5.4.0b8 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. * GPU Instancing: Instancing might get broken under glcore if graphics jobs are enabled. * 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. * On Windows with MSAA and Image Effects, game view can be rendered upside down * Shadows: Directional shadows will present shadow acnee when using a custom projection matrice and a very large frustum (20k+) * VR: Single-Pass-Stereo causes some lighting problems * \[Billboard\]\[LOD\] Unity crashes when picking deleted Speedtree Billboard LOD level * \[IMGUI\]\[OSX\]\[Regression\] Detached tab is not moved slightly with the cursor after opening project with changed layout in 5.4 * \[Regression\]\[5.4\]\[RTP\] RTP Terrain shader rendering is broken after upgrading project to 5.4 ### Improvements * Editor: Add api to toggle preventing cross-scene references on/off. * Editor: Discard changes' in scene context menu: Reloads selected modified scenes * GI: Improved light update performance * Multiplayer: Make matchName and matchSize serializable attributes so they can save on the network manager * Scripting: Added array APIs to Shader and CommandBuffer class. ### Fixes * Animation: Fixed an issue where Rotation values would change on save * Animation: Fixed an issue where Rotation values would stay applied to objects after exiting Animation Mode * Editor: Fixed curves in particle system inspector not showing negative values initially * Editor: Fixed squashed vector fields in material editor * Global Illumination: Fixed multi-scene baking * Global Illumination: In editor, avoid some of automatic GI overhead when GI is turned off * Graphics: Added profiler markers on async texture loading waits * Linux: Fixed flickering/corrupted rendering with OpenGL Core * Linux: Fixed non-native-resolution fullscreen rendering with OpenGL Core * Multiplayer: Clean up MatchInfo UI in the NetworkManager play mode inspector * Multiplayer: Explicitly Dispose() WWW object in MatchMaker callback handler when done with it. * Multiplayer: Fixed bug where connecting to a non https MatchMaker after joining 1 match would fail in all cases * Multiplayer: Fixed issue where an error response from the server could lead to undesirable console output in non error cases when setting the match auth token * Multiplayer: Fixed issue where default matchmaker port was 80 instead of 443 in 1 code path * Multiplayer: Fixed issue with matchSize being incorrectly used from a join match response * Multiplayer: Fixed UI panel on NetworkManager for match max size and name, as well as add in tooltip info for both * Multiplayer: Fixed up MatchMaker URI to be correct with http:// prefix as default * Plugins: Fixed Editor crash, when trying to set plugin settings for deprecated platforms. * Shaders: Fixed case of animated standard shader Emission being wrongly overriden by material inspector * Shadows: Fixed shadow error messages happening in some cases * Shadows: Fixed shadows disappearing for some off-screen shadows casters * Shadows: Prevent setting out-of-range shadow strength The following are changes and fixes to 5.4.0 features and regressions... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ### Improvements * Graphics: GPU Instancing: Instancing now works on OpenGL 4.1 (GLCore device) under Windows, OS X and Linux. ### Fixes * 2D: Fix Error message appears when clicking Slice button in Sprite Editor Window * Android/IL2CPP: Fix Unity IAP on Android with IL2CPP * DX11: Fixed game view sometimes resulting in offset black bars in image effects or GrabPass * Editor: Fixed for shift-space not working for web views * Editor: Fixed GUI.Windows background not being tinted by GUI.colors anymore. * Editor: Fixed miscalculation of rows in layout for Terrain Component Trees * Editor: Fixed opening scenes in play mode from editor ui should not be allowed. * Global Illumination: Fix for linear lighting mode looking different between the player and Editor. * Global Illumination: Fix for LoadLevel in the player causing lightmaps to become brighter when in Linear mode * Global Illumination: Fixed crash regression when baking reflection probes * Global Illumination: Fixed wrong reflection material warning message in Lighting window * Graphics: Fixed GPU Instancing not working with objects affected by SH/Reflection probes. * Graphics: Fixed GPU Instancing not working with odd-negative scaled objects. * IL2CPP: Avoid crash on IL2CPP when searching for attributes * IL2CPP: Avoid double allocation of memory for multi-dimensional arrays * IL2CPP: Correct performance regression in LivenessState calculation. * IL2CPP: Fixed Stfld/Ldfld opcode usage generated by MS C# compiler * IL2CPP: Fixed an occasional crash when capturing managed heap when parts of it are not committed. * IL2CPP: Generate proper C++ code for marshaling wrappers of methods that have System.Guid as a parameter type. * IL2CPP: Properly marshal arrays of four-byte bool values. * IL2CPP: Raise NullReferenceException when Ldvirtftn instruction has a null target * Image Effects: Fixed image effects not working properly if Camera is added at runtime * IMGUI: Added new \[IntRange\] material shader property to correctly display integer value range sliders * IMGUI: Fixed an issue where Gradient Editor: Alpha slider is not visible when Gradient Editor window has minimal width / * iOS/IL2CPP: Prevent a managed exception on 64-bit builds during some array creation operations which has the message "ArgumentException: Destination array was not long enough. Check destIndex and length, and the array's lower bounds". * Mono: Fixed game hanging when calling Socket.Accept() (Windows) * Mono: Fixed socket communication with IPv6 networks * OpenGL: Fixed GameView on OpenGL Legacy * OpenGL: Fixed Skinning broken on Mac * OpenGL: Fixed Windows editor crashing or hanging with no respond on moving and undocking tabs * OpenGL: Various OpenGL and OpenGL performance and correctness fixes * Shaders: Fixed GrabPass sometimes not working correctly * Stripping: Fix use of UnityWebRequest when "Strip Engine Code" player setting is disabled * Stripping: Prevent the Particle System from being stripped if the Particle System Renderer is used and engine code stripping is enabled. * WebGL: Correct the following compiler error which might occur in generated C++ code: "error: non-constant-expression cannot be narrowed from type 'uintptr\_t' (aka 'unsigned int') to 'il2cpp\_array\_size\_t' (aka 'int') in initializer list \[-Wc++11-narrowing\]". * Windows Store: Allow native DLLs to be loaded both with and without the .dll extension. * Windows Store: Fixed a rare crash in ARM linker (fatal error LNK1322: cannot avoid potential ARM hazard (QSD8960 P1 processor bug) in section #) when using IL2CPP scripting backend * XBoxOne/IL2CPP: Fix a problem compiling generated C++ files when there is a space in the path to the project directory.
