- HDRP: Fixed the artifact of non-physical DOF if it's used with TAA and dynamic resolution; The artifacts appear for a frame after the screen resolution changes
- HDRP: Fixed UI overflow and stencil based effects not working in HDRP
- HDRP: Updated HDRP to use the new TextureDesc field format instead of colorFormat and depthBufferBits to avoid a performance regression and subtle issues.
- Kernel: Fixed a memory ordering bug which could have caused a crash or hang in the job system
- Package Manager: Fixed an EPERM error that could occur on Windows during resolve when UPM tries to rename an existing package folder in the PackageCache to replace it with a new package.
- Package Manager: Fixed the issue where 'Experimental Packages in Use' dropdown was still using the old experimental tag logic (UUM-81539)
- Package Manager: Fixed the issue where 'See other versions' button did not show up for packages from Unity Registry
- Package Manager: Fixed the issue where the 'Experimental Package in Use' icon was missing tooltip
- Physics: Fixed an issue with cloth self collision where setting and clearing self collision indices would cause simulation artifacts unless self collision distance was set to 0.0f prior to clearing. Now when clearing self collision indices distance/stiffness no longer play a role in the simulation of the cloth component
- Physics: Fixed an issue with the Physics Debugger where attempting to visualize a character controller would assert and cause the shape's visualization to not be posed correctly.
- Scene/Game View: Fixed an issue where the cursor could flicker when hovering input fields in the scene view
- Scene/Game View: Fixed Orientation overlay styling
- Shadergraph: Addressed an issue where precision mismatch could result in an asset failing to import

- SpeedTree: Fixed a crash in SpeedTreeWindManager with certain prefab assets when play mode is engaged
- SRP Core: Modified RTHandle allocators so they can now use GraphicsFormat to set the depthStencil format (TextureDesc.format). The allocators take a single format for either color or depth stencil to avoid incorrectly creating depth instead of color or vice versa.
- 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.
- Tests: Fixed an issue with AsyncInstantiateObjectChildrenTransformValidationNoPositionRotationParent instability by reducing floating point comparison precision

- 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

- 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

Changed:
- Editor: ObjectField label is now shown with 70% opacity for null values. This applies to both UI Toolkit and IMGUI
- Editor: EditorGUIUtility.ObjectContent will no longer include an icon when the value is null. When the type of object is stated in the label, there is no need for the type icon to be shown. Showing an icon when the value is null can create confusion and when the value is "Missing" it can be perceived as there is a texture there named missing. If you still wish to have an icon you can use AssetPreview.GetMiniTypeThumbnail(type);

- Scripting: Changed: The class HierarchyNodeTypeHandlerBase no longer implements the IDisposable interface, so that Dispose cannot be called manually on instances. There is still the Dispose method with a disposing parameter available to override if needed

Changed:
- Android: Prefer to use android.view.WindowMetrics.getBounds instead of DisplayMetrics.getMetrics/getRealMetrics when device API level is 30 or higher
- Build System: include bee_backend.pdb next to bee_backend.exe on windows installs.

Fixed:
