New audio engine. Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects. Mid- and post-processing.

Improvements to the Visual Scripting System by Swarnim Arun. Here you can see the Sponza demo model, with baked direct lighting, and the corresponding light map: Note that this first pass is not taking occlusion into account yet. Further optimizations will be done so it isn't necessary to process the same scripts again and again.

Coding camera angles for games and animation has been a pain … Until now. Before Unity Cinemachine, camera movement needed to be directly keyframed or, using code, had to be carefully scripted. With that in mind, Cinemachine is a feature-rich plug-in that was also designed with game developers at the forefront of their thoughts.

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. Scripting them is simpler now as well. In previous versions of the engine properties related to moving, sliding, and colliding had to be passed to move_and_slide() manually. Sometimes user-level scripting is not enough, though.
