Unity 5 to help?

[OopsThatNotWork]

So just from my browsing, they working on Unity version 5. (Please note I know very little to nothing). Does it seem likely this may enable us to have a functioning version of KSP in 64 bit going forward? (Assuming Unity 5 release before KSP official launch)

Well unity 5 has to release... Then get implemented. Which I imagine will happen at some point? Will it help players? Maybe a little bit.. Not sure about 64bit.

Unity 5's new features are mostly geared toward developers. There is little if any instant improvement in a Unity 4 to Unity 5 migration.

A 64-bit editor is also being offered, but I'm not sure about a 64-bit player.

There's also global illumination in Unity 5. That's a vast improvement. However, I doubt KSP will benefit from that since it's such a large-scale game and details don't really matter that much.

I found a mention of an improvement in physics performance. It's an outdated article, but perhaps Unity 5 will fix KSP's horrendous physics.
