Version 0.14.0.0

UI

• NodeGraph
  • Improved "Select Affected Objects" menu item. This is now available
    on filters as well as on scene processors.
  • Added support for dragging objects from the Viewer and SceneHierarchy
    and dropping them onto scene processors and PathFilters, to specify
    the affected objects.
    • Dragging onto a node replaces the current paths.
    • Shift+Drag adds to the current paths.
    • Control+Drag removes from the current paths.
  • Added plug context menu for moving promoted plugs on Boxes.
• NodeEditor
  • Added "Select Affected Objects" menu item in the tool menu for
    filters and scene processors.
• UIEditor
  • Added + button for adding plugs, and - button for deleting them.
  • Added the ability to create nested sections and drag+drop plugs
    between them.
• Viewer
  • Fixed grid and gnomon menus.

Core

• Expression
  • Added support for setting multiple plugs from one
    expression (#1315).
  • Added support for vector, color and box outputs (#1315).
  • Added support for assigning to plugs within conditional
    branches (#1349).

Scene

• Improved ParentConstraint so it is acts more like the equivalent
  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.

  • ExecutableNode::dispatcherPlug()
  • LocalDispatcher dispatcher plug
  • Shader::parametersPlug()

• Fixed support for boost python object methods as menu commands.

• Pointer

  • Fixed registerPointer() method.
  • Added binding for registerPointer().

• Added scoped argument to Signal.connect() python bindings.

• Added SignalClass for binding signals, and deprecated the old
  SignalBinder.

• Added support for binding signals with 4 arguments.

• Added LazyMethod.flush() method.

• Fixed update bug in PathListingWidget.setSelectedPaths().

• Added support for "nodule:type" metadata to control the type
  of nodule created for a plug. This should be used in preference
  to Nodule::registerNodule(), which has been deprecated.

• Added support for modifying CompoundNodule orientation, spacing
  and direction using plug metadata.

• Improved signalling of instance metadata changes.

• Added default arguments for ValuePlug constructor arguments.

  Incompatibilities

• Changed Constraint::computeConstraint() function signature.

• Changed ParentConstraint behaviour to include the local transform of the constrained object.

• Removed TransformPlugValueWidget.

• Changed plug type returned by ExecutableNode::dispatcherPlug().

• Changed Dispatcher::SetupPlugsFn signature.

• Changed ExecutableNode::dispatcherPlug() signature.

• Changed Shader::parametersPlug() to Plug rather than CompoundPlug.

• Removed asUserPlug arguments from Box promotion methods. Plugs are
  now always promoted directly under a box, and never as user plugs.

• Changed signature of Nodule::registerNodule() when registering a subclass.

• Changed signature of CompoundNodule constructor, which now accepts a Plug
  rather than CompoundPlug.

• Replaced UIEditor setSelectedPlug()/getSelectedPlug() methods with
  setSelection()/getSelection().

• Added arguments to Metadata signals.
