The LuxRender Team is pleased to announce the fifth release candidate for the upcoming v0.6 release.
As before we've prepared a set of archives containing everything packaged. (luxrender/luxconsole/dll's/luxblend)
We'd like to ask all community members to give us a hand and test and identify problems with this release,
even if they are things already reported, as it's difficult keeping track of the many bugreports we've had during the last months.
RC4 ought to be the last RC, but there have been extensive changes and fixes and this warranted another RC before final.
Please download the relevant archive for your platform.
Changes since RC4:
- Significant fixes to bidirectional integrator (those are so significant that if you had scenes rendered with bidirectional you should rerender them)
- remove the warm up phase of the metropolis sampler
- switch to boost 1.39
- lots of bugs and memory leaks fixes
NOTE: The Luxblend v0.6RC5 exporter for Blender is included in the archives.
