# Version 3.1
2
+
## New Features:
3
+
- Support for AMD Radeon™ RX 6700 XT graphics cards has been added.
4
+
- Cryptomatte AOVs make it easy to filter objects by name or material when using compositors that support Cryptomatte (including the Blender Cryptomatte compositor node)
5
+
- A 16-bit Machine Learning Denoiser option is now available to provide for less memory usage and greater speed.
6
+
- The speed and responsiveness of the viewport render has been vastly improved under RPR 2.0:
7
+
- An option for using Machine Learning Denoising and Upscaling the viewport render is enabled under the Viewport Settings. We now render faster at ½ resolution and use the Machine Learning Upscaler to enhance the resolution;
8
+
- Changing the properties tabs no longer restarts the viewport render;
9
+
- Stopping the viewport render is now much faster;
10
+
- Various other fixes to speed up the viewport render have been added.
11
+
- An often requested feature, Box mapping in the Image Texture node, is now supported!
12
+
- Support for Principled Hair BSDF has been added.
13
+
- UV Lookup nodes and math nodes now work in the High, Medium, Low modes.
14
+
15
+
## Issues Fixed:
16
+
- Adaptive sampling now works correctly in the CPU mode.
17
+
- All color spaces for textures (not just sRGB and Linear) are now used.
18
+
- Noise seeding for animation renders has now fixed an issue of a “swimming” noise pattern. Noise seeding is always enabled.
19
+
- A possible error with UDIM textures has been fixed.
20
+
- If the Step Count option in Blender was set to a value > 1, accentuated motion blur would be rendered — fixed.
21
+
- Memory was not being freed up at the end of rendering — fixed.
22
+
- Shadow Catcher now work with RPR 2.
23
+
- An error at the end of rendering with the Full mode has been fixed.
24
+
- Calculated values of light power would not update in animation — fixed.
25
+
- Transparent background now works with RPR 2.
26
+
- Transparent background with tile rendering was creating a lot of artefacts and produced incorrect results — fixed.
27
+
- Instances were not updated correctly in the viewport on disabling or enabling: they were correctly removed when disabled but not displayed on enabling — fixed.
28
+
- There was an issue with material override application/removal: it reset the object rays visibility settings and was not updated on instances — fixed.
29
+
- Linked collection objects now use ray visibility settings, rather than the settings from the parent object.
30
+
- Various fixes have been made to .rpr file export:
31
+
- Motion blur is now exported with .rpr export;
32
+
- Export is now implemented with selected engine mode;
33
+
- An image cache is used to save space and enhance speed when exporting.
34
+
- Environment Lights and various overrides can now be rotated independently.
35
+
- Area lights were shadowing too aggressively — fixed.
36
+
- Switching to contour rendering could fail on an NVidia GPU — fixed.
37
+
- Possible crashing when rendering AOVs in the viewport has been fixed.
38
+
- Textures could be too blurry due to incorrect MIP mapping, particularly textures in a plane parallel to the camera direction.
39
+
- Adaptive sampling now works with RPR 2.
40
+
- Spiral artifacts when rendering with both the CPU and GPU have been fixed.
41
+
- The Opacity AOV was not taking the maximum ray depth into account — fixed.
42
+
- Artifacts in the Depth AOV have been fixed.
43
+
- Compiling the BVH geometry has been improved in large scenes.
44
+
45
+
## Known Issues:
46
+
- RPR 2.0 has some forthcoming features. If these are needed, please use the Legacy render mode:
47
+
- Heterogenous volumes.
48
+
- Tiled rendering with transparent background enabled has image artifacts with RPR 2.0.
49
+
- Adaptive sampling does not work with CPU only rendering.
