Features

  • Editor: Added a new option "Force GC on Scene Load" to the Editor Scene Handling section of the Project Settings which when disabled will prevent a forced GC and unused asset unloading every time a scene is loaded in the editor.

  • Version Control: Added a cset by cset diff panel in the branches view.
  • Version Control: Added a properties panel for the selected changeset/shelveset.
  • Version Control: Added branch name\(s\) to the branch deletion dialog.
  • Version Control: Added empty state in the history view.
  • Version Control: Added specific empty states for Pending/Incoming Changes with filters.
