+Known Issues
- Connect: Need to have owner privilege to enable/disable Ads/Analytics
- Connect: Error when enabling Ads if you are part of more than one organization, if you already have enabled ads for a project in different org
- Connect: COPPA Lock visuals aren't updated on the Age Designation page if you don't switch to Setting page
- WebGL: UI non-functional
Features
- Android: Audio - Enable OpenSL for devices that support FEATURE_AUDIO_LOW_LATENCY
- Physics: Added parameter QueryTriggerInteraction to all physics queries (raycast, spherecast, overlap) to allow any query to override whether or not the query should hit Triggers.
- Physics: Expose CharacterController.skinWidth parameter to scripts
- Physics: Support scaling vehicles
Changes
- IL2CPP: Make engine stripping in iOS/WebGL a separate setting (PlayerSettings.stripEngineCode) from mono stripping levels
Improvements
- Editor: Improved Export Package window (now uses a proper tree view)
- Editor: Selection.selectionChange callback triggered when selection changes
- Graphics: Added a quality setting 'Shadow near plane offset' to allow working around shadow pancaking artifacts
- Graphics: Implemented object naming for D3D11, so textures will pick up the correct name in external graphics debuggers
- iOS: Added onBannerFailedToLoad delegate to iOS.AdBannerView
- WebGL: Resolution set in html file will no longer be overridden by PlayerSettings
- Windows Store Apps: supported orientations are now populated to manifest
Fixes
- 2D: Apply active color space onto texture in sprite editor
- 2D: Clear undos for SpriteEditorWindow when applying or window is closed. Also fix ClearUndo not working for ObjectUndo
- 2D: Ensure SpriteEditorWindow has the correct texture importer reference when texture importer inspector is applying changes
- 2D: Materials become transparent because of improper re-setting of material
- 2D: Replaced assert with warning message to multiple materials in SpriteRenderer
- 2D: Sprite Editor uses the actual image size for slicing operation. Force Sprite Editor preview to use mipmap if user machine does not support the image resolution
- AssetBundle: Fix the crash when a scriptable object is referenced from the scene.
- Connect: Move project and COPPA Lock are disabled when project is locked
- Editor: Avoid division by zero in zero-sized SphereCollider
- Editor: Avoid locking when framing terrain
- Editor: Camera lock keeps working when dragging outside the scene view window
- Editor: Fix MaterialEditor Shader Warning when importing a package
- Editor: Scene view picking works when selection base object isn't under the mouse position
- Editor: Terrain editor hotkeys no longer conflict with text field input
- GI: Fixed crash in CreateSnapshotForReflectionProbe when trying to rebake reflection probes
- Graphics: Added extra protection against depth buffer in editor windows being accidentally disabled
- Graphics: Corrected the viewport used in the editor for image effects when forward rendering + AA
- Graphics: Fixed a crash compressing an already compressed texture in script
- Graphics: Fixed crash calling GetPixels with a 0x0 texture
- Graphics: Fixed error messages with .triangles on empty meshes (coming to 5.1 too)
- Graphics: Fixed Halo errors when they are on DontDestroyOnLoad objects
- Graphics: Fixed Halo texture not being centered, causing half-texel clipping on top/right sides
- Graphics: Fixed spamming error message importing an EXR file as sprite
- Graphics: Fixed swizzling of BGRA32 texture data on D3D11 and Xbox360
- Graphics: Fixed swizzling of BGRA32 texture data on OpenGL, OpenGL core and OpenGL ES
- Graphics: When using COLORMASK and D3D9, the mask was not correctly set for MRT render targets
- Il2CPP: Avoid boxing of value types during null checks in generic code
- IL2CPP: Fix crash when using OnCollisionEnter with no parameters
- IL2CPP: Handle 'void' type parameter.
- IL2CPP: Handle invalid IL generated by UnityScript compiler for delegates.
- IL2CPP: Prevent an intermittent crash on ARM64 when an live object is incorrectly reclaimed by the garbage collector.
- IL2CPP: Throw exceptions when classes are stripped instead of crashing
- iOS: Added Xcode 6.4 compatibility
- iOS: Allow to append builds made with different scripting backend
- iOS: Fixed command line build crash caused by trailing slash
- iOS: Made sure WWW.bytes gets populated with response even in case of non-2xx status
- Metal: Fixed shader translation of matrix+scalar, matrix-scalar, matrix/scalar operations (coming to 5.1 too)
- Metal: Fixed some issues with shader translation of matrices with different precision (coming to 5.1 too)
- Mono: Double traverse object count to avoid stack overflow when freeing huge amounts of objects.
- Mono: Fix issue with Socket.Select never returning sockets ready for read on OSX
- Mono: Fix Unity crash when detecting recursive type definition.
- Mono: Fixed issue with default property values and object initializers
- Mono: Fixed monotonic timer overflow to allow usage of timing functions like those in System.Threading with extended uptime
- MonoDevelop: Fixed Unity crash when inspecting enum value in MonoDevelop debugger.
- OpenGL core: Fixed crash when using -force-glcore on MacOSX where it's not yet supported
- OpenGL core: Fixed Radeon HD 2000 - 4000 support
- OpenGL core: Fixed Sandy Bridge crash, unsupported due to drivers issues, Unity will fallback to Direct3D.
- OpenGL ES: Fixed Fire HD development player crash
- OSX Editor: fix RunOpenPanel() with extension non-empty filter
- Physics: Fix a crash in the HingeJoint when enabling a GameObject containing a HingeJoint where the Connected Body was disabled.
- Physics: Fix an issue where OnTriggerStay would not be called on children in compound colliders.
- Physics: Fix problems where QNaNs leaked out of the physics system when using infinites as limit parameters for the ConfigurableJoint.
- Physics: Fix wheel collider applying the inertia tensor rotation the wrong way, cleaned up gizmo code
- Physics: Fix WheelCollider not being able to ignore collisions with vehicle body colliders that were added to the already initialised vehicle
- Physics: Make sure we update scene query flags for inserted wheels because otherwise we may end up colliding with the car's body
- Physics: Report scene hierarchy path of Collider when setting a transform that contains non-finite numbers.
- Physics: Update docs to mention the limitation on the maximum colliders per cloth instance
- Script Editors: Generate and open solution when External Script Editor is set to Xamarin Studio.
