Changelog:

Fixed

• Bugfix: Occasional precision issue when camera rotation is exactly 180 degress, causing rotational flickering.
• Bugfix: Deceleration at the end of axis range was too aggressive.
• Bugfix: Orbital recentering should not be forced when transitioning to a camera.
• Bugfix: InheritPosition takes the actual camera position, so it works consistently if transitioning mid-blend.
• Bugfix: CinemachineDeoccluder was causing a pop when OnTargetObjectWarped was called.
• Bugfix: Spurious camera cut events were being issued, especially in HDRP.
• Bugfix: Null reference exceptions when inspector is hidden behind another tab.

• Bugfix: GroupFraming displays more accurate group size indicator in the game view.
• Bugfix: nullrefs in log when target group was deleted but was still being referenced by vcams.
• Regression fix: CinemachineCollider generated NaN positions if no target was set.

Added

• New sample: ThirdPersonWithAimMode showing how to implement a FreeLook camera with Aim mode.

Changed

Deprecated
