Hi All,
This is next test/preview release of plugin which is based on V4-RC4 SDK. We recommend that you mention that it is experimental, they should not use it for production work, and that we cannot guarantee backward compatibility.
Please note that this build will expire in 60 days, this is now shown on the bottom right of the standalone release.
Whilst we have reached the feature lock milestone, we consider this a non-stable release, as we expect to stabilise in preparation for the first stable. Until then, please do not use this for production purposes.
EDIT: There have been various reports that the Linux and OSX builds crash during startup after the cuDNN library got downloaded and installed. We hope to have found and fixed the issue and updated the OSX and Linux release builds accordingly.
Please see this thread for V4 features: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=66013
This is matching Standalone V4-RC4: [url=https://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=68770[/url]
