When accessing these values inside shaders, they are casted to MSL half (16-bit) for faster arithmetic operations. Any project that uses min16float or half in shaders and accesses this data as 16-float (from CPU) on iOS is incompatible with this change. For these cases, a new #pragma metal_fxc_allow_float16_in_cpu_visible_buffers was added so that HLSL min16float variables are converted to MSL half in all CPU visible buffers (just like before)

- SRP Core: Modified TextureDesc so it can now use GraphicsFormat to set the depthStencil format (TextureDesc.format). The TextureDesc.depthBufferBits and TextureDesc.colorFormat fields are now properties that call GraphicsFormatUtilities functions for backwards compatibility. The descriptor now unambiguously describes a single resource, either color or depth. Therefore, TextureHandle clearly represents a single resource.

- VisionOS: Removed delayed-start code path used in visionOS development and simulator builds. This delay was introduced to fix potential crashes when using the Wait For Managed Debugger build setting, but caused issues with input in visionOS XR builds. Prior to this fix, input in visionOS XR development and simulator builds would only update intermittently, appearing like "lag" or as if running at a very low frame rate.
- WebGL: Fixed a problem in Web platform Build and Run feature when both Native C/C++ multithreading and Autoconnect Profiler were enabled

- Kernel: Fixed a player crash that would occur due to internal data races when loading assets
- Profiler: Fixed "Page range is outside of system region range. Please report a bug!" error for captured memory snapshots and opened in the Memory Profiler packaged, caused by Unity Objects getting created in-between of capturing the Managed Heap and Native Object data. Snapshots before this fix are not fixed by this change but future captures won't have the same issue. This also fixes cases where Unity Objects in a Memory Snapshot might have pointed at invalid data for their Managed Shell, which may have been most notable with MonoBehaviour and ScriptableObject types. This may also have fixed a vanishingly small amount of instances of reported "Leaked Managed Shell" objects where the Native Object part of the object got destroyed just after the managed Heap data was captured. The close timing makes the likelihood of all of these issues very rare and more likely the longer it takes to capture a snapshot

Improved:
- GI: Added the ability to click on renderers in the Lightmap Preview window to select them in the Hierarchy
- UI Toolkit: Improved the navigation event handling logic for the slider
- When the slider detects move events aligned with the slider's direction, it adjusts the slider's value.

- Physics: Related to the entry of UUM-58304, the main issue of the joint frame is fixed and the old behavior when no extended limits are present functions as expected. When extended limits are used in conjunction with a motorized hinge, the hinge joint local body frame no longer gets an offset based on the current transforms of the bodies attached to the joint. Previously this would happen due to the internal PhysX joint being recreated as either a 6-dof or hinge joint depending on a motor/spring being used or not
