+# What's new in SRP Core 17.1 / Unity 6.1
+The following are the new features and improvements added to the SRP Core package 17.1, embedded Unity 6.1.
 
-This page contains an overview of new features, improvements, and issues resolved in version 17 of the Scriptable Render Pipeline (SRP) Core package, embedded in Unity 6.
+## Added
+### Disable pass merging in the render graph system
+Added a render graph debug setting that allows you to temporarily disable pass merging to isolate issues or investigate performance changes.
+
+### New variable rate shading (VRS) API
+You can use the new variable rate shading (VRS) API to control the shading rate of Scriptable Renderer Features, and balance between GPU performance and image quality. This API is supported on DirectX 12, Vulkan, and compatible consoles.
+
+VRS is also known as fragment shading rate, and is a technique which allows you to decouple the rasterization and pixel shading rate. VRS can vary the shading rate across the screen space by using a shading rate image, which encodes the shading rates for different regions of the screen at different rates. When setting a lower shading rate, the pixel shader will execute at a lower frequency, which can drastically improve GPU performance.
