1.4.0-pre.3

[1.4.0-pre.3] - 2025-06-06

Added

• The SystemTypeIndex associated with a SystemHandle can now be retrieved. Furthermore, multiple methods, which allow for better system access, have been added.
• Disabled, Present, Absent and None components on queries in the System inspector.
• Dependency tab in the System inspector, which shows the components a system depends on.
• Prefabs now stand out as prefabs in the query window.

Changed

• ChunkEntityEnumerator performance has been improved in every case except when running with useEnabledMask = false on Mono where it got about twice as slow. If this is problematic, use a for loop instead in this particular case.
• Updated Burst dependency to version 1.8.21

Fixed

• ComponentLookup.TryGetRefRW<T>() now correctly updates the change version for type T in the target chunk.
• Now you can use fully specified generic components as parameter in an IJobEntity.Execute
• Now you can use conditional using statements in the middle of other using statements when you have a source file containing an IJobEntity
• Multiple issues in the entities documentation has been fixed.
• FastEquality returned incorrect results for nested structs.
• Referencing a UnityEngine.Component in a UnityObjectRef, no longer causes build errors.
• When the clone of a companion GameObject is instantiated (during Live Conversion) it is now placed inside the correct scene on instantiation.
• SystemAPI.Query no longer generates duplicate component references if .WithChangeFilter<T>() is used in with .WithDisabled<T>() or .WithPresent<T>().
• Removed a broken link to the SystemInstance structure in the package documentation.
• TypeManager.Initialize is much faster due to lazily registering companion component types.
