You can check the full list of changes (you may want to select another branch than master to see the latest commits) and the full list of known issues on GitHub.

What's new in the next release

  • Added support for normal mapping.
  • When setting the filename of a given key frame of a motion-blurred mesh object, the name attribute can now be set to a floating-point value (instead of just an integer), typically a time value.

What's fixed in the next release

  • Fixed very rare hangs when using materials with alpha masks.
  • Fixed black/pink outlines around low-poly objects using shading normals.
  • Fixed occasional fireflies (very bright dots) when using the Ashikhmin-Shirley BRDF.
  • Fixed incorrect contribution of the environment when seen through refractive surfaces when this combination is met: the lighting engine is set to path tracing, next event estimation is enabled and image-based lighting is enabled.
  • Fixed occasional flipping of moving cameras.
  • Graceful handling of exceptions (such as memory allocation failures) in final frame rendering mode.
  • Don't propose to bind colors to the exitance input of latitude-longitude environment EDF.
