Unity for Mac2021.1.2f1

Features:

• VFX Graph: Added support for Texture2D Arrays in Flipbooks

Improvements:

• Editor: Added profiler markers around test setup, teardown, and execution
• Editor: Improving UTF documentation (DSTR-120)
• Editor: Reduced the per-test overhead of running tests in the editor
• Editor: Reduced the time taken to rebuild the test tree and to scan for assets a test created but did not delete
• Editor: Reduced time taken by filtering operations when only a subset of tests is run
• Package Manager: Added support for opt-in caching of Git LFS files when downloading Git packages. Caching is enabled by setting either of the following environment variables: UPM_ENABLE_GIT_LFS_CACHE or UPM_GIT_LFS_CACHE_PATH. The latter allows overriding the default cache location
• Package Manager: Fixed an issue where using a Git URL with a revision and a package path in the wrong order would still clone the repository, introducing unnecessary delays before failing with an error
• Package Manager: Improved logging by adding logs for cache misses and tarball download steps
• Package Manager: Improved the error message when a Git dependency cannot be resolved because the path querystring and revision fragment are in the wrong order
• Package Manager: Increased the amount of information logged to upm.log at various levels
• Package Manager: Optimized Git package download times for repositories using submodules (with Git 2.28.0 or higher installed only)
• Package Manager: Optimized Git package download times, most notably for repositories with a larger history
• Shaders: Reduced shader variant memory usage at runtime and memory consumption while loading shaders

Changes:

• HDRP: Cached the base types of Volume Manager to improve memory and cpu usage
• HDRP: Reduced the maximal number of bounces for both RTGI and RTR
• VFX Graph: Property Binder : Handle Remove Component removing linked hidden scriptable objectfields
• VFX Graph: Property Binder : Prevent multiple VFXPropertyBinder within the same game object

• Linux: Converted "X11 did not respond within x milliseconds" error to a logged warning
• Package Manager: Fixed an issue where either no submodules or the wrong submodules could be cloned when using a Git-based dependency with both a path and a revision
• Package Manager: Fixed an issue where files tracked by Git LFS were not retrieved when using a Git-based dependency with both a path and a revision
• Package Manager: Fixed an issue where the packages-lock.json file was overwritten with the same contents but considered modified by Unity, sometimes resulting in unnecessary operations
• Particles: Added missing particle attributes to the C# Job System integration
• Particles: Fixed crash when using modules with no assigned Particle System
• Physics: Fixed an issue when editing a PolygonCollider2D or EdgeCollider2D where you could delete edges/vertex without limit resulting in an editor tooling exception being thrown
• Physics: Fixed an issue where a negative X or Y local scale on a 2D Collider used by a CompositeCollider2D caused its winding to change resulting in its geometry not handled as a geometric merging operation (union) but instead a subtraction operation
• Physics: Fixed an issue where ContactPoint2D.tangentImpulse and ContactPoint2D.normalImpulse could occasionally return an undefined or NaN value
• Physics: Fixed an issue where particles using the Collision Module could occasionally leak through the vertex connections in an EdgeCollider2D
