  • Scripting: Added a parameter to FindObjectOfType and FindObjectsOfType called includeInactive, this will return objects that are also attached to disabled GameObjects. (1142715)

  • Scripting: Implemented Reset behaviour to WaitForSecondsRealtime. (1189949)

  • Scripting: The serializer can now serialize fields of generic types (e.g. MyClass<int> someField) directly; it is no longer necessary to derive a concrete subclass from a generic type in order to serialize it.

  • UI Elements: <Style> can now appear as a direct child of <UXML>

  • UI Elements: <Template> can now appear anywhere in the doc, as long as it is before the <Instance> tag referring to them.

  • UI Elements: Added attribute "type" to ObjectField uxml attributes. This allows for specifying a type and associated Assembly. For example &quot;. If you are unsure of the type string to use, you can use typeof(MyType).AssemblyQualifiedName to get the full string. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.type.assemblyqualifiedname?view=netframework-4.8

  • UI Elements: Added UxmlTypeAttributeDescription. Provides the ability to provide types and assemblies as an attribute in uxml.

  • Version Control: Added "Custom" diff tool option in editor preferences (940881)

  • Version Control: Added 'strip' command to YAMLMerge that can generate a new file with only the differences between the first two

  • Version Control: Inspector import settings Apply button now only checks out the .meta file. For non-Unity assets (images, meshes etc.), Check Out only checks out .meta, and Open checks out the asset. Open button is now enabled for non-checked out assets too. (1162487)

  • Web: UnityWebRequest: Add support for data uploading using GET method. (1183281)

  • Web: UnityWebRequest: the new result property will tell if request is completed successfully or what kind of failure occurred. DownloadHandler class also has new property error, which will give descriptive message if a failure occurred when processing received data.

Features

  • Asset Import: Increased to maximum texture import resolution to 16384

  • Audio: Added support for importing .flac files

  • Cache Server: Added shader variant caching with cache server v2.

  • Editor: Added support for one finger scroll.

  • Editor: Introduction of PreviewSceneStage. Implement custom stages by inheriting from this class.
