Fixed a harmless "GLD_TXTURE_INDEX_2D is unloadable" Apple OpenGL warning that occurred at Houdini startup on macOS.

Persist the "Disable color correction" toggle in the color editor across sessions.

• Reduced the time it takes to startup the animate caching thread in theAPEX Animate state to less than 1ms.
• Fixed a bug where the APEX Animate caching thread would startup at thestart of playback if there was a pending key.

Improved the speed of the APEX Animate state when scrubbing the playbar.

Fixed a bug with hserver where it was caching dynamic discoverd settings like DNS server settings which caused hserver to stay on that sticked setting instead of discovering the new value.

Fixed a bug in the UV Flatten from Points SOP that could result in a crash after a cook failure.

Fixed issues with the Insert Quick Material menu in the Material Linker LOP.

Fixed a faulty warning message, which was displayed in the log when running ML Train Gsplats, where it claimed it couldn't find the image path. Functionally nothing changed.

Fixed a bug in the Neural Layer to Mask (SAM2) COP, where toggling on proxy mode caused the node to error as it was expecting fixed 1024x1024 input size.

Fixed a bug where the geometry inputs for a modifier HDA were always being disabled and greyed out. Now only the first input will be disabled because it is reserved for the object that the modifier is applied to.

Fixed the Houdini PyImath libraries so that they have a custom "_sidefx" suffix in their library names. This helps avoid conflicts with system PyImath libraries.

Fixed an issue with hkey where preferences required a restart.

Unify the use of the term "Data Set" in parameter labels of ML Train Neural Cellular Automata and ML Preprocess/Train GSplats TOP nodes replacing the previous "Dataset".

Added clearer error message to ML Train Gsplats logs, when detecting GPU architectures incompatible with installed PyTorch or CUDA versions.

Fixed a bug in the glTF importer where it mapped the specular color factor in materials to generic 1,2,3 channel names instead of the Houdini r,g,b color channel names.

Fixed a bug in the glTF importer where it mapped the specular color factor in materials to generic 1,2,3 channel names instead of the Houdini r,g,b color channel names.

Introduced new parameters for controls over the Ray Directions on the Cage Mesh on Bake-Pre Process COP and SOP, which by default sets their directions to their topological match on the Low-Resolution.

Fixed a bug where ML Train Gsplats failed when running on multi-GPU linux systems.

Added support for the glTF diffuse alpha, occlusion texture strength and normal texture scale material properties to the Mtlx glTF Material.

Refactored ML Train Neural Cellular Automata TOP hutil training scripts; no user-facing behavior change.
