This update includes several bug fixes and updates for third party integrations. The welcome window now has a handy set of checkboxes to enable and disable support for features such as Timeline, Cinemachine, Physics2D, and TextMesh Pro, since you can now turn these features on and off in Unity's Package Manager window.
NOTE: The next update will set the minimum Unity version to Unity 2017.4. Version 2.1.9 will be the last version that officially supports Unity 5.3 - 2017.3. Unity is ending support for 2017.3 and older, and they're asking publishers to set 2017.4 as the minimum version for assets.
