# [5.0.0-preview.18](https://github.com/mob-sakai/ParticleEffectForUGUI/compare/5.0.0-preview.17...5.0.0-preview.18) (2026-06-26)

### Bug Fixes

* `ParticleSystemPreviewer` is no longer included in build ([bad976c](bad976cf01))
* `UI/Additive` shader does not support RectMask2D softness. ([83145d3](83145d3a6e))
* add support for Unity 6.7 ([26fd3da](26fd3da20b)), closes [#408](https://github.com/mob-sakai/ParticleEffectForUGUI/issues/408)
* rename `UIParticleProjectSettings.enableLinearToGamma` to `autoColorCorrection` ([10f82a8](10f82a8579))
* Support for skipping "reload domain" ([b7bb112](b7bb1124f6)), closes [#406](https://github.com/mob-sakai/ParticleEffectForUGUI/issues/406)
* there is a compilation error in Unity 2019.2 or earlier ([c327632](c327632e1e)), closes [#407](https://github.com/mob-sakai/ParticleEffectForUGUI/issues/407)

### Features

* add fields located outside the `Properties` block in the shader as `Animatable Properties` ([ea2fcfd](ea2fcfd809)), closes [#399](https://github.com/mob-sakai/ParticleEffectForUGUI/issues/399)
* preview the ParticleSystem playback when selecting a UIParticle in the Editor ([108bcfb](108bcfbd24))
* project-wide default view size for baking ([8e0ff10](8e0ff10c73)), closes [#360](https://github.com/mob-sakai/ParticleEffectForUGUI/issues/360)
