Release v2.15.0.1

[randypacker]

What's new

We've changed openmoonray's versioning scheme to align with how we version our internal repositories, which is typically a minor version bump with weekly internal releases and a major version bump when one of our productions locks off on a particular version, to ensure stability for the remainder of that production.

Features

• New developer regression suite (RATS). Includes release of ~400 tests, and automated canonical image generation.
• Added NUMA architecture support. Includes affinity controls for CPU / Memory to achieve better performance on NUMA architecture machines.
• New rdla_gui program that creates a GUI from rdla objects and parameters and updates a delta .rdla file for real time control when rendering with moonray_gui
• New per-BSDF lobe lightsets
• Added an FOV attribute to the FisheyeCamera
• New TwoSidedMap
• Allow ImageMap rotation to work with UDIM images, which will rotate from their center
• Support multiple BSSRDFs in a single material
• Added scene_rdl2 functions and improvements to support hdMoonray
• Added tmp directory management for signal-based checkpointing

Bug Fixes

• Fixed bug and optimized file output logic for signal-based checkpointing
• Fixed weight scaling of ToonBRDF in scalar
• Fixed OCIO not being built into moonray_gui
• Fixed SwitchNormalMap choice attribute evaluation in vector mode
• Fixed crash with DwaColorCorrectMaterial with a DwaSwitchMaterial
• Fixed OIIO libtiff link error
• Fixed look difference in SSS random walk caused by choice of local reference frame
• Fixed use_default_color for non-udim images
• Fixed build warning of SHA1 on Rocky9.4
• Fixed UsdGeometry acceleration motion blur
• UsdGeometry no longer submits unassigned meshes/parts
• Updated the sphere.usd scene to include the MaterialBindingAPI schema
• Fixed install location of the moonrayShaderDiscovery and moonrayShaderParser plugins ito plugin/pxr
• Allow RectLights and PortalLights to be used in the same scene

Other

• Removed deprecated path guiding implementation
• Added support for LPEs which capture indirect lighting on volumes
• Moved left-handed logic into RdlMeshGeometry procedural
• Automatically set resumable_output when resume render
• Skip the output file permissions check if moonray is running as a backend computation

Community Contributors

• James Horsley
  • Added missing std includes
  • Updated includes for OpenEXR v3.0+

Hi @gonsolo , can you check that you have Git LFS installed on your system?
Our new 'rats' repository uses Git LFS to track some of the files.

You can install it using git lfs install.
Once it is installed you can try cloning again.

Our documentation neglects to mention this, but I am in the process of updating it now.

gonsolo tmp:git lfs install
Git LFS initialized.

The error persists:

Fehler: externer Filter 'git-lfs filter-process' fehlgeschlagen
Schwerwiegend: assets/hdri/parkinglot.exr: smudge-Filter 'lfs' fehlgeschlagen
Warnung: Klonen erfolgreich, Auschecken ist aber fehlgeschlagen.
Sie können mit 'git status' prüfen, was ausgecheckt worden ist
und das Auschecken mit 'git restore --source=HEAD :/' erneut versuchen.

Asking ChatGPT with the error and the question "Is it my fault or theirs" results in:

So in short:

✅ You did everything right.
❌ They didn’t fully or permanently publish the LFS file.

So either the file is not uploaded, or not properly pushed, or it might be a permission problem.

Hi @gonsolo ,
I think this has been resolved. It looks like we needed to explicitly push the files to the rats repository, which I have now done. Please let us know if the issue persists.

It works now: #189 (comment)
