Fixed a bug where right-handed mesh without normals primvar or diced meshes would only compute normals based on first motion segment and lead to shading errors when there's large deformation blur.

Fix network editor event hooks mechanism to prevent cyclic imports. The example event hook code in the documentation now works as expected.

Stage Manager - Fixed bug where handle lingers after deleting an asset

Stage Manager - Added support for nested variants

Fixed a crash on Linux that would occur when doing a background render with "External Render Process" logging turned on (which it is by default).

Recipes - Added back missing torch geometry for Pyro Configure GPU Torch.

Fixed an issue with XPU compiles where there was a small chance that the compiler cache could get corrupted, causing shaders to break.

Fixed a bug in the Feather Resample SOP where shaft base points were duplicated when resampling only the shaft base.

Spare Parameter generation for Attribute Wrangles will again tolerate trailing whitespace before the comma or close parenthesis.

Spare parameter creation on Attribute Wrangles will again allow whitespace between the final quote and the next comma or parenthesis.

Added Perforce Python bindings to Houdini's Python distribution.

Fixed handling of COPopenfxdenylist file in Windows resulting in excessive blocking. This file can be used to block OpenFX plugins by file name or by plugin ID - see the provided default file for examples.

Fixed 3D volumes not updating in the viewport when the view is homed.

Fixed sluggish viewer performance when a volume-based primitive was merged into the same detail with a large mesh.

Fixed an issue in the Quick Shapes tool where creating nodes at the object level did not move the network view there.

Fixed an issue in the Quick Shapes tool where setting 'Tool Options' to 'Create in Context', while being at the object level, would cause an error.

Fixed a bug in the PolyExtrude SOP where Polygon Soup primitives were not extruded as expected.

Fixed an issue in Ramp parameters where modifying the ramp using the Reverse and Complement buttons did not trigger the ramp's callback.

The PCA SOP will properly update in analysis or scree mode when upstream geometry changes. The scree charts will be the correct size, including when skipping is done. A crash where switching from volume to attribute mode has been fixed.

Fixed the Delete Channels Parameter Editor right mouse menu command to work with Motion FX CHOP overrides.
