May I ask when Shadow linking can be applied to Karma XPU? This is very important for rendering work in Solaris.

We have this scheduled for the next major release of Houdini

May I ask if it is the next major version or minor version? 21？ or 20.5.xxx？

The major number is this part (ie the first number)
20.5.xxx

ps: It's not guaranteed to be 21, our marketing team might decide on something else for whatever reason

I hope they do not plan to change it to "car model / release year" versioning scheme. It's super confusing to have a "car model year" software released in different year, that supports yet another different set of "release / car model year" versions of libraries /vfxplatform.

To be clear, there is no plan to change things atm. Its just that our guidelines as devs is to not say what the next major version number will be, just in case
