099 Experimental Beta 2017.3340 posted

Major update here folks!

IMPORTANT - There are BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY ISSUES as noted in the release notes, such that when CHOP channels are casted to strings in python they now represent their true float nature and are returned as ‘0.0’, not ‘0’. This is more consistent with how python does casting of floats to strings, but may break legacy scripts that didn’t explicitly cast to an int before casting to a string.

There are also a lot of great new features added to the Parameter COMP making it easier to create control panels from operator parameters.

A lot of rendering features have been improved to work on AMD GPUs and macOS, including Render TOP transparency and depth-peeling, the Depth TOP, the SSAO TOP, the Blob Track TOP and more.

As well, we encourage those who were having startup crashes with the last build to try this build ASAP as we squashed that bug too.

More details in the Release Notes, happy weekend!
