CHANGES SINCE THE PREVIOUS VERSION

• New 3.05.2 engine.
• Particles motion blur rendering is improved. Scenes having died/born particles must be rendered better now. Current rendering engine still has some issues, so some newly born particles may not be visible in some frames when MB is enabled. Died particles MB export is not supported in current version.
• Minor fixes and improvements...

Yes it'fine now

This also fixes the messed-up randomColor for born particles,
but for some reason dead particles still mess-up the random color.

I guess the way the plugin deals with dead particles now, is to set their matrices to 0 in the A_TRANSFORMS array,
so that's strange randomColor should work in this case.

Thinking about animated visibility export in general,
maybe the matrice set to 0 in the A_TRANSFORMS array to make the instance invisible
is also a good way to deal with animated visibility export for any geometry ?

some newly born particles may not be visible in some frames when MB is enabled.

If a particle motion-blur is interpolated between Time1 and Time2 and the particle doesn't exist at Time1, this is to be expected.

Testing the plugin behavior for this case but with normal geometry, I discovered a new bug:
