- Preview AOVs are now always displayed in display drivers, even when preview_in_exr is disabled.
- Builds are supplied against Arnold 5.0.1.0 for Arnold 5.0.&ast and 5.1.&ast, and 5.2.0.0 for Arnold 5.2.&ast
- Python tests now return error code for failed tests
- Renamed repo from AlShaders2 to CryptomatteArnold
- Fixed parallel node init issue where rarely Cryptomatte filter would not be properly set up
- Changed Windows requirement to Visual Studio 2015 redistributable
- Reorganized and cleaned up repo
- Moved documentation from wiki to /docs
- Tests for which OIIO is not required run without OIIO Python module present
Bug fixes:
- Fixed crash with multiple Cryptomatte shaders in scene.
- Added error detection for issue where Cryptomatte filters do not get set up correctly, (reported by one user by not reproducible).
Features
- Support Arnold 5.1 adaptive sampling
- Support for mixed bit-depth EXR files
- Support long object names (up to 2048 characters)
- Added preview_in_exr control
- False (default): Omit preview channels when EXR drivers are being used
- True: Keep behavior as usual
- Support C4DtoA Arnold 5.1 naming changes
- Add controls to disable various kinds of name processing
- Switched to Daniel Schmidt's faster hash to float code
Bug fixes
- Crash when rendering with non-aov shaders in Arnold 5.1

Bug fixes
- Restored Maya name in special cases (ns1:obj1|ns2:obj2)
- Fixed some crashes with malformed names, added tests for this
- Fixed metadata when rendering multiple Cryptomattes into one EXR file (Sen Haerens)

- Removed Arnold Render Options user data
- Added sidecar manifests, which are deferred-written and work with deferred-loaded standins
- Support Integer Overrides
- Internal changes
- Uses float AOVs for less overhead
- Opacity now uses built in opacity AOV rather than storing on own samples
- cryptomatte, cryptomatte_filter, and cryptomatte_manifest_driver are all packaged into one executable
Bug Fixes
- Fixed Multiple cameras
- Per-face shader assignments now work regardless of what shader is applied first (thanks to new AiShaderGlobalsGetShader() API from Solid Angle)
- Matte objects work properly (omitted from Cryptomattes)
- fixed issue with user cryptomattes behind transparency
