• New Maximum Width and Height properties added to ILayoutElement.
• New Clamped FitMode added to ContentSizeFitter.

Changed

• ContentSizeFitter's PreferredSize FitMode now respects Maximum Width and Height of ILayoutElement.
• GridLayoutGroup, VerticalLayoutGroup and HorizontalLayoutGroup calculate their maximum width and height based on their children's layout element properties.

Added

• New SafeArea component that insets a RectTransform to respect the device's safe area. Supports per-edge control over which sides are inset, a configurable reference orientation so that edge assignments remain stable across device rotations, and a balance mode that symmetrically mirrors the inset on the opposite edge to keep the UI centered.
