead of Tag). The billboard shader will be automatically included in the build.
  • Screen space coordinates should use float4 on all platforms (used to be V2F_SCREEN_TYPE). When sampling a texture with tex2Dproj, use UNITY_PROJ_COORD macro around it.
  • Added WorldSpaceViewDir() and WorldSpaceLightDir() functions to UnityCG.cginc.
  • Obscure Graphics Changes That No One Will Probably Notice TM: documentation.
  • Renamed the 2.x tree shaders and the 3.x Tree Creator shaders; both are put under "Nature" section.
  • OnPreCull, OnPreRender, OnPostRender and OnWillRenderObject messages are not sent to disabled behaviors.
  • Old Unity 2.x Lightmapped shaders moved under "Legacy Shaders" submenu.
  • Terrain: Removed the concept of grayscale lighting from terrains.
  • Editor Changes:
  • Unity Editor on Mac OS X requires Intel-based Mac and OS X 10.5 "Leopard" or later.
  • Removed Soft Vegetation option from Quality Settings UI. It does nothing in built-in shaders now.
  • Separated preferences for 3.x and 2.x editors.
  • Removed ancient Dinosaur graphics emulation.
  • Moved "All compile errors must be fixed" notification to scene view notifications (moved it out of console).
  • Made the curve editor send a CurveChangeCompleted event when the curve change has been completed.
  • Create New Project dialog now expects user to select an existing, empty folder on the Mac
  • Mesh Import option "Split Tangents" is on by default.
  • Texture Importer:
  • Bump maps are now referred to as "normal maps" in the editor.
  • Normal maps are labelled as "NM" in their format.
  • PVRTC compression level moved to advanced settings.
  • Generating a Cubemap will make the cubemap be the root asset.
  • Textures that only use one value across the whole alpha channel and that value is not 1 are marked as needing-alpha-channel.
  • The command and control key modifiers in the view tool have been switched on OS X. Now command moves and control zooms. Control still moves on Windows.
  • Physics Changes:
  • Rigidbody mass is no now longer limited to 10000.
  • RaycastCollider is now deprecated.
  • Center of gravity and inertia will now always be automatically recalculated when setting or animating collider properties or positions, unless they had been explicitly set from code before.
  • Slope limit on character controller now works properly above 45 degrees. When loading old scenes the value will be clamped to 45 degrees to mimic the old behaviour.
  • JointDrive.maximumForce will now also be taken into consideration when JointDrive.mode is JointDriveMode.Position. You may need to change your joint setups so that they still work.
  • Unity iOS Changes:
  • iPhoneStreamingAssets is renamed to StreamingAssets and is now located under the Assets folder (visible from within the Editor).
  • Target iOS Version field added to player settings. Now deployment target can be specified separately from active SDK version.
  • "Enable Unity Networking" flag removed from iOS player settings. Now stripping of networking is handled automatically.
  • Most iPhoneInput members moved to Input class.
  • Native plugin support added to both Basic and Advanced Unity iOS licenses.
  • Added support for iPad / iPhone Simulator
  • Hardware audio decoder is now shared between audio clips.
  • Other Changes:
  • Random number generator (Random class) was changed. It is marginally slower, but produces better "randomness", especially in lower bits. Additionally, integer version is not limited to 15 bits range.
  • Internal Random number generators (for Particles etc.) are reset after each level load. Now your particles in any level do not depend on what levels were loaded before.
  • The default runtime font is now Arial 13, as rendered as a dynamic font on Mac OS X and Windows.

  • A flaw in the way 64 bit Windows OS handle structured exceptions for 32 bit applications can cause crashes in Unity players. The issue may surface, for example, if a player running on a 64 bit Windows causes a NullReferenceException to be thrown, even if the exception is handled. This bug affects all 32 bit applications running on 64 bit Windows, including Microsoft .NET applications.
A hotfix solving the issue is available on support.microsoft.com, but of course this does not help your end user. Your best bet is to keep your players exception-free (which is always a good idea), at least until the fix is distributed to end users via Windows update.
  • Touch.deltaPosition and Touch.deltaTime can be inaccurate on Android.
  • Tree Editor Leaves can not be manually rotated.

New in Unity 2.0 (Oct 11, 2007)

  • Web Player
  • The Unity Web Player installation process has been greatly simplified. No browser restarts are required on any browser, no windows are popped up to download the installer, and content starts as soon as the installer is finished.
  • Unityweb files can now be streamed. Assets are automatically reordered in the stream by the first level using them. This is an amazing no-hassle way of streaming web players. Unity essentially does everything for you. In your scripts you simply have to query if the level you are about to load has already been downloaded completely. By ensuring your first few levels are not using a lot of assets, you can start your game with only a minimal amount of data.
  • Web Players data file compresses around 30% better now. Unity now uses the state of the art LZMA compression algorithm. Data files are decompressed on the fly, resulting in shorter load times. We also use solid compression � multiple game levels share the same compression dictionary, this further increases compression ratio.
  • You can now switch to fullscreen in web player from a script. The same rules as for mouse locking apply: user must have clicked on the content before you can go fullscreen.
  • Safari 3 for Windows support as added.
  • Web players on Windows properly pause when browser is in background.
  • Web player progress loading images can now be .pngs with an alpha channel.
  • Added disableContextMenu, disableFullscreen and disableExternalCall embed tags.
  • On Windows, the Unity Web Player can now perform auto-update on non-admin user accounts.
  • Unity and Unity Web Player installers on Mac OS X will now cleanup receipt files in order to work around Apple's installer limitation of not allowing installations of older versions.
  • Made a new CLSID for the Internet Explorer plugin, and new plugin name for Netscape-like browsers.
  • Changed default web player installation path on Windows to [program files]UnityWebPlayer.
  • Added a WWW.URL property.
  • Workflow
  • Automatic Ogg Vorbis converter. Optionally force Stereo or Mono for positional sounds, choose compression and preload settings. MP3 files are automatically converted to Ogg Vorbis by default.
  • Imported Ogg files (audio and video) can be exported via a menu command in the Assets Menu for web streaming.
  • Graphics Card Emulation. You can now simulate older graphics cards from a menu item (Edit > Graphics Emulation). This is extremely convenient to quickly preview how your game looks on that graphics card without different hardware.
  • Texture Atlas generation function added as Texture2D.PackTextures(). Combine multiple textures into a single texture. This is useful for optimizing graphics performance when combining objects which might not otherwise use the same texture.
  • Imported Models can now be post-processed during import. Once the basic importing of a model is complete, MeshImporter.OnPostprocessAsset() will be called. From here you can modify all meshes, GameObjects, Components, etc. to your liking. This allows you to completely customize the asset pipeline. Trees in the Terrain Engine take advantage of this. See the MeshImporter class for details.
  • Textures can be postprocessed in the same way. For example you could invert the colors of an image. Or ensure that normals of a normalmap are always normalized even in the mip levels.
  • 16 more layers have been made available. This is useful for people who have run out of layers to use.
  • Unity Editor
  • The Unity Editor has received a complete facelift! New skin, new buttons, new icons, new gizmos.
  • Reimport your existing 1.6.2 project to see the new asset icons.
  • Optimized drawing of editor views; editor is much faster with complex projects.
  • Progress bar in the editor for building players and Terrain lightmapping.
  • New Directional light gizmo.
  • Integer values can now be right click dragged in the Inspector.
  • Rectangles are now defined as x, y, width, height matching the way they are used in scripting.
  • Pipeline components are not used anymore. You can remove them from your existing objects if they bother you :)
  • Rects, Vector2 and Vector4 can now be serialized in the inspector for scripts.
  • Serialization of arrays in scripts has been greatly optimized.
  • Rendering
  • Rendering system rewritten! A new render pass sorting algorithm is used. Passes are sorted to minimize state changes. The algorithm takes lights and shadows into account. We've seen up to 50% speed increase on real world scenes!
  • Lights have an intensity property. The intensity can be up to 8. This can be used to create very strong lights even if they have a small light range.
  • Skinned Mesh Rendering has been optimized. It is 2-4x faster than in Unity 1.6.2!
  • Lighting from Point lights is much less "blocky" on fragment program capable cards.
  • Vertex lights now match pixel lighting more closely.
  • Specular highlights in builtin shaders are less attenuated now.
  • Orthographic cameras sort transparent objects by distance along their Z axis, which makes 2D games easier!
  • Switching materials from inside OnPreRender/OnPostRender works as expected now. This is useful if you want specific cameras to render with specific materials.
  • Cameras can now be removed or added during any time. Even while drawing/culling another camera.
  • Improved appearance of Particle Additive, Additive-Multiply and Alpha Blended shaders.
  • If some of your particle objects became too bright, make the tint color 2x darker!
  • The change was needed to make particle appearance match in D3D and OpenGL.
  • Changed the order in which cameras are culled & rendered. Before it was like this: CullAllCameras(); RenderAllCameras();. Now the order is per-camera: for( all cameras ) { CullCamera(); RenderCamera(); }. The change should not affect you, but it's now easier to use OnPreRender and friends.
  • Default near clip plane for cameras increased to 0.3. Yay for better depth precision!
  • Added Texture2D.GetPixelBilinear() function.
  • Added Graphics.DrawTexture().
  • All render textures on Mac OS X use OpenGL "frame buffer objects" if available. This makes render textures generally faster.
  • Added Camera.RenderToCubemap for dynamic cubemap reflections.
  • Added Material.HasProperty() function.
  • Render Textures can now use mip maps (mip levels are automatically generated).
  • Textures can now be reinitialized using Texture2D.Resize().
  • Texture2D.ReadPixels() has been added. This has many cool applications.
  • Reading pixels from Texture2D has been optimized.
  • The normal smoothing angle is now also used as a smoothing angle for tangents. This allows for adjusting tangents so that tangent issues with generated normal maps are fixed. For example, this makes normal mapped characters have a lot less seams.
  • Physics
  • Convex Mesh Colliders can automatically be generated from any Mesh, by checking the convex flag. Convex Mesh Colliders can collide with any other Collider.
  • Added Configurable Joint. A highly configurable joint with direct control over all 6 axes, including soft limits. This joint can do just about everything.
  • Added Heightmap Collider.
  • Ageia PhysX has been updated to version 2.6.2.
  • 10x performance optimization when loading collision meshes.
  • Optimized performance of raycasting on PowerPC Macs.
  • Support for cone friction � a more accurate friction implementation. This can be enabled via scripting.
  • Performance for kinematic rigidibodies that are being moved around a lot has been greatly improved.
  • Default values for Hinge Joint are now more intuitive.
  • Ignore collision now also works between two character controllers. Added CharacterController.disableCollision.
  • Slope limit and step offset exposed to scripting in CharacterController.
  • RaycastHit now contains a barycentric coordinate member that can be used to interpolate vertex attributes in the triangle, ie. smoothed normals.
  • The animation system can now apply friction and velocity correctly to kinematic rigidbodies. This allows you to animate platforms and stack boxes or other rigidbodies on top. To enable it you have to make the rigidbody kinematic and turn on Animation.animatePhysics.
  • MovePosition()/MoveRotation() has been added to the rigidbody class, it is useful for animating kinematic rigid bodies so that they apply friction correctly to touching objects.
  • Scripting
  • Support for .NET 2.0 including generics!
  • Full support for eval in JavaScript!
  • Added OnJointBreak() callback when a joint is broken by joint break force.
  • Static variables are now automatically reset when hitting Play.
  • ExecuteInEditMode attribute will make scripts will run in edit mode. This is useful if you want to interact with the editor, for example to see your changes live without entering playmode.
  • WWW class can now perform POST requests in addition to GET requests.
  • WWW class can load PNG images in addition to JPG images.
  • WWW class can read local files using WWW("file://mypathname"). This is disabled in the Unity Web Player.
  • Added WWWForm for easy uploading of forms.
  • Arrays of classes marked are now be shown in the inspector and are serialized. You simply have to give the class the Serializable attribute.
  • Added Texture2D.EncodeToPNG().
  • Added on WaitForFrameComplete() coroutine. This will execute after all rendering is done. Useful for grabbing screenshot and posting to a web server for example.
  • TextAsset class has been exposed to scripting. This lets you easily use text files without having to go through .NET file routines.
  • Added Application.unityVersion.
  • Moved Graphics.deviceName and friends into SystemInfo class.
  • Added Matrix4x4.Perspective for constructing perspective matrices.
  • Coroutines can now take an arbitrary amount of parameters.
  • Creating game objects has been streamlined. You can pass in an optional argument list with several components to automatically add them.
  • Added CloneComponent() function. This is useful for copying individual Components to a different game object.
  • Added Debug.LogError() and Debug.LogWarning() functions.
  • Optimized Vector3 math functions.
  • HideInInspector attribute added.
  • When instancing a material or physics material, "(Instance)" will be appended to it's name. This lets you easily differentiate shared materials and instanced materials.
  • OnEnable() and OnDisable() has been added for ScriptableObject().
  • The seed of a random number generator can now be set from code.
  • Animation.RemoveClip() has been added. This is useful for reducing the set of textures in order to improve performance.
  • HideFlags can be used to specify what is visible in the hierarchy, project view and inspector. You can also use this to make Unity not store an object in a scene.
  • Mathf.Abs() is now also available in an integer version.
  • Renamed Camera.orthoGraphic to Camera.orthographic.
  • Removed Texture2D.frameCount and Texture2D.frame properties. Use arrays of textures and switch them manually.
  • Changed Camera.WorldToScreenPoint(), Camera.ScreenToWorldPoint() and similar functions to use world space depth in Z component, instead of non-linear z-buffer depth.
  • Added DXT1 and DXT5 texture formats for scripting.
  • Shaders
  • GLSL is supported as shader language in addition to Cg.
  • Lots of render queues for shaders! If you want to make something render after opaque things but before transparent things, now you can. See Tags documentation in ShaderLab docs.
  • Comment-style directives for compilation are replaced with more robust and intuitive #pragma directives.
  • Cg compiler updated to Cg 1.5. Shader compilation is much faster due to new batch Cg importer and because Cg 1.5 is Universal Binary.
  • Shaders use #pragma multi_compile tags instead of autolight codes to generate different variants for different light/shadow types.
  • Added AlphaToMask command to ShaderLab (still waiting for Apple to properly implement it in Mac OS X; but it works on Windows now).
  • Writing dummy SetTexture {} commands after fragment programs is not necessary anymore.
  • Renamed some builtin shaders: Alpha -> Transparent, Glossy -> Specular, moved Parallax shaders into corresponding groups.
  • Shaders that contain errors are put into separate submenu in material inspector.
  • Added Shader.SetGlobalVector().
  • Shader.Find() always returns user made shaders if there is also a builtin shader with the same name.
  • Pro Water
  • It works correctly in Scene View! It also just works with multiple in-game cameras.
  • Much improved setup. Just a single script (Water.cs) and a single material to use. Switch between Simple, Reflective and Refractive in the Water script in the Inspector.
  • Best way to upgrade is 1) delete Standard Assets/Water and Pro Standard Assets/Water folders, 2) reimport Standard Assets and Pro Standard Assets packages.
