We’ve improved the integration of Unity’s Profiler with external profilers. Included in this release and the latest Post-Processing package, all post-processing effects that are viable for VR now work with the Stereo Instancing rendering mode. Post-processing support for Stereo Instancing

With earlier releases, the stereo rendering mode would fall back to multi-pass rendering.

You can now safely use the more performant Stereo Instancing rendering mode without having to worry that the graphics API of a specific device does not support it. When stereo instancing is not supported on the target device, stereo rendering automatically falls back to single-pass (double-wide) rendering. Learn more about our updates to LWRP in the Graphics section. Also with this release and in the latest LWRP verified package, you can now leverage the Shader Graph, as well as LWRP’s performance optimizations, to build VR experiences for all VR platforms that Unity officially supports. Learn more about which release stream is the right solution for you in our blog post.ĪR Foundation support for LWRP is available as a Preview package, letting you use LWRP for AR experiences. The 2018-LTS is currently undergoing tests and is expected to be released in the next couple of weeks following 2019.1.0. Each LTS stream will be supported for a period of two years. It addresses crashes, regressions, and issues that affect the wider community, such as Enterprise Support customer issues, console SDK/XDK issues, or any major changes that would prevent a large number of users from shipping their game. The LTS stream is for users who wish to continue to develop and ship their games/content and stay on a stable version for an extended period. That’s why we call it 2018.4, while this year’s TECH stream begins with 2019.1. It’s simply a continuation of the 2018 TECH stream, with updates and fixes. The LTS release doesn’t have any new features, API changes or improvements. 2019.1 is the start of the new TECH stream and provides access to the latest features. Unity releases comprise a TECH stream and a Long-Term Support stream (LTS).
