@@ -21,6 +21,7 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.
 - Move Assets/Create/Rendering/Universal Render Pipeline/Forward Renderer to Assets/Create/Rendering/URP Forward Renderer
 - Removing unused temporary depth buffers for Depth of Field and Panini Projection.
 - Optimized the Bokeh Depth of Field shader on mobile by using half precision floats.
+- Added Depth and DepthNormals passes to particles shaders.
 
 ### Fixed
 - Fixed an issue where ShadowCaster2D was generating garbage when running in the editor. [case 1304158](https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/product/unity/issues/guid/1304158/)
