Why 2018.1 works with 2019 but version 4 dont.?

Tharso
Because this is a stable version: only bugfixes are happening for the stable release (increasing its stability), no new features that could make it completely unstable again.
The new 14.X branch of the plugin has a couple of new features implemented, including this one (and this is the reason it is not considered stable so far).

Ok. Thank you Jim

And congratulations for your hard work. Octane for maya is getting better and better. A octane in the viewport is much faster than vray next in the viewport.

Hi Jim,

We need the update on the stable version cause the 4.02 has the bug of mix shader and emission node right now ONLY 4.01.1 and 4.02.1 is fixed please give us a update on the stable of 4.02.1

Cheers,
JO

This version is much slower than 4.02-13.28 when I try to acomodate my HDRi image lighting with the mouse and holding control on the keyboard over "octaneTransform2D" translation, in this version takes some seconds to display the changes to the light, where on 13.28 occours almost in realtime.
