When accessing these values inside shaders, they are casted to MSL half (16-bit) for faster arithmetic operations. Any project that uses min16float or half in shaders and accesses this data as 16-float (from CPU) on iOS is incompatible with this change. For these cases, a new #pragma metal_fxc_allow_float16_in_cpu_visible_buffers was added so that HLSL min16float variables are converted to MSL half in all CPU visible buffers (just like before).

Graphics: Changed: Updated contextual menu drawer API with PropertyDrawer information.

New classes and structs to support new functionality: several new enumerables, such as HierarchyFlattenedNodeChildren, HierarchyNodeChildren and HierarchyViewNodesEnumerable.
A new enum flags HierarchyNodeFlags used by the HierarchyViewModel.
A new struct HierarchyNodeMapUnmanaged to store unmanaged data per node that is O(1) lookup time, implemented as a sparse array.

Scripting: Changed: Several methods have had their parameter taking a Span changed to a ReadOnlySpan, to indicate that the content of the span will not be modified and only used as input.
Hierarchy.RegisterNodeTypeHandler now returns the handler.
The Hierarchy.SortChildren method got a new parameter, to enable sorting recursively.

Scripting: Changed: The HierarchyViewModel methods used to query flags were ambiguous because it did not specify they meant "all flags" versus "any flags". These methods are now deprecated, and new methods which specify if it is "all flags" versus "any flags" were added. (UUM-58061)

Android: Unity will no longer need to force debugging symbols if Unity Cloud Diagnostics (UCD) is enabled. Users can manually choose the appropriate debug symbol level. Choosing the level affects how stack traces are resolved by UCD. For example, public symbols are enough to properly resolve function names, while debugging symbols provide filenames and line numbers. Debugging symbols, due to their size can increase build time and build size, which might be a limitation for some users.

Any project that uses min16float or half in shaders and accesses this data as 16-float (from CPU) on iOS is incompatible with this change. For these cases, a new #pragma metal_fxc_allow_float16_in_cpu_visible_buffers was added so that HLSL min16float variables are converted to MSL half in all CPU visible buffers (just like before).

Android: Unity will no longer need to force debugging symbols if Unity Cloud Diagnostics (UCD) is enabled. Users can manually choose the appropriate debug symbol level. Choosing the level affects how stack traces are resolved by UCD. For example, public symbols are enough to properly resolve function names, while debugging symbols provide filenames and line numbers. Debugging symbols, due to their size can increase build time and build size, which might be a limitation for some users.
