The Houdini Ocean Procedural now deletes a number of interal primitive attributes, using less memory for high resolution ocean rendering.

XPU: shadow linking now supported for up to 4 rules/groups per scene

Fixed a bug in the Curve state where the xform pivot would be reset to the centroid of the selected points at the end of any point or handle drag.

Fixed a bug in the hrpyc module that caused the module to not work with HOM enum values.

Fixed a bug where deep images would contain invalid samples for materials with subsurface scatter under "Path Traced" convergence mode.

Fixed an error where the last frame of a video exported by FFmpeg could be missing.

The Grain POP will now work with target stiffness attributes and target weight attributes.

Fixed an Animation Editor crash when viewing pinned channels from APEX rigs.

• Fixed a bug in the importer that caused uv layers after uv2 to be loadedincorrectly.
• uv* and Cd attributes are now properly tagged with the correct attributetype.

Fixed a python error in the Curve state when using "Fuse Branch" immediately after entering the python state.

Performance optimizationis for run length encoding.

Removed deprecated instancer code (variations and MSIC) and simplied instancer code.

Fixed a crash with the Flipbook ROP when a render hook is installed.

Componentutilslib: Updated multiik with bugfix for the disconnected guidesource port.

Fixed bug on multiik where the guidesource port was disconnected.

Fixed a performance issue with the Scene View in LOPs when displying large scenes.

Fixed incorrect behaviour in the USD Skin Import SOP and the Agent SOP's USD import mode, when importing a mesh that had skinning and blendshapes along with a non-identity skel:geomBindTransform matrix.

Updated the Crowd MotionPath SOPs to support parented agents (e.g. as configured by the Agent Relationship SOP). The motion paths for child agents are deformed to reattach the agent to its parent after any edits are made to the parent motion paths.

XPU: "hitPz" rayimport (camera-space depth) uses absolute distance and no longer allows negative distance. This also addresses illegal depth values in deep image output.

Fixed an issue with work items that depend on upstream items in a feedback block not cooking properly when a cook is triggered using the "Cook Work Item" context menu entry.

Fixed a double transform bug in the multiik component if the joints are scaled.

Fixed hcustom and the HDK Makefiles on Windows so that they add the HDK pythonX.Y include directory to the compiler's header search path. This fixes errors when compiling code that includes <UT/UT_PackageUtils.h> for example.
