# 0.18.0.0
==========
This release brings a number of updates to GafferImage, including
user-editable Formats, bug fixes to Resize and Crop, and a new Offset
node. It also fixes a few bugs todo with Expressions, Switches, and UI
crashes.
Core
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- `Node::userPlug()` is now a Plug instead of a CompoundPlug.
- Preventing unwanted child connection tracking on userPlug().
- Changed scriptNode() to return `this` when node is a ScriptNode.
- Support indirect connections to Switch index
- Emitting Node::plugInputChangedSignal() for all downstream connections.
- Expressions don't let `__in` plug track child inputs.
- Added top level plug argument to `Expression::Engine::apply()`.
- PythonExpressionEngine drives `apply()` by plug type not data type.
- PythonExpressionEngine supports arbitrary compound plugs types.
- Improved PythonExpressionEngine::defaultExpression().
- Fixed a bug in plugs/nodesWithMetadata.
- Fixed errors when serialising parent metadata only.
- Reference/Box no longer export user plugs (#801).
UI
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Skipping intermediate dots in tooltips.
- Fixed crash in the GraphGadget when a non-nodule plug was removed from a node.
- Improved UI robustness for errors on enabledPlug() expressions.
- Fixed potential connection lifetime bugs in the Viewer.
Image
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Added AtomicFormatPlug and replaced all non-user facing FormatPlugs with this.
- This plug does not perform default format substitutions.
- This plug does not serialise registered Formats.
- Changed FormatPlug to be a user-editable Format specification
- Using FormatPlug in all user facing scenarios (e.g. Constant, Resize, etc).
- Deprecated Reformat. Use Resize instead.
- Moved default Format mechanism onto FormatPlug.
- Fixed default Format issues inside boxes (#888).
- Fixed nodes which were unusable if no default format was specified in the context (#888).
- We now fall back to a default default format in that case.
- The default format was not getting transferred to the script context after loading (#888).
- Rationalised and simplified the Format registry.
- Fixed registerFormat() so that a second registration overrides the first.
- Requiring name when registering a format.
- Names should no longer include the numeric values.
- Renamed removeFormat() to deregisterFormat().
- Removed unused signals and not-so-useful methods.
- Separated registered names and ostream output.
- The ostream output just uses numeric values, keeping it in line with
the Imath classes.
- Querying the registered name for a format returns an
empty string if it hasn't been registered. Previously it returned
a generated name, making it hard to tell if it had actually been
registered or not.
- FormatPlugValueWidget supports manual entry of custom formats.
- This widget only supports FormatPlugs, not AtomicFormatPlugs.
- ImageStats now uses a postCreate to set plug values via the UI only.
- Renamed CropUI.postCreateCrop to CropUI.postCreate.
- Fixed Resize disabling.
- Add Offset node.
- Fixed bug in Crop::affects().
- Added Crop "resetOrigin" plug.
- This resets the origin of the format back to [0,0], which is intuitively what is expected.
Incompatibilities
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Changed type of Node::userPlug()
- Moved default Format API from Format class onto FormatPlug class.
- Changed Format registry API.
- Crop now resets the display window origin to 0,0. Turn off the "resetOrigin" plug for the old behaviour.
- Renamed CropUI.postCreateCrop to CropUI.postCreate.
# 0.17.0.0
==========
This release brings several major features in addition to the usual
enhancements and bug fixes. Of particular interest are the addition
of a basic keyframing system, support for using OSL expressions
alongside the existing Python expressions, and several new image
processing nodes exposing OpenColorIO functionality.
Core
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Added Animation node, providing basic support for keyframed animation.
- Added frames-per-second support to Contexts, to map between frames
and a time in seconds.
- Expression
- Fixed bug when identical expressions acted on different plug types.
- Added support for calling `context.getTime()`.
- Added support for calling `context.getFramesPerSecond()`.
- Fixed bugs when a plug or node is renamed.
- Fixed bugs when manually disconnecting an output or input
of an expression.
- Improved error reporting in the UI.
- Fixed InputGenerator backwards compatibility bug introduced in
0.16.0.0.
- Box
- Promoting a plug now properly copies plug metadata (#1468).
- Plug
- Fixed rare crash during dirty propagation.
- Fixed bug in child connection tracking behaviour.
UI
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- NodeEditor
- Plug context menus
- Added keyframing menu items for numeric and bool plugs.
- Added Lock/Unlock meu items.
- Added menu item for creating an OSL expression.
- Tool menu
- Added "Revert to Defaults" menu item.
- NodeGraph
- Added right click menu items for reordering plugs on Boxes.
- Fixed bugs triggered by the dynamic hiding and showing of plugs
via the UIEditor.
- Dot
- Added optional labels. These can be derived from the
dot node name or the upstream node name or may be
specified directly.
- Shader loading dialogues
- Added bookmarks.
- Viewer
- Fixed bug which could mean the camera would move unexpectedly
even when look-through mode is not enabled.
- Fixed OpenColorIO configs.
- UIEditor
- Fixed renaming of empty user sections.
- Prevented renaming of section to invalid names like "".
- Added default Settings section.
- Fixed presets UI to update values when the selected preset
changes.
- Ignores user plugs on box nodes.
- Box
- Added default Settings section.
- Disabled plug addition button in User section.
- Fixed bug which could cause the display of corrupted icons.
- ShaderSwitch
- Fixed UI to provide access to each input rather than just the
array input as a whole (#1461).
- Numeric fields
- Ensured that keyboard-nudged numbers have an extra 0 added as
necessary to ensure that the same digit is always being modified.
Image
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- New OpenColorIO nodes
- LUT
- CDL
- DisplayTransform
- ImageWriter
- Added file format options.
- Made sure OIIO queries for nchannel and alpha support are
respected.
- Merge
- Fixed artifacts when the data windows differ between layers.
- Fixed crash.
- Resize
- Fixed artifacts when upsizing with the sinc filter (#1457).
- Changed convention for image bounding boxes to specify that the
maximum coordinates are exclusive (outside the box).
- Fixed Crop UI for images with the default format.
- Resample
- Fixed incorrect input sample region.
Scene
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Fixed loading of UnionFilters from Gaffer 0.15.0.0 (#1474).
- Fixed loading of FilterSwitches from Gaffer 0.15.0.0 (#1474).
- Attributes are now output to the renderer before shaders at the
same location. This works around a bug in 3delight's shader
construction.
- Fixed crash when loading sets from an empty SceneReader.
- Added support for frames-per-second to SceneReader, AlembicSource
and SceneWriter.
OSL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Added support for using OSL as a general purpose expression language.
Cortex
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Fixed issue where non-ValuePlugs were not syncing during setPlugValue().
- Fixed OpHolder node summaries.
API
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Expression
- Redesigned API to better support multiple languages.
- Context
- Added "framesPerSecond" variable and time accessors.
- Metadata
- Added nodesWithMetadata() and plugsWithMetadata() methods.
- StandardNodeGadget
- Removed orientation constructor parameter. Use metadata instead.
- Added dynamic nodule reordering controlled by metadata.
- ScriptNode
- Fixed undo merging for CompoundNumericPlugs (#422).
- Plug
- Made setFlags() undoable.
- PlugLayout
- Ignore custom widgets with type "". This allows a widget
inherited from a base class to be removed by a derived class
or instance metadata.
- Removed UserPlugValueWidget.
- Added UserPlug namespace.
- Deprecated use of arbitrary Widget constructor keyword arguments
for auto-parenting. The `parenting` argument should be used instead.
- Image
- Renamed GafferImage::OpenColorIO to ColorSpace.
- Changed convention for image bounding boxes to specify that the
maximum coordinates are exclusive (outside the box).

old scenes is expected, please let us know if you have any problems
loading an old scene. Please also update any dependent code to the new
APIs as soon as possible.
- Removed InputGenerator. Use ArrayPlug instead.
- Removed FilterMixinBase. Use FilterProcessor instead.
- SwitchComputeNode and SwitchDependencyNode now require that the "in"
plug is an ArrayPlug.
- Changed base classes for many plugs, breaking binary compatibility
but in most cases not source compatibility.

UI
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- NodeGraph
- Improved "Select Affected Objects" menu item. This is now available
on filters as well as on scene processors.

- Added support for assigning to plugs within conditional
branches (#1349).
Scene
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

parenting operation, and maintains the local transforms of the
objects being constrained. Note that this is a change of behaviour,
but one that we feel is much for the better.
- Fixed ShaderAssignment to allow referencing of promoted shader input
plugs.
API
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Added `parallelTraverse()` and `filteredParallelTraverse()` methods
to SceneAlgo. These make it trivial to traverse all locations in a
scene using multiple threads.
- Added inputTransform argument to `Constraint::computeConstraint()`.
- Removed TransformPlugValueWidget.
- Used Plug rather than CompoundPlug in several places. CompoundPlug
is being phased out because the Plug base class is now perfectly
capable of having child plugs.

the Cortex display driver.
# 0.13.0.0
==========
Apps
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Improved error message for execute app.
Core
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Improved Dispatcher
- Stopped merging of identical tasks from different nodes.
We decided that this auto-merging caused more confusion than it
was worth, and it may actually have prevented useful executable
graphs which would have been intentionally running identical
tasks at different points in the graph.
- Added cycle detection.
UI
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Avoided unnecessary rebuilds of MenuBar menus. This can improve
performance for slow-to-build custom menus.

with another shader. Currently configured menu entries allow visualisation
of shader assignments and visibility for RenderMan, Arnold and Appleseed
(#1037).
- Improved error handling.
- SceneInspector
- Improved shader display in attributes section. The node colour of the
assigned shader is used as the background colour.
- Improved performance (#1050).

- InteractiveRender
- Fixed crash when deleting a running InteractiveRender.
- Fixed coordinate system update problem.
- Fixed bug preventing filter plugs from being promoted to Boxes.
- Improved set computation
- Separated the computation of sets from the computation of globals.
This should prevent delays caused when calculating large unneeded
sets along with the globals.
- Made sets compute individually on demand. This should reduce the
overhead of large unneeded sets.
- Added "sets" plug to source nodes, to allow set membership to
be defined at creation time.
- Optimised SetFilter hashing.
- Prevented wildcards from being used in the Set node (#1307).
- Made Parameters node compatible with subclasses of Light/Camera/ExternalProcedural,
such as those used internally at IE.
- Shader node now adds "gaffer:nodeColor" entry into the blind data
for the shader in the scene - this allows UI components to display
the colour as appropriate.
- Added AttributeVisualiser node. This applies an OpenGL shader to
visualise the values of attributes and shader assignments.
Appleseed
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Fixed typo in AppleseedOptions plug names.
Documentation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

- Refactored Node UI to provide all features via the PlugLayout and
Metadata entries.
- Added support for a "fixedLineHeight" metadata entry in
MultiLineStringPlugValueWidget.
- Added support for "layout:section" metadata - this allows the
layout to be split into sections, and will provide the basis for
replacing the Sectioned* widgets, adding support for sections in
the UIEditor, and replacing the section management code in the
StandardNodeUI.
- Added support for Metadata activators - these allow the editability
of a plug to be driven by the values of other plugs.
- Added support for section summaries driven by Metadata.
- Deprecated SectionedCompoundDataPlugValueWidget.
- Deprecated SectionedCompoundPlugValueWidget.
- Improved layoutOrder() API. It now returns the ordered plugs
for a specific parent, rather than accepting a possibly unrelated
list of plugs.

layouts.
- Reimplemented StandardNodeUI using PlugLayout.
- Fixed ExecutableNode::requirements() binding.

of the MultiLineTextWidget.
- Fixed support for functools.partial( classMethod ) commands in
Menus.

the GafferScene::Filter nodes to implement a Gaffer::PathFilter to
filter the children of a GafferScene::ScenePath.
- Added ScenePath::createStandardFilter() method.
- Fixed crash when a Path is deleted before its PathFilter.
- Added PathChooserDialogue.pathChooserWidget() method.

derived class bindings to base their own `repr()` implementation on
the ValuePlug one.
- Made TypedObjectPlug compatible with instantiation for new types
outside of Gaffer. This is achieved by moving the implementation into a
.inl file which may be included as necessary. Added TypedObjectPlugClass
to simplify binding such instantiations.
- Implemented PathMatcherData::hash().
- Added GafferScene::PathMatcherDataPlug.
- Reimplemented SceneNode sets API.
- Added GafferUI.LazyMethod for deferring widget method calls until
visible/idle.
Incompatibilities
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- StringPlug
- Reimplemented as a standalone class
- TypedPlug<string> is no longer instantiated (binary incompatibility).
- Must now include "Gaffer/StringPlug.h" rather than "Gaffer/TypedPlug.h"
(source incompatibility).

- Fixed unwanted auto-expansion in SceneHierarchy panel.
Scene
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

- Optimised CompoundDataPlug::hash() to ignore disabled members. This
reduces globals hashing time by 20% for a complex production scene.
- Fixes Expression serialisation bugs (#1081, #1243).
- Optimised ValuePlug hash caching. It now caches more aggressively,
keeping cache entries alive across multiple computations. This reduces
scene traversal time for a complex production scene by 70%.
- Improved dirty propagation mechanism.
- Batched propagation for UndoContexts, so dirtiness is signalled
only once for operations batched within a single undo action.
- Fixed bugs which meant dirtiness was signalled when child/parent
plug connections were in an inconsistent state.
- Addition and removal of dynamic plugs now triggers dirty
propagation.
- The values of environment variables used for string plug
substitutions are now frozen at startup.
