PolyKnit state and SOP can now do meta-edges. A meta edge is the shortest path connecting two points. So a user can select two points that are not adjacent, and the SOP will find the path connecting them and knit appropriately. The state was modified to show the meta edge correctly.

The IK End Affector handle now works on bone chains that are controlled by an IK Chop with "Inverse Kinematics" solver type (i.e. true "IK" chains).

The objpretransform command is no longer generated with the opscript command if the pretransform is not modified from its default identity value. This improves compatibility of the opscript command with Houdini 4.x when the pretransform is not used.

The Bones state's Shift+LMB interaction has been improved. It no longer overrides your currently selected chain parent. The new behaviour is as follows:

• Shift+LMB when there is no current selected chain parent from the tipof a bone means that you wish to extend the selected bone chain. Thechain parent is then highlighted with a grey, dotted bounding box toindicate that no chain root will be created. When extending a bonechain, you may reselect the new parent at any time by doing a MMB ona new object. The currently drawing bone chain will move to the newparent's position.
• Shift+LMB when there is an already selected chain parent means to startdrawing from the selected object but with the already selected chainparent as the parent object hierarchically. Reselecting the parent withthe MMB will not move the currently drawing bone chain in this case.Note that the chain parent is indicated by a blue (as opposed to grey)dotted bounding box.
• To deselect the chain parent at any time, middle-click in the viewportwhere nothing is drawn.

The Bones state now creates bones that are oriented with the floor in the viewport that the bone was completed. The X axis of the bone is aligned to be parallel with the normal of the floor. If while in the perspective view and the construction plane is off, then the viewing plane is used.

Chain roots are now created aligned with the world axes. KNOWN BUG: This feature breaks IK w/Constraints. This will be fixed before Houdini 5 ships.
