Fixed

• Fixed the UI that could start refreshing forever, never completing the ongoing operations.
• Fixed the auto checkout for assets to only apply for file containing actual changes.
• Fixed project download from the Hub that was silently skipped when trying to download inside another workspace. It's now logging an explicit error in the console.
• Fixed a null exception that could occur when switching to the changesets tab very quickly after checkin.
• Fixed bulk editing meta files that was only performing a single checkout for the last element.
• Fixed a null exception that could occur on Revert to this revision if the selected change triggered a domain reload.
• Fixed the scroll that was not at the top when opening the branches or the shelves view.
• Fixed an error that was showing when deleting a shelveset that wasn't the one selected in the list.
• Fixed merge success notification that was showing in the view potentially colliding with contents.
• Implemented a mechanism to fix the path to UnityYAMLMerge.exe in the client.conf so it always points to an existing Unity installation.
• Fixed the apply shelve operation so that it checks for dirty changes and warn the user before applying the shelve.
• Fixed Undo changes of a Moved asset using the Asset Context Menu from the Project View that was leaving an inconsistent .meta file.
• Added the option to add a folder by path to the ignore or hidden changes list, instead of the incorrect option "Using the item extension".
• Fixed incorrect branch name in the history of a file for a revision where it was moved, displaying details of the move instead of the name of the branch.
• Fixed the Unity Editor crashing on macOS when opening the Unity Version Control window with the PiXYZ Plugin installed.
• Fixed a null exception that occured when using the diff search filter without any shelve in the repository.
