1.0.0-beta.5
-
Security and privacy
- no longer uploads your account name or email address. The CLI's log file records paths under your home directory on nearly every line, and a bug submission attaches that file as-is, so on a machine where the account name is your real name, submitting a report sent it too. Both are now redacted as each line is written: the account name becomes
unity bugwherever it appears, and email addresses become<user>. Nothing else about the line changes, so an install failure stays diagnosable. Logs written before this release are unaffected; delete them if you'd rather not send them.<redacted-email>
-
Issues fixed
-
A retried module download innow resumes the partial file it already has instead of starting that module again from the beginning. A module that failed and then succeeded within the same run previously left one numbered file per attempt, such as
unity install-modulesandandroid (1).pkg; it now leaves a single file and downloads its bytes once. The retry count and the exit code are unchanged.android (2).pkg -
,
unity build, andunity testnow report an Editor killed by a signal asunity run, naming the signal, instead of reportingstopped with signal SIGSEGV.exited with code 1,SIGILL,SIGTRAP, andSIGFPEare recognized too, where they previously surfaced as a bare number such as 132. An Editor that exits normally still reports its own exit code.SIGBUS -
Routine outcomes no longer suggest you report a CLI bug. Declining a module's license terms, being told to passin a non-interactive shell, running
--accept-eulafor an Editor you haven't installed, setting an invalid path withunity modules <version>, aunity install-path --setwhose build fails, and aunity buildthat waits on another install's lock all stopped printing "Rununity installto report this issue". The messages, the exit code (6), and theunity bugenvelope, including the--format jsonerror code, are unchanged, so scripts that branch on them keep working. An Editor that crashes mid-build is still reported as a fault.BUILD_FAILED -
,
unity --help,unity -h, and bareunity helpshow the Unity logo header again. The header still stays out of the way when you pipe the output, passunityor--quiet, or ask for a machine-readable format, and subcommand help such as--no-banneris unchanged.unity install --help -
now produces a script that registers itself with zsh, so pressing Tab completes commands, subcommands, and flags. The script previously defined the completer without telling zsh about it, and Tab fell back to plain filename completion with no error to explain why. Save it to a directory on your
unity completion zsh:$fpathmkdir -p ~/.zsh/completionsunity completion zsh > ~/.zsh/completions/_unityThen make sure yourhas~/.zshrcfollowed byfpath=(~/.zsh/completions $fpath). bash, fish, and PowerShell completion are unaffected.autoload -Uz compinit && compinit -
Thehelp text shows its credentialed example as
--proxy, so it's clear which parts you substitute. In Spanish, the username in that example is no longer mistranslated.http://<user>:<pass>@host:8080

Breaking change
- Linux now requires glibc 2.34 or newer. This drops support for Ubuntu 20.04 and earlier, Debian 11, RHEL and CentOS 8, and Amazon Linux 2. RHEL 9 and Ubuntu 22.04 are the oldest supported releases. The and
.debpackages declare the requirement, so.rpmandapt upgraderefuse the update on an affected system and leave your working CLI in place, anddnf upgradechecks before it downloads. If you're on an affected distribution, stay on 1.0.0-beta.3. macOS and Windows are unaffected.install.sh

Installation and updates
- Added winget as an install source on Windows: , then
winget install Unity.CLIto stay current.winget upgrade Unity.CLI - Added Homebrew as an install source on macOS and Linux: , then
brew install --cask unity-cli.brew upgrade unity-cli - Added self-updating Windows installs. now updates an MSIX install directly instead of deferring to winget, downloading only the parts of the package that changed. It also registers the install with Windows, which then keeps the CLI current in the background. Rollback remains unavailable on MSIX.
unity upgrade - Added , which reports the version and channel the install resolved, the manifest it reads, and the exact command that updates it. On Windows it also shows the update feed Windows is registered against.
unity diagnose update
- Added winget as an install source on Windows:
-
Editor and project management
- Added , which runs one command across every registered project. Narrow the set with repeatable
unity projects exec -- <command>terms, raise concurrency with--filter, and use--parallel <n>to run the whole fleet regardless.--continue-on-error - Added to delete a project's regenerable cache folders and reclaim disk space. Use
unity projects clean [project]to list the targets and sizes without deleting.--dry-run - Added to find installed Editors no registered project uses, with the disk space each would reclaim. Report-only by default;
unity editors pruneuninstalls them after confirmation.--remove - Added to check that an installed Editor's binary and modules are present and non-empty, catching installs left broken by antivirus quarantine or a failed extraction.
unity editors verify <version> - Added to pack an existing project into a portable template archive.
unity templates pack <project-path> --output <file>
- Added
-
Build automation
- no longer requires
unity build. On Unity 6 and newer,--execute-methodbuilds a Build Profile, and on every version the desktop targets build without a method, so--profile <path-or-name>works with no project-side C# code.unity build --target StandaloneWindows64 --output-path Build/MyGame.exekeeps working and takes precedence.--execute-method
-
Authentication
- Added multi-account support. adds an account without dropping existing sessions,
unity auth loginshows every stored account,unity auth listchanges the active one, andunity auth switch <account>signs out one account while preserving the rest.unity auth logout <account> - Added per-project default accounts with , so cloud-authenticated commands run from inside that project resolve it automatically.
unity auth default <account>
- Added multi-account support.
-
AI agent integration
- Added to install the Unity CLI agent skill into an AI client's rules or skills directory, in that client's native format. The skill is embedded in the binary, so it works offline and matches the running version.
unity skill install <client>re-renders previously installed skills after an upgrade.unity skill refresh
- Added
-
Automation and CI
- Added CI-native test reports and code coverage to , so it drops into a GitHub Actions or GitLab pipeline without a converter step.
unity test - Added detached Editor command jobs: and
unity command <name> --detachreturn a job ID immediately, andunity eval <expr> --detach,unity job wait, andunity job statusmanage it. Requires a Unity pipeline package with job support.unity job cancel - Added live Editor task progress to and
unity command, rendered as a progress bar on an interactive terminal and asunity run --commandframes under{"type":"progress"}.--format ndjson - ,
unity command,unity list, andunity jobnow find the right Editor on their own when several are open, by matching the directory you run them from against the registered projects. Explicitunity mcpstill takes precedence.--project-path - Added the full query surface to listings:
unity command,--query,--tag,--group_by,--sort,--order,--offset, and--limit.--detail - can now attach files with
unity bugand a stripped copy of the project with--attachments <paths...>.--share-project <path>
- Added CI-native test reports and code coverage to
-
Output and integration
- failures are now machine-readable: a failed command ends the stream with a terminal
--format ndjsonframe carrying the same fields as the{"type":"result","success":false,…}envelope, instead of reporting only on stderr.--format json - Long human-readable output now scrolls in a pager on an interactive terminal, using ,
$UNITY_PAGER, or$PAGER. Machine formats, piped output, andlessnever page. Opt out with--quietor--no-pager.UNITY_NO_PAGER
-
Interactive shell
- Added full line editing to the prompt: Up and Down recall previous commands across sessions, Tab completes commands, subcommands, flags, and values, and Left, Right, Home, and End move within the line.
unity shell - Tab completion now completes pipeline command names live from the connected Editor.
- Added full line editing to the
-
Issues fixed
- now verifies that the downloaded binary starts on your system before replacing the one you have, and no longer cancels itself where the temporary directory is mounted
unity upgrade.noexec - no longer overwrites an npm-managed install; it now defers to
unity upgradethe same way it defers to apt, rpm, and Homebrew.npm i -g @unity/cli@latest - no longer causes the Editor to open Unity Hub, and the Editor now picks up the account you signed in with.
unity open - commands and Unity Version Control commands now work on a machine that has never run Unity Hub.
unity license - no longer hides upgrades for Apple silicon and Arm Windows Editors, no longer offers an older patch than the newest in the line, and no longer reports prerelease Editors as up to date when a newer prerelease exists.
unity editors upgrade - now finds releases on entitlement-gated lines, such as extended LTS.
unity editors info <version> - now distinguishes an unreachable release service from a version that doesn't exist, retrying briefly and exiting with the new code 7 rather than blaming the version.
unity install <version> - works again on macOS and Linux, and
unity hub installworks again for Hub 3.20.0 and newer.--hub-version - Running a command with no longer leaves root-owned directories that break every later command.
sudo - failures now report the underlying reason instead of a bare
unity install, and interrupted downloads can be resumed withInstallation Failed.--resume - Editor and module downloads are now verified against the release manifest's checksum, including downloads resumed across attempts.
- now writes the config key and file path each AI client actually reads, preserves comments and formatting in the files it edits, and the
unity mcp configureandrun_teststools return as soon as the Editor answers instead of always failing at their poll timeout.recompile - Running a command group without a subcommand now prints its help to stdout and exits 0 instead of reporting a usage error.
- Editor Pipeline commands now work behind an HTTP proxy, and long-running Editor commands no longer hard-fail at 60 seconds.
-
Security
- Values that come from Unity services, user-editable settings, or the licensing client are now sanitized before they're printed, so a crafted value can't smuggle terminal escape sequences into your terminal or forge extra rows in output. This covers table headers and cells, interactive prompt choices,
tsv,unity license status,unity editors default, andunity install-path.unity config proxy - A rejected value shaped like
--proxyno longer echoes the password in the usage error.user:pass@host - on macOS and Linux now refuses an Editor whose stored location resolves to a filesystem root.
unity uninstall - Updated the bundled HTTP client library, which now rejects header values containing CR or LF characters.
- Values that come from Unity services, user-editable settings, or the licensing client are now sanitized before they're printed, so a crafted value can't smuggle terminal escape sequences into your terminal or forge extra rows in

unity shell --protocol ndjsonso automated callers and agents can run many commands in one warm process and read one parseable result per command.stdio - Updated piped and scripted sessions to exit with the code of the first failed command instead of always exiting
unity shell.0
- Added persistent command history to
-
Editor and project management
- Added to list running Unity Editor instances with the open project, Editor version, and process ID.
unity editors running - Added to report a project's on-disk size broken down by top-level folder. Use

unity projects close [project]to bound the graceful wait and--timeout <seconds>to terminate the process when it can't exit.--force - Added to remove installed modules from an Editor by module ID.
unity editor module remove - Added as an alias for
unity install <version> --list-components.unity modules list <version> - Added to run a registered
unity run --command <name>Editor command headlessly in a single invocation. The CLI starts the Editor in batch mode, runs the command, prints the return value, and shuts the Editor down. Requires the Unity pipeline package.[CliCommand]
