Unity doing Unity things. Move from Core to Packages and Packages back to the core.
The whole idea of selecting a package version that is stable for your game is just gone again.
They'll just bloat it up again with stuff you may or may not use at all.
At some point you'd think they'll make a custom installer where you can tick on / off those core packages. If your project doesn't use the majority of them, kinda like Visual Studio Installer.
To them supporting a single package version per engine version instead of multiple package versions per engine version is a huge relieve to them I guess. It means less testing, more developing.

As for addressables, it's not just a mobile thing. It can be used as your source of mods for PC.
I made a demo once that used visual scripting to interact with the build's code and made a spinning cube mod that got loaded into the build.
Or when you have content that needs to be updated (due to bugs or an event) without recompiling the entire game, it's nice. Though that requires a content server which can be expensive.

HUGE thanks for covering the updates!

The build log looks really nice! I need that one!

@studyacc-em5il 1 month ago

I really like how they are improving the work flow in unity making it more intuitive and faster which was a big complaint for many years

I'm surprised the selection history didn't get a shoutout. That is my favorite new feature!

The reload domain is a game changer for me!

Thx for bringing the updates!

Great version release! If my game wasn't so close to release I'd definitely upgrade right away.

I cant wait for beginners to try using statics as a savefile just like people keep trying to use SOs as one

@RanganaDimuthu 4 weeks ago

that search bar on animation window will be really useful when editing humanoid character animations.

@Notllamalord 1 month ago

really cool stuff

@5PsycheGames5 1 month ago

I think the reason these packages are being bundled with the kernel is that many of them are starting to reference one another, almost like a new engine. As for the animation, it’s worth remembering that they were developing a new animation system—which, as I understand it, was intended to replace the old one.

Im crying, finally serializable dictionariesss

@SaintJames1708 1 month ago

Hey Code Monkey!
I’ve actually tweaked the domain/scene reload settings manually a lot in the past to get that instant play mode.
Just like you mentioned about static fields, it caused massive headaches for me DOTween animations would glitch or fail to loop, and I had to write custom scripts to clear the memory just to fix it.
I also used to get weird syncing bugs where scripts wouldn't update until I forced a refresh with Ctrl+R. It is a lifesaver when using the Hot Reload asset, though, since that needs it turned off anyway!
Curious to see how 6.6 feels out of the box

@miikkalehtonen4366 1 month ago

My guess on the core packages is that they want to only have only one supported (and tested) package per version instead of being able to use any of the previous version for core features.
I believe we can still disable the core packages if the project doesn't use it and it should also trim those on build IIRC.

English is not my laguage , so it's probably me: when I'm watching your video's I put on subtitles and turn down the speed to 75pct!

So they don't want to fix Umbral Occlusion Culling or make a new modern bug free version.....It's just like Maya, which hasn't fixed the bugs in its retopology tool for over a decade… Always move to the easy path and shiny new things....
