[14.0.8] - 2023-09-27

This version is compatible with Unity 2022.3.11f1.

Changed

Improved CPU performances by disabling "QuantizedFrontToBack" sorting in opaque rendering.
Avoid clamping to integers for HDR manipulation.
Reduced GC Alloc when using raytracing and HDRP.
Updated description of Decal Projector Draw Distance setting to mention HDRP asset setting.

Fixed

Made HDRP RenderPIpelineSettings public to enable customizing the HDRP asset.
Properly take into account sky attenuation for baking.
Updated HDRenderPipelineResources file.
Fixed HDProbes to support custom resolutions for all rendering modes.
Fixed TAA aliasing edge issues on alpha output for recorder / green screen. This fix does the following:

Removes history rejection when the current alpha value is 0. Instead it does blend with the history color when alpha value is 0 on the current plane.
The reasoning for blending again with the history when alpha is 0 is because we want the color to blend a bit with opacity, which is the main reason for the alpha values. sort of like a precomputed color
As a safety, we set the color to black if alpha is 0. This results in better image quality when alpha is enabled.

Added check to ensure gismos arent rendered when they shouldnt be.
Fixed quad overdraw debug at high resolution.
Fixed cloud layer rotation does not allow for smooth rotation.
Fixed GetScaledSize when not using scaling.
Fixed VT init to avoid RTHandle allocation outside of HDRP rendering loop.
Upgrading from DLSS 2.4 to DLSS 3.0 for upscaling part.
[Backport] Fix the incorrect base color of decals for transparency.

Fixed shaders stripping for Lens Flares.
Fixed color pyramid history buffer logic when history is reset and the color pyramid is not required.
Fixed scene template dependencies.
Minor fix to HDRP UI when Raytraced AO is enabled.
Added a new custom pass injection after opaque and sky finished rendering.
Fixed D3D validation error for area lights in HDShadowAtlas.

Fixed FTLP (Fine Tiled Light Pruning) Shader Options max light count. Previous support only supported up to 63 These changes allow to go up to 255 with higher instability as numbers per tile approach 255. For support greater than 255, do it at your own risk! (and expect some flickering).
Mixed runtime lights were not considering the intensity multiplier during bakes. These changes fix this behaviour and make bakes more intuitive.
Fixed the incorrect size of the material preview texture.
Removing linq and complexity on light units validation Light units validation was using Linq, which is full of memory allocations and very expensive in the CPU. Instead, opting to use a simple bitmask to check wether light unit is valid or not for a certain light type. Caching also managed arrays to avoid in frame allocations.
