Adding an updateui hscript command. This command tells Houdini to process any events that have been queuing up. These events include externally-generated ones like mouse clicks and keypresses but they also include internally-generated ones that may have been queued as a result of executing other commands.

The -b option in mantra now accepts "half" to render half-precision floating point images. These have a high dynamic range, but only consume 16 bits per channel.

As 16-bit floating point numbers are becoming more common in Houdini, here are some statistics about what a 16 bit float can store:

• Largest value is 65504.0
• Smallest non-zero value is around .001

In general a half precision floating point number will yield around 4 digits of precision. For many cases (i.e. texture maps), the advantage of requiring half the memory is a clear advantage.
