Fixed a bug where some portion of VDB volume could appear missing with velocity blur enabled.

• Fixed incorrect material assignment when using instancers.
• It is now possible to use/mix both material override attributes (unreal_materialX)and material instance attributes (unreal_material_instanceX) with instancers.
• Fixed generated material instances not always being properly baked for instancers.
• Removed the "Update Input Landscape" feature as it was non longer needed.Please use Landscape Edit Layers instead.

Fixed bug where the reference plane ruler numbers would jump to the other side of the grid lines a little too early.

The Attribute VOP & Wrangle SOPs will no longer rebuild their snippet cache if the group field changes.

The attribute wrangle and volume wrangle SOP's snippet cache is no longer reset on changing binding names; this in particular speeds up the attribute paint SOP with many layers.

Fixed a bug where fully occluded area lights would be sampled excessively under variance convergence mode.

Fixed a bug that could result in a crash after an item is evicted from the Alembic archive cache.

• Added missing support for Data Table output with PDG.
• Fixed build errors with UE5.2 preview 1.The plugin's source code can now be built with UE5.2 preview 1.

Fixed a crash when using Cryptomatte COP in a subnet with nothing wired into the subnet input.

Fix a rare case in the Vellum Solver where simulating very small triangles with Triangle Stretch constraints could lead to NAN values when using the CPU OpenCL driver.

Fixed a bug where area lights under variance convergence mode would take an extra sample in direct lighting even when noise is below threshold.

Fixed a bug where, under variance convergence mode, matte holdout objects would always cast maximum number of secondary rays allotted when there are no holdout AOVs present and take longer to render.

husk now calls Resolve() before mapping a render buffer.

Fix a Python 2 problem with the hotkey manager having mixed Unicode and ASCII strings which was causing a conversion exception.

Fixed a possible crash subdividing mesh with a degenerate face.

Fixed an issue in Karma CPU which could have caused the renderer to pull in unexpected MIP levels from maps. This was particularly possible when many polygons were small in screen space.

Handle deprecated calls to mallinfo() in utility libraries.

• Fixed an issue that caused landscape inputs to trigger unnecessarycheckouts when reading landscape data.

Fixed a bug in the Crowd Source SOP where randomizing the initial state only supported pattern matching against clips from the first input agent, ignoring the effects of the Randomize Agent Primitive option.

Removed the message "Retrieving information about installed licenses..." from sesictrl.

Fixed a bug that could cause edge selections to break geometry being marshalled from 3ds Max into Houdini.

Fixes a bug in the Karma LOP which prevents the use of expressions to drive the savetodirectory parm.

Particle Trail SOP now respects the lenstart and lenend incoming attributes when set to use them. Also fixed the randomization buttons for these attributes.

Fixed a threading bug where nested instances 2 levels deep (or deeper) sometimes failed to render.

Fixed a bug that caused the "hemax_material" and "hemax_node_name" attributes to not be marshalled for some modifier HDAs.
