Features

• XboxOne: The default update granularity used by XDK's makepkg tool has changed to File granularity rather than Chunk granularity. There is now a setting to control this:
  • Player Settings > Xbox One > Microsoft Xbox One Package Settings > Update Granularity. This property is set to File by default. Chunk is recommended only for games that have already been released using the Chunk granularity, which was the default prior to this build.

Improvements

• Mecanim: Fix direct blendtree editor slow down when there is too much motion.
• GI: Made pig assert message human readable.
• Substance: New Substance features introduced by Substance Designer 5.0 are now supported.
• XboxOne: Lightmap files are now listed in the package manifest in the same chunk as the scene that uses them.
• XboxOne: Updated docs to reflect terminology and tools in latest XDK, and added a section on Packaging.
• Terrain: TerrainData.alphamapTextures is now public.
• Physics: Report detailed error when generating collision meshes, also during asset import. Simplifies troubleshooting creation of non-triangle collision meshes.

Changes

• XboxOne: Unity is now built with the March 2015 XDK. You will need to install the March 2015 XDK onto your development PC and use the same or later recovery
• Android: Added support for real 16bit DisplayBuffer. It can only be enabled in PlayerSettings, Handheld.use32BitDisplayBuffer is deprecated.
• Scripting: GizmoType enum has changed (and is updated by automatic script updater). NotSelected -> NotInSelectionHierarchy. SelectedOrChild -> InSelectionHierarchy. New member NonSelected added.

• (None) - iOS/IL2CPP: Support Type.MakeGenericType for runtime creation of generic types where the generic arguments are reference types.
