+Known Issues in 2018.4.20f1
Animation: Animator.Update CPU time spikes when multiple animations are playing (1184690)
MacOS: [Lighting]Errors in console on changing editor visualization mode to realtime GI if there is a particle system in scene. (1106901)
Package Manager: Immutable packages altered by the API Updater are reverted to their original state when packages are resolved, which can lead to slower import performance in that context.
Profiling: Editor crashes when loading profiler file with memcpy stacktrace (1131782)
Profiling: Performance decrease in EditorOverhead using Deep Profile (1051094)
macOS: If the Android Tools are not installed through the Hub, macOS 10.15 (Catalina) default security settings will prevent the Android NDK binaries being executed. These settings have to be changed or a signed Android NDK (r16b) will be needed to build Android. More information here: https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/older\_releases.
