Added an option to specify a custom value range to the Filter by Range TOP, using PDG's value pattern syntax.

The Range Generate TOP now has an option to control whether the value range is inclusive or exclusive. Previously it would always include the end value, i.e. it was always an inclusive range.

Make further file system performance improvements for HOUDINI_VDB_FORCE_STREAM_SAVE by increasing its buffer size to 128 KB blocks.

The APEX Edit Graph SOP now has a new general script button parameter for updating outdated graph node type names (maintained for backwards compatibility) to the current names. After this conversion, these graphs may no longer load in older Houdini versions.

Improve the TAB menu experience in the APEX Network View. Tools are better categorized and putting new nodes down have more readable names.

Fixed a bug where switching camera in viewport wouldn't trigger redicing with "IPR Continuous Dicing" enabled.

Fixes an exception error that can occur when MMB invokes a cook on a Texture Optical Flow node that is connected to invalid input data

Add HOUDINI_VDB_FORCE_STREAM_SAVE environment variable. When enabled, this forces .vdb files to be saved via a file stream that disables the ability to perform delayed loading on the saved .vdb files. This can improve file write performance by avoiding file seeking. Notably, Qumulo file systems suffer from this (but not Isilon file systems).

Fixed an issue with PDG throwing an exception on initialization when the `future` package is installed on the Python path.

Fixed a regression in the SOP Character Import LOP which caused it to be time-dependent when the cache mode was set to Cache All Frames

Fixed thread safety issue when calling HAPI_IsSessionValid from multiple threads.

When Karma auto-creates optimized .rat files and the working color space is not Linear Rec 709, the color space will be preserved properly. This is primarily noticeable when using non-mipmapped OpenEXR textures in XPU.

Fixed an issue where the output from HAPI was not being redirected to the Output Window properly.

Fixed an issue that kept Houdini from starting on systems built with glibc 2.39.

Fix an issue where context option changes might not cause nodes to recook when first loading a hip file with delay-loaded HDAs.

Fixed a regression in the Crowd MotionPath Edit viewer state where the pin weight HUD slider was not visible.

Fixed slow refresh in the Animation Editor with vertical adapt on.

Fixed an issue with the texture cache when auto-converted texture files when the cache was cleared (using Update Textures).

Added support for setting an explicit alpha value on a netbox.
