• USD support in "read-only" mode via the VRayScene plugin,
  Experimental, partial support, subject to change:
  USD files can be loaded with VRayRenderer.load/loadScene(filename).

• Updated Util.copyPlugins():

  • Added new signatures with more informative pre- and post-create callbacks;

  • Added new signatures which allow copying plugins of a specified type;

  • Deprecated the function with the old signatures;

  • Bug fixing.

• [Python] Added a new TransformList type (implemented as a dynamic array of
  Transforms). Used it in GeomUtils.readScatterData()

• [Node.js] Added a new non-resizable TransformList type backed-up by
  FloatList/Float32Array (accessible via the 'floatList' property).
  Used it in GeomUtils.readScatterData()

• [Python] Added a new PluginList type (a dynamic array of Plugin instances).
  Now getInstnces() returns a PluginList instead of python list.

• [Python] Added missing equality comparison to Plugin classes and categories.
  (e.g. plugin.getClass() == renderer.classes.Node would work correctly now)

• [Node.js] Added a new array-like resizable PluginList type, a descendent of
  Array. Now getInstnces() returns a PluginList instead of an array of plugins
  but this should be transparent to the user in most cases.

• Read OpenColorIO data via OCIOConfigurationData type.

• [C++, .Net] Added a VRayProfilerWrite callback/event for profiler output.

• [.Net, Node.js] Added missing UIGuides string to propertyMeta.

• Added methods/properties to VRayRenderer for enabling the Visual Debugger.

• New auto-exposure and auto white balance algorithms implemented in the
  SettingsCamera plugin.

• VFB zoom camera control with keyboard and mouse now works with CameraPhysical as well.

• Added examples for vrscene export and pack assets, vrdata and vrfiles.

• Exposed flags in RendererOptions for showing the VFB Pause, Update IPR,
  CopyToHostFrameBuffer, AddLightMixREToScene and AddDenoiserREToScene buttons.
  Added the ability to set user callbacks/event handlers for them.

• Removed padding between BitmapInfoHeader and actual bitmap pixel data in in-memory
  BMPs created by compress/convertToBmp() function. Now the result is the same as
  directly writing to a file. Also in-memory BMPs are now bottom-top with positive
  height instead of top-bottom with negative height.

• Added GeomScatter, GeomEnmesh, Create-proxy-with-instancer-data and V-Ray Profiler
  examples.

• [C++] Added PluginMeta.isValid() method.

• Added an example to list GPU support of the V-Ray Plugin types and their parameters.
  

• [MacOS] Added Metal as GPU rendering engine type.[C++] Added PluginTypeId. Now in addition to a name string, plugin types can be
  referenced by an integer TypeId as well.

• [C++, .Net] Updated the ScenePreview class:

  • Added GeomInstancer data type,

  • Added getInstancerParticles() and a Particle struct,

  • Added getWorldBoundingBox() for all Object types,

  • Added getDecalSize() and getClipperSize().

• [.Net] VRayRenderer.GetPlugin<T> now works with any parent type of the
  actual plugin type or interface implemented by the plugin.

• [.Net] IPluginRef<T> interface now implements IPluginRef thus making it
  implicitly convertible to IPluginRef.

• [.Net] Added two Box.Expand() methods to make the Box struct consistent with C++.

• Added VRayRenderer.isFrameSkipped() helper function to check if the user
  has clicked on the Stop button in VFB while rendering animation.
