- Embree: Fixed a crash with XMesh and motion blur;
- DR: Rendering in DR mode with "Use local host" unchecked demanded a render node license;
- DR: The "Save hosts in scene" option was not always working correctly when rendering with DR through Backburner;
- 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 stored in the output file;
- VRayExtraTex: Cloning VRayExtraTex element didn't clone the include/exclude list;
