2021.3.14f1 Release Notes
Improvements
Animation: Further improvements to animation job performance (esp. some forms of IK).
Asset Import: Improved performance of asset imports in large projects.
Editor: Reduced the time taken by AssetDatabase.FindAssets when used with a custom filter, speeding up domain reloads and other editor operations that made the poor choice of calling this function in the first place.
Multiplayer: Added Netcode for GameObjects 1.1.0.
Profiler: Improved performance of rendering the CPU timeline view when viewing large captures.
Scripting: Always inline the Mathf Sign() script API function.
Scripting: Does not discard AssemblyUpdater output when no updates have been applied.
VFX Graph: Reduced the time taken by VFXGraph.CheckCompilationVersion that would previously potentially query all assets on every domain reload.
