Release notes

Features

  • Support for Intel RealSense plugin in Unity Free.

Improvements

  • Android: Parsing device specific XML font configurations to determine system/fallback fonts.

Note that under Unity 4.6, it is not possible to report the actual force the joint was subject to when it broke; OnJointBreak will be passed the joint's configured maximum force.

  • UI: Fixed overriding/inheriting of pixel perfect status in child canvases.
  • Video: Fixed Theora movie playback skipping frames at beginning and general sync improvement.
  • Webplayer: Fixed Windows webplayer crash when requested window area was 0.
  • Webplayer: Pre-initialized OSX screen manager so that orthographic camera transforms could be initialized.

  • Windows Store Apps: Fixed VS solution generation with paths containing unicode characters.
  • Windows Store Apps: Increased timeout when checking assembly compatibility.
  • Windows Store Apps: Use exception log type for exceptions now.
  • Windows Store Apps/Windows 8.1: When creating D3D backbuffer, Unity will take width/height from SwapChainPanel component instead of CoreWindow, SwapChainPanel's offset from CoreWindow will also be taken into account.
  • Windows Store Apps/Windows Phone 8: Fixed a memory leak, which was occurring in various places. For e.g., in physics collision callbacks such as OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision).
