- Added ContextMonitor class.
- Menu : Added `modal` argument to `popup()` method.
- MetadataAlgo : Added `affectedByChange()` overload for nodes.
0.30.2.0
========
Improvements
------------
- Graph Layout : Don't apply positions if the layout algorithm fails.
- StandardOptions : Added "render:sampleMotion" parameter.
- Currently with Arnold support ( RenderMan support requires Cortex update ).
- Arnold backend : Options prefixed with "header:" are written into the header of image outputs.
Fixes
-----
- ArnoldDisplacement :
- Accepts OSLShader inputs to map plug.
- Fixed dirty propagation.
- ArnoldOptions : Removed errorColorBadMesh option.
- Arnold backend : Leave instancing of ASS archives to Arnold itself.
- Fixed a crash bug when Arnold's procedural cache is in use (tested in Arnold 4.2.15.1)
- Build :
- Fixed failing Travis tests by removing `ImageWriterTest.testMultipleWrite()`.
- IE options supply DCC specific LINKFLAGS if specified.
0.30.1.0
========
Improvements
------------
- Arnold backend : Added support for adding arbitrary parameters to the Arnold options by using
a CustomOptions node to create options prefixed with "ai:declare:" (#1911).
- ArnoldOptions : Added AA_seed. If not specified, this defaults to the current frame (#1913).
- Expression : Added support for PathMatcherDataPlugs in python expressions. In particular this allows the FilterResults node to be used as an input to an expression (#1915).
- Documentation : Added Expression reference (#1918).
Fixes
-----
- Dispatcher
- Fixed GIL management bug which could cause deadlock if pre/post dispatch slots launched threads that attempt to use Python (#1916).
- Fixed UI bug in frame range field (#1917).
- Reference : Reconnect outputs from any plugs.
API
---
- Menu : Added support for `functools.partial` in "active" and "checkBox" fields (#1914).
- NodeGraph : Added support for "nodeGraph:childrenViewable" metadata. This controls whether the subgraph of a node is accessible via the "Show Contents..." menu item and the cursor down keypress (#1914).
- PathMatcher/PathMatcherData : Added Python __repr__ support (#1915).
