  • Graphics: Ability to output a CPU event and get it back to the component level

  • Graphics: Add Custom Render Texture API to write your own update loop in C#

  • Graphics: Add ExtensibleCamera that allow to extend a Camera by inheritence.

  • Graphics: Added an experimental ExternalGPUProfiler capture API enables developers to programmatically take GPU frame captures using supported GPU debugging tools.

  • Graphics: Added profiling module for Virtual Texturing to the Unity Profiler to allow users to get performance information about the Virtual Texturing system.

  • Graphics: Added support for importing 16bit per channel integer formats without quantization. This also exposed new TextureFormats R16G16, R16G16B16 & R16G16B16A16

  • Graphics: Adds the option to explicitly evict data in a region; the original invalidate will now keep the original "stale" data on your graphics hardware until refreshed.

  • Graphics: Virtual Texturing is now supported on Universal Windows Platform.

  • IL2CPP: Add Il2CppEagerStaticClassConstructionAttribute which can be used to avoid overhead associated with static constructors.

  • Mobile: Added Adaptive Performance Settings.

  • Package Manager: "Enable Preview Packages" moved in Package Manager Project Settings

  • Package Manager: Add dropdown bouton for preview packages in use

  • Package Manager: Add links in package description so users can copy them.

  • Package Manager: Added changelogUrl and licensesUrl as optional properties which can be specified in a custom package's package.json. If specified, will replace the auto-generated changelog and licenses links with the custom URLs.

  • Package Manager: Added user setting for skipping the 'Asset Store has Moved' window. This setting can be enabled from the 'Asset Store has Moved' window itself. If enabled, this setting will cause the Asset Store to be opened directly in the browser when clicking on 'Window > Asset Store', and the user will not see the 'Asset Store has Moved' window again once they close it.

  • Package Manager: Changed Package Details to display full version of package, with tags (i.e. preview). Also, the '(Current)' note has been removed from Release Details of UPM Packages.

  • Package Manager: Distinguish between operation and state errors

  • Package Manager: Http range request.

  • Package Manager: In the Package manager window, the refresh button is now a dropdown button to choose what kind of refresh the user wants to do.

  • Package Manager: Introduced two new environment variables to override user and global configuration files path. UPM_GLOBAL_CONFIG_FILE overrides the default path of the global configuration file. UPM_USER_CONFIG_FILE overrides the default path of the user configuration file.

  • Package Manager: Made console log errors from Package Manager UI clearly specify they are from [Package Manager Window]. Also modified error messages shown in the UI so that they do not prompt the user to 'see console for more details' if no details are logged in the console.

  • Package Manager: Package details for packages installed locally/from tarball now displays the path they were installed from.

  • Package Manager: Split the package Name into the Name and the organization.

  • Package Manager: Updated the Package Manager window visuals with the primary goal to highlight the usage of preview packages.

  • Particles: Added Local and Shape Scaling Mode support when using Mesh Renderer and Skinned Mesh Renderer in the Shape module.

  • Particles: Query which colliders a particle is interacting with, when using the Trigger module

  • Physics: Expose Joint.connectedArticulationBody to be able to link ArticulationBody and Rigidbody hierarchies together with the means of regular Joints

  • Prefabs: PrefabPostprocessor support

  • Profiler: Added a new Module Editor to support creating custom Profiler modules and visualising user-defined performance counters alongside built-in performance metrics.

  • Scripting: Compile scripts with C# 8.

  • Services: Unity Distribution Portal package support now available in the Services Window

  • Shaders: Implemented Shader Livelink support.

  • Shaders: It is now possible to override shader preprocessor on a per-shader basis

  • Shaders: Scriptable stripping support for compute shaders

  • UI Toolkit: Added TwoPaneSplitView control. Link to Jira Epic https://unity3d.atlassian.net/browse/UR-1228
