Highlights

  • EXR Overscan Redesign-v2 — Shipped the fully validated overscan implementation:
    • Offline EXR overscan outputs preserve displayWindow = delivery frame and expanded dataWindow = overscanned canvas.
    • Full support for direct renders (OpenEXR, Multilayer) and compositor File Output nodes.
    • Automatically gates off overscan controls when Render Region is active.
    • Exposes Python RNA properties (scene.cycles.overscan_mode, scene.cycles.overscan_size, etc.).
    • Renders a safety guide overlay in viewport camera view.
  • Deep EXR Kernel-Header Follow-up — Restored deep_write.h packaging, ensuring that fallback Cycles kernel compilation doesn't fail due to missing headers in the installed runtime.
  • Deep EXR Output UI Cleanup — Retired the redundant standalone Deep EXR panel while preserving the existing File Output node compositing pipeline.
  • OptiX Cache Isolation — Shipped isolated default shader cache directory path (%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\IndustrialCGPlatform\Cache\OptiX\) to prevent compile state pollution, with system override OPTIX_CACHE_PATH fully respected.
