0.8.0.0
Apps
Python
Added support for executing files with arbitrary extensions.
Properly handled
sys.exit()
usage from within a script.Updated sys.argv so
gaffer python myScript.py
behaves likepython myScript.py
.
Core
Made small optimisations to the computation engine.
UI
Added “layout:widgetType” metadata entry.
Improved image rendering quality.
Added error display in the node graph (#1115).
Added menu item for applying Random node to IntPlugs.
Fixed Box UI error when connecting external BoolPlug to internal IntPlug.
Scene
Removed support for attribute caches.
Optimised SceneReader hashes.
Improved hash computation for many node types. This should improve cache memory usage and speed.
Fixed SceneReader for invalid files and paths. Previously it would error on the first attempt, but either silently fail or crash on subsequent attempts.
Optimised PathMatcher construction.
Multithreaded child procedural instantiation in SceneProcedural.
RenderMan
Added support for a “nodeColor” annotation.
Image
Optimised ImageReader. Reduced runtime of ImageReader->ImageTransform benchmark by nearly 40%.
Fixed thread-safety bug in ImageReader.
OSL
Added UI support for OSL “help”, “label”, “divider”, “widget” and “options” metadata entries.
Appleseed
Added visibility attributes to AppleseedAttributes node.
API
Added outputsToIgnore argument to GafferTest.TestCase.assertHashesValid().
Added NodeAlgo support for plug presets specified en masse via arrays.
Added Node::errorSignal().
Added tokenize() function to StringAlgo.h.
Added support for array metadata in OSLShader.
Simplified OSLShader::*Metadata() python return types.
Added Python bindings exposing the OSL version.
Removed Source node.
Removed FileSource node.
Detemplatized ObjectSource.
Added GafferUI.LayoutPlugValueWidget. This is entirely metadata-driven, and will be used to slowly replace legacy CompoundPlugValueWidget UIs.
Deprecated CompoundPlugValueWidget.
Fixed drawing of ImageGadget children.
Added Gadget::executeOnUIThread() method.
Build
Updated README with simplified build instructions.
Added support for OSL 1.6.
Requires Cortex 9.0.0-b2.
Added Qt headers to Gaffer packages.
Fixed TBB compilation on OS X.
