Added a new "prevent polygon cracking" on the displacement section of Maya meshes. This will prevent faces from separating during displacement, as long as the displacement pattern is continuous across faces
In batch mode, rfm now txmakes all needed textures using multiple workers before the render starts
Some RenderMan object attributes are now available in the channel box for mass editing
The Attribute Editor's Help menu will now open the current node's documentation page (instead of jumping to Autodesk's server). A 'rfmDocsRoot' optionVar can also be defined to point to a local RenderMan documentation server. See doxygen documentation for details
colorOffset is now taken into account on Maya's ramp node
Added shelf menu options to create volume primitives (box, sphere, cone). Right-click the volume icon to access them

MASH networks which contain a MASH_Dynamics or MASH_BulletSolver node now behave as expected
Alembic: Normals and facevarying primvars are now rendering correctly
Fixed incorrect string tokens expansion on frame 0
Fixed an issue that caused two frame sequences to not denoise when "crossframe" denoise was requested
Fix possible crash when dumping RIB
A bug that caused Xgen to fail when using more than two motion samples for motion blur has been addressed

You can find a useful Doxygenated developer documentation in the Developers' Guide under RfM2

Light Linking volumes is not currently supported
_pref references for Alembic caches not currently supported
Only motion blurred meshes and transforms retain their blur after frame changes during IPR
Deselecting "Receive Shadows" does not work.
Creating a mesh light from existing geometry during IPR will duplicate the geometry in-render. Restart the render to remove the duplicate.
We do not support Camera Facing Curves in Xgen
Xgen will not reflect changes in the Collection

Xgen : Xgen will crash during live rendering unless you set Window > Preferences > Xgen > Multithreading to "off" (unchecked).
