 - Fixed the ray tracing shadow UI being displayed while it shouldn't (case 1286391).
 - Fixed issues with physically-based DoF, improved speed and robustness 
 - Fixed a warning happening when putting the range of lights to 0.
+- Fixed issue when null parameters in a volume component would spam null reference errors. Produce a warning instead.
