• Asset Import: [Experimental] Added experimental API to generate Textures/Sprites from Importer Settings.

• Audio: Added Google's Resonance Audio plug-ins.

• Build Pipeline: Added ability to store and retrieve GameObject references by name through EditorBuildSettings.

• Build Pipeline: Added new API for changing platform icons. It supports platform-specific icon types and multi-layer icons. See documentation on PlayerSettings.SetPlatformIcons for more information.

• Build Pipeline: Added new BuildReport API. Building Players and AssetBundles now returns a BuildReport object that allows you to query information about the build process and outputs.

• Build Pipeline: Android Build & Run now has target device selection in Build Settings. This allows you to deploy to either a specific single device, or to all supported devices simultaneously.

• Cache Server: Added -CacheServerIPAddress command line argument to connect the Editor to specified Cache Server on startup.

• Editor: Added a Clear on play button to the Unity Profiler window.

• Editor: Added a preset class that allows you to save serialized information about a GameObject to a .preset Asset, and apply it later to the same GameObject type.

• Editor: Added new ObjectFactory API that allows you to create a GameObject using default values. See Scripting API and documentation on Presets for more details.

• Editor: Added Templates for 3D, 2D, 3D with Extras (Preview), Lightweight (Preview), Lightweight VR (Preview), and High Definition (Preview) to streamline the new user experience with Scriptable Render Pipeline features, as well as to define better starting points for graphical, player, and lighting settings.

• Editor: Unity now compiles Assembly Definition File (asmdef) assemblies on startup, before any other scripts (such as Assembly-CSharp.dll), and does not stop compilation on the first compile error. Uniy loads all asmdef assemblies that succesfully compile and have all their references compiled, then compiles 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.

• Editor: When running PlayMode and EditMode tests in batch mode, you can now specify which scripting back-end to use, via a Test Settings file.

• GI: Progressive Lightmapper is now out of preview!

• GI: [Experimental] Added experimental API for baking sky occlusion in Progressive Lightmapper. The sky occlusion value for a given input position defines what fraction of the sky is visible for that point. It takes into account any static GameObjects. The sky occlusion allows you to apply the correct amount of sky lighting to GameObjects that are otherwise hard to lightmap, such as trees and foliage.

• GI: [Experimental] Added new experimental C# interface to pass light information to the GI baking back-ends.

• Graphics: Added dynamic resolution support for Playstation 4.

• Graphics: GPU Instancing now supports GI.

  • Unity can now automatically batch GameObjects affected by Light Probes, Occlusion Probes (in Shadowmask mode) or lightmaps, with Foward and Deferred pipeline.
  • Unity can send Light Probe and Occlusion Probe data to Graphics.DrawMeshInstanced using the LightProbeUsage.CustomProvided mode.
  • Added New APIs to calculate probe data and copy it to MaterialPropertyBlock: LightProbes.CalculateInterpolatedLightAndOcclusionProbes, MaterialPropertyBlock.CopySHCoefficientArrayFrom, MaterialPropertyBlock.CopyProbeOcclusionArrayFrom.

• Graphics: Metal: Added support for tessellation using DX11 convention through hull/domain shader stages.

• Graphics: [Preview] High Definition (HD) Render Pipeline (in preview for 2018.1): a modern renderer built on the Scriptable Render Pipeline (SRP).

  • See documentation here: High Definition Render Pipeline overview
  • Blogpost: The High Definition Render Pipeline: Focused on visual quality

• Launcher: The launcher now allows users to select one of the new project templates when creating new projects. Project templates available currently: 2D, 3D, 3D With Extras (Preview), Lightweight (Preview), Lightweight VR (Preview), and High Definition (Preview).

• Multiplayer: You can now set Unity up to send you notifications about defined callbacks when there is something to read or the connection is ready to send information.

• OSX: Added support for IL2CPP scripting backend for Mac Standalone player.

• Package Manager: Added Package Manager User Interface to allow you to manage a Project's packages and discover new packages.

  • The Package Manager UI is itself a package, at version 1.8.8 at this time. Versions 1.8.x of the package are verified for use with 2018.1. Versions 1.9.x or newer may be available for download via the Package Manager UI itself, but are not officially verified for 2018.1.
  • Open the Package Manager from the Editor main menu (Window > Package Manager).
  • The 'In Project' tab shows the packages (and versions) in the current Project.

• Scripting: Added a new command line option, overrideMonoSearchPath, for desktop standalone players (OSX, Windows). This specifies an extra folder to search when Mono is loading assemblies. You can use this to re-use Assets but load different scripts.

• Scripting Upgrade: Added support for Portable PDBs when running with the new scripting runtime.

• Scripting Upgrade: Scripting Runtime Upgrade is no longer in Experimental.

• Video: Added audio sample output API for the VideoPlayer, with support for access from C# or C++.

  • Added ODS rendering support for screenspace shadows via separate ODS world space passes and render textures, to avoid incorrect shadows per eye.
  • Added stereo RenderToCubemap API script support: camera.RenderToCubemap with stereo eye parameter.

Backwards Compatibility Breaking Changes

• Particles: Removed Legacy Particle System script bindings.

• Tizen: Removed Tizen mobile support.

Changes

• Android: Input field character now always appears at the end of text when opening keyboard. (966477)

• Android: Newly created projects now default to ARMv7 CPU architecture.

• Android: Removed support for UnityPlayerProxyActivity.

• Android: SDK Platform 26 now required to build for Android.

• Android: Unity now creates a 2048-bit RSA key for signing the APK.

• Android: Updated JDK requirements to JDK 8. This a requirement from the latest Android SDK.

• Animation: Starting play mode while editing an Avatar configuration will no longer change the current scene. (916586)

• Audio: Added error message when calling AudioSource.GetSpectrumData or AudioListener.GetSpectrumData with float arrays that are not a power of 2 or are outside the valid range between 64 and 8192 samples. (827154)

• Editor: Added InspectorWindow.OnPostHeaderGUI callback to allow drawing of custom GUI elements in the inspector window.

• Editor: Compiling 'unsafe' C# code now requires the "Allow 'unsafe' code" option to be enabled in the player settings for predefined assemblies (Assembly-CSharp.dll, etc.) and in the inspector for Assembly Definition Files assemblies. Enabling this option will make Unity pass the /unsafe option to the C# compiler when compiling scripts.

• Editor: Removed MonoDevelop 5.9.6 from macOS and Windows installers and deprecated support for it in Unity. Visual Studio for Mac is installed as the C# code editor on macOS and Visual Studio 2017 Community on Windows.

• Editor: Removed the "Intensity" float field next to HDR texture fields in Material editors. Use the exposure controls in the Color Picker instead.

• Editor: Substituted "intensity" float field in the Static Emissives tab of the Light Explorer for HDR color field; instead use the exposure controls in Color Picker.

• Editor: The plug-in code that creates Textures used in rendering with IMGUI should now avoid specifying them in linear space (i.e. should set the linear parameter to false in the Texture2D constructor). Otherwise, GUI elements drawn with such textures might look washed out when the project is working in Linear space (Player Settings > Color space: Linear). (908904)

• GI: Support for hiding and disabling GI features when making a render pipeline.

• Graphics: Deprecated PlayerSettings.defaultIsFullscreen. Use PlayerSettings.fullscreenMode instead.

• Graphics: GraphicsSettings shaders are no longer loaded on startup.

• Graphics: Metal tessellation: Improved shader importing error reporting for when features are unsupported.

• IL2CPP: Deprecated BuildOptions.IL2CPP, which never actually did anything. (986326)

• iOS: Increased min target iOS version to 8.0.

• iOS: iOS now links with Security framework by default. To remove it, set a pre-processor define DISABLE_WEBREQUEST_CERTIFICATE_CALLBACK and remove "Security" from the list of linked frameworks in Xcode.

• iOS: ScreenOrientation.Unknown is deprecated.

• OSX: Metal is now the default graphics backend for Editor.

• 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.

• Services: Replaced web-based Collab history window with improved RMGUI version.

• Substance: Built-in support for Substance Designer materials is deprecated in Unity 2017.3, and will be removed in 2018.1. To continue using Substance Designer materials in Unity 2018.1, you will need to install a suitable third-party external importer from the Asset Store.

• Universal Windows Platform: Build & Run now defaults to 64-bit player when running on local machine.

• Web: AssetBundle-related parts of UnityWebRequest have been split into a new module, allowing UnityWebRequest to be used without pulling in AssetBundle module. API change: UnityWebRequest.GetAssetBundle -> UnityWebRequestAssetBundle.GetAssetBundle.

• WebGL: Removed experimental label from WebAssembly linker target.

• Windows: Removed support for Windows XP in Standalone Player builds. Windows Vista is the minimum supported OS now.

• Windows: The Build Player location selection dialog now asks for a folder rather than a file name when building Windows standalone player. The BuildPipeline.BuildPlayer API is not affected by this change. (995320)

• XR: Standalone UWP applications targeting Windows Mixed Reality now cause the OS to notify you if the Mixed Reality components are not installed or a headset is not connected, rather than silently falling back to non-VR desktop mode.

• XR: Updated Google VR:

  • to 1.130 for Android
  • to 1.120 for iOS

• Graphics: Change to allow you to attach async compute command buffers to Cameras and Lights.

• Graphics: Enabled instancing flexible array size for Vulkan.

• Graphics: Improved shader import handling when using #pragma target. If you are not using #pragma geometry, #pragma hull or #pragma domain statements to specify entrypoint functions, Unity drops these shader features (geometry or tessellation) from the internal shader capabilities requirement, allowing greater compatibility across non-DX11 graphics targets. In practise, this now allows using #pragma target 5.0 with Metal, as long as geometry shaders are not used.

• Graphics: Improved Mesh.CombineMeshes to include only vertices of selected submeshes instead of the entire Mesh. (895464)

• Graphics: In forward rendering, Unity no longer fetches 2x2 white shadowmask textures when lighting a dynamic GameObject with a Mixed light using baked occlusion. (952761)

• Shaders: Added a more granular way of specifying shader compilation requirements, compared to #pragma target.

  • #pragma require XYZ for specific features that the shader requires.
  • SHADER_REQUIRE_XYZ and SHADER_AVAILABLE_XYZ preprocessor defines are passed to shaders, based on which features are requested or are available.

• Shaders: Added Windows support for shader include absolute paths longer than 260 characters.

• Shaders: Compute shaders are now included in the shader cache. For example, tweaking a shader and then reverting the change fetches the shader from the cache instead of recompilation.

• Shaders: Compute shaders now support #pragma exclude_renderers and #pragma only_renderers.

• Shaders: Global shader properties are now visible to compute shaders. A global property value is used if the property is not set locally for the compute shader.

• Shaders: Improved shader compilation speed.

• Shaders: Proper shader include dependency tracking implemented. Whenever a shader include file is modified all the dependent shaders - and nothing else - will get reimported. (646064, 916386, 957024)

• Shaders: Surface Shaders with many multi_compile/shader_feature variants import several times faster now (internally, Unity now multi-threads that process).

• Editor: Added Templates for 3D, 2D, 3D with Extras (Preview), Lightweight (Preview), Lightweight VR (Preview), and High Definition (Preview) to streamline the new user experience with Scriptable Render Pipeline features, as well as to define better starting points for graphical, player, and lighting settings.

  
  

• Editor: Unity now compiles Assembly Definition File (asmdef) assemblies on startup, before any other scripts (such as Assembly-CSharp.dll), and does not stop compilation on the first compile error. Uniy loads all asmdef assemblies that succesfully compile and have all their references compiled, then compiles 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.

• Editor: When running PlayMode and EditMode tests in batch mode, you can now specify which scripting back-end to use, via a Test Settings file.

• GI: Progressive Lightmapper is now out of preview!

• GI: [Experimental] Added experimental API for baking sky occlusion in Progressive Lightmapper. The sky occlusion value for a given input position defines what fraction of the sky is visible for that point. It takes into account any static GameObjects. The sky occlusion allows you to apply the correct amount of sky lighting to GameObjects that are otherwise hard to lightmap, such as trees and foliage.

• GI: [Experimental] Added new experimental C# interface to pass light information to the GI baking back-ends.

• Graphics: Added dynamic resolution support for Playstation 4.

• Graphics: GPU Instancing now supports GI.

  • Unity can now automatically batch GameObjects affected by Light Probes, Occlusion Probes (in Shadowmask mode) or lightmaps, with Foward and Deferred pipeline.
  • Unity can send Light Probe and Occlusion Probe data to Graphics.DrawMeshInstanced using the LightProbeUsage.CustomProvided mode.
  • Added New APIs to calculate probe data and copy it to MaterialPropertyBlock: LightProbes.CalculateInterpolatedLightAndOcclusionProbes, MaterialPropertyBlock.CopySHCoefficientArrayFrom, MaterialPropertyBlock.CopyProbeOcclusionArrayFrom.

• Graphics: Metal: Added support for tessellation using DX11 convention through hull/domain shader stages.

• Graphics: [Preview] High Definition (HD) Render Pipeline (in preview for 2018.1): a modern renderer built on the Scriptable Render Pipeline (SRP).

• Android: Newly created projects now default to ARMv7 CPU architecture.

• Android: Removed support for UnityPlayerProxyActivity.

• Android: SDK Platform 26 now required to build for Android.

• Android: Unity now creates a 2048-bit RSA key for signing the APK.

• Android: Updated JDK requirements to JDK 8. This a requirement from the latest Android SDK.

• Animation: Starting play mode while editing an Avatar configuration will no longer change the current scene. (916586)

• Audio: Added error message when calling AudioSource.GetSpectrumData or AudioListener.GetSpectrumData with float arrays that are not a power of 2 or are outside the valid range between 64 and 8192 samples. (827154)

• Editor: Added InspectorWindow.OnPostHeaderGUI callback to allow drawing of custom GUI elements in the inspector window.

• Editor: Compiling ‘unsafe’ C# code now requires the “Allow ‘unsafe’ code” option to be enabled in the player settings for predefined assemblies (Assembly-CSharp.dll, etc.) and in the inspector for Assembly Definition Files assemblies. Enabling this option will make Unity pass the /unsafe option to the C# compiler when compiling scripts.

• Editor: Removed MonoDevelop 5.9.6 from macOS and Windows installers and deprecated support for it in Unity. Visual Studio for Mac is installed as the C# code editor on macOS and Visual Studio 2017 Community on Windows.

• Editor: Removed the “Intensity” float field next to HDR texture fields in Material editors. Use the exposure controls in the Color Picker instead.

• Editor: Substituted “intensity” float field in the Static Emissives tab of the Light Explorer for HDR color field; instead use the exposure controls in Color Picker.

• Editor: The plug-in code that creates Textures used in rendering with IMGUI should now avoid specifying them in linear space (i.e. should set the linear parameter to false in the Texture2D constructor). Otherwise, GUI elements drawn with such textures might look washed out when the project is working in Linear space (Player Settings > Color space: Linear). (908904)

• GI: Support for hiding and disabling GI features when making a render pipeline.

• Graphics: Deprecated PlayerSettings.defaultIsFullscreen. Use PlayerSettings.fullscreenMode instead.

• Graphics: GraphicsSettings shaders are no longer loaded on startup.

• IL2CPP: Deprecated BuildOptions.IL2CPP, which never actually did anything. (986326)

• iOS: Increased min target iOS version to 8.0.

• iOS: iOS now links with Security framework by default. To remove it, set a pre-processor define DISABLE_WEBREQUEST_CERTIFICATE_CALLBACK and remove “Security” from the list of linked frameworks in Xcode.

• iOS: ScreenOrientation.Unknown is deprecated.

• OSX: Metal is now the default graphics backend for Editor.

• 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.

• Services: Replaced web-based Collab history window with improved RMGUI version.

• Substance: Built-in support for Substance Designer materials is deprecated in Unity 2017.3, and will be removed in 2018.1. To continue using Substance Designer materials in Unity 2018.1, you will need to install a suitable third-party external importer from the Asset Store.

• Web: AssetBundle-related parts of UnityWebRequest have been split into a new module, allowing UnityWebRequest to be used without pulling in AssetBundle module. API change: UnityWebRequest.GetAssetBundle -> UnityWebRequestAssetBundle.GetAssetBundle.

• WebGL: Removed experimental label from WebAssembly linker target.

• Windows: Removed support for Windows XP in Standalone Player builds. Windows Vista is the minimum supported OS now.

• Windows: The Build Player location selection dialog now asks for a folder rather than a file name when building Windows standalone player. The BuildPipeline.BuildPlayer API is not affected by this change. (995320)

• XR: Standalone UWP applications targeting Windows Mixed Reality now cause the OS to notify you if the Mixed Reality components are not installed or a headset is not connected, rather than silently falling back to non-VR desktop mode.

• Graphics: Improved shader import handling when using #pragma target <version>. If you are not using #pragma geometry, #pragma hull or #pragma domain statements to specify entrypoint functions, Unity drops these shader features (geometry or tessellation) from the internal shader capabilities requirement, allowing greater compatibility across non-DX11 graphics targets. In practise, this now allows using #pragma target 5.0 with Metal, as long as geometry shaders are not used.

• Graphics: Improved Mesh.CombineMeshes to include only vertices of selected submeshes instead of the entire Mesh. (895464)

• Graphics: In forward rendering, Unity no longer fetches 2x2 white shadowmask textures when lighting a dynamic GameObject with a Mixed light using baked occlusion. (952761)

  • SHADER_REQUIRE_XYZ and SHADER_AVAILABLE_XYZpreprocessor defines are passed to shaders, based on which features are requested or are available.

• Shaders: Added Windows support for shader include absolute paths longer than 260 characters.

• Shaders: Compute shaders are now included in the shader cache. For example, tweaking a shader and then reverting the change fetches the shader from the cache instead of recompilation.

• Shaders: Compute shaders now support #pragma exclude_renderers and #pragma only_renderers.

• Shaders: Global shader properties are now visible to compute shaders. A global property value is used if the property is not set locally for the compute shader.

Revision: 574eeb502d14

2017.3.0f3 Release Notes (diff since 2017.3.0f2 at the end)

SDKs

• Vuforia: SDK v.7.0.36 link

Features

• Analytics: Added support to capture VR device refresh rate, dimension, aspect ratio, HMD tracking and Controllers tracking as part of device info and device status events.

• Animation: Added support for integer and enum animation.

• Asset Pipeline: Added AssetDatabase.ForceReserializeAssets API. This method allows you to proactively load, upgrade, and write back to disk any Asset or Scene files in the project. When project upgrades cause serialization changes to Assets and metafiles, Unity writes these changes to disk separately from regular development iterations.

• Editor: Added assembly definition files for script compilation pipeline in the editor. This allows you to define your own managed assemblies based on scripts inside a folder. Splitting your project's scripts into multiple assemblies can greatly reduce script compilation times in the Editor. 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.

• Editor: Added events: MouseEnter, MouseLeave, MouseOver, MouseOut, AttachToPanel, DetachFromPanel, PostLayout.

• Editor: Added Focus events that notify UIElements when they gain or lose focus (the focused element receives keyboard input), and a focus ring, which is a circular list of UIElements that gives the order in which they receive the focus when you press Tab or Shift+Tab.

• Editor: Added the Transform Tool, a single Gizmo you can use to move, rotate and scale in the Unity Editor.

• Editor: You can now use DX12 API in the Editor.

• Facebook: Segmented the uploader for the Facebook platform.

• GI: Added support for HDR compressed lightmaps (BC6H) on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. To enable this, go to Player Settings and set the Lightmap Encoding option to High Quality.

• Graphics: Added a new method, ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshotAsTexture. Use this to save screenshots taken with ScreenCapture as Textures in the Editor.

• Graphics: Added Crunch compression support for ETC_RGB4 and ETC2_RGBA8 textures. Improved compression ratio and speed for DXT Crunch.

• Graphics: Added Dynamic Resolution as an engine feature, debuting on Xbox One platform.

• Graphics: Added support for multisampled Textures in Shaders. To use a multi-sampled Texture in a Shader, declare it as Texture2DMS (or, for example, float for a single-channel texture), and then sample as described in Microsoft's documentation on Texture2DMS::Load methods. You must create the corresponding RenderTexture with the bindMS flag set on the RenderTextureDescriptor, or set the bindTextureMS flag after creation on the RenderTexture itself.

• Graphics: Support for 32 bit Mesh index buffers:

  • By default, meshes larger than 65k vertices get imported with a 32 bit index buffer. Smaller meshes still use 16 bit indices.
  • Added Index Format setting to Mesh Importer to override this behavior.
  • Added Mesh.indexFormat to scripting API for Meshes created at run time.

• Kernel: Added new argument -systemallocator. This disables Engine management of allocations, and instead uses system allocations. This is useful when using external tools for memory debugging.

• Particles: Added a new Speed Modifier option in the Particle System Velocity Module. Use this to control particle speeds without changing their directions.

• Particles: Added Unlit and Surface shaders for use with Particle Systems.

• Particles: Ribbonized Particle Trails.

• Physics: Exposed a new broadphase algorithm called Multi-Box Pruning, which is based on subdividing the world boundaries. This helps to overcome the performance issues in the standard sweep-and-prune approach, by exluding the excess checks of bodies that are far away but overlap each other along one of the principal axes. Access Multi-Box Pruning in the Unity Editor's Physics Settings.

• Physics: Exposed new settings in the Physics Manager: Contacts Generation, Contact Pairs, and Broadphase Type. This allows receiving the collision and trigger events from kinematic-kinematic and kinematic-static contact pairs.

• Physics: Exposed MeshCollider.cookingOptions. Cooking options allow you to enable or disable certain features in Mesh cooking (the process of turning a normal Mesh into a Mesh that is suitable for use in the physics system). These options can help you achieve a much shorter cooking time. This API requires that you manually check the input data for validity.

• Playables: Added new delay feature for IPlayables.

• Playables: Added new Video Playables Integration.

• Profiler: Added API for custom threads profiling: Profiling.BeginThreadProfiling, and Profiling.EndThreadProfiling.

• Scripting: Added command line option "overrideMonoSearchPath" for desktop standalone players (OSX, Windows). "overrideMonoSearchPath" specifies an extra folder to search when Mono is loading assemblies. One intended use is to have two versions of the same project (such as a trial version and a full version). The Assets are the same, but the scripts are different. You can use this command line option to re-use the Assets, but load different scripts.

• Scripting: Added Mono/.NET 2.0 support for Memory Profiler. See more on GitHub.

• Services: Analytics Standard Events and Tracker are now built into the editor.

• Services: Performance Reporting Service: Added support for MacOS native crashes.

• Video: Added panoramic 360/180 2D/3D video workflows.

• Video: Introduced UnityEngine.Media.MediaEncoder to expose the VideoClipImporter encoders. This allows you to create movie files via script.

• XR: Added a new option in the Windows MR Player Settings called Enable Depth Buffer Sharing. This allows the OS to better stabilize images without the need to manually set the focus plane. For more information about the benefits of image stabilization, see Microsoft's documentation on Hologram Stability.

• XR: Added new UI to Daydream VR Device configuration, to support new 6DOF Standalone devices.

• XR: Added support for Oculus Dash and Depth Buffer Sharing. Depth sharing makes opaque objects semi-transparent when in front of Dash. Both features can be toggled via the Depth Buffer Sharing and Dash Support checkboxes in the Oculus Player Settings

• XR: Added XR support to Experimental Scriptable Render Pipelines.

Backwards Compatibility Breaking Changes

• Graphics: Removed DirectX 9 support from Windows Editor & Standalone. See blog post.

• Package Manager: Added upmResetToEditorDefaults command-line option and menu item to reset packages to Editor defaults.

• Profiler: Improved profiler data serialization for Players - lower memory overhead, better performance.

• Shaders: Concatenated matrix macros (e.g. UNITY_MATRIX_MVP) are now changed to static variables to avoid repeated calculations.

• Substance: Deprecated built-in support for Substance Designer materials. This support will be removed in 2018.1. To continue using Substance Designer materials in Unity 2018.1, you need to install a suitable third-party external importer from the Asset Store.

• UI: Unity no longer resets the LookDev camera when you create a new Scene. (938493)

• XR: Improved the way XR devices pause/unpause applications, particularly when pausing as a result of application focus being lost. Unity now handles overlapping pause conditions correctly, regardless of the order in which they occur.

• XR: Removed padding on double-wide texture used with Single Pass.

Improvements

• 2D: Exposed methods to set and retrieve Physics Shape from a Sprite.

• 2D: If you use Shift-Click to do picking for Tile Palette, Unity now switches back to the original tool after picking is done.

• 2D: Unity now displays a confirmation dialog box when you create new Tile Assets that overwrite existing Tile Assets.

• 2D: Unity now saves changes to the Tile Palette when you stop editing the Tile Palette, or when you save the project.

• Android: Added a new way to handle audio focus in Android Oreo.

• Android: Added the option to configure Texture decompression format on Android devices that have no ETC2 Texture format support.

• Android: Updated Gradle version and made it the default build system for Android.

• Android: [OpenGL ES] Added support for preserving the framebuffer alpha.

• Animation: Added a 2D mode to the Animation Previewer.

• Animation: Added new Translation DoFs for Arms, Legs and Head for Humanoid animation and retargeting. This converts translations (also known as stretch) found on imported animations to retargetable Humanoid animations.

• Animation: Added zoom in the Animator Window.

• Animation: Entry, Exit and AnyState StateMachine Transitions can now be copy-pasted. (921705)

• Animation: Framing a single key does not give proper context for manipulation in the curve editor, so we included neighbouring keys.

• Asset Import: Added Preserve Hierarchy toggle to the Model Importer, to prevent Unity stripping the root transform when the model has a single root.

• Asset Import: Added AssetPostprocessor.OnPostprocessMaterial.

• Asset Import: Exposed ModelImporter.MaterialLocation to allow you to switch the Iaterial import location in AssetPostprocessor scripts.

• Asset Import: Material workflow enhancement: added the ability to remap all embedded materials to existing material assets in the project, using the same heuristics as the legacy system

• Asset Import: You can now skip Video Clip transcoding during import. If you do so, Unity uses a non-transcoded version of the video instead.

• DX12: Native Rendering Plugin: Exposed and implemented native RenderBuffer resource retrieval, and fixed multithreading issues.

• Editor: Added UnityEngine.Networking.PlayerConnection.ConnectedPlayer.Name. This makes it easier for you to identify connected players.

• Editor: Connected Players now only show debug logging in Editor console, not all of stdout. Added an option to disable player logging in the Editor console.

• Editor: Fixed over 120 missing or incomplete tooltips in the Unity Editor.

• Editor: If Edit mode and Play mode tests produce files without proper cleanup, Unity now logs a warning.

• Editor: It is now possible to adjust the number of lines per log row in the Console window.

• Editor: Updated UnityShaderCompiler tool for macOS and Linux to 64bit. This improves shader compilation performance.

• Editor: You can now double-click a Scene file in the Build List to highlight Scenes in the Project view.

• Editor: You can now select which Xcode version to build your project with on MacOS.

• GI: Before, all trees, lightmap static or not, would cast baked shadows on Terrain. Now Unity honors the Static flag on the prefab.

• GI: Fixed debugging textures for GI. It's now easier to tell when they should be availble, and why they might be missing.

• GI: Legacy trees and prefabs that don't have a LOD group now cast baked shadows on Terrain. (685764)

• GI: Made spot light and point light fall-off match real-time fall-off in Progressive Lightmapper.

• Graphics: Added "base vertex" functionality to Mesh.SetIndices, to allow meshes larger than 65k vertices when using 16 bit index buffer..

• Graphics: Added GPU selection in metal for MacEditor and MacStandalonePlayer.

• Graphics: Added non-allocating overloads for GeometryUtility.CalculateFrustumPlanes.

• Graphics: Fixed Occlusion culling regression that was causing objects to be incorrectly culled. (972075)

• Graphics: GPU Instancing: Instance properties are now packed as arrays of structures. Internally, we changed the constant buffer layout, where multiple instance properties are present. There are three changes in the instancing declaration macros, but the old shaders can be upgraded automatically. For your reference, the three changes are:

  1. UNITY_INSTANCING_CBUFFER_START/END renamed to UNITY_INSTANCING_BUFFER_START/END.
  2. UNITY_INSTANCING_BUFFER_END now takes an arrayName in the parentheses.
  3. UNITY_ACCESS_INSTANCED_PROP must now be provided with the arrayName in the first argument to indicate where this property comes from. Note that if graphics jobs are not enabled, the CPU-side processing of instance property values are optimized and off-loaded to a worker thread to further reduce CPU cost.

• Graphics: GPU Instancing: Introduced a new feature on most platforms, called "flexible instancing array sizes". This means you no longer need to specify instancing array sizes. Instead, Unity calculates it from the next draw's instance count.

  • This greatly reduces shader compiling time for instancing variants.
  • If you always take the maximum constant buffer size allowed by the device, then divide by the instance data structure size, you can further reduce instance batch count, especially on OpenGL and Metal.
  • This introduces moderate performance improvements, especially for Scenes with lots of small batches. particularly useful if you rely on Unity renderloops to automatically batch instances for you.

• Graphics: Improved documentation for graphics hardware tiers.

• Graphics: Improved motion vectors precision when dynamic batching is disabled.

• Graphics: Introduced various performance and memory consumption optimizations to the Vulkan renderer.

• Graphics: Optimized Point Light real-time shadows for D3D11.

• Graphics: Updated compute shader API: Added SetMatrix, SetMatrixArray and SetVectorArray for SetComputeXXX and for command buffer.

• Graphics: Vulkan: Implemented multidisplay support for the Vulkan rendering back-end (Windows/Linux).

• Graphics: [Metal] Eliminated Z-fighting artifacts on certain devices.

• iOS: Exposed PlayerSettings.iOS.disableDepthAndStencilBuffers in scripting API. (938696)

• iOS: [Metal] Improved render thread scheduling.

• Linux: Enabled Wayland support (experimental, requires -force-wayland command line argument).

• Linux: Updated to SDL 2.0.5.

• Mobile: Engine code stripping now works on Android.

• OSX: Fixed input configuration behaviour in launcher window, sharing code used elsewhere.

• Package Manager: Added update to allow you to reset Project packages to Editor defaults.

• Particles: Added a Resimulate checkbox for previewing all looping Particle Systems in Edit Mode.

• Particles: Added an option to the Scene View FX dropdown to toggle the visibility of Particle Systems.

• Particles: Added script accessors for animatedVelocity and totalVelocity/ These allow you to query the total velocity of a particle from script, rather than just the physics velocity.

• Particles: Added support for Meshes using lines and linestrips for particle Shape Module spawning. (931662)

• Particles: Added update to display particle stats in Editor Play Mode for selected systems.

• Particles: Improved the workflow for creating multiple Particle Systems inside a shared GameObject hierarchy: The Particle System no longer resumes playing a paused preview when you select systems belonging to the same effect.
