fix: NetworkAnimator fails to synchronize end of animation loop for late joining clients [MTT-4060]

com.unity.netcode.gameobjects/CHANGELOG.md

@@ -12,8 +12,8 @@ Additional documentation and release notes are available at [Multiplayer Documen
 - When using `UnityTransport`, _reliable_ payloads are now allowed to exceed the configured 'Max Payload Size'. Unreliable payloads remain bounded by this setting. (#2081)
 
 ### Fixed
-
-- Fixed issue where NetworkAnimator was not removing its subscription from OnClientConnectedCallback when despawned during the shutdown sequence. (#2074)
+- Fixed issue where `NetworkAnimator` would not synchronize a looping animation for late joining clients if it was at the very end of its loop. (#2076)
+- Fixed issue where `NetworkAnimator` was not removing its subscription from `OnClientConnectedCallback` when despawned during the shutdown sequence. (#2074)
 - Fixed IsServer and IsClient being set to false before object despawn during the shutdown sequence. (#2074)
 - Fixed NetworkLists not populating on client. NetworkList now uses the most recent list as opposed to the list at the end of previous frame, when sending full updates to dynamically spawned NetworkObject. The difference in behaviour is required as scene management spawns those objects at a different time in the frame, relative to updates. (#2062)
 - Fixed NetworkList Value event on the server. PreviousValue is now set correctly when a new value is set through property setter. (#2067)
