Fixed a bug with viewport slap comp not updating once the render converged.

Fixed a crash when trying to login with sesictrl.

Made the render hooks used by the Sculpt 2.0 state more robust against misconfigured environments.

Fixed a bug in the PolyExtrude SOP where Houdini crashed when trying to extrude a curve containing a single point. Added a warning to the node whenever trying to extrude such degenerate edges.

Fixed a bug which caused a long delay when entering the Animate State in rare situations.

Recipe - Fixed broken hou.Node.parmsAsData() and hou.data.dataForParms() functions that now return the parameter data dictionary as expected.

Fixed a crash that was caused by invalid node connections.

Fixed a crash that was caused by invalid node connections.

Fixed a bug in the Scatter 2.0 SOP that prevented detail attributes identified with the "Detail as Detail" parameter from being copied correctly.

The standard output and standard error Log Viewer sources now work on Windows even if HOUDINI_DISABLE_CONSOLE=1.

Fixed shadowmap rendering in the Flipbook ROP.

Fixed a possible core dump in VEX when inferring return types on dict square bracket operators. This line no longer crashes VEX during compiling: removeindex(d@foo["a"][0], "b")

Added Scroll to Current Frame to the Animation Editor with a Shift+F keyboard shortcut.

Fixed a regression introduced in 20.5 related to hou.text.relPath() when the paths have symlinks.

Fixed heighfield shading when a material other than a heightfield material is applied.

Fix a number of issues with decompiling graphs in APEX Script SOP that were causing issues when attempting to decompile the example component graphs.

Added support for unreal_back_actor_class in curves.

Added support for VEX derivative functions (such as Du, Dv, volume and gradient) on volume primitives.

Added support for unreal_bake_actor_class to curves.

Only fetch editable nodes if edit tools are enabled. Several checkboxes are now disabled, rather than made invisible, if they are not appropriate for the current HDA.

Fixed an issue where changing parameters would trigger a cool, even if auto-cook was disabled.
