New 2021.2.0a16 Entries since 2021.2.0a15

Features

  • Asset Import: Updated com.unity.formats.alembic to 2.2.0-pre.3.

  • Core: Added Screen.mainWindowPosition, Screen.mainWindowDisplayInfo, Screen.GetDisplayLayout() and Screen.MoveMainWindowTo() APIs. See Scripting API documentation for more information.

  • Package: (Recorder) Added support for recording accumulation, for motion blur and path tracer (HDRP).

  • Package: (Recorder) Integrated the AOV Recorder into the Recorder package.

  • Search: Added a new explicit provider to search performance metrics.

  • Shaders: Introduced keyword space separation.
    Shaders, compute shaders and materials now operate in separate local keyword spaces. All keywords declared in a shader or in a compute shader using any of the multi_compile* or shader_feature* directives are local. Material and Compute Shader classes now operate with local keywords only.
    Global keyword space contains global keywords. Global keywords are converted to local keyword space of a shader or compute shader prior to rendering. When a shader or a compute shader declares a keyword that has the same name as a global keyword, turning this global keyword on or off will affect variant selection.

Improvements

  • Asset Import: Improved performance of the Model Importer material tab display. (1295743)

  • Audio: Added voice priority display in audio pane of profiler.

  • Audio: Added VU metering information from audio mixer groups in audio pane of profiler to make it easy to compare it against volume and audibility levels.

  • Audio: Improved the way audio mixers are displayed inside the audio profiler pane when the "Groups" and "Channels and Groups" view modes are enabled.
    Previously the column-based sorting from the "Channels" view mode was applied to the other view modes too which resulted in inconsistent ordering of channels and groups below mixers and even mixers changing order dynamically, making the profiler hard to read.
    Additionally the names of the mixers is now shown in the profiler where it currently only showed the ambiguous "Master" groups of the mixers below the "Audio Listener" group.
    Finally the triangle shape after the titles of the column headers in the Detailed and Clip views was changed to an arrow that more clearly indicates the sorting order, and the arrow is now placed before the title instead of after it to avoid cutting it off when the columns are manually resized to fit the window.

  • Audio: Now displays target mixer groups in audio profiler.

  • Editor: Create Empty Parent' now matches selection rect for Rect Transforms.

  • Editor: Optimized Gizmos performance in Editor - down from 6ms to 1.5ms for a complicated scene view.

  • Editor: Texture import settings UI indicates which platforms have override settings, via a blue override line on the platform tabs.

  • Editor: The popup progress bar now displays which assembly contains the code that is stalling the editor, if available.

  • Graphics: Shader preloading now can be performed after the first scene is loaded and can be distributed across multiple frames.

  • Package: (Recorder) Enabled alpha channel capture in projects that use HDRP.

  • Package Manager: Improved performance when browsing "My Assets".

  • Shaders: Removed fixed shader keyword limits. Global keywords are now limited to UInt32 space, local shader keywords are now limited to UInt16 space.

  • Terrain: Improved worst-case performance while painting on high-resolution (2k x 2k or higher) terrain heightmaps. (1283138)
