• Asset Import: [Experimental] Added experimental API to generate Textures/Sprites from Importer Settings.

• Audio: Added Google's Resonance Audio plug-ins.

• Build Pipeline: Added ability to store and retrieve GameObject references by name through EditorBuildSettings.

• Build Pipeline: Added new API for changing platform icons. It supports platform-specific icon types and multi-layer icons. See documentation on PlayerSettings.SetPlatformIcons for more information.

• Build Pipeline: Added new BuildReport API. Building Players and AssetBundles now returns a BuildReport object that allows you to query information about the build process and outputs.

• Build Pipeline: Android Build & Run now has target device selection in Build Settings. This allows you to deploy to either a specific single device, or to all supported devices simultaneously.

• Cache Server: Added -CacheServerIPAddress command line argument to connect the Editor to specified Cache Server on startup.

• Editor: Added a Clear on play button to the Unity Profiler window.

• Editor: Added a preset class that allows you to save serialized information about a GameObject to a .preset Asset, and apply it later to the same GameObject type.

• Editor: Added Templates for 3D, 2D, 3D with Extras (Preview), Lightweight (Preview), Lightweight VR (Preview), and High Definition (Preview) to streamline the new user experience with Scriptable Render Pipeline features, as well as to define better starting points for graphical, player, and lighting settings.

• Editor: Unity now compiles Assembly Definition File (asmdef) assemblies on startup, before any other scripts (such as Assembly-CSharp.dll), and does not stop compilation on the first compile error. Uniy loads all asmdef assemblies that succesfully compile and have all their references compiled, then compiles the remaining scripts (Assembly-CSharp.dll and friends). This ensures that Unity packages are always built and and loaded, regardless of other compile errors in the Project.

• Editor: When running PlayMode and EditMode tests in batch mode, you can now specify which scripting back-end to use, via a Test Settings file.

• GI: Progressive Lightmapper is now out of preview!

• GI: [Experimental] Added experimental API for baking sky occlusion in Progressive Lightmapper. The sky occlusion value for a given input position defines what fraction of the sky is visible for that point. It takes into account any static GameObjects. The sky occlusion allows you to apply the correct amount of sky lighting to GameObjects that are otherwise hard to lightmap, such as trees and foliage.

• GI: [Experimental] Added new experimental C# interface to pass light information to the GI baking back-ends.

• Graphics: Added dynamic resolution support for Playstation 4.

• Graphics: GPU Instancing now supports GI.

  • Unity can now automatically batch GameObjects affected by Light Probes, Occlusion Probes (in Shadowmask mode) or lightmaps, with Foward and Deferred pipeline.
  • Unity can send Light Probe and Occlusion Probe data to Graphics.DrawMeshInstanced using the LightProbeUsage.CustomProvided mode.

• Scripting: Added a new command line option, overrideMonoSearchPath, for desktop standalone players (OSX, Windows). This specifies an extra folder to search when Mono is loading assemblies. You can use this to re-use Assets but load different scripts.

• Scripting Upgrade: Added support for Portable PDBs when running with the new scripting runtime.

• Scripting Upgrade: Scripting Runtime Upgrade is no longer in Experimental.

• Video: Added audio sample output API for the VideoPlayer, with support for access from C# or C++.

  • Added ODS rendering support for screenspace shadows via separate ODS world space passes and render textures, to avoid incorrect shadows per eye.
  • Added stereo RenderToCubemap API script support: camera.RenderToCubemap with stereo eye parameter.

Backwards Compatibility Breaking Changes

• Particles: Removed Legacy Particle System script bindings.

• Tizen: Removed Tizen mobile support.

Changes

• Android: Input field character now always appears at the end of text when opening keyboard. (966477)

• Android: Newly created projects now default to ARMv7 CPU architecture.

• Android: Removed support for UnityPlayerProxyActivity.

• Android: SDK Platform 26 now required to build for Android.

• Android: Unity now creates a 2048-bit RSA key for signing the APK.

• Android: Updated JDK requirements to JDK 8. This a requirement from the latest Android SDK.

• Animation: Starting play mode while editing an Avatar configuration will no longer change the current scene. (916586)

• Audio: Added error message when calling AudioSource.GetSpectrumData or AudioListener.GetSpectrumData with float arrays that are not a power of 2 or are outside the valid range between 64 and 8192 samples. (827154)

• Editor: Added InspectorWindow.OnPostHeaderGUI callback to allow drawing of custom GUI elements in the inspector window.

• Editor: Compiling 'unsafe' C# code now requires the "Allow 'unsafe' code" option to be enabled in the player settings for predefined assemblies (Assembly-CSharp.dll, etc.) and in the inspector for Assembly Definition Files assemblies. Enabling this option will make Unity pass the /unsafe option to the C# compiler when compiling scripts.

• Editor: Removed MonoDevelop 5.9.6 from macOS and Windows installers and deprecated support for it in Unity. Visual Studio for Mac is installed as the C# code editor on macOS and Visual Studio 2017 Community on Windows.

• Editor: Removed the "Intensity" float field next to HDR texture fields in Material editors. Use the exposure controls in the Color Picker instead.

• Editor: Substituted "intensity" float field in the Static Emissives tab of the Light Explorer for HDR color field; instead use the exposure controls in Color Picker.

• Editor: The plug-in code that creates Textures used in rendering with IMGUI should now avoid specifying them in linear space (i.e. should set the linear parameter to false in the Texture2D constructor). Otherwise, GUI elements drawn with such textures might look washed out when the project is working in Linear space (Player Settings > Color space: Linear). (908904)

• GI: Support for hiding and disabling GI features when making a render pipeline.

• Graphics: Deprecated PlayerSettings.defaultIsFullscreen. Use PlayerSettings.fullscreenMode instead.

• Graphics: GraphicsSettings shaders are no longer loaded on startup.

• Graphics: Metal tessellation: Improved shader importing error reporting for when features are unsupported.

• IL2CPP: Deprecated BuildOptions.IL2CPP, which never actually did anything. (986326)

• iOS: Increased min target iOS version to 8.0.

• iOS: iOS now links with Security framework by default. To remove it, set a pre-processor define DISABLE_WEBREQUEST_CERTIFICATE_CALLBACK and remove "Security" from the list of linked frameworks in Xcode.

• iOS: ScreenOrientation.Unknown is deprecated.

• OSX: Metal is now the default graphics backend for Editor.

• Package Manager: Unity Package Manager project sub-folder was moved from UnityPackageManager to Packages. This is to align the physical path with the logical path of packages. Notes:

  • Projects configured with a NuGet should change their configuration to point to another folder (default repository path for NuGet configuration is \packages). The risk of NuGet and Unity Package Manager sharing the Packages folder is minimal, but we suggest to separate them nonetheless to avoid any issues.
  • When opening a project created with a previous version, a migration flow will copy the content of the UnityPackageManager folder to the Packages folder. It is left to the project maintainer to erase the UnityPackageManager folder and update source control configuration.

• Services: Replaced web-based Collab history window with improved RMGUI version.

• Substance: Built-in support for Substance Designer materials is deprecated in Unity 2017.3, and will be removed in 2018.1. To continue using Substance Designer materials in Unity 2018.1, you will need to install a suitable third-party external importer from the Asset Store.

• Universal Windows Platform: Build & Run now defaults to 64-bit player when running on local machine.

• Web: AssetBundle-related parts of UnityWebRequest have been split into a new module, allowing UnityWebRequest to be used without pulling in AssetBundle module. API change: UnityWebRequest.GetAssetBundle -> UnityWebRequestAssetBundle.GetAssetBundle.

• WebGL: Removed experimental label from WebAssembly linker target.

• Windows: Removed support for Windows XP in Standalone Player builds. Windows Vista is the minimum supported OS now.

• Windows: The Build Player location selection dialog now asks for a folder rather than a file name when building Windows standalone player. The BuildPipeline.BuildPlayer API is not affected by this change. (995320)

• XR: Standalone UWP applications targeting Windows Mixed Reality now cause the OS to notify you if the Mixed Reality components are not installed or a headset is not connected, rather than silently falling back to non-VR desktop mode.

• XR: Updated Google VR:

  • to 1.130 for Android
  • to 1.120 for iOS

• Graphics: Added MeshRenderer.subMeshStartIndex property.

• Graphics: Change to allow you to attach async compute command buffers to Cameras and Lights.

• Graphics: Enabled instancing flexible array size for Vulkan.

• Graphics: Improved shader import handling when using #pragma target. If you are not using #pragma geometry, #pragma hull or #pragma domain statements to specify entrypoint functions, Unity drops these shader features (geometry or tessellation) from the internal shader capabilities requirement, allowing greater compatibility across non-DX11 graphics targets. In practise, this now allows using #pragma target 5.0 with Metal, as long as geometry shaders are not used.

• Graphics: Improved Mesh.CombineMeshes to include only vertices of selected submeshes instead of the entire Mesh. (895464)

• Graphics: In forward rendering, Unity no longer fetches 2x2 white shadowmask textures when lighting a dynamic GameObject with a Mixed light using baked occlusion. (952761)

• Shaders: Added a more granular way of specifying shader compilation requirements, compared to #pragma target.

  • #pragma require XYZ for specific features that the shader requires.
  • SHADER_REQUIRE_XYZ and SHADER_AVAILABLE_XYZ preprocessor defines are passed to shaders, based on which features are requested or are available.

• Shaders: Added Windows support for shader include absolute paths longer than 260 characters.

• Shaders: Compute shaders are now included in the shader cache. For example, tweaking a shader and then reverting the change fetches the shader from the cache instead of recompilation.

• Shaders: Compute shaders now support #pragma exclude_renderers and #pragma only_renderers.

• Shaders: Global shader properties are now visible to compute shaders. A global property value is used if the property is not set locally for the compute shader.

• Shaders: Improved shader compilation speed.

• Shaders: Proper shader include dependency tracking implemented. Whenever a shader include file is modified all the dependent shaders - and nothing else - will get reimported. (646064, 916386, 957024)

• Shaders: Surface Shaders with many multi_compile/shader_feature variants import several times faster now (internally, Unity now multi-threads that process).

• UI: Added the ability to toggle the rounding of advance width. This allows you to get more consistent spacing between characters in a Text Mesh.

• Universal Windows Platform: Added an option to select which configuration (debug/release/master) should be used when doing Build & Run.

• Universal Windows Platform: Improved support for building project into longer paths.

• Video: Added basic video bitrate control in MediaEncoder API.

• Video: Video Decoding via Job System on many platforms (reducing overall thread count and improving performance).

• Editor: Unity now compiles Assembly Definition File (asmdef) assemblies on startup, before any other scripts (such as Assembly-CSharp.dll), and does not stop compilation on the first compile error. Uniy loads all asmdef assemblies that succesfully compile and have all their references compiled, then compiles the remaining scripts (Assembly-CSharp.dll and friends). This ensures that Unity packages are always built and and loaded, regardless of other compile errors in the Project.

• Editor: When running PlayMode and EditMode tests in batch mode, you can now specify which scripting back-end to use, via a Test Settings file.

• GI: Progressive Lightmapper is now out of preview!

• GI: [Experimental] Added experimental API for baking sky occlusion in Progressive Lightmapper. The sky occlusion value for a given input position defines what fraction of the sky is visible for that point. It takes into account any static GameObjects. The sky occlusion allows you to apply the correct amount of sky lighting to GameObjects that are otherwise hard to lightmap, such as trees and foliage.

• GI: [Experimental] Added new experimental C# interface to pass light information to the GI baking back-ends.

• Graphics: Added dynamic resolution support for Playstation 4.

• Graphics: GPU Instancing now supports GI.

  • Unity can now automatically batch GameObjects affected by Light Probes, Occlusion Probes (in Shadowmask mode) or lightmaps, with Foward and Deferred pipeline.
  • Unity can send Light Probe and Occlusion Probe data to Graphics.DrawMeshInstanced using the LightProbeUsage.CustomProvided mode.

  • See documentation here: High Definition Render Pipeline overview
  • Blogpost: The High Definition Render Pipeline: Focused on visual quality

• Multiplayer: You can now set Unity up to send you notifications about defined callbacks when there is something to read or the connection is ready to send information.

• OSX: Added support for IL2CPP scripting backend for Mac Standalone player.

• Package Manager: Added Package Manager User Interface, to allow you to manage a project’s packages and discover new packages.

  • The Package Manager UI is itself a package, at version 1.8.7 at this time (also see ‘Packages’ section in these notes).
  • Reachable from the Editor main menu via Windows -> Package Manager.
  • ‘In Project’ tab shows the packages (and versions) in the current project.

  • Added support for 360-degree stereo cubemap rendering in forward/deferred pipelines, directional/point light shadows, Skybox, MSAA, HDR and post-processing stack.
  • Added ODS rendering support for screenspace shadows via separate ODS world space passes and render textures, to avoid incorrect shadows per eye.
  • Added stereo RenderToCubemap API script support: camera.RenderToCubemap with stereo eye parameter.

Backwards Compatibility Breaking Changes

• Particles: Removed Legacy Particle System script bindings.

• Tizen: Removed Tizen mobile support.

Changes

• Android: Input field character now always appears at the end of text when opening keyboard. (966477)

• Android: Newly created projects now default to ARMv7 CPU architecture.

• Android: Removed support for UnityPlayerProxyActivity.

• Android: SDK Platform 26 now required to build for Android.

• Android: Unity now creates a 2048-bit RSA key for signing the APK.

• Android: Updated JDK requirements to JDK 8. This a requirement from the latest Android SDK.

• Animation: Starting play mode while editing an Avatar configuration will no longer change the current scene. (916586)

• Audio: Added error message when calling AudioSource.GetSpectrumData or AudioListener.GetSpectrumData with float arrays that are not a power of 2 or are outside the valid range between 64 and 8192 samples. (827154)

• Editor: Added InspectorWindow.OnPostHeaderGUI callback to allow drawing of custom GUI elements in the inspector window.

• Editor: Compiling ‘unsafe’ C# code now requires the “Allow ‘unsafe’ code” option to be enabled in the player settings for predefined assemblies (Assembly-CSharp.dll, etc.) and in the inspector for Assembly Definition Files assemblies. Enabling this option will make Unity pass the /unsafe option to the C# compiler when compiling scripts.

• Editor: Removed MonoDevelop 5.9.6 from macOS and Windows installers and deprecated support for it in Unity. Visual Studio for Mac is installed as the C# code editor on macOS and Visual Studio 2017 Community on Windows.

• Editor: Removed the “Intensity” float field next to HDR texture fields in Material editors. Use the exposure controls in the Color Picker instead.

• Editor: Substituted “intensity” float field in the Static Emissives tab of the Light Explorer for HDR color field; instead use the exposure controls in Color Picker.

• Editor: The plug-in code that creates Textures used in rendering with IMGUI should now avoid specifying them in linear space (i.e. should set the linear parameter to false in the Texture2D constructor). Otherwise, GUI elements drawn with such textures might look washed out when the project is working in Linear space (Player Settings > Color space: Linear). (908904)

• GI: Support for hiding and disabling GI features when making a render pipeline.

• Graphics: Deprecated PlayerSettings.defaultIsFullscreen. Use PlayerSettings.fullscreenMode instead.

• Graphics: GraphicsSettings shaders are no longer loaded on startup.

• Graphics: Metal tessellation: Improved shader importing error reporting for when features are unsupported.

• IL2CPP: Deprecated BuildOptions.IL2CPP, which never actually did anything. (986326)

• iOS: Increased min target iOS version to 8.0.

• iOS: iOS now links with Security framework by default. To remove it, set a pre-processor define DISABLE_WEBREQUEST_CERTIFICATE_CALLBACK and remove “Security” from the list of linked frameworks in Xcode.

• iOS: ScreenOrientation.Unknown is deprecated.

• OSX: Metal is now the default graphics backend for Editor.

• Package Manager: Unity Package Manager project sub-folder was moved from UnityPackageManager to Packages. This is to align the physical path with the logical path of packages. Notes:

  • Projects configured with a NuGet should change their configuration to point to another folder (default repository path for NuGet configuration is \packages). The risk of NuGet and Unity Package Manager sharing the Packages folder is minimal, but we suggest to separate them nonetheless to avoid any issues.
  • When opening a project created with a previous version, a migration flow will copy the content of the UnityPackageManager folder to the Packages folder. It is left to the project maintainer to erase the UnityPackageManager folder and update source control configuration.

• Services: Replaced web-based Collab history window with improved RMGUI version.

• Substance: Built-in support for Substance Designer materials is deprecated in Unity 2017.3, and will be removed in 2018.1. To continue using Substance Designer materials in Unity 2018.1, you will need to install a suitable third-party external importer from the Asset Store.

• Universal Windows Platform: Build & Run now defaults to 64-bit player when running on local machine.

• Web: AssetBundle-related parts of UnityWebRequest have been split into a new module, allowing UnityWebRequest to be used without pulling in AssetBundle module. API change: UnityWebRequest.GetAssetBundle -> UnityWebRequestAssetBundle.GetAssetBundle.

• WebGL: Removed experimental label from WebAssembly linker target.

• Windows: Removed support for Windows XP in Standalone Player builds. Windows Vista is the minimum supported OS now.

• Windows: The Build Player location selection dialog now asks for a folder rather than a file name when building Windows standalone player. The BuildPipeline.BuildPlayer API is not affected by this change. (995320)

• XR: Standalone UWP applications targeting Windows Mixed Reality now cause the OS to notify you if the Mixed Reality components are not installed or a headset is not connected, rather than silently falling back to non-VR desktop mode.

• XR: Updated Google VR:

  • to 1.130 for Android
  • to 1.120 for iOS

• Graphics: Improved shader import handling when using #pragma target <version>. If you are not using #pragma geometry, #pragma hull or #pragma domain statements to specify entrypoint functions, Unity drops these shader features (geometry or tessellation) from the internal shader capabilities requirement, allowing greater compatibility across non-DX11 graphics targets. In practise, this now allows using #pragma target 5.0 with Metal, as long as geometry shaders are not used.

• Graphics: Improved Mesh.CombineMeshes to include only vertices of selected submeshes instead of the entire Mesh. (895464)

• Graphics: In forward rendering, Unity no longer fetches 2x2 white shadowmask textures when lighting a dynamic GameObject with a Mixed light using baked occlusion. (952761)

  • #pragma require XYZ for specific features that the shader requires.
  • SHADER_REQUIRE_XYZ and SHADER_AVAILABLE_XYZpreprocessor defines are passed to shaders, based on which features are requested or are available.

• Shaders: Added Windows support for shader include absolute paths longer than 260 characters.

• Shaders: Compute shaders are now included in the shader cache. For example, tweaking a shader and then reverting the change fetches the shader from the cache instead of recompilation.

• Shaders: Compute shaders now support #pragma exclude_renderers and #pragma only_renderers.

• Shaders: Global shader properties are now visible to compute shaders. A global property value is used if the property is not set locally for the compute shader.

• Shaders: Improved shader compilation speed.

• Shaders: Proper shader include dependency tracking implemented. Whenever a shader include file is modified all the dependent shaders - and nothing else - will get reimported. (646064, 916386, 957024)
