HEMAX_HDA_PATH can now be set to a list of directories, with directories separated by a semi-colon (';'). Previously, HEMAX_HDA_PATH could only be set to a single directory.

Added a user preference for the Thrift connection timeout length. The user preference can be configured within the Session Configuration tab.

Bumped the HDK ABI version due to addition of member to GU::BVH::Options.

Fixed performance issue painting with Attribute Paint when there are hidden primitives by extending support for in-place updating of ray intersect caches to cover this case.

Fixed a "Type conversion already registered" warning that occurred when importing the PySide6.QtConcurrent module in Python code executed in hbatch.

Corrected the vex documentation for uniqeval which incorrectly stated that

"primgroup", "pointgroup", and "vertexgroup" could be used in the

attribute class parameter.

Fixed a bug with the USD Render Scene node throwing an error when a custom priority was specified using its scheduler settings.

Fixed a "Type conversion already registered" warning that occurred when importing the PySide6.QtConcurrent module in hython in the Qt 6 build.

Fixed an hdk bug related to UT_FixedVector::isZero() revealed by clang 19.

The asset catalog pane no longer allows edting the label of an asset loaded from a read only data source.

In Python XML Menus, tolerate having python expressions that begin with "return".

Fix the Merge and Cache LOP's behavior in cases where its first input has non-default root layer metadata. This situation could result in the creation of an unexpected extra output layer, which would then disappear the next time the node cooked.

Fixed a bug in the Qt 6 build where empty windows started popping up on the desktop when using the OpenGL ROP or when creating a Houdini clone.

Fix crash in the rig::PrimConstraint APEX node when used with polygons with more than 4 vertices.
