    Hi,

    I am working on a project with Unity 2019.4 LTS with PostProcessing v2 2.3.0.
    I was hesitant a bit to update it to v3 3.1.1.
    What are the major differences and is it safe to update it to v3?

    Thank you

    @Lurking-Ninja thanks for the link. definitely useful. I see that it has been just fixes and platform support additions. I wonder why it went to big version change from v2 to v3.

    Nowadays most packages increase major version numbers when they up the Unity editor version requirements. (v2 has a minimum Unity editor requirement of 2018.1+, while v3 has 2018.4+).

    I guess it might also happen when they add significant features to a package, but that's a rare occurrence, so usually the version number changes for purely organizational reasons.
