* Random Cloner:
* Fixed determinism issues.
* Fixed motion vector generations.

* Particle Mesh Deformer:
* Fixed so that it now works with Shape 3D nodes.
* Plain Deformer:
* Fixed a bug preventing falloff transformation from working correctly.
* Fields:
* Field Affector:
* Fixed the Y velocity property which was previously flipped.

* 3D Object:
* Fixed the Lit property checkbox so that it works.
* Combine Geometry:
* Fixed issues with bounding boxes.
* Fixed issues with clone colours not being picked up and used.
* Graph Geometry:
* Fixed polygon winding order.
* Fixed the rendering of lines.
* Fixed Min and Max values so they are now respected.
* Perception Neuron Mocap Skeleton:
* Fixed support for mirroring of rigs.
* Fixed feet position for mixamo rigs.
* Shape 3D:
* Fixed polygon flips and normal generation for various shape types.
* Made Reveal property work.
* Fixed the index buffer winding order for the sphere shape type.
* Fixed the sphere shape which has incorrect polygon indices at one of the endcaps which caused line rendering to be incorrect.
* Fixed polygon facingness for flat primitives so they always face their axis in the positive direction.
* Fixed a bug where the "Line Thickness" property wasn’t enabled when the shape type is set to Line or LineArray.
* Text:
* Fixed so that a text string containing newlines does not render outside of the node's bounds in the nodegraph.
* Lighting:
* Fog Scattering:
* Fixed rendering issues relating to render layers.
* Screen Space Ambient Occlusion:
* Fixed so that the node works with render layers.
* Fixed so affecting objects input now works.
* Fixed so that it works with the multi-camera node.
* Screen Space Reflections:
* Fixed a bug where environment map sampling was done in view space and rotating the environment map had no effect.
* Volumetric Lighting:
* Fixed culling for fisheye and 360 cameras.
* Fixed issues with edge clipping.
* Voxel Cone Lighting:
* Fixed random pixel / corruption issue on glossy rays.
* Materials:
* Multi Material:
* Fixed issues with the enabled and disabled state being ignored.
* Fixed issues with the specified timeline range being ignored for this node.
* Nodes:
* Colour Ramp:
* Fixed so that the node can now be disabled.
* Fixed so that it can be used as a material texture input.
* Image 2D:
* Fixed the fact aspect correction factors were not taking viewport dimensions in to account.
* Layer Precomp:
* Fixed GPU memory leaks.
* Render To Texture:
* Fixed a bug relating to depth of field parameters.
* Particles:
* Blob Renderer:
* Fixed a number of issues such as antialiasing, edge artefacts, shadows and normal generation.
* Line Renderer:
* Fixed rendering for multi-viewport cameras.
* Fixed so that it works with orthographic projections.
* Mesh Renderer:
* Fixed the Luminance Randomness property so it works.
* Render Particles To Surfaces:
* Fixed texture animation support.
* SPH Affector:
* Fixed so apply transform offsets doesn’t make it fail.
* Trail Renderer:
* Fixed transform offsets when the node is parented.
* Fixed motion blur for extruded geometry.
* Fixed trails if the first position is pointing straight up.
* Post-FX:
* Custom Shader Post Effect:
* Fixed the blend amount slider which wasn't appearing previously.
* Four Point Warp:
* Fixed UV scaling.
* Fixed tessellation issues.
* Temporal Antialiasing:
* Fixed alpha output when using motion vectors.
* Tilt Shift:
* Fixed so the active flag works when it is a child of a video source instead of the root node.
* Procedural:
* Heightmap Generator:
* Fixed a bug which prevented the generated heightmap geometry from casting shadows from light sources.
* Procedural Meshing:
* Fixed an unwanted jittering when temporal anti-aliasing is in use, caused by an incorrect previous world transform being used.
* Sound:
* Play Sound:
* Fixed so that double-clicking on the node now expands the envelope inputs.
* Video Processing:
* Multiplex Sources:
* Fixed an issue when DXT compressed textures were used.
* Video Loader:
* Fixed an issue when Update Time Mode is set to Running / Loopable and the video ends.
