[murraystevenson]

Improvements

• Timeline : Added scrubbing outside the playback range, enabled by holding Shift.
• RenderMan : Added depth of field support (RenderMan DoF #6713).
• NodeEditor :
  • Added BoxPlug items to the plug creation menus.
  • Added more Array items to the plug creation menus.
  • Added drag & drop creation of plugs by dropping a plug or value onto the + icon.
• AttributeTweaks : Added "Attributes" submenu to name plugs, matching the menu from CustomAttributes.
• CustomAttributes : Added "From Selected" and "From Affected" submenus to the plug creation menu.
• AttributeTweaks, OptionTweaks, CustomAttributes, CustomOptions, OptionQuery : Added drag & drop population of plugs by dragging from the Scene Inspector.
• CustomOptions : Added "From Scene" submenu to the plug creation menu.

Fixes

• RenderPassEditor, Spreadsheet : Conformed menu buttons to match the rest of Gaffer by showing menu on button press, not release.
• NodeEditor : Added missing widget for Color4fVectorDataPlug.
• Timeline : Fixed bug that meant the wrong frame number was drawn when the current frame was outside the playback range.
• SetEditor : Fixed RunTimeTyped registration of SetEditor.Settings.
• HierarchyView, AttributeEditor : Fixed search filter tooltip.
• NodeMenu : The script's context is now scoped before calling a node's postCreator.
• RenderMan :
  • Fixed incorrect motion blur when rendering with RenderMan XPU.
  • Fixed interactive denoiser when rendering with RenderMan XPU.
• SceneReader : Fixed reading of animated material and light parameters from USD files.

API

• MenuButton : Added set/getImmediate() methods. These allow the button to execute a menu item immediately instead of showing the menu, if the menu has only a single item.
• Signals : Added CatchingCombiner Python class, equivalent to the C++ template class.
• FileSystemPath : Implemented Python's os.PathLike interface, to allow FileSystemPath objects to be passed directly to Python's standard filesystem functions.
• PlugCreationWidget : Added standard metadata-driven widget to allow users to add plugs to nodes.
• UserPlugs : Deprecated. Use PlugCreationWidget instead.
• CompoundDataPlugValueWidget : Deprecated. Use LayoutPlugValueWidget and PlugCreationWidget instead.

Build

• Cortex : Updated to version 10.6.2.1.
