+	Assets/StreamingAssets + Assets/WebGLTemplates), please select all applicable paths that would be included in the package

+### Exporter Changes
+
+- Package exporter is now a separate module (similar to Uploader and Validator)
+- Fixed hidden folders being included when exporting package content
+    - Note: this prevents an issue with the Unity Editor, where exported hidden folders would appear in the Project window 
+	as empty folders when imported, despite having content on disk. Content nested within hidden folders is still collected, 
+	provided it contains unique .meta files
+
+## [11.2.2] - 2023-02-23
+
+### Validator Changes
+
+- Updated the 'LOD Setup' test to address some issues
+	- Added additional checks for LOD renderers (inactive renderer check, LOD Group reference check, relative hierarchy position to LOD Group check)
+	- LOD Group Component is no longer required to be on the root of the Prefab
+	- Updated the test result message interface when invalid Prefabs are found
+
+## [11.2.1] - 2023-01-17
+

+- Fixed a rare error condition when queueing multiple package uploads in quick succession
+- Fixed Asset Store Uploader state not being properly reset if the uploading process fails
+
+### Validator Changes
+
+- Updated the Asset Store Validator description
+- Fixed a rare memory overflow issue when performing package validation
+
+## [11.2.0] - 2022-11-03
+
+### Uploader Changes
+
+- Uploader will now use the custom package exporter by default
+    - An option to use the legacy (native) exporter can be found in the Asset Store Publishing Tools' settings window
+- When exporting from the Assets folder, package dependencies can now be selected individually instead of being a choice between 'All' or 'None'
+    - This option is only available with the custom exporter
+- Changed the way the Uploader reports completed uploading tasks
+    - Modal pop-up has been replaced by a new UI view state
+	- Added an option to the Asset Store Publishing Tools' Settings to display the pop-up after a completed upload
+- Changed exported .unitypackage files to have distinguishable file names
+- Fixed the Uploader window indefinitely stalling at 100% upload progress when a response from the Asset Store server is not received
+- Fixed native package exporter producing broken packages when the export path contained hidden folders
+- Fixed an issue with high CPU usage when uploading packages
+- Fixed Asset Store Publishing Tools' settings not being saved between Editor sessions on macOS
+- Other minor changes and tweaks
+
+### Validator Changes
+
+- Added two new tests:
+    - 'Types have namespaces': checks whether scripts and native libraries under the validated path are nested under a namespace
+	- 'Consistent line endings': checks whether scripts under the validated path have consistent line endings. This is similar to the warning from the Unity Editor compilation pipeline when a script contains both Windows and UNIX line endings.
+- Improved 'Reset Prefabs' test to display and be more informative about prefabs with unusually low transform values
+- Improved 'SpeedTree asset inclusion' test to search for '.st' files
+- Improved 'Documentation inclusion' test to treat '.md' files as valid documentation files
+- Improved 'Lossy audio file inclusion' test to treat '.aif' and '.aiff' files as valid non-lossy audio files
+- Improved 'Lossy audio file inclusion' test to search the project for non-lossy variants of existing lossy audio files
+- Removed 'Duplicate animation names' test
+- Tweaked validation severities for several tests
+- Other minor changes and tweaks
+
+## [11.1.0] - 2022-09-14
+
+### Uploader Changes
+
+- Package Publisher Portal links can now be opened for all packages regardless of package status
+- External Dependency Manager can now be selected as a 'Special Folder' if found in the root Assets folder
+
+### Validator Changes
+
+- Added category selection for the Validator
+    - Categories help determine the outcome of package validation more accurately. For example, documentation is not crucial for art packages, but is required for tooling packages.
+- Added a list of prefabs with missing mesh references to 'Meshes have Prefabs' test when the test fails
+- Corrected the message for a passing 'Shader compilation errors' test
+- Improved the floating point precision accuracy of 'Reset Prefabs' test
+- Fixed 'Missing Components in Assets' test checking all project folders instead of only the set path
+- Fixed 'Prefabs for meshes' test not checking meshes in certain paths
+- Fixed 'Reset Prefabs' test failing because of Prefabs with a Rect Transform Component
+- Fixed 'Reset Prefabs' test ignoring Transform rotation
+- Fixed test description text overlapping in some cases
+- Other minor changes and tweaks
+
+## [11.0.2] - 2022-08-09
+

+## [11.0.1] - 2022-08-05
+
+### Uploader Changes
+
+- Added Settings window (Asset Store Tools > Settings)
+- Added Soft/Junction Symlink support (enable through Settings)
+- Added workflow and path selection serialization (workflow saved locally, paths locally and online)
+- No more logs when using the `-nullable` compiler option (thanks @alfish)
+- Some API refactoring in preparation for CLI support
+- Other minor fixes/improvements
+
+**Note:** when updating Asset Store Tools from the Package Manager, don't forget to remove the old version from the project (V11.0.0) before importing the new one (V11.0.1)
+

+- Package can now be validated in the Uploading window by pressing the “Validate” button
+- Added refresh and logout buttons to the bottom toolbar for easier access
