New Features

• Added OVR Screenshot and OVR Capture Probe tools, which exports a 360 screenshot of game scenes in cube map format. See Cubemap Screenshots for more information.
• Switched to built-in volume indicator on mobile.
• Exposed OVRManager.vsyncCount to allow half or third-frame rate rendering on mobile.
• Added bool OVRManager.instance.isPowerSavingActive (Gear VR).

Bug Fixes

• Repeatedly changing resolution or MSAA level no longer causes slowdown or crashing.
• Fixed scale of OVRManager.batteryLevel and OVRManager.batteryTemperature.
• Fixed race condition leading to black screens on Rift in some CPU-heavy cases.
• Fixed memory bloat due to unpooled buffers when using MSAA.

Known Issues

• Gear VR developers using Unity 5.3.4 or later, or using Unity 5.4.0b16 and later: Do not set DSP Buffer Size to Best in Audio Manager in the Inspector for now or you will encounter audio distortion. Set it to Good or Default instead.
