Changelog and the installers for Octane Standalone are here:
OctaneRender Standalone 2021.1


Changes since version 20.7:

• Implemented the support of dynamic size for Octane's nParticles shapes.
• Implemented few lost AOV attributes in materials.
• Implemented Octane scatter-on-surface for Maya "mesh" nodes.
• Implemented Octane scatter-in-volume for "octaneVolume" nodes.
• Demo version is now available.
• A couple of minor fixes and improvements...

Known issues:
You may experience some crashes when updating "mesh" nodes in "scatter-on-surface" mode. This is some Octane engine issue, not related to the plugin. Does not affect any functionality other than the new geo-scatter. Should become OK after gets fixed on the engine side...
Materials are not supported for instances in the new "geo scatter" functionality so far, I'll add this functionality in the next plugin release.

I just tried to install this version and got this error.

[JimStar]

Weird. I can't reproduce it on my side, works OK...
I will investigate it further and release a quick-fix if there is some issue on a plugin side...

[g0ll4m]

I rebooted my computer and tried again and it works, so false alarm.
