• Fixed an issue where Mac is unable to select .Bgeo or .bgeo.sc files when attempting to load bgeo
• Fixed a number of errors and potential errors after issuing an undo command.

• Create UI_Manager prior to creating the Qt app for hstats. Fixes crashes on MacOS/Linux.

Fixed a bug where MaterialX translucent_bsdf node was using wrong normals and either not work or behave in unexpected ways. This addresses the broken "Thin Walled" parameter on Mtlx Standard Surface.

Fixes a debug assertion in Topo Transfer multigeo regression test due to a detail mixup when fetching a primitive group.

Updated MotionClip Extract Key Poses SOP to add parameters for defining a range over which to extract key poses. Additionally, the parameters which were used to reample the MotionClip have been removed since resampling can now be done using the MotionClip Retime SOP.

Added a new hou.hipFile.saveAndBackup() HOM function that saves the current .hip file and also saves the previous state of the .hip file to a backup .hip file.

Fixed the behavior of the hou.hipFile.saveAsBackup() HOM function to match its documented behavior. The function now saves the current scene to a backup .hip file.

Added icons to the Make Rounded Corner and Remove Rounded Corner buttons on Curve::2.0, and moved these buttons to be with the other buttons on the tool and in the toolbox.

Fixing an issue where hkey would auto logout the user.

(MacOS only) Fixed an issue that "/Applications/Houdini/Current" symlink was not updated when current linked Houdini installation was removed.

Fixed an error that Launcher gave incorrect warning asking users if they want to remove an installation after the installation had been removed.

Hide the option for saving new files as text if text file saving is unavailable.

Fixing a bug that caused some of hserver deprecated API functions to not work properly.

The Vellum Solver now respects the "dead" point attribute, meaning the POP Kill DOP can be used to remove particles and any associated constraints from a Vellum simulation.

Fixed a bug in Chain SOP resulting in the Piece Rotation being ignored when the Mode is set to Deform Between Pivots.

If the HOUDINI_USE_HFS_OCL environment variable is set to zero, Houdini will no longer load the built-in OpenCL driver from Intel at all, which avoids crashing in some environments with virtual display drivers. Note that this environment variable must be set in the OS (e.g. from the command-line, shell, or registry.) Setting it in houdini.env will maintain the old behavior of loading the Intel driver but ignoring it.

Fixed an occasional viewer crash when deleting prims when rendering through a render delegate.

Fixed a object transform issue with the bounding box replacements in the viewer when Distance-based Packed Culling is active.

(UE5) Added support for controlling Nanite settings via attributes:

• "unreal_nanite_enabled" (int, 0 or 1 ) can be used to enable Nanite processing when building a StaticMesh.
• "unreal_nanite_position_precision" (int) can be used to set the position precision.Step size is 2^(-Value) cm
• "unreal_nanite_percent_triangles" (float [0 1]) can be used to control the percentage of triangles to keep from LOD0.1.0 = no reduction, 0.0 = no triangles.

New hou.SceneViewer.hudInfo API:

• Viewer states should now use hou.SceneViewer.hudInfo instead of hou.qt.HUDInfofor displaying a HUD in the viewport.
• hou.SceneViewer.hudInfo should fix the transparency issue that was occuringwith some linux window managers.
• The hou.qt.HUDInfo class is no longer available to users.
• With hou.SceneViewer.hudInfo, the current viewer state will close the HUDautomatically when exiting.
• Also, viewer states are no longer required to implement the "Shift-F1" keyfor minimizing the HUD, this is now done by Houdini.
• See "$HFS/packages/viewer_state_demo/scenes/state_draw_interrupt_demo.hip"for a demo of hou.SceneViewer.hudInfo.

Quality of life improvements:

• Added an option to disable cooking for disabled objects
• Added an option to cook on child transform change. It is only valid if cook on transform change is true, but it is true by default now.
• Added "Select from Hierarchy" for inputs, allowing you to directly select inputs from the hierarchy.

Fix geodiff command line utility when comparing index pair attributes for their property values (eg. for boneCapture attributes).

The Spline Cap SOP is now verbified.

The Convert Volume SOP is now verbified.

configurejoints no longer has the mirroring option configurejoints no longer supports computing limits from a motionclip from a different skeleton
