It would be nice to have the color bleeding implemented.
For the moment we can live with teh current features...

With the next release they will be back. We are aiming for the end of this week, but we will see...

excellent, thank you !
Do you plan to totally remove the internet connection for the 2.5/final?

in fact internet connection isn't required after 1st launching, even when restarting windows, sorry, i didn't understand when reading announcment: thats excellent now !!

I've tried this 2.49 whith animation and it works perfectly: octane becomes quite an animation killer now ( obj. motionblur when ? ): it's very fast, even for importing scene and voxelising !! Congratulations ( again ) !!

I asked you before, is there a possibility, for next versions, to configure a background-task computing mode ( which permit to let calculate animations with octane, while working on others apps -> without the octane windows coming on foreground task for each new frame calculation, breaking the workflow): actually, with 2 GTX 470, it's possible to play with main/second screen calculation card, but there is still the problem of the octane-window which 'breaks' the workflow...
It would be SO GREAT !!

Last thing, no problem with the firewall on my workstation...

I couldn't agree more, the pop ups are really troublesome
