Added support for default sprite mask shaders for the 2D Renderer in URP.
Added View Vector node to mimic old behavior of View Direction node in URP.
Added support for the PlayStation 5 platform.
Enabled deferred renderer in UI.
Added support for light layers, which uses Rendering Layer Masks to make Lights in your Scene only light up specific Meshes.

Added Decal support. This includes new Decal Projector component, Decal renderer feature and Decal shader graph.
Added a SpeedTree 8 Shader Graph but did not set it as the default when importing or upgrading Speed Tree 8 assets. Because URP doesn't yet support per-material culling, this Shader Graph does not yet behave in the same way as the existing handwritten SpeedTree 8 shader for URP.
Added optional Depth Priming. Allows the forward opaque pass of the base camera to skip shading certain fragments if they don't contribute to the final opaque output.
Added blending and box projection for reflection probes.
Added 'Store Actions' option that enables bandwidth optimizations on mobile GPU architectures.

Added a new UI for Render Pipeline Converters. Used now for Built-in to Universal conversion.
Added sections on Light Inspector.
Reorder camera inspector to be in the same order as HDRP.

Added URP Global Settings Asset to the Graphics Settings - a common place for project-wide URP settings.
Added possibility to rename light layer values.
Added Light cookies support to directional, point and spot light. Directional light cookie is main light only feature.
Added GetUniversalAdditionalLightData, a method that returns the additional data component for a given light or create one if it doesn't exist yet.
VFX: Basic support of Lit output.
Added Motion Vector render pass for URP.
VFX: Fix light cookies integration.
Added Lights 2D to the Light Explorer window.
Two new URP specific scene templates, Basic which has a camera and directional light, then Standard which has the addition of a global volume with basic post effects setup.
Added Render Settings Converter to the Render Pipeline Converter, this tool creates and assigns URP Assets based off rendering settings of a Builtin project.
XR: Added Late Latching support to reduce VR latency (Quest).
Fixed incorrect shadow fade in deferred rendering mode.
Added a help button on material editor to show the shader documentation page

Changed
Moved fog evaluation from vertex shader to pixel shader. This improves rendering of fog for big triangles and fog quality. This can change the look of the fog slightly.
UNITY_Z_0_FAR_FROM_CLIPSPACE now remaps to [0, far] range on all platforms consistently. Previously OpenGL platforms did not remap, discarding small amount of range [-near, 0].
Moved all 2D APIs out of experimental namespace.
ClearFlag.Depth does not implicitely clear stencil anymore. ClearFlag.Stencil added.
The Forward Renderer asset is renamed to the Universal Renderer asset. The Universal Renderer asset contains the property Rendering Path that lets you select the Forward or the Deferred Rendering Path.
Improved PixelPerfectCamera UI/UX
Changed Pixel Snapping and Upscale Render Texture in the PixelPerfectCamera to a dropdown.
Move Assets/Create/Rendering/Universal Render Pipeline/XR System Data to Assets/Create/Rendering/URP XR System Data
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.

Changed UniversalRenderPipelineCameraEditor to URPCameraEditor
Made 2D shadow casting more efficient
Reduced the size of the fragment input struct of the TerrainLitPasses and LitGBufferPass, SimpleLitForwardPass and SimpleLitGBufferPass lighting shaders.
Bokeh Depth of Field performance improvement: moved some calculations from GPU to CPU.
Advanced Options > Priority has been renamed to Sorting Priority
Opacity as Density blending feature for Terrain Lit Shader is now disabled when the Terrain has more than four Terrain Layers. This is now similar to the Height-blend feature for the Terrain Lit Shader.
DepthNormals passes now sample normal maps if used on the material, otherwise output the geometry normal.
SSAO Texture is now R8 instead of ARGB32 if supported by the platform.
Enabled subsurface scattering with GI on handwritten Universal ST8 shader.
Material upgrader now also upgrades AnimationClips in the project that have curves bound to renamed material properties.
2D Lights now inherit from Light2DBase.
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.
Stripping shader variants per renderer features instead of combined renderer features.
When MSAA is enabled and a depth texture is required, the opaque pass depth will be copied instead of scheduling a depth prepass.
URP Asset Inspector - Advanced settings have been reordered under Show Additional Properties on each section.
Changed the default name when a new urp asset is created.
URP Asset Inspector - General section has been renamed to Rendering.
Refactored some of the array resizing code around decal projector rendering to use new APIs in render core
UniversalRendererData and ForwardRendererData GUIDs have been reversed so that users coming from 2019LTS, 2020LTS and 2021.1 have a smooth upgrade path, you may encounter issues coming from 2021.2 Alpha/Beta versions and are recommended to start with a fresh library if initial upgrade fails.
VFX: New shadergraph support directly on Universal target.
