New Features and Enhancements
Rendering

Licensing

• ILISE now supports floating license files with CRLF line endings on Windows. (#9730)

Object Framework

Rendering

• Fixed incorrect illumination of spotlight as well as GL display of fall-off region in 3D view (#9650)
• Fixed a bug in the computation of the motion blur for camera projections that were using the wrong camera. (#8863)
• Fur support color texture node is now working correctly with shading variables and when using an extract property as input. (#9391)
• Greatly improved performances of light path expressions (LPEs) in a highly multithreaded environment (e.g. when using a CPU with a lot of cores) (#9646)
• The motion blur for camera projections is now working correctly with Alembic cameras when they are parented to a moving object. (#8869)

SDK Changes
Object Framework

• Fixed a crash that occurred since 3.6 SP7 when reloading a custom context engine that renames items. Note that if Clarisse no longer crashes, you may get unexpected result on reload (like losing overrides) because of the renaming. (#9752)
