Improvements

Improve Outline Editor module performance in Sprite Editor Window.
SpriteRenderer's Sprite Tiling behavior changed when width/height is negative value.
Update BoxCollider2D Sprite Tiling generation to produce cleaner shape

Fixes

(888016) - 2D: Changed warning message "MaterialPropertyBlock is used to modify these values" to info message.
(903668) - 2D: Fixed an issue whereby blue line briefly flickers when moving mouse in Sprite Editor "Edit Outline" mode in OSX Metal.
(871871) - 2D: Added Sprite changes in play mode when using [TIGHT] texture packing and high quality compression.
(897066) - 2D: Fixed an issue whereby Sprite packer caused Out of memory error.
(906017) - AI: Added missing API for minimum region area when building a NavMesh using the runtime API.
(906012) - AI: Fixed an internal limitation of slope maximum of 60 degrees when building a NavMesh using the runtime API.
(902956) - AI: Fixed an issue where carving obstacles could create wrongly shaped holes on NavMesh instances of arbitrary rotation.
(886302) - AI: Fixed missing support for triangulating NavMesh instances with arbitrary rotation.
(905621) - AI: Fixed a regression where a NavMeshAgent with 'autoTraverseOffMeshLink' set to false would not move freely.
(904910) - AI: Fixed a crash happening when Warp() is called many times for a NavMeshAgent.
(none) - Android: Buildpipe - Fixed slow loading with OBB by processing streaming assets in obbassets
(900191) - Android: Dropped obscured touch events to prevent tapjacking.
(867891) - Android: Fixed pause/resume issues when loading with static splash image.
(905581) - Android: Make SoftInput not take fullscreen on landscape orientation.
(908999) - Animation: Fixed animating Material Vector4 properties when in linear color space.
(908960) - Animation: Fixed a crash when loading an asset bundle with an override animator controller.
(865770) - BuildPipeline: Fixed an issue when trying to build asset bundles for target other than what was selected in Build Settings.
(none) - Editor: Fixed 1-dimensional sphere bounds handle had no wireframe representation.
(888678) - Editor: Fixed an issue where the editor would go unresponsive and text would turn red ("Missing built-in guistyle", "Unable to find style").
(879531) - Editor: Fixed an invalid index error when deleting custom resolution in game view.
(none) - Editor: Fixed PrimitiveBoundsHandle.DrawHandle() not resetting Handles.color if alt-clicking to rotate camera.
(889776) - Fix to prevent crashes in the editor due to UI and animation
(908990) - Fixed an issue where plugins would only clear part of the framebuffer when single pass stereo is enabled. This also fixes VRWorks' Single Pass Stereo and Lens matched shading.
(891834) - GI: Avoid a threading issue, where the Progressive Lightmapper cannot find an instances when it was removed too fast.
(726106) - GI: Fixed "Bake paused in play mode" hanging on opening another scene in Play mode.

(893958) - GI: Stop Gauss filter from correcting certain pixel values in invalid regions.
(none) - GI: Synchronized Box Projection option in Reflection Probe component with the global setting from current Tier Settings. When the option in Tier Settings is disabled, the probe UI with show a disabled unchecked checkbox for Box Projection.
(none) - GI: Updated the tooltip for Box Projection option in Reflection Probe component. The setting can be affected by the Reflection Probes Box Projection setting in the Tier Settings.
(751629) - GI: Visible artifact when using point lights in linear color space.
(900888) - GI: When editing Lightprobes they can be duplicated.
(901649) - Graphics: Fixed coherent alpha channel importing for various image format especially formats with more than 32-bits per pixel. Do not generate alpha channel if the alpha value is constant in the source texture.
(879378) - Graphics: Fixed CommandBuffer.Blit always writing to the first depth slice of a 3D render target and ignoring the depthSlice parameter.

(none) - Linux: Unlock cursor when switching from Locked to Confined mode.
(826473) - Mobile: Disabled RunInBackground on Android and iOS.
(847798) - Mono: Corrected an invalid C# compiler error with generic types in compiler generated code (like lambdas and enumerators). The error from the C# compiler often includes this text: "There is no boxing or type parameter conversion from...".

(none) - Multiplayer: Network simulator works again.
(905335) - NavMesh: Fixed the tile carving algorithm so that it's capable of handling colinear degenerate triangles. This was causing the generated NavMesh to have a double line on polygon and was causing a trembling movement for its associated GameObject.

(none) - Shaders: Fixed an incorrect shader translation to GLSL and Metal shader code from unsigned divide operation.
(891914) - Shaders: Prevent assert failures and crashes when attempting to compile tessellation or geometry shaders on platforms where they're not supported.

Known Issues

(916838) - Transform handles are lit and hidden by light source - this will be fixed in one of the patches soon.
(915659) - Crash building player if project has shaders with errors, this one regressed in this patch. This will be fixed in the next patch 5.6.1p3.
