RandomPrimitiveVariable : Added new node for creating random per-face or per-vertex primitive variables with a variety of distributions.
ArnoldOptions : Added new "Scene Description" options to control how Arnold archive files are written. "Binary" can be disabled to produce human readable files, and "Open Procs" expands procedurals, making it possible to write Gaffer scenes that use encapsulation.

GraphEditor : Added C shortcut for setting node colors.
SceneView : Added keyboard shortcut ; to toggle between the lookthrough (camera / light) view and the free (perspective / top / front / side) cameras. Ctrl + click on the toolbar camera icon will perform the same toggle.

Application : Fixed bug that prevented the use of sys.executable for launching a Python process. sys.executable now points to the included python executable instead of gaffer ¹.
MenuButton : Fixed immediate mode when the menu contained a single submenu.
RandomChoice : Fixed "Value/Weight" table headers when first setting up the node.
VectorDataPlugValueWidget : Fixed handling of custom header metadata when adding and removing columns.
RenderMan :
- Fixed handling of treatAsPoint and treatAsLine UsdLuxLight parameters. These are now ignored, matching the behaviour of hdPrman.
- Fixed handling of connections between floats and color/vector components ².
- Fixed bug preventing attributes from being deleted from lights during an interactive render ².
MeshNormals : Fixed bug that created an unnamed PrimitiveVariable if the normal plug was set to "" ².
VectorWarp : Fixed crash with pixel offsets much larger than any reasonable image ².
