Phoenix 3.05 stopped to work with octane

As in the subject. After Phoenix 3.05 hotfix, octane volume modifier doesnt see aur or vdb files anymore, only old volume object reads vdb's, but that's not good. Perhaps they changed something in aur file format and now octane volume modifier added to a phoenix grid doesnt recognize it anymore.
It's pretty important, since 3.05 hotfix is a quite good one. How long will it take to fix it? I am kind of sweating with deadlines now.

Hi Norman_Stansfield,
Otoy has been contacted by Chaos group, they told that the version 3.05 did break the previous compatibility.
Developers we'll update compatibility asap.

Hey, Paride, any info about phoenix 3.05 support? I have my sims done in 3.05 (without knowledge about bug yet) and they took 4 days to calculate - I don't want to resim them from scratch - just one single correction in octane code would save my deadlines.

Thanks for info. Will it be available in releases section as 4.45? Is this a matter of few days? It's kind of urgent for me.

Thanks, Paride. It's a choice - to simulate everything again into vdb (93h of sim time) or to read from .aur file with new octane build.
Please, remember about me

Hi Norman_Stansfield,
I'm sorry, but we need to wait a little more time before having 4.45 phoenix fixed release; there is not yet a given release, unfortunately developers had some unexpected events.
I will keep you updated
