Version 0.81.0

Core

• Improved dirtiness propagation mechanism to remove duplicate signal emission.

UI

• Backdrop improvements
  • Backdrop contents can now be scaled, so large backdrops can still have readable text when zoomed out.
  • Fixed bug which meant that empty backdrops didn't immediately redraw as highlighted when selected.
  • Improved resizing behaviour.
  • Fixed cut and paste bug.

Scene

• Added doublesided attribute to StandardAttributes node (#275).

Arnold

• Fixed packaging of Arnold plugins.
• Fixed problem where light shaders weren't being created as lights.

RenderMan

• Fixed public build to work with older 3delight versions where RiProceduralV isn't available.
• Added support for several new attributes in RenderManAttributes node (#275).

API

• The plugDirtiedSignal() is now emitted when a value has been edited with ValuePlug::setValue() - this means that observers need only ever use plugDirtiedSignal() instead of also having to use plugSetSignal() as well.
• Added Style::characterBound(). This returns a bounding box guaranteed to cover the largest character in the font. It is useful for correctly positioning the text baseline among other things.
