Dear CEOs, We are using the Unity 2018 and we are in 2019. In the car industry, we start designing and making a model 10 years in advance. Let say we start making a car in 2010 and we call it 2010; when is ready, let say in 2020, nobody will use that final pretty stable car because it is called 20…

Hi Alan, Thanks for your idea. However, the reason we call the build 2019 LTS, even though it’s released in 2020, is because it contains all the features that were developed during the 2019 year. It contains the features and bugfixes from 2019.1, 2019.2, and 2019.3. Calling it 2020 LTS would be fal…

@Charles_Beauchemin Yes, I completely agree. But instead of making a Unity 2021, jump that year and call it Unity 2022 instead! Please This is much better for new users as well. New users are looking for Unity 2020 on youtube when actually need to learn how to use Unity 2019 instead. And that crea…

As for my experience, Unity Tech versions are equivalent to betas in terms of stability, breaking-compatibility changes, and version support along their releases. Only the latest point version is supported. For example you can’t expect features or fixes to be backported from .2 to .1. You can only m…

I’m with Unity on this one, I think it’s a stupid, marketing driven trend to +1 every year. It’s like adding X’s to your gamer tag. “Basketball 2020”! But it doesn’t contain any of the new players from 2020, it’s just trying to one-up the competition.

I think the car analogy is not a great one because the models sold this year are labeled with next year’s date. That would be like renaming 2019 LTS to 2021 LTS. Which sounds like the stupid market driven trend tbillington talked about. I agree with Edy. The tech stream is more like a beta, and the…

[image] Deozaan: that the LTS is now the recommended version of Unity to use It always was this way. Nothing new. They are talking about this list, the 2019.LTS is the first one, since that is the latest non-beta or non-alpha release. [5961530--639173--answer.PNG]

The way they worded it in the blog post makes it sound like even after 2020.1 is released, 2019 LTS will still be at the top of that list. But I suppose there is some ambiguity there.
