Release Notes
11.0.16.9523: Jul 10 2025
All platforms: Faster checkout for thousands of files
We've significantly improved checkout performance when handling large numbers of files. Files are now grouped by their parent directory and processed in batches, reducing overhead and speeding things up.
In our tests, checking out 15,000 files from the same directory in the Desktop GUI dropped from 30 seconds to just 3 seconds—a 10x improvement. (Tested on a modern Windows machine with a 10th-gen Intel i9 CPU and SSD).
All platforms: Faster status (pending changes)
Good news: Pending changes status updates are now 3-4 times faster! You'll experience the biggest boost in speed after a machine restart, for the very first calculation on any Unity Version Control client, and with every calculation on the command-line interface (CLI).
This enhancement will especially benefit users running Unreal Engine 5 projects with One File Per Actor (OFPA) enabled, along with those who manage large workspaces that can contain hundreds of thousands of directories.
All platforms - Desktop GUI and Gluon: Pending Changes Status in the Top Bar
We’ve introduced a new mechanism that monitors your pending changes and updates the status overlay in the top bar. The working object icon now clearly displays a blue dot overlay when pending changes are detected, making it easier to track work that needs to be committed.
Screenshot
All platforms - Server: LDAP groups are not always identified as groups
When using an LDAP server, some groups were wrongly identified as users instead. This can happen with some LDAP providers like OpenLDAP.
We fixed that, and now they are properly told apart.
All platforms - Desktop GUI: LDAP user names weren't shown in the 'Changeset colors' panel
When using LDAP, user SIDs were shown instead of their names in the 'Changeset colors' panel, located in the Branch Explorer.
We changed this to shown the actual name of the user. If you already have some users added there, you can remove the entries and add them again so the display name gets updated.
All platforms - Desktop GUI: Fixed closing the ephemeral notification banner
The app showed a "A task was cancelled" error after manually closing the notification banner.
All platforms - Desktop GUI: Branch Explorer runs 'before-merge' trigger when there are incoming changes
When you are not on the head of a branch, refreshing the Branch Explorer used to execute the 'before-merge' triggers. We fixed that: now you have to actually press the 'View' button in the toolbar.
