This page contains the release notes for the Unity CLI versions released in April 2026, from newest to oldest.

0.1.0-beta.3

Release date: April 24, 2026
  • Fixed an issue where 
    unity install
    , 
    unity install-modules
    , and 
    unity auth
    failed with a service resolution error after a fresh installation.
  • Fixed an issue on Linux where the CLI used 
    ~/.local/share/unityhub
    for Hub data. The CLI now reads and writes Hub data in 
    ~/.config/unityhub
    , which matches the Unity Hub location and keeps projects, Editors, and preferences synchronized between the CLI and Unity Hub.

0.1.0-beta.2

Release date: April 23, 2026
  • Added 
    unity implode
    to uninstall the CLI. This command removes the installed binary and environment files and clears stored credentials from the operating system keyring. In non-interactive shells, the command requires the 
    --yes
    flag and only works on a CLI installed using the official installer.
  • Added 
    unity projects create
    to create a Unity project from the CLI.
  • Added 
    unity changelog
    to display the release notes for the installed CLI.
  • Added 
    unity upgrade --changelog
    to preview release notes for an update without installing it.
  • Added 
    unity upgrade --target <version>
    to upgrade to a specific published version instead of the latest version in your channel.
  • Added interactive 
    unity upgrade
    which shows release note previews for the target version before confirmation.
