+5.4.0b7 Release Notes
Known Issues
- After expand/collapse Unity Editor window looks corrupted. If you maximize/minimize/click on windows in Editor they'll return to normal state.
- Fix regression issues when opening scenes in play mode
- Graphics: with the new jobs enabled, reflection probes might render incorrectly in rare cases.
- In deferred rendering, lightmapped objects affected by mixed-mode lights will fallback to forward rendering.
- Samsung TV: Fixed shader compilation crash on NT14U TVs
- Shadows: Directional shadows will present shadow acnee when using a custom projection matrice and a very large frustum (20k+)
- Unity crashes sometimes after deleting asset files from project folder
- VR: Single-Pass-Stereo causes some lighting problems
- [Billboard][LOD] Unity crashes when picking deleted Speedtree Billboard LOD level
- [GL] [Windows] Unity crashes or hangs with no respond on moving and undocking tabs
- [Skinning] Skinning broken on Mac
- [Windows][MT] Unity crashes after mass placing SpeedTrees on terrain
Improvements
- VR: Dynamically switch to headset's audio output / input driver (Oculus SDK 1.0+)
- VR: Mask invisible pixels so GPU time is not wasted (Oculus SDK 1.0+)
Fixes
- Animation: Added AnimationClipPlayable.applyFootIK

- Multiplayer: Disallow sending NetworkConnection object in commands
- Multiplayer: Fixed issue where SyncLists didn't use the configured channel
- Multiplayer: Fixed issue with ClientScene.objects list increasing after every host migration
- Multiplayer: Fixed issue with OnStartAuthority being called twice on player with local authority on host
- Multiplayer: Minor improvement to network manager HUD ('connecting' state and cancel button)
- Multiplayer: SyncList now sends updates only when a value assignment changes the current value
- Particles: Disable size/rotation properly when toggling 3D in the editor
- Particles: Disabling unused UI options
- Particles: Fixed crashes with null curves and gradients
- Particles: Fixed culling when using SetParticles in standalone
- Particles: Fixed debug plane visualization
- Particles: Improve mesh particle error message, when buffers re full

- Particles: Support radius in Trigger Module
The following are changes and fixes to 5.4.0 features and regressions...
Improvements

Fixes
- Animation: Fixed animation event inheriting from ScriptableObject not getting triggered
- Animation: Fixed assert when using Animator.MatchTarget
- Animation: Fixed custom components not appearing in the Add Property menu of the Animation Window.
- Animation: Fixed error message showing : GetLocalizedString is not allowed to be called from a MonoBehaviour constructor

- Core: Fixed edge case in the job system during shutdown
- Core: Multi-second stall in Particle System
- Editor: Fixed being unable to drag and drop components that are not expandable (such as the 'audio listener')
- Editor: Fixed issue that made GameObjects disappear from the Editor if they have an associated editor script that made use of DontDestroyOnLoad
- Editor: Fixed width of the Build Settings Window. This was causing problems when the Standalone option was selected but the players weren't available.

- OpenGL: Fixed mipmap generation for render textures using OpenGLES
- OSX: Fixed an issue where pasting into a text field caused the text to be added twice
- OSX: Fixed SIMD errors in source code builds on OSX
- Particles: Allow both shape & position in scripted emission
- Particles: Fixed error message when scaling
- Particles: Fixed INF error message due to default bounding box
- Particles: Fixed regression with subemitters inheriting velocity
- Physics: Prevent Collider recreation when setting isKinematic; therefore, OnTriggerExit/Enter are not triggered unnecessarily
- Scripting: Fixed registration of Shuriken icalls under Mono AOT.
- UI: Fixed a problem where some fonts would not load correctly on some platforms
- UI: Stopped raycast from traversing up the hierarchy when a canvas with override sorting is encountered.
