in this version of Octane will not be compatible with beta 3.01 or older.
Changes since beta 3.02a
- Added near clipping plane to the camera settings.
- The deep_channel_kernel doesn't display fireflies anymore.
- Fixed alpha channel when using saturation.
- The PMC kernel shows correct colors again during the first few samples.
- Fixed performance of loading a mesh on Linux.
- Eliminated short display of default material when connecting a node to a pin with an internal node.
- Eliminated occasional material preview display after loading.
- The save dialog doesn't pop up after changing only the preferences.

Changes since beta 3.01

Driver Requirements
This build requires an NVIDIA driver supporting CUDA 4.2.
For Mac OS you need a CUDA driver. We recommend using version 4.2.10 (http://www.nvidia.com/object/mac-driver-archive.html).
The display driver should be automatically updated by Mac OS.
On Linux and Windows you only need a recent enough NVIDIA driver. There appear
to be some performance issues with the latest drivers, the recommended driver version
is 301.42 (http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us).
