Features

• FlamencoDispatcher : Added a new node for sending tasks to Blender's Flamenco render farm manager.
• PrimitiveQuery : Added a new node for querying a primitive's type and variable sizes.

• DeleteFiles : Added node for deleting files.
• CopyFiles : Added node for copying files.
• RenameFiles : Added node for renaming files.

Fixes

• SceneInspector : Fixed Interpolation field for primitive variables that don't exist. Previously it said "Invalid", and now it shows nothing.

• NodeGadget : Fixed usage of instanceCreatedSignal() with NodeGadgets implemented in Python ¹.

API

• Image : Added updateImage() method.

Build

Breaking Changes

• SceneReader : Removed ./ prefix from relative prototype paths loaded from USD files.
• Instancer : Defaulted GAFFERSCENE_INSTANCER_EXPLICIT_ABSOLUTE_PATHS to 1, as required by SceneReader's updated handling of relative USD prototypes. The environment variable may be removed in future.

1. Fix for bug introduced in 1.7.0.0a1, so should be omitted from final 1.7.0.0 release notes. ↩
