Fixed potential memory leaks in a proxy object API.

Fixed a bug where syntax highlighting in the textport could access freed memory.

Fixed issue when loading a hip file where the view commands from the desktop file would override those from the hip file.

Fixed bugs where finding the closest handle in screen space to the current mouse position did not work properly in multi-viewport layouts.

Added a workaround to an Nvidia compiler regression in their 495 drivers and above. This should fix GLSL compiler errors causing missing geometry

Fixed breakpoint selection on NURBS surfaces.

Fixed a bug in the Smooth 2.0 SOP that could result in a crash when the input geometry contains unconnected points.

Updating the EULA to version 2021-10-13.

Fixed an issue with spotlight shadowing in the viewport that could cause excessive shadowing.

Added the option to clear the PYTHONPATH variable before starting the Houdini Engine server, and when the asset is viewed in Houdini via the "View Assets in Houdini" menu item.

Added the sidefx::maya_parm_syncs_asset parm tag. This tag notifies Maya that a full asset sync should be performed when the parm is modified.

Fixed a bug where sesinetd could log invalid information to the peak usage file. This would cause the parser to fail.

Fixed an mplay crash when loading some deep raster images.

Fixed an alembic crash in the viewer when mixing deforming alembics with other non-alembic primitive types.

Fixed a crash when linearizing deep raster images with mixed data formats when loaded through the File COP.

Fixed bug where the New Project dialog file chooser was not set to choose directories.

Fixed bug where SOP states with multiple selectors triggered the cleanup of previous selectors twice.

Fixed bug where the desktop menu would overwrite memory when opened with more than 20 entries.

Fixed potential crash rendering cryptomatte layer with packed primtives, if the matching user property wasn't declared on the primitives.

Added a Neighbor Group parameter to POP Steer Separate, which specifies the points that are considered when searching for nearby agents.

Fixed crash on hip file load that could occur trying to set a radial menu with the setting of a current desktop not yet fully processed.

Added the ability to specify the HAPI connection timeout. This is useful if Houdini takes a long time to start.

Fixed an issue where empty particle system primitives were ignored by SOP Import.

Added an option to the Crowd Trigger's raycast mode to use the agent's orientation to determine the ray direction rather than the agent's velocity. This can work better for stationary agents or for locomotion where the agent's velocity is in a different direction than where the agent is facing.
