Burst: An additional warning about delegates being used by BurstCompiler.CompileFunctionPointer that are not decorated as expected. In most cases, Burst will automatically add the C-declaration attribute in IL Post Processing, but if the usage of CompileFunctionPointer is abstracted away behind an open generic implementation, then Burst will not be able to automatically correct the delegate declaration, and thus this warning will fire.

Burst: Apple silicon support

Burst: Assemblies are now allowed to have an [assembly: BurstCompile()] attribute to let users specify compile options that should apply assembly wide (for instance [assembly: BurstCompile(OptimizeFor = OptimizeFor.FastCompilation)]).

Burst: Automatically add [UnmanagedFunctionPointer(CallingConvention.Cdecl)] to any delegates that are used for BurstCompiler.CompileFunctionPointer<>() or error if the delegate has the attribute and it is not Cdecl.

Profiler: The connection drop down has been revamped into a tree view that groups player connections int0 three main categories. Local, any player that is running local to the machine, this includes devices connected via cable. Remote any player that is running anywhere else on the network that is reachable. Direct connection, this is for connecting directly via IP address or any player that has automatically connected. There options are further searchable using the new search bar.
Any connections to players which exist from before this feature will still appear though they will appear under the category of "Connection Without Id".
Further to this there no exists an option that can be used to supply a custom connection name for the profiler which will make it easier for the user to find their desired connection. This is set through the Preferences->Anaylsis option or via the command line "-connection-id" when launching a player from the command line.

Global keyword space contains global keywords. Global keywords are converted to local keyword space of a shader or compute shader prior to rendering. When a shader or a compute shader declares a keyword that has the same name as a global keyword, turning this global keyword on or off will affect variant selection.

Terrain: Introduced the new Instancing mode for Terrain details: This mode renders the detail objects with instanced draws using the material specified on the prototype prefab.

Terrain: Terrain Tools package 4.0.0-pre.2 added to pre-release set.

UI: Added settings for enabling/disabling extended Dynamic Hints.

Android: Allow low-level configuration of Unity threads (priority, affinity)

Android: Big part of Android Build Pipeline is now incremental, the sequential builds with zero changes are much faster now. That also means builds are no longer created from scratch, but instead we update the files which dependencies have changed. A special care needs to be taken when IPostGenerateGradleAndroidProject callback is used, since it might be operating on files which were modified by IPostGenerateGradleAndroidProject from previous build.

Android: Bump Android Logcat package to 1.2.3

Android: Changed the device scanning operation of the Android Extension to be async when receiving an USB device changed event. (1349380)

Android: If a hardware keyboard is available, we now use it within our Unity UI systems, instead of always bringing up a virtual, on-screen keyboard.

Android: Unity gradle projects will have a new entry in gradle.properties, unityTemplateVersion. This property will be bumped whenever Unity gradle template files changes. That way if you build on top of the old folder and unityTemplateVersion is different, Unity will throw an error, saying that you need to update your gradle files or build to an empty folder.

Android: When generating manifest files, there are new files in Library\Bee\artifacts\Android\Manifest, LibraryManifestDiag.txt, LauncherManifestDiag.txt. They'll contain information about why a specific permission is added to manifest.

Audio: Added voice priority display in audio pane of profiler.

Audio: Added VU metering information from audio mixer groups in audio pane of profiler to make it easy to compare it against volume and audibility levels.

Audio: AudioMixer did not perform equal power panning for group attenuations when transitioning between snapshots. A new transition type "Attenuation" has been added. (1322673)

Audio: Improved the way audio mixers are displayed inside the audio profiler pane when the "Groups" and "Channels and Groups" view modes are enabled.
Previously the column-based sorting from the "Channels" view mode was applied to the other view modes too which resulted in inconsistent ordering of channels and groups below mixers and even mixers changing order dynamically, making the profiler hard to read.
Additionally the names of the mixers is now shown in the profiler where it currently only showed the ambiguous "Master" groups of the mixers below the "Audio Listener" group.
Finally the triangle shape after the titles of the column headers in the Detailed and Clip views was changed to an arrow that more clearly indicates the sorting order, and the arrow is now placed before the title instead of after it to avoid cutting it off when the columns are manually resized to fit the window.

Audio: Now displays target mixer groups in audio profiler.

Bug Reporter: Modified the Crash Handler window so that it now contains a stack trace, a button to open the crash log folder, and a button to restart the editor.

Burst: DOTS Runtime shares the logging code path with the general case.

Burst: Exception strings no longer contain the entry-point name of the job/function-pointer that caused the throw.

Burst: Exception strings no longer contain the entry-point name of the job/function-pointer that caused the throw. This change was required because the Burst compiler has to produce deterministic results from any given compile, which is fundamentally opposed to per-entry-point function derivations.

Burst: Improved iteration speed by reducing the time it takes for Burst to check if any Burst-compilable code has changed.

Burst: In order to prevent conflicts with the main Unity process, Burst is now inactive in secondary Unity processes, including the asset import worker and out-of-process profiler. This means that in those secondary processes, code that would normally be Burst-compiled will now run under Mono. In a future release of Burst, we hope to lift this restriction and allow Burst-compiled code to run in secondary Unity processes.

URP: The behavior of setting a camera's Background Type to "Dont Care" has changed on mobile. Previously, "Dont Care" would behave identically to "Solid Color" on mobile. Now, "Dont Care" corresponds to the render target being filled with arbitrary data at the beginning of the frame, which may be faster in some situations. Note that there are no guarantees for the exact content of the render target, so projects should use "Dont care" only if they are guaranteed to render to, or otherwise write every pixel every frame.

URP: When MSAA is enabled and a depth texture is required, the opaque pass depth will be copied instead of scheduling a depth prepass.

Android: Allow low-level configuration of Unity threads (priority, affinity)

Android: Big part of Android Build Pipeline is now incremental, the sequential builds with zero changes are much faster now. That also means builds are no longer created from scratch, but instead we update the files which dependencies have changed. A special care needs to be taken when IPostGenerateGradleAndroidProject callback is used, since it might be operating on files which were modified by IPostGenerateGradleAndroidProject from previous build.

Android: Bump Android Logcat package to 1.2.3

Android: Changed the device scanning operation of the Android Extension to be async when receiving an USB device changed event. (1349380)

Android: If a hardware keyboard is available, we now use it within our Unity UI systems, instead of always bringing up a virtual, on-screen keyboard.

Android: Unity gradle projects will have a new entry in gradle.properties, unityTemplateVersion. This property will be bumped whenever Unity gradle template files changes. That way if you build on top of the old folder and unityTemplateVersion is different, Unity will throw an error, saying that you need to update your gradle files or build to an empty folder.

Android: When generating manifest files, there are new files in Library\Bee\artifacts\Android\Manifest, LibraryManifestDiag.txt, LauncherManifestDiag.txt. They'll contain information about why a specific permission is added to manifest.

Audio: Added voice priority display in audio pane of profiler.

Audio: Added VU metering information from audio mixer groups in audio pane of profiler to make it easy to compare it against volume and audibility levels.

Audio: AudioMixer did not perform equal power panning for group attenuations when transitioning between snapshots. A new transition type "Attenuation" has been added. (1322673)

Audio: Improved the way audio mixers are displayed inside the audio profiler pane when the "Groups" and "Channels and Groups" view modes are enabled.
Previously the column-based sorting from the "Channels" view mode was applied to the other view modes too which resulted in inconsistent ordering of channels and groups below mixers and even mixers changing order dynamically, making the profiler hard to read.
Additionally the names of the mixers is now shown in the profiler where it currently only showed the ambiguous "Master" groups of the mixers below the "Audio Listener" group.
Finally the triangle shape after the titles of the column headers in the Detailed and Clip views was changed to an arrow that more clearly indicates the sorting order, and the arrow is now placed before the title instead of after it to avoid cutting it off when the columns are manually resized to fit the window.

Audio: Now displays target mixer groups in audio profiler.

Bug Reporter: Modified the Crash Handler window so that it now contains a stack trace, a button to open the crash log folder, and a button to restart the editor.

Build Pipeline: "Scripts Only Build" is now automatic for platforms using the new incremental build pipeline. The checkbox is removed for such platforms, and Unity will automatically detect if it can do a Scripts Only Build based on which changes there are in the project.

Build Pipeline: Improved the performance of the build pipeline by allowing concurrent shader cache read access.

Build Pipeline: Linux now uses the incremental player build pipeline.

URP: The behavior of setting a camera's Background Type to "Dont Care" has changed on mobile. Previously, "Dont Care" would behave identically to "Solid Color" on mobile. Now, "Dont Care" corresponds to the render target being filled with arbitrary data at the beginning of the frame, which may be faster in some situations. Note that there are no guarantees for the exact content of the render target, so projects should use "Dont care" only if they are guaranteed to render to, or otherwise write every pixel every frame.

URP: When MSAA is enabled and a depth texture is required, the opaque pass depth will be copied instead of scheduling a depth prepass.

Global keyword space contains global keywords. Global keywords are converted to local keyword space of a shader or compute shader prior to rendering. When a shader or a compute shader declares a keyword that has the same name as a global keyword, turning this global keyword on or off will affect variant selection.

Terrain: Introduced the new Instancing mode for Terrain details: This mode renders the detail objects with instanced draws using the material specified on the prototype prefab.

Terrain: Terrain Tools package 4.0.0-pre.2 added to pre-release set.

If un-checked, this option disables Chrome OS's default behavior of converting mouse and touchpad events into touchscreen events. This allows an app to implement more complete support for these input devices. Also, fixed a bug with Android/Chrome OS touchpad scrolling.

Android: Added boot-config/command-line switch "platform-android-cpucapacity-threshold" that can be used to specify which CPU cores are treated as big cores. The cpu capacity is a value in the range between 0 and 1024. A capacity value of 870 yields the same behavior as before the fix for case 1349057.

Android: Allow low-level configuration of Unity threads (priority, affinity)

Android: Big part of Android Build Pipeline is now incremental, the sequential builds with zero changes are much faster now. That also means builds are no longer created from scratch, but instead we update the files which dependencies have changed. A special care needs to be taken when IPostGenerateGradleAndroidProject callback is used, since it might be operating on files which were modified by IPostGenerateGradleAndroidProject from previous build.

Android: Bump Android Logcat package to 1.2.3

Android: Changed the device scanning operation of the Android Extension to be async when receiving an USB device changed event. (1349380)

Android: If a hardware keyboard is available, we now use it within our Unity UI systems, instead of always bringing up a virtual, on-screen keyboard.

Android: Unity gradle projects will have a new entry in gradle.properties, unityTemplateVersion. This property will be bumped whenever Unity gradle template files changes. That way if you build on top of the old folder and unityTemplateVersion is different, Unity will throw an error, saying that you need to update your gradle files or build to an empty folder.

Android: When generating manifest files, there are new files in Library\Bee\artifacts\Android\Manifest, LibraryManifestDiag.txt, LauncherManifestDiag.txt. They'll contain information about why a specific permission is added to manifest.

Audio: Added voice priority display in audio pane of profiler.

Audio: Added VU metering information from audio mixer groups in audio pane of profiler to make it easy to compare it against volume and audibility levels.

Audio: AudioMixer did not perform equal power panning for group attenuations when transitioning between snapshots. A new transition type "Attenuation" has been added. (1322673)

Audio: Improved the way audio mixers are displayed inside the audio profiler pane when the "Groups" and "Channels and Groups" view modes are enabled.
Previously the column-based sorting from the "Channels" view mode was applied to the other view modes too which resulted in inconsistent ordering of channels and groups below mixers and even mixers changing order dynamically, making the profiler hard to read.
Additionally the names of the mixers is now shown in the profiler where it currently only showed the ambiguous "Master" groups of the mixers below the "Audio Listener" group.
Finally the triangle shape after the titles of the column headers in the Detailed and Clip views was changed to an arrow that more clearly indicates the sorting order, and the arrow is now placed before the title instead of after it to avoid cutting it off when the columns are manually resized to fit the window.

Audio: Now displays target mixer groups in audio profiler.

Bug Reporter: Modified the Crash Handler window so that it now contains a stack trace, a button to open the crash log folder, and a button to restart the editor.

Build Pipeline: "Scripts Only Build" is now automatic for platforms using the new incremental build pipeline. The checkbox is removed for such platforms, and Unity will automatically detect if it can do a Scripts Only Build based on which changes there are in the project.

Build Pipeline: Improved the performance of the build pipeline by allowing concurrent shader cache read access.

Build Pipeline: Linux now uses the incremental player build pipeline.

Build Pipeline: MacOS Standalone player builds will now use a new incremental build pipeline, which allows faster subsequent player builds by only rebuilding parts which have changed.

Build Pipeline: Make linking faster for big projects

Build Pipeline: WebGL now uses the incremental player build pipeline.

Build Pipeline: Will not ask to save untitled scene if it is not included in the build.

Build Pipeline: Windows Standalone player builds will now use a new incremental build pipeline, which allows faster subsequent player builds by only rebuilding parts which have changed.

Burst: Improved codegen

Core: Dynamic Heap Allocator now holds on to one empty block to increase performance. (1272168)

Core: Reduced number of memory alllocations and improved tracking of core allocations.

Documentation: Added a pop-up to Obsolete API labels in the Script Reference, explaining why something is obsolete, and pointing to the new API where possible.

Documentation: Improved documentation for GeometryUtility.TestPlanesAABB. Explain false positives.

Graphics: Added: New draw API as a set of Graphics.RenderX() functions. All the old draw API Graphics.DrawX() functions work as before but many of them can be easily converted to the new API to gain from the added functionality. Some added functionality of the new API:

Support custom per-instance data for RenderMeshInstanced(), per-instance motion vector and rendering layer mask definitions, and easy light probe setup

Support for multi-command indirect draws & future proofing for hardware implementation on supported platforms

Custom world bounds for all mesh rendering (e.g. to support mesh deformation in vertex shaders).

Graphics: Added: Rendering.SupportedRenderingFeatures.reflectionProbesBlendDistance to provide SRPs with the ability to enable the blend distance fields in the ReflectionProbe inspector.

Graphics: Added: RenderTexture.depthStencilFormat and RenderTextureDescriptor.depthStencilFormat properties. You can now set the exact Depth/Stencil buffer format on a RenderTexture using the depthStencilFormat property. Before, each platform backend would decide what format is used without any control or visibility. The existing APIs that take a number of depth bits will still select the same format as before on each backend. When upgrading RenderTexture assets from an older project, all Depth/Stencil buffers that had more than 16bits will be converted to D24_UNorm_S8_UInt. On high end platforms, this could result in 24bits for depth instead of 32bits resulting in visual artifacts. You need to change the Depth/Stencil format on the RenderTexture asset if that is the case.

Animation: Updated Animation Rigging package to version 1.1.0.

Animation: Updated Animation Rigging package to version 1.1.1

Asset Import: Unity will not attempt to relaunch Maya or 3DsMax upon first timeout. (1281786)

Asset Pipeline: AssetPostprocessors calls are now ordered by their GetPostprocessOrder and then by their FullName (namespace.classname).
It was not ordered by FullName before so some call orders between AssetPostprocessors with the same GetPostprocessOrder value may have changed.

Build Pipeline: Unity will no longer write unsaved changes from open scenes into player builds. Instead, it will ask to save changes to disk.

Burst: Armv8.2 Neon intrinsics are now fully supported.

Burst: Changed Burst minimum editor version to 2019.4.

Burst: Changed how exceptions throw types and messages are stored in our Burst binaries to reduce binary size.

Burst: Changed how exceptions throw types and messages are stored in our Burst binaries to reduce binary size.

Burst: Changed how SLEEF global variables for trig functions are pulled into Burst to reduce duplications.

Burst: Changed how we resolve function references in the compiler to improve resolving an existing function reference by 3x.

Burst: Changed our link step to not use response files if the command line was smaller enough, saving the cost of the round-trip to the disk.

Burst: Changes to inliner heuristics to improve build time and reduce executable size.

Burst: Constant array data is now named after the static field it belongs to in assembly.

Burst: Disabled threading within the lld linker instances we use for in-editor and desktop cross compilation, because we're already threading seperate process instances of lld and it results in lot of OS context switching.

Burst: DOTS Runtime shares the logging code path with the general case

Burst: DOTS Runtime shares the logging code path with the general case.

Burst: Exception strings no longer contain the entry-point name of the job/function-pointer that caused the throw. This change was required because the Burst compiler has to produce deterministic results from any given compile, which is fundamentally opposed to per-entry-point function derivations.

Burst: Exception strings no longer contain the entry-point name of the job/function-pointer that caused the throw. This change was required because the Burst compiler has to produce deterministic results from any given compile, which is fundamentally opposed to per-entry-point function derivations.

Burst: Improved how we handle generic resolution in Cecil to cache the strictly resolved generic types and save a bunch of time in the compiler.

Burst: Improved iteration speed by reducing the time it takes for Burst to check if any Burst-compilable code has changed.

Burst: In order to prevent conflicts with the main Unity process, Burst is now inactive in secondary Unity processes, including the asset import worker and out-of-process profiler. This means that in those secondary processes, code that would normally be Burst-compiled will now run under Mono.

Burst: Use rpmalloc as our native allocator on Windows to speed up concurrently executing LLVM work.

Burst: When Burst has previously compiled a method, and neither the assembly containing that method nor any of that assembly's dependencies have changed, it was possible after a domain reload for the Mono version of the method to be used for a short time before being replaced by the Burst version. This has now been improved such that the Burst version will be used immediately.

Now, "Dont Care" corresponds to the render target being filled with arbitrary data at the beginning of the frame, which may be faster in some situations. Note that there are no guarantees for the exact content of the render target, so projects should use "Dont care" only if they are guaranteed to render to, or otherwise write every pixel every frame.

URP: When MSAA is enabled and a depth texture is required, the opaque pass depth will be copied instead of scheduling a depth prepass.

Burst: An additional warning about delegates being used by BurstCompiler.CompileFunctionPointer that are not decorated as expected. In most cases, Burst will automatically add the C-declaration attribute in IL Post Processing, but if the usage of CompileFunctionPointer is abstracted away behind an open generic implementation, then Burst will not be able to automatically correct the delegate declaration, and thus this warning will fire.

Burst: Apple silicon support.

Burst: Assemblies are now allowed to have an [assembly: BurstCompile()] attribute to let users specify compile options that should apply assembly wide (for instance [assembly: BurstCompile(OptimizeFor = OptimizeFor.FastCompilation)]).

Android: Allow low-level configuration of Unity threads (priority, affinity)

Android: Big part of Android Build Pipeline is now incremental, the sequential builds with zero changes are much faster now. That also means builds are no longer created from scratch, but instead we update the files which dependencies have changed. A special care needs to be taken when IPostGenerateGradleAndroidProject callback is used, since it might be operating on files which were modified by IPostGenerateGradleAndroidProject from previous build.

Android: Bump Android Logcat package to 1.2.3

Android: Changed the device scanning operation of the Android Extension to be async when receiving an USB device changed event. (1349380)

Android: If a hardware keyboard is available, we now use it within our Unity UI systems, instead of always bringing up a virtual, on-screen keyboard.

Android: Unity gradle projects will have a new entry in gradle.properties, unityTemplateVersion. This property will be bumped whenever Unity gradle template files changes. That way if you build on top of the old folder and unityTemplateVersion is different, Unity will throw an error, saying that you need to update your gradle files or build to an empty folder.

Android: When generating manifest files, there are new files in Library\Bee\artifacts\Android\Manifest, LibraryManifestDiag.txt, LauncherManifestDiag.txt. They'll contain information about why a specific permission is added to manifest.

Audio: Added voice priority display in audio pane of profiler.

Audio: Added VU metering information from audio mixer groups in audio pane of profiler to make it easy to compare it against volume and audibility levels.

Audio: AudioMixer did not perform equal power panning for group attenuations when transitioning between snapshots. A new transition type "Attenuation" has been added. (1322673)

Audio: Improved the way audio mixers are displayed inside the audio profiler pane when the "Groups" and "Channels and Groups" view modes are enabled.
Previously the column-based sorting from the "Channels" view mode was applied to the other view modes too which resulted in inconsistent ordering of channels and groups below mixers and even mixers changing order dynamically, making the profiler hard to read.
Additionally the names of the mixers is now shown in the profiler where it currently only showed the ambiguous "Master" groups of the mixers below the "Audio Listener" group.
Finally the triangle shape after the titles of the column headers in the Detailed and Clip views was changed to an arrow that more clearly indicates the sorting order, and the arrow is now placed before the title instead of after it to avoid cutting it off when the columns are manually resized to fit the window.

Audio: Now displays target mixer groups in audio profiler.

Bug Reporter: Modified the Crash Handler window so that it now contains a stack trace, a button to open the crash log folder, and a button to restart the editor.

Build Pipeline: "Scripts Only Build" is now automatic for platforms using the new incremental build pipeline. The checkbox is removed for such platforms, and Unity will automatically detect if it can do a Scripts Only Build based on which changes there are in the project.

Build Pipeline: Improved the performance of the build pipeline by allowing concurrent shader cache read access.

Build Pipeline: Linux now uses the incremental player build pipeline.

Build Pipeline: MacOS Standalone player builds will now use a new incremental build pipeline, which allows faster subsequent player builds by only rebuilding parts which have changed.

Now, "Dont Care" corresponds to the render target being filled with arbitrary data at the beginning of the frame, which may be faster in some situations. Note that there are no guarantees for the exact content of the render target, so projects should use "Dont care" only if they are guaranteed to render to, or otherwise write every pixel every frame.

URP: When MSAA is enabled and a depth texture is required, the opaque pass depth will be copied instead of scheduling a depth prepass.

This allows an app to implement more complete support for these input devices. Also, fixed a bug with Android/Chrome OS touchpad scrolling.

Android: Added boot-config/command-line switch platform-android-cpucapacity-threshold. This specifies which CPU cores to treat as big cores. The cpu capacity is a value in the range between 0 and 1024. A capacity value of 870 yields the same behavior as before the fix for case 1349057.

Android: Added support for custom cursors to Android to support Player Settings and C# functions on Android version 7.0 and later.

Android: Allow low-level configuration of Unity threads (priority, affinity)

Android: If a hardware keyboard is available, Unity now uses it within UI systems, instead of always bringing up a virtual, on-screen keyboard.

Android: Made a large part of the Android Build Pipeline incremental which means sequential builds with zero changes are now much faster. That also means Unity no longer creates builds from scratch, but instead updates the files which dependencies have changed. If you use the IPostGenerateGradleAndroidProject callback, note that it might be operating on files which were modified by IPostGenerateGradleAndroidProject from a previous build.

Android: Unity gradle projects now have a new entry in gradle.properties, unityTemplateVersion. Unity increments this property whenever Unity gradle template files change. That way if you build on top of the old folder and the unityTemplateVersion is different, Unity throws an error, saying that you need to update your gradle files or build to an empty folder.

Android: Updated Android Logcat package to 1.2.3.

Android: When generating manifest files, there are new files in Library\Bee\artifacts\Android\Manifest, LibraryManifestDiag.txt, LauncherManifestDiag.txt. They contain information about why a specific permission is added to manifest.

Audio: Added voice priority display in the audio pane of profiler.

Audio: Added VU metering information from audio mixer groups in the audio pane of profiler to make it easier to compare it against volume and audibility levels.

Audio: AudioMixer did not perform equal power panning for group attenuations when transitioning between snapshots. A new transition type "Attenuation" has been added. (1322673)

Audio: Improved the way audio mixers are displayed inside the audio profiler pane when the "Groups" and "Channels and Groups" view modes are enabled.
Previously the column-based sorting from the "Channels" view mode was applied to the other view modes too which resulted in inconsistent ordering of channels and groups below mixers and even mixers changing order dynamically, making the profiler hard to read.
Additionally the names of the mixers is now shown in the profiler where it currently only showed the ambiguous "Master" groups of the mixers below the "Audio Listener" group.
Finally the triangle shape after the titles of the column headers in the Detailed and Clip views was changed to an arrow that more clearly indicates the sorting order, and the arrow is now placed before the title instead of after it to avoid cutting it off when the columns are manually resized to fit the window.

Audio: Target mixer groups are now displayed in the audio profiler.

Bug Reporter: The Crash Handler window now includes the following UI changes:

Stack trace field

Go to crash logs button

Report a Bugâ€¦ button

Open Unity Hub button
Note that clicking the Open Unity Hub button restarts the Editor.

GI: Added asynchronous environment sky updates for realtime GI, avoiding frame hitches whenever the sky changes.

GI: Added exposure slider to the Enlighten lit clustering scene view mode in the Editor.

GI: Ensured analytics about a cancelled bake is sent when closing the editor while generating lighting. (1354238)

GI: Hide "Show Inactive Objects" and "Isolate Selection" checkboxes on the Static Emissives tabs of the Light Explorer. These options were redundant and didn't work on said tab, since the tab shows materials, which aren't scene objects, unlike the other tabs in the window. (1331750)

GI: Lightmap analytics events now include bakes that fell back from GPU to CPU Lightmapper.
