11.0.25 - 2014-01-08
- The ray-traced version of the subsurface() shadeop now supports the "model" parameter as well as a new "singlescatter" parameter. The model can be either "classic" (for the classic dipole) or "betterdipole" for the better dipole model. The "singlscatter" parameter is a scalar ranging between 0 and 1 indicating the strength of the single scattering effect. It is recommended to set this value to 1.

11.0.24 - 2014-01-06
- Fixed licutils which would not return a hostid on some newer linux distributions.
11.0.23 - 2014-01-03
- Fixed bugs in subdivision memory statistics. Memory consumption would sometimes appear much higher than it is.
- Fixed bugs in area light sampling.

11.0.22 - 2013-12-17
- Fixed some crashes to area lights (#4944).
- "transmission" type rays with trace() now always cause surfaces to shade black, regardless of the hitmode. The transmission output itself is unaffected.

11.0.21 - 2013-12-13
- Improved area light sampling.

- Improved quality of environment map sampling with trace().
11.0.8 - 2013-10-28
- Fixed some environment map sampling artifacts which would not go away easily even with large sample counts. This can have negative impact on results with small sample counts in some cases. In most cases, it is not noticeable either way.
11.0.7 - 2013-10-24
- Improved quality of environment map sampling with trace().
11.0.6 - 2013-10-22
- Fixed grouping membership tests for instances/procedurals. Grouping membership declared outside of instances/procedurals were not considered.
- Improved network cache statistics. Maximum cache size and used cache size are now reported. Additionally, network cache read and writes have a new timing category so they don't end up in "surface" timing profile.
- Implemented "__CPUtime" AOV with the raytrace hider.
11.0.5 - 2013-10-11
- Fixed getvar( null, ... ) with uniform primvars and the raytrace hider (#4846).
- Added documentation and example for the Scene Edit API.
11.0.4 - 2013-10-09
- Fixed a bug in the Scene Edit API. Some light edits were ignored. This problem has been introduced in 11.0 .
- Added the "glass-ggx" distribution to trace() and bsdf().
11.0.3 - 2013-10-06
- Fixed multi-camera bug with path-tracer : there was no motion blur in secondary cameras (#4828).
- i-display: Image pan/zoom is now done with left mouse button instead of middle mouse button. Consequently, image browsing is now with middle mouse button. Here is a description of the changes in more details:
| Mouse Buttons | Actions | Previous Actions |
|---|---|---|
| Middle Mouse Button | Image browsing. With SHIFT modifier: Fast image browsing (for playback scrubbing). | Image Panning. With SHIFT modifier: Zooming. |
| Left Mouse Button | Image Panning. With SHIFT modifier: Zooming. With COMMAND modifier: Define Zooming region. | Fast image browsing (for playback scrubbing). With SHIFT modifier: Image browsing. |

- Fixed missing camera motion blur in GI.
- Fixed precision issues with some trim curves.
