Stage Manager - Fixed bug where prim kinds for incoming stage is incorrectly set after a group or move operation.

Fixed a bug on the MPM Solver where kernels would not be properly optimized on Mac OSX with AMD GPUs which led to very bad performance. This fix gives a 12x speed increase on the machine we tested on.

Fix a bug that prevented Solaris from muting layers with URL identifiers.

Fixed some issues that could cause the undo/redo history to end up in a bad state when using Houdini Engine SessionSync.

Fixed issue with variant selection fallbacks defined in plugInfo.json files not being applied to new LOP networks or new hip files.

The handling of the t/r/e keys in the LOP scene viewer is now customizable with a python script (sceneviewerhooks.py).

Fixed an issue where subprocesses spawned by PDG sometimes did not terminate cleanly on Linux.

added removeportprefix parameter to the promoteNodeInputs, this will remove the default suffix.

Adding deterministic particle-to-grid as the default transfer algorithm for MPM. This change accelerates the whole solver by 230% on average when benchmarked against the examples from the mpm masterclass using a Nvidia 4090.

Fixed an issue where subprocesses spawned by PDG sometimes did not terminate cleanly on Linux.

Fixed a bug in the Explore Variants LOP's layout when exploring variants on prims in a nested hierarchy.

Implement heightfield cutouts in Vulkan.

Changed Color to be on primitives on Scene Add Prop Changed collision shapes name to be RagdollCollision

Fixed a bug with ID to Mask and ID to RGB COPs always producing outputs with 16-bit floating point precision.

COP-generated texture maps automatically saved by a USD ROP or USD Render ROP will no longer be watermarked when save from Houdini Apprentice.

COP images at the default resolution of 1024x1024 can now be saved in Houdini Apprentice.

Application shortcuts now set the "Start In" directory to %USERPROFILE% instead of %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%. This should fix some cases where the Houdini shortcuts do not work.

Adding the $FF expression in the seed of the mpmsource for the points-from-surface mode to mimic the behavior of the node in points-from-volume mode.

Log the application id when checking out a license to assist in tracking down what an application is checking out. This can be helpful as PDG and husk procedurals have a more complex licensing structure which can catch users off guard. Looking at the sesinetd log can assist in tracking down unexpected usage.

Scene Import now properly generates Karma-specific USD attributes as "inputs:karma:light:...".

Fixed a bug where Intel OpenCL devices would be ignored by default including Arc dedicated GPUs.

Fixed errors in the Character Picker when:

• Setting a buttons targets, followed by adding more targets from theviewport selection
• Attempting to change the default behaviour of a button
