Unity 5.4.0 Beta 15

5.4.0b15 Release Notes (Delta since b14)

Known Issues

• Crash in ::RenderGameViewCameras:: after overflowing Width or Height fields of the Game view resolution window
• In deferred rendering, light-mapped objects affected by mixed-mode lights will fallback to forward rendering.

  • General performance is improved, specifically for scenarios where batches are broken due to mesh change or instanced property change.
  • Legacy deferred renderloop is now supported.
  • In forward renderloop when objects are rendered with add passes, the base passes now can be instanced. Note that you need to define UNITY_USE_CONCATENATED_MATRICES for add passes (though add pass itself can't be instanced) to avoid potential z-fighting issues in such a scenario, if you don't use instanced surface shaders.
• Web: Change to use compression when available via the Accept-Encoding header for curl requests made from the Editor.

5.4.0b15 Release Notes (Full)

Features

• Asset Import: Support importing models with more than 100,000 objects
• GI: Light Probe Proxy Volumes
  This component allows using more than one light probe sample for large dynamic objects (think large particle systems or important characters). This will sample probes into a 3D texture and use that in the shader.
  • Requires shader model 4 (DX11+/PS4/XB1/GLCore).
• GI: Occlusion of the strongest mixed mode light is stored per light probe
• Graphics: Added [ImageEffectAllowedInSceneView] attribute for Image Effects. This will copy the Image effect from the main camera onto the Scene View camera. This can be enabled / disabled in the Scene View effects menu.
• Graphics: Basic GPU Instancing Support
  • Use GPU instancing to draw a large amount of identical geometries with very few draw calls.
  • Works with MeshRenderers that use the same material and the same mesh.
  • Only needs a few changes to your shader to enable it for instancing. Supports both custom vertex/fragment shader and surface shader.
  • Set per-instance shader properties from script via MaterialPropertyBlock.
  • Supports Graphics.DrawMesh command.
  • Supports Windows DX11/DX12 with SM 4.0 and up, OpenGL 4.1 and up on Windows/OSX/Linux.
• Graphics: Fast texture copies via Graphics.CopyTexture.
• Graphics: Graphics jobs can now be enabled (see player settings) for a potential performance boost. Currently in experimental status due to unknown project-dependent side effects.
• Graphics: Texture Array support, seeTexture2DArray class.
• IAP: Added support for fetching IAP products incrementally in batches.
  • FetchAdditionalProducts method added to IStoreController
• IAP: Cloud catalog support
  A 'useCloudCatalog' boolean has been added to UnityEngine.Purchasing.ConfigurationBuilder. When set, Unity IAP will fetch your catalog of products for sale from the Unity cloud. Catalog is configured via the Unity Analytics dashboard.
• iOS: Add URL schemes player setting
• Kernel: The transform component has been rewritten using SIMD and a cache friendly data layout, the code is simpler and faster. As a result Transform.Setparent for large hieararchies can also be more expensive since all data for one hiearchy will always be tightly packed together.
• OSX: Editor enabled retina support (text and some icons only)
• Particles: Define particle width and height separately
• Particles: Trigger Module
• Physics: Expose ContactPoint.separation
• Physics: Implement Physics.OverlapCapsule & Physics.OverlapCapsuleNonAlloc
• Physics: Overlap recovery, used to depenetrate CharacterControllers from static objects when an overlap is detected. When activated, the CharacterController module will automatically try to resolve the penetration, and move the CharacterController to a safe place where it does not overlap other objects anymore.
• Physics: Skip running the PhysX simulation step if not required by Rigidbodies or WheelColliders
• Shaders: Uniform array support
  • Uniform arrays can be set by new array APIs on MaterialPropertyBlock.
  • The size of an array is lifted to 1023.
  • The old way of setting array elements by using number-suffixed names is deprecated.
• Substance: Substance: ProceduralMaterials are now supported at runtime on Windows Store/Phone platforms
• VR: Native OpenVR support added
  • Note that native OpenVR support renders with an off-center asymmetric projection matrix. This means that any shaders which relied on fov / aspect may not work correctly.
• VR: Optimized Single-Pass Stereo Rendering available in Player settings
• VR: VR Focus and ShouldQuit Support -Application Focus is now controlled by respective VR SDK when Virtual Reality Support is enabled. -Application will quit if the respective VR SDK tells the app to quit when Virtual Reality Support is enabled
• VR: VR Multi Device Support
  • PlayerSettings: When the Virtual Reality Supported checkbox is checked, a prioritized list is shown allowing devs to choose which VR SDKs their game supports. (Similar to the Graphics API selection dialog)
  • VR SDK list is per build-target.
  • Dependencies (dlls, etc) will be copied to the build for every sdk in the list.
  • At startup, we’ll go down the list and try to initialize each device. If any fail to initialize (headset not connected, etc), we’ll move on to the next. If all fail, we won’t enter VR mode.
  • PlayerSettings: Deprecate PlayerSettings’ stereoscopic 3d checkbox. This goes through the same subsystem as the VR devices, so a non-headmounted stereoscopic driver is one of the possible devices on supporting platforms.
  • VR API: Deprecate VRDeviceType enum and VRSettings.loadedDevice. This is replaced with VRSettings.loadedDeviceName and VRSettings.LoadDeviceByName().
  • VR API: Add the ability to get a list of supported sdks. Readonly: string[] VRSettings.supportedDevices
• Web: GamePerf service integration. You can now track your exceptions from the wild by enabling this in the services window
• Web: WebPlayer support has been removed, and default player is the platform desktop being run on for the editor.
  • Therefore desktop platform installation choices are removed as being part of their respective editors.
• Windows: Added speech recognition APIs under UnityEngine.Windows.Speech. These APIs are supported on all windows platforms as long as they're running on Windows 10: Windows Editor, Windows Standalone and Windows Store
• Windows: Windows Standalone player now can be run in Low Integrity Mode by passing -runWithLowIntegritylevel command line argument
• Windows Store: Add command line argument -dontConnectAcceleratorEvent to disable accelerator event based input. This disables support for some keys in Unity (like F10, Shift), but fixes issue with duplicate characters in some XAML controls.
• Windows Store: Realtime global illumination now works when using Windows 10 SDK
• Windows Store: UnityWebRequest now supported for all SDKs

Backwards Compatibility Breaking Changes

• Android: WebCam no longer works on Gingerbread devices
• Deployment Management: Any errors logged during the build process will now cause the build to fail. This includes errors that previously allowed the build to succeed anyway, such as shader compilation failures.
• DX12: Introduced a new native plugin interface - IUnityGraphicsD3D12v2 . The old interface will not function anymore due to differences in internal graphics job submission.
• Editor: Deprecated UnityEditor.ShaderUtil.ShaderPropertyTexDim; use Texture.dimension.
• GI: Deprecated Light.actuallyLightmapped, use Light.isBaked and Light.bakedIndex instead. Baked Light got unique index, instead of the flag "actuallyLightmapped"
• Graphics: Further deprecated Material(String) constructor - this will now always create a material with the error shader and print an error, in editor and player. It will be completely removed in a future Unity version.
• Playables: refactored API so that Playables are struct instead of classes. Making the API allocation-less in c#.
• Scripting: Added two new script errors in the editor for catching calls to the Unity API during serialization. See "Scripting Serialization" page in the manual for more details.
• Scripting: To facilitate a memory optimization, UnityEngine.Object.GetInstanceID() is no longer thread safe.
• Web: WebRequest interface was promoted from UnityEngine.Experimental.Networking to UnityEngine.Networking. Unity 5.2 and 5.3 projects that use UnityWebRequest will have to be updated.

Changes

• Android: Assets - Disable texture streaming for Android
• Android: Removed native activity implementation. An activity with the same name based on a regular Activity is still in place for backwards compatibility reasons.
• Android: UnityPlayerNativeActivity and UnityPlayerProxyActivity has been deprecated and will print warnings to the logcat if in use.
• Audio: Streamed audio clips are no longer preloaded. This is done to reduce the number of open file handles in scenes referencing a large number of streamed clips. Except for a slight increase in playback latency the behaviour is not affected.
• Audio: Updated FMOD to 4.44.56
• DX12: Disabled client/worker mode as a preparation step for pure threading (-force-gfx-mt now does nothing for DX12).
• DX12: Enabled GPU profiler in single-threaded mode (-force-gfx-direct).
• Editor: Editor will warn opening a project from any version not matching the projects matching last version string saved in information. This means even 5.4.0b1 to 5.4.0b2, or 5.4.0f3 to 5.4.0p1
• Particles: Added particle radius parameter for world collisions.
• Physics: Fix for Character Controller Physics causing capsule to be thrown in the air when exiting another collider
• Samsung TV: Added Ignore BG Alpha Clear checkbox to Resolution section of Samsung TV player settings. This will disable the clearing of the alpha value for the background fill allowing for blending between Unity's render layer and the layer behind.
• Shaders: Internal shader for computing screenspace cascaded shadows was moved into Graphics Settings. If you were overriding it before by just dropping it into the project -- now need the custom one via Graphics Settings.
• Shaders: Removed support for EXT_shadow_samplers on non-iOS OpenGL ES 2.0 platform. Almost no devices outside of iOS have it, so there's no point in having larger shaders for that.
• Terrain: Now terrain objects created in the scene will be properly renamed to avoid using the same name.
• Terrain: When different TerrainData are used for Terrain and TerrainCollider component on one GameObject, a warning message is shown and a button to help fix the situation.
• UI: Switch component menu name for RectMask2D to match class name

Improvements

• Android: Added template for ProGuard obfuscation on exported project

For audio sources that are virtual because they have been culled due to low audibility or priority attached effect components or spatializers are now bypassed too in order to save CPU. The new behaviour is on by default but can be turned off in the audio project settings.
• Audio: Audio clip waveform preview now displays the actual format used for compression when the default format isn’t available on a certain platform.
• Audio: Fixed audio clip waveform preview rendering sync issues after import and improved the way the waveforms are being rendered to be more dynamic and reveal more detail.

• GI: Upgraded to Enlighten 3.03
• GI: Use HDR color picker for ambient color instead of color plus ambient intensity.
• Graphics: Added a -window-mode command line argument to override full-screen behaviour. Options: exclusive, borderless.
• Graphics: Added GL.Flush API.
• Graphics: Added MaterialPropertyBlock.SetBuffer
• Graphics: Added mechanism to tweak some unity shader defines per-platform per-shader-hardware-tier. Currently it is exposed only to scripts: see UnityEditor.Rendering namespace, specifically UnityEditor.Rendering.PlatformShaderSettings for tweakable settings and UnityEditor.Rendering.EditorGraphicsSettings for methods to get/set shader settings. Please note, that if settings are different for some tiers, shader variants for ALL tiers will be compiled, but duplicates will be still stripped from final build.
• Graphics: Added TextureDimension enum, and Texture.dimension property.
• Graphics: Added useLightProbes argument to Graphics.DrawMesh (defaults to true).
• Graphics: Allow setting a slice of 3D/2DArray as a render target (Graphics.SetRenderTarget depthSlice argument).

• Serialization: Serialization depth limit warning now prints the serialization hierarchy that triggered the warning
• Shaders: #pragma target 3.5, 4.5, 4.6 are accepted.
  • 3.5 - minimum version for texture arrays (DX11 SM4.0+, GL3+, GLES3+, Metal)
  • 4.5 - minimum version for compute shaders (DX11 SM5.0+, GL4.3+, GLES3.1+)
  • 4.6 - minimum version for tessellation (DX11 SM5.0+, GL4.1+, GLES3.1AEP+)

• Shaders: Added shader #pragma to allow easy/cheap variants of shaders across different tiers of hardware in the same renderer without needing keywords (e.g. iPhone 4 and iPhone 6, within gles)
• Shaders: Improve shader translation performance when compiling shaders into OpenGL ES 2.0 & Metal
• Shaders: Improved game data build times with many complex shaders, especially when they were already compiled before.
• StackTrace: Deprecated Application.stackTraceLogType, use Application.SetStackTraceLogType/GetStackTraceLogType instead.

The following are changes and fixes to 5.4.0 features and regressions...

Improvements

• Graphics: GPU instancing improvements
  • General performance is improved, specifically for scenarios where batches are broken due to mesh change or instanced property change.
  • Legacy deferred renderloop is now supported.
  • In forward renderloop when objects are rendered with add passes, the base passes now can be instanced. Note that you need to define UNITY_USE_CONCATENATED_MATRICES for add passes (though add pass itself can't be instanced) to avoid potential z-fighting issues in such a scenario, if you don't use instanced surface shaders.
• Web: Change to use compression when available via the Accept-Encoding header for curl requests made from the Editor.
• Web: Change to use compression when available via the Accept-Encoding header for curl requests made from the runtime.

Fixes

• Analytics: Fixed case of analytics events not sending in editor after stopping and then starting play.
• Android: Fixed intermittent crash when loading scenes.
• Animation: Fixed an issue where rotation and scale wouldn't be animated in Legacy animation when other properties were animated.
• Animation: Fixed case of empty animation clip being created when sprites are selected in project folder.
• Animation: Fixed cull-all being too aggressive.
• Animation: Fixed issue where opening "Configure Avatar" window would throw an error.
• AssetBundles: Fixed possible crash when decompressing corrupted lzma bundles.
• Editor: Change to make the Project tab (in New project page) not be in selected status.
• Editor: Fix case of an incorrect window being displayed after pressing Backspace button in New Project page.
• Editor: Fix case of wrong error message being emitted when returning license via command line.
• Editor: Fix to prevent crash when padding ASTC textures when building from command line.
• Editor: Fixed auto license stop updates issue
• Editor: Fixed case of multi-selection picking passing through game objects.
• Editor: Fixed case of selection base being re-selected when picking child game objects.
• Editor: Fixed issue whereby the editor would request to re-login when network is not stable.
• Editor: Removed SelectionBase from LOD Group.
• Global Illumination: DynamicGI.indirectScale is now clamped.
• Graphics: Fixed internal profiler for static batching on Android, iPhone and Metro
• IL2CPP: Change to marshal an array of blittable structs passed by value, by simply passing a pointer to the array into the native code.
• IL2CPP: Fix to properly handle type casts and is checks for value type arrays when they are casted to generic collection interfaces.
• iOS: Apple Pencil pressure will now be exposed the same way that 3D Touch pressure already is.
• iOS: Fix to ensure that AdSupport is included in the build, as it is present in frequent frameworks.
• iOS: Fix to ensure that our symbols are not overridden by user libraries.
• iOS: Fix to prevent non-prefixed freetype2 symbols from being exported.
• iOS: Fixed TouchInputModule and StandaloneInputModule co-operation.
• iOS: Switching between different input fields will no longer leave input accessory fields on screen.
• Linux: Fixed webcam issue when user repeatedly stops/starts/pauses.
• OpenGL: Fixed invalid shader code generation when using gl_PrimitiveID or bitFieldInsert().
• Physics: Fix to ensure that changing a Collider2D property via the inspector doesn't reset the OnCollision or OnTrigger state back to 'Enter'.
• Profiling: Change to disallow GPU profiling when graphics jobs are enabled.
• Shaders: Change to make it possible to use texture arrays (UNITY_DECLARE_TEX2DARRAY etc.) in surface shaders without jumping through hoops.
• Shaders: Upgrading a shader with a dx11 [annotation] at the start of the file no longer results in a crash.
• Windows Store: Fixed issue in the stack-traces on IL2CPP scripting backend.
• Windows Store: Fixed .NET native compiler crash when using managed plugin that already has an assembly initializer defined. One of such assemblies was "Rewired_Core.dll".
• Windows Store: Fixed a crash when deserializing a struct with a list or an array inside from an empty json string.
• Windows Store: Fixed issue that would cause failure to build player when there are plugins in the project that are marked "read-only".
• Windows Store: When building scripts using Microsoft C# compiler on the il2cpp scripting backend, we now pass identical references as when using Mono C# compiler. This fixes issues that previously resulted in "SupportClass is already defined in another assembly" compiler errors.
