• Added URP support (#5).
• Use procedural geometry (DrawProcedural) on SM3.5+.
• Added support for both forward and deferred renderers (built-in RP).
• Added ignore layer mask settings to OutlineLayerCollection (previously the ignore layers were specified when adding game objects to layers).

• Fixed post-ptocessing implementation to require depth texture.

Removed

• Dropped .NET 3.5 support, minimal Unity version is set to 2018.4.
• Removed IOutlineSettingsEx interface.

Depth testing support and performance optimizations.

Added

• Added support for depth testing when rendering outlines. When enabled, outlines are only rendered around the visible object parts (#1).

Bugfixes and project layout changes.

Fixed

• Fixed OutlineBehaviour to allow changing its state while its GameObject is inactive.

MaterialPropertyBlock-based rendering and Unity Post-processing Stack v2 compatibility.

Added

• Moved to for MaterialPropertyBlock-based rendering. This is in-line with Unity post-processing Stack and is more performant approach.
• Significant optimizations made to OutlineRenderer.

Changed

• IOutlineSettings now implements IEquatable.
• Changed all outline shaders to use HLSL-based macros.
• Modified all shaders to ignore MVP vertex transform to be compatible with the new rendering model.
• Exposed rendering APIs for OutlineLayer and OutlineLayerCollection.

Fixed

• Fixed TiledGPUPerformanceWarning on mobile targets.

Removed

• Removed OutlineMaterialSet class. It is not used in MaterialPropertyBlock-based effect rendering.

Quality of life improvements.

Added

• Added OutlineLayer.Enabled.
• Added OutlineLayer.Name.
• Added possibility to change render order of layers via OutlineLayer.Priority.
• Added possibility to edit renderers of an OutlineLayer.
• Added possibility to alter CameraEvent used to render OutlineEffect.
• Added more info to the OutlineLayer preview inspector.

Changed

• IOutilneSettings setters now throw if overriden.

Fixed

• Fixed OutlineLayer.Add not filtering renderers by the mask passed.
