20.0.577

Fixed the HDK on macOS so that _LIBCPP_ENABLE_CXX17_REMOVED_UNARY_BINARY_FUNCTION is defined on the compiler line when building with Xcode/clang 15.0+. This is needed to workaround a build issue in Houdini's Boost version.

20.0.492

XPU: KARMA_XPU_OPTIX_DC_STACK_BOOST envvar now defaults to 150 to avoid issues with NVidia 535+ drivers

20.0.490

XPU: improved handling of KARMA_XPU_OPTIX_DC_STACK_BOOST envvar to avoid an NVidia/OptiX driver issue

Mon. October 9, 2023
20.0.470

XPU: KARMA_XPU_OPTIX_VALIDATION_MODE + KARMA_XPU_OPTIX_DC_STACK_BOOST envvars added, as a workaround for NVidia a ~2023 Optix driver "cudaErrorIllegalAddress" bug. Instructions: first set KARMA_XPU_OPTIX_DC_STACK_BOOST to 150 and try. If that doesn't work set it to 500 and try again. If that doesn't work, clear KARMA_XPU_OPTIX_DC_STACK_BOOST and instead set KARMA_XPU_OPTIX_VALIDATION_MODE to 1
