Husk now handles the "dummy raster product" filename better with the -o command line option. In some cases, the delegate and husk would write the same output file when -o was specified. This should no longer happen.

20.0.895
  • Added support for the "unreal_pdg_asset" detail attributes.This can be used to indicate to the plugin if the HDA is expected (or not)to use PDG. This is especially useful on big HDAs that contain a lot of nodesas it will speed up instantiation and rebuild times significantly.
  • Improved the logic used when parsing TOP Networks and when automaticallyidentifying PDG Assets.
  • Improved performance when instantiating/processing large HDAs.
  • Rebuilding an HDA no longer causes every parameter to be individually re-seton the Houdini side. This significantly reduces the time needed for theseoperations on big HDAs that have a lot of nodes and parameters.
  • Fixed errors/warnings for UE5.5.
