2017.2.0f1 Release Notes (Full)

System Requirements Changes

  • Removed iOS 6.0 support. The minimum supported version is now 7.0.

Features

  • 2D: Added Tilemap.

  • Asset Import: Added support for animated custom properties from FBX. description

  • Asset Import: Added support for Stingray material import from FBX. description

  • GI: Added support for per-object cast and receive shadows in the Progressive Lightmapper. For Cast Shadows, only On and Off options are supported.

  • GI: Per-object lightmap seam stitching for Progressive Lightmapper. description

  • GI: Profiler for Realtime Global Illumination.

  • GI: Support for double-sided materials in Progressive Lightmapper. Added a new material setting that causes lighting to interact with backfaces. When enabled, both sides of the geometry get accounted for when calculating Global Illumination. Backfaces do not count as invalid when seen from other objects. Backface rendering is not controlled by this setting nor will backfaces be represented in the lightmaps. Backfaces bounce light using the same emission and albedo as frontfaces.

  • Graphics: Implemented Display-P3 color gamut support for iOS and macOS. A "color gamut" player setting has been added, which will eventually cover other platforms with wide color gamut support.

  • Multiplayer: New QoS options for delivery of large messages: reliable or unreliable, and un-ordered (fragmented) or ordered (fragmented sequenced).

  • OSX: Added support for Retina in macOS standalone builds.

  • Package Manager: In 2017.2, we are introducing Unity Package Manager. This will be the first stepping stone for the system. We are taking an incremental approach to integrate the system into the Unity ecosystem. It will grow with more features over time. For this first release, we avoid exposing user facing features. Instead, we are exposing an API for enabling internal components to be updated more frequently than the editor (the first pillar of the system).

  • Particles: Added Linear Drag support for Particles. The new options can be found in the Limit Velocity over Lifetime Module. description

  • Particles: Added new option to allow Particle Systems to be destroyed or disabled when they finish playing. description

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

  • Timeline: Added support for Avatar Masks on Animation Tracks.

  • Video: Added pixel aspect ratio support for non-square pixel.

  • WebGL: Added linear rendering to WebGL 2.0

  • XR: Added support for certain aspects of the Vive HMD to be simulated in-Editor without the need of a physical HMD. Enable by using the "Mock HMD - Vive" virtual reality SDK in the player settings. The mock HMD uses the same asymmetric projection matrix, hidden occlusion mesh, field of view, aspect ratio, and eye texture size as the Vive. Mock HMD can be used with both multi and single pass rendering paths and will render as a split screen stereo display in Editor.

  • XR: Added support for Google ARCore augmented reality technology when targeting Android 7.0 and above on supported devices. See our blog post for more information and how to get started https://blogs.unity3d.com/2017/08/29/ar-comes-to-android-with-the-arcore-sdk/

  • XR: Added support for Video Async Reprojection. Video Async Reprojection allows an app to feed video frames directly into the Google VR Async Reprojection system. These frames are composited directly into the scene without going through the main Unity render loop. This provides a fast path to direct rendering of video regardless of the current frame rate Unity is rendering at. When using Async Video Reprojection, texture filtering is skipped providing for a much higher quality output. There is an option to allow for the use of protected memory for users that need to render DRM protected content.

  • XR: Added support for Windows Mixed Reality as a Virtual Reality SDK target. This extends Unity's HoloLens support so that it more generally supports Windows Mixed Reality, both for desktop and HoloLens.

  • XR: EditorVR is now supported without needing a custom build (still requires separate Unity Package download).

  • XR: Introduced native integration for the Vuforia Augmented Reality Platform: additional feature support will follow in later beta updates. Vuforia support can be installed through the Unity Download Assistant and enabled under PlayerSettings/XR. For more information about Vuforia see https://developer.vuforia.com.

  • XR: OpenVR support for Mac 64bit application target that use Metal graphics.

  • XR: The single-pass instanced rendering path is now supported on desktops when the DirectX 11 rendering API is in use. Single-pass instanced rendering is only supported with forward rendering.

  • XR: Windows Mixed Reality headsets are now supported for playing in-editor.

  • GI: Fill the empty areas in the lightmaps with content from the lower mip levels (push-pull dilation). This will fix the cases where dark pixels around geometry edges are visible when rendering with lightmaps. The is due to dark background texels bleeding in when lower MIPs are accessed.
