Release notes

Unity User Manual (2019.2) Use the Unity Editor to create 2D and 3D games, apps and experiences. Download the Editor at unity3d.com. The Unity User Manual helps you learn how to use the Unity Editor and its associated services. Every new application you develop should have its own dedicated project; this will allow you to keep your Assets organized and easy to track. New projects should be created through the Projects tab of the Unity Hub, which is the central location for managing everything related to Unity. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a new Unity project. Download the latest Unity release. Unity 2019.3 includes a new UI, a new Input System, physics updates, faster in-Editor iteration, the debut of ray tracing in Unity. See in Glossary is a core package that ships with Unity. You do not need to install it in new Projects. When you upgrade existing Unity Projects, created with version 2019.2b1 and earlier, to Unity 2019.2, this package is added automatically. Assembly definitions automatically get a.
