Gaffer 1.4.11.0

[murraystevenson]

Improvements

• SetExpressions : Set Expressions containing only whitespace characters are now treated as empty rather than producing an error.
• ArnoldShader :
  • Added a UI layout for the new openpbr_surface shader.
  • Moved Arnold 7.3.3.0's new standard_volume.scatter_diffusion parameters to a "Scatter Diffusion" section of the UI.
• Viewer : Added diagnostic shading mode for visualising the values of the usd:purpose attribute as colours :
  • White : Default
  • Green : Render
  • Blue : Proxy
  • Red : Guide
• Catalogue : Added a handle for controlling the relative sizes of the listing and image property widgets.
• RenderPassEditor, LightEditor : Improved update performance for certain graph configurations, by optimising SceneAlgo::history() (history() performance regression due to #4568 #5199).

Fixes

• Arnold : Fixed bug preventing UI metadata for Imagers from being loaded for Arnold 7.3.
• WidgetAlgo : Fixed issue preventing grab() from capturing popup menus on Windows.
• ShowURL : Fixed opening of "file://" URLs on Windows (Help docs on Windows #5861).
• Shader : Fixed "Revert to Defaults" menu item in NodeEditor (Revert to Defaults menu item breaks shaders #1862).
• Catalogue :
  • Fixed bug which allowed locked Catalogues to be edited.
  • Fixed NodeEditor update when the first image is added or the last image is removed.
• NameWidget : Fixed bug which allowed plugs on locked nodes to be renamed.
• ValuePlug : Fixed the plug passed to Monitor::forceMonitoring(). Previously Process::destinationPlug() was being passed instead of Process::plug().

API

• PathListingWidget : Added columnContextMenuSignal(), allowing multiple clients to collaborate on the creation of a column-specific context menu.
• HierarchyView : Added sceneListing() method, to allow the context menu to be customised.

Documentation

• Windows : Documentation is now included in Windows release packages.
