yes, that's correct.

Thank you for the report, we will look into it.

just a question. What about overall rendering speed improvements? will we see them in the next releases?
Unfortunately there is no magic bullet to make things faster. So, no there won't be any speed improvements until 1.50.

Stereoscopic Rendering modes specifically (Side By Side) I may of missed the post if this was doable or not, or not going to be added at all.. I understand the bandwidth of information would be doubled but regardless I thought side-by-side stereoscopic rendering was to be supported in 1.5? If it has been implemented my apologies, the function if exists in this build isn't apparent to me in the settings. And if it is possible is it ready in the Maya plugin too?

Stereoscopic rendering isn't supported in the 1.5 release candidates, neither will it be supported in the final 1.5 release.

I'm guessing "no new features" also means no displacement?

correct, what's in the release candidate right now is what you get for the stable 1.5 release

That's kind of a bummer. When OTOY tweeted me in January to "stay tuned ;)" regarding displacement support, I understood that as sooner rather than later.
