[johnhaddon]

Features

• Tools Menu : Added item to populate the Arnold GPU cache, which may improve startup times for GPU renders.

Improvements

• Viewer : Tool hotkeys now work as toggles for non-exclusive tools. This is currently noticeable on the Camera Tool - pressing T again will deactivate it.
• ArnoldShader and ArnoldLight : Added activators and sections to the UI.
• ImageWriter : Options are only displayed for the file format being written. If the extension is unknown, all format options are shown.
• Light Editor : Added keyboard shortcuts for selected light.
  • Alt+E : Edit source node.
  • Shift+Alt+E : Edit tweaks node.
• Edit Menu : Added item to rename one or more selected nodes, with accompanying keyboard shortcut (Quick Node Rename Hotkey #4286).
• Box : Rename plug dialogue now ensures names are valid as they are typed.

Fixes

• ArnoldMeshLight : Fixed illumination from textured mesh lights. This was broken in 0.61.2.0.

API

• ArnoldShader : Added support for gaffer.layout.activator and gaffer.layout.visibilityActivator in .mtd files.
• PlugLayout : User interface sections are now hidden if all plugs in that section are hidden.
