• CodeBuildTool now supports building with Visual Studio 2019 with MSVC tools version 14.21 or later.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed incorrect visualisation of automatically placed virtual probes in GeoRadiosity.

Deprecated

• The low level C-style API for Per Pixel Probe Interpolation is deprecated. Please switch to the PppiWorld API or use the high level runtime.
• Support for Visual Studio 2013 is deprecated. Prebuilt binaries will be provided on request.
