• V-Ray: Prevent raw image output, when enabled but empty path is provided;
• V-Ray: Reflection/Refraction trace sets' Clear button was cleaning both of the lists;
• V-Ray: Reflection/Refraction trace sets were not working in inclusive mode;
• V-Ray RT: Progressive sampler settings were not exported in .vrscene files;
• V-Ray RT: VRayParticleTex was not translated;
• V-Ray RT: Region rendering with the V-Ray VFB did not work when using V-Ray RT as production renderer;
• V-Ray RT: Fixed a crash when undoing delete of Forest Pro geometry while Active Shade rendering;

• V-Ray RT/GPU: Lens effects source channel was incorrect when re-rendering as production renderer;
• VRayDisplacementMod: Fixed a very slow rendering when Noise texture with animated parameter was used;
• VRayClipper: Fixed clipper's material channel ID appearance in MultiMatte render element;
• VRayGLSLMtl/VRayGLSLTex: Fixed smoothstep output values outside the interpolation range;
• VRayGLSLMtl/VRayGLSLTex: Newly opened shaders were not added to the recent files history after clearing history;
• VRayOSLMtl/VRayOSLTex: Newly opened shaders were not added to the recent files history after clearing history;
• VRayOSLTex: Fixed crash when assigned to dome VRayLight;
• VRayProxy: Fixed crash with corrupt .vrmesh files with large number of voxels;
• VRayProxy: Fixed wrong rendering of multiple instances with particles/hairs;
• VRayProxy: Optimized loading of scene with many Alembic proxies;
• VRayProxy: Optimized preview voxel loading routine;
• VRayProxy: Skip proxy preview calculations if zero number of faces/hairs/particles is provided;
• VRayPtex: Changing PTex cache size had no effect on rendering, 100 MB was always used;
• VRayPtex: Added an option for turning off anisotropic filtering for PTex textures;
• VRayStereoscopic: Rendering shade map sequences could cause crashes;
• VRayIES: Fixed crash after VRayIES light was created in 3D snap mode and 3ds Max was Reset;
• VRayLight: Fixed "Lock to dome orientation" option to work for nested textures;
• VFB: V-Ray did not write .vrimg/.exr files if "Generate preview" was enabled, and "Memory frame buffer" was turned off;

• VFB: The Lens Effects were not applied to images loaded from the history;
• VFB: The Lens Effects were not stored in the output file;
• VRayExtraTex: Cloning VRayExtraTex element didn't clone the include/exclude list;
