Release notes

Features

  • Support for iOS 64-bit builds using il2cpp.

Changes

  • The Flash build target is no longer supported from this release onwards.

Improvements

  • Audio: Added WWW.GetAudioClipCompressed. Allows AudioClips obtained via WWW class to be loaded into memory compressed, similar to "Compressed in Memory" import option.
  • Graphics: Added MaterialPropertyBlock.Set*() methods to overwrite existing values in a MaterialPropertyBlock instead of adding duplicates.
  • iOS: Add basic launch screen support.
  • iOS: Expose “set pause” as ObjC API.
  • Linux: Added more font fallbacks for Latin and CJK.
  • Oculus GearVR: Enabled low latency audio support.
  • Oculus Plugin: Future Oculus Plugin releases will no longer require Direct_To_Rift.exe
  • Oculus: Added VR friendly splash screen for Unity Free.
  • Scene View: DrawGizmo attribute now reports errors when used incorrectly, and has better documentation.
  • Standalone: Screen.dpi implemented for OSX and Windows standalone platforms.
  • UI: Change Text.m_Text to protected and Text.text to virtual. In this way users can have control over the text contents when extending Text.
  • UI: Expose EventSystem.firstSelected to API.
  • WebPlayer UnityObject: It is now possible to identify the webplayer runtime version before loading content. This makes it possible to load different content based on the runtime version already installed.
