Editor: Text Version of Unity File
I would really like a non-binary version of the Unity file, similar to the way Hammer and CryEngine level files are generated. Ultimately I want to work in a program like SketchUp to create my level, and via a SketchUp plugin, kick out the text version of the Unity file. Every other engine I've worked with to date has this but Unity and it would be EXTREMELY helpful when I'm trying to get levels into the engine.
Planned for Unity 3.5

Can we have some clarification on this? Is this already in 3.5 but only in the Pro version or is it going to be implemented in some future update to 3.5 or was it postponed to the next major update?

It looks like it is in 3.5, just not for non-pro licenses? If this is a pro-only feature, what is the reasoning behind this?

2 Alexander, Yaroslav: from http://unity3d.com/unity/preview/notes:
"Text based scene and prefab format can be used for improving team workflows. This can be turned on or off per project in the Editor settings." -

Well... 3.5 is out... nothing there, or is there? Can’t find it.

It's rumoured, that it will be present in 3.5. Is it true? Where I can read about it?

Please make the scene files text based so they can be merged

Could this also include a feature to let players make their own maps? Of course this should be an option to allow it, but many games rely on their community of map designers to make maps (like Portal (2) ).
I'm looking forward to Unity 3.5!
