In their own words
Crashpad
Crashpad is an open-source crash-reporting system and client library for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows. It embeds in an application, where a handler snapshots a registered process after a crash, saves a dump, and can send it to a collection server configured by the embedding client. Applications can also request process-state dumps on demand for diagnostics. Reports use the Windows minidump format with Crashpad extensions and generally contain loaded modules, thread registers and stack memory, selected operating-system state, and memory referenced by registers and stacks. Applications can add key/value annotations, application-specific metadata, and custom minidump streams. Uploads use HTTP or HTTPS through the Breakpad wire protocol, with a documented limit of one upload per hour and failed uploads aborted. The design requires applications to obtain and honor consent because process memory may contain sensitive data. Crashpad is a client-side component; a processor is planned without a completion timeline.
Unity Version Control
Unity Version Control is an engine-agnostic source control tool for game development teams working with large files and binaries. It supports centralized and distributed workflows with branching and merging, as well as file-based workflows for artists. Smart Locks check that a user has the latest version before allowing a file lock, helping reduce merge conflicts. Teams can use Unity-hosted cloud servers or run the server on their own infrastructure. Desktop clients are available for Windows, macOS on Apple Silicon or Intel, and Linux. Named integrations and supported tools include JIRA, Rider, TeamCity, Jenkins, Bamboo, Unreal Engine and Discord. The free tier is free and includes unlimited cloud seats, 25 GB storage per organization per month and 100 GB egress per month; usage beyond included limits is pay-as-you-go. Unity lists on-prem seats at $38 a month. Upload and download communications use SSL, and permissions can be set for repositories, branches and individual items.
