• XPU now fully supports the denoiser.  RMAN-19904, RMAN-20456
• Support for denoising arbitrary AOVs.  added --diffuse, --specular, --albedo, --irradiance and --alpha arguments to denoise_batch. This allows a user to pass a comma separate list of channels to be mapped to one of the aux outputs.  RMAN-20611
• Fixed a problem that would cause the denoiser to fail if your images had a resolution width or height that was an even power of two.  RMAN-20612
• Preferences are now written to the .pixarPrefs directory within your home directory instead of directly to your home directory.  RMAN-20657
• denoise_batch can now take a --frame-include and --frame-exclude options. These allow the user to specify which specific frames should be denoised. This is useful for crossframe denoising, where you don't necessarily want to denoise the entire sequence in a single command.  RMAN-20579
• Fix issue with --output option creating the wrong output directory. We weren't handling the case where we were given a relative path.  RMAN-20656

All Bridge Products

• Fixed a bug where user's PYTHONPATH could cause denoise_batch to fail.  RMAN-20518
