The TriDivide SOP now has a "Convex Polygons" option.

Introduced kma_roomlens shader to bake interior maps for kma_roommap.

Fixed a bug where the Fit Plane mode of Triangulate2D could produce a plane oriented in the opposite direction of the input polygons' normals.

Fix regression from 19.5.537 for crash that happens in the animation editor when deleting all keys in a channel while draw past ends is on.

Added a parameter to the local scheduler TOP that can be used to control the maximum memory usage of task proceses. Task that exceed the limit are killed automatically.

Introduced roommapframe SOP to setup a geometry for kma_roommap shader.

Replaced hou.NetworkEditor.setVolatileKeys() and isVolatileKeyDown() with setVolatileHotkeys() and isVolatileHotkeyDown(), which work with symbolic hotkeys rather than raw key strings.

The Open Image IO TOP now uses the hou.Color.ocio_configPath() method to select the default config path, instead of a hardcoded path.

Added a "Compute MikkT Tangents" toggle parameter to the FBX Skin Import and FBX Character Import SOP nodes to compute MikkT tangents on models with UV and normal data. These are stored as vertex attributes.

The Command Send TOP now exposes a parameter to configure whether the code should be evaluated in a standalone locale context, or in the shared global context.

Fix Houdini crash when hitting the final license failure prompt that alerted where the scene was saved from background threads. An error will be printed out to a console instead in these cases.

Fixes a bug with the Modify Point Instances LOP which prevented render and guide purpose instances from being handled internally.

Karma XPU will now gracefully fail to load images with very large data windows rather than crashing.

Improvements to material override workflows. Karma, USD MaterialX, and USD Preview builders now create the inherits if their Material Flag is enabled. Collect VOPs also create inherits arcs. This sets the stage for easier wide-scale edits of shared materials, even within instances.

Added USD Preview Builder, which filters only the small set of USD Preview shaders.

New Material Library LOPs will add a filtered tab menu. The filtered menu is focused on Material Builders/Subnets. This makes the initial tab menu far less imposing, and makes the VOP representation more closely follow what happens in USD.

Added a new mode to the Shrinkwrap SOP which computes a 2D convex hull.

Reduced memory usage for subd meshes in most cases.

Fixed issue with RMB > Save Node Type on VOP HDAs that have signature parm.

Animation Graph editor improvements.

• Added preference for MMB pan behavior. It can be found in Settings > Middle Mouse Interaction.
• Status prompts on the bottom of the screen now update to reflect this preference.
• "Show selected handles" is now the default view mode.
• Hidden slope/acceleration handles can no longer be selected.
• Hidden value handles can no longer be MMB dragged.
• Timemarks are highlighted to look more like 19.5.
