Brazil Public Test Release Notes

What's New In This Release (most recent changes at top)

• 0.4.53
• Fixes shade rate errors with certain sampling combinations, notably when combining shade rate undersampling and image undersampling.
• Removed the 'autobackup may affect render times' warning.
• Added a new console message that auto-backup has been disabled and will be re-enabled at render end (if it was enabled).
• Created a new sampling subclass which is much lighter in memory overhead.  63% less memory used.  This is used by the adaptive depth of field sampler and reduces the memory required for depth-of-field by 63%.
• Depth of field sampling now uses a special Shade loop in ShadeClient that is a bit more efficient.  Depth of field should be slightly faster as a result of this and the reduced memory footprint.
• Fixes crashes (bug#237?) with rayFX ray tracing combined with GI, skylight, or arealighting.
• fixes bug#235 - Omni with raytraced shadows with csg do not render the shadows correctly in the Y axis  (thanx Johan and Liimuri)
• 0.4.52a
• Quicky fix for the Stats button moving when resizing the console.
• Fixes the console crash (bug #284), which also fixes the missing map cancel not working with the console closed bug.
• fixes the prob with the missing UV map dialog not being able to cancel the render.
