Gaffer 1.2.9.0

[johnhaddon]

Caution : A bug fix in the handling of the ai:volume:step_scale attribute may change the appearance of Arnold volume renders.

Improvements

• DelightOptions : Added new options for modern 3Delight, as of version 2.9.39.
• ShaderQuery and ShaderTweaks : Added a filter for shader parameter names in the shader browser (Adding a search filter in the Affected Shaders window #5293).
• ImageReader : Added availableFrames output plug, listing all the available frames in the current file sequence.
• MatchPatternPathFilterWidget : Added the name of the property being filtered to the placeholder text.
• OpenImageIOReader : The availableFrames plug no longer errors for a missing file sequence - instead it outputs an empty list.
• PathListingWidget : Header data is now computed asynchronously, without locking the UI.
• CollectScenes : Improved cancellation responsiveness for large lists of rootNames.

Fixes

• Arnold : Fixed bug that caused ai:volume:step_scale to be ignored if ai:volume_step was set explicitly to 0.0. This was different to the behaviour when ai:volume_step was not set at all.
• LightEditor :
  • Fixed hang caused by the soloLights set triggering on an upstream Python expression or ComputeNode (Light Editor GIL Lock #5365).
  • Fixed thread-safety bug that meant the LightEditor attempted to perform computes while the graph was being edited.
• OSLImage : Fixed bug preventing channels / layers from being deleted using the right-click menu.
• HierarchyView : Fixed crash triggered by layouts with two or more HierarchyViews (Double Hierarchy View Crash #5364).
• Context : Fixed crash triggered by a reentrant call to Context::set() from within a slot connected to Context::changedSignal().

API

• MatchPatternPathFilterWidget : Made the entries in the property menu configurable.
• TweakPlug : Added PathMatcherData compatibility in Replace, Create, ListAppend, ListPrepend and ListRemove modes.
• PlugAlgo :
  • Added support for creating a PathMatcherDataPlug from PathMatcherData in createPlugFromData().
  • Added support for getting PathMatcherData from a PathMatcherDataPlug in getValueAsData().
• EditScopeAlgo : Added support for editing options.
