  • Animation: StateMachine callbacks (OnStateEnter(), OnStateUpdate() and OnStateExit()) where called twice when a playable was bound to an animator with a state machine. They are now called only once, as expected. (1299849)

  • Animation: Updated sort method for animation clips in animation window using alphanum/natural sort. (1261365)

  • Animation: [Avatar] AvatarBuilder.BuildHumanAvatar sets NaN positions with some avatars. (1200354)
