2021.1.15f1 Release Notes
API Changes
Physics: Added: Added a property for retrieving ArticulationBody components during a collision event. Articulation bodies can be retrieved by Collision.articulationBody
Physics: Added: Added a property for retrieving either ArticulationBody or Rigidbody components to collision events under Collision.body.
Changes
Android: Allow Android Player to use Vulkan on GPUs that are currently unknown to Unity on Android 11 or newer.
Package: Updated Code Coverage package to v1.0.1. This version includes improvements and fixes.
Fixes
Asset Pipeline: Fixed problem with old script type dependencies. In some cases they could result in (incorrect) artifact match. (1340159)
Audio: Fixed OnAudioFilterRead not working as expected with respect to the component enable checkbox. (1338710)
Audio: One of two looping sounds sometimes disappears when removing High Pass Filter Component. (1323353)
Editor: Fixed async loading of SettingsWindow (this solves the current error being reported during layout loading. (1321185)
Editor: Fixed exception is thrown when right clicking on an object field without a valid serialized property. (1334268)
Graphics: D3D12 player will not crash/freeze when switching between full screen modes. (1318640)
Graphics: Fixed inconsistency in anisotropic level setting across temporary RenderTextures. (1319319)
IL2CPP: Prevent an crash in the runtime when a managed thread object that has been destroyed is used from a finalizer. (1341024)
iOS: Fixed crash when using several Application.RequestUserAuthorization in coroutine. (1323715)
iOS: Fixed input being swallowed input on native UITextField when using UaaL and Bluetooth keyboards. (1332925)
Networking: Fixed error in console when certificate handler is used. (1337750)
Networking: Updated UploadHandlerRaw to accept null, empty array or empty NativeArray payload. (1324331)
Particles: Fixed not correctly supportint 16-bit vertex attributes in CPU mesh particle rendering. (1340944)
Physics: Corrected contact event behavior for the ArticulationBody component so that it matches Rigidbody component behavior. (1339908)
Scripting: Fixed .Net Ping.Send() throwing NotSupportedException. (1329962)
Scripting: Fixed editor crash when a script has a never ending recursion (1339503)
UI: Backout an optimization of caching the change count where the layout is changed during a layout call. (1324089)
Video: FIxed video clip with unsupported audio track not usable. (1327470)
XR: Fixed an issue where custom XR packages would not get registered when running the Unity Editor using the -batchmode argument. (1334517)
