       a) the `Packages` directory in your project where it will automatically be loaded, or
       b) to an arbitrary directory outside the Assets directory and then open Package Manager in Unity, select the `+` icon, choose `Add package from disk..` and point it to the package.json file.
       The Project panel should now show an entry `Spine Timeline Extensions` under `Packages`. If the directory is not yet listed, you will need to close and re-open Unity to have it display the directory and its contents.
+  * `SkeletonMecanim`'s `Layer Mix Mode` enum name `MixMode.SpineStyle` has been renamed to `MixMode.Hard`. This is most likely not set via code and thus unlikely to be a problem. Serialized scenes and prefabs are unaffected.
 
 * **Additions**
   * **Spine Preferences stored in Assets/Editor/SpineSettings.asset** Now Spine uses the new `SettingsProvider` API, storing settings in a SpineSettings.asset file which can be shared with team members. Your old preferences are automatically migrated to the new system.

 		You can leave this parameter disabled when everything is drawn correctly to save the additional performance cost.
 
 * **Changes of default values**
-  * `SkeletonMecanim`'s `Layer Mix Mode` now defaults to `MixMode.SpineStyle` instead of `MixMode.MixAlways`.
+  * `SkeletonMecanim`'s `Layer Mix Mode` now defaults to `MixMode.MixNext` instead of `MixMode.MixAlways`.
   * `BlendModeMaterialAsset` and it's instance `Default BlendModeMaterials.asset` now have `Apply Additive Material` set to `true` by default in order to apply all blend modes by default.
 
 * **Deprecated**
