FEATURES FROM CUSTOMER REQUESTS:

LWF-1766 2018 Cell Shading not as powerful as 2015 shading
LWF-1835 Improvement point to Cell Shading Par8.
LWF-2267 Physical Sky - Horizon line
LWF-2309 Node Editor - RGBA/XYZ splitter node/improvements to RGB nodes
LWF-2384 Add progress indicator to VPR
LWF-2386 A new 'Pick Up Node' combo box is available when 'Bonjour' is disabled, that allows for explicit IP domains to be targeted by IPv4, IPv6 or DNS.
LWF-2387 New internal plug-ins are available called 'Reset Config' that will cause the base configuration file to be destroyed when the application terminates.
LWF-2388 The base config file for an application will now have its key assignments and menu entries stored in separated files. These settings will be reloaded into a single internal database the next time the application starts.
LWF-2395 FBX Improvements: Transfer only animations; LWF-2396 FBX Improvements: Drag-and-drop within the interface; interchange drag/drop to replace or merge animation supported; edit plugins panel no crash when not finding a server class; tree pane progress
LWF-2396 Segregated tree and tab panes from panes into pane_tree and pane_tab. Revamp TreePane to use OPALe (DPI aware), more column adjust features, over mode for drag/drop. Command key panel uses drop over mode (less confusion). Avoid crash when meta/plugin class not found. OPALe support gradient fill brush.
LWF-2400 Add collision velocity to solvers.
LWF-2401 Add particle system output to mesh to volume node based on the mesh vertices.
LWF-2410 Hide all OpenGL non-renderable elements and gizmos
LWF-2454 Updated Python to v2.7.16
LWF-2501 Redesigned the PCore Console to provide more modern facilities and tools.

LWF-2568 Provide a "Disable VPR Progress Monitor" checkbox. Defaults to disabled.

FIXES - IMPROVEMENTS: 

A better solution to the save/reload issue with hierarchies
Added 'matching' and 'tab indent' support to the PCore Console Editor widget.
Vertex Map Panel features:
  Added 'Select By Map' RMB menu.
  Added filter bar to top of panel
Added a new keyboard shortcut setting to the PCore Console, 'switch_mode', that uses Ctrl+P to switch between command input and free-form editing modes.
Added support for the new Red, Green and Blue channels for the Unreal Bridge.
Added text-selection wrapping of matching-set characters in the PCore Console when 'matching' is enabled.
Added the ability to export text in the PCore Console Log, Command prompt or Editor widget to a disc file via the context menu.
Added the ability to insert text into the Command Prompt or Editor from a disc file via the context menu.
Corrected a bug in 'pushing' text from the PCore Console Editor to the Command prompt that left subsequent switches between the two widgets producing strange syntax errors.
Corrected a bug that caused the PCore Console window to gradually move upward between session.
FBX Interchange, Menu panel update fix.
Fix for deadlock on Layout exit when VBO pipeline thread is not terminated before main thread is terminated.
Fixed "Node Editor" procedural texture evaluation. It was previously incorrectly including the layer's texture value in a way that caused it to be included twice, and returning an incorrect alpha value.
Fixed green channel flip for color textures.
Fixed hotspot for XPanels cursors
Fixed issue with saving/loading parented meshes
Fixes to EPSF loader, should support <v16 better now.
Flat cone looks like a dartboard now.
Implemented alpha blending of the previous Environment plugin result into SunSky.
Layer browser, clicking on the Eye icon on the Object row will make select all Layout visible layers.
Layer browser. RMB to freeze Front/Back state to prevent changes
Layer panel, drag and drop to reorder or insert layer into spot in list. Multi-selection also working but not supported for drag and drop.
Multi-move for Layer browser now selects the moved elements
Optimized the syntax highlighting speed of the Command/Editor of the PCore Console.
Physical Sky: Stars list would crash if dragging from column header (i.e. from no item)
Re-worked the default color scheme for the Command area of the PCore Console.
The 'Scan for Nodes' button, used to discover Render Nodes on the local network, has been moved and renamed to 'Discover Nodes'.
The Console Editor background was not being properly updated when the background color was changed from the default.
Unreal Bridge: Batching sending of meshes for potentially higher performance in scenes with many smaller objects
Unreal Bridge: Fixed green channel being inverted for color textures, Y-flip should be limited to Normal Maps
Unreal Bridge: Setting Metallic, Specular and Roughness textures to "Linear Color" samplers, as recommended by Tim Laird
Updated the LightWave Python docs to contain a section on the new PCore Console.
When 'matching' is enabled in the PCore Console, deleting an matching-set open character will automatically delete its closing character if there are no intervening characters between them.
Destroy layer now brings up a warning dialog. This isn't tied to Alert level because it is so destructive.
Reinstated Shift select for Treeviews with subtypes
Box drawing around treeview insert/drag-onto operation restored.
Added "Lock Bank Angle" to navigation options, which forces the bank angle to remain unchanged.
Tweaked the Fly navigation mode to be more airplane-like, and less walk-like.
Fixed navigation floor settings not loading back in.
Navigation bank angle lock is now per-device instead of global. It defaults to on for the mouse device, off for others.
Drag/Swap with 'null' layer activates the layer and performs the swap.
Swap with 'blank' layer in layer browser crashes fixed.

BUG FIXES: 

LB-4737 Address the compression library in the preview project
LB-4747 How to confuse the Hub/Layout
LB-5217 edge shader not working with primitives. FIll intersection values more than just distance.
LB-5395 Mouse pointer disappears over Surface Editor (guess mac only)
LB-5416 Mesh Part node took unused vertices as separate parts, which caused inconsistent part numbering when doing subdivision. Such vertices are now filtered out and won't create parts.
LB-5476 Faster writing to disk file
LB-5476 MD-Baker now has a 2gb limit (Not anymore !)
LB-5478 cloned image gets lost on reload
LB-5483 macOS: OpenVDB (and FBX API) initialization crashes when used by separate plug-ins. Link to FBX API via shared library instead of static library. The FBX API version was actually 2018.1.1 (even before this), so updated the older name to be more specific. We can remove the icc executables from qmake/tools folder.
LB-5494 OpenVDB Evaluator Scatter Multiply does not work. fix wonky density scaling
LB-5500 OpenVDB - Zoom to object causes OpenGL voxels to disappear. private evaluator was destroying grid on exit.
LB-5515 OpenVDB Primitive unchecking Use Nodes not working. fix and add ui ghosting when using a node input.

LB-5544 Multi-threaded evaluation of ParticleInfo node failure. Getting the particle systems attached to an item was not thread-safe.
LB-5614 When FX Emitter is set to Object-Vertices mode, when a particle is spawned inside an FX Collision eraser no further particles are spawned. Spawning got stuck trying to spawn from the same vertex over and over again, instead of moving on to the next vertex.
LB-5618 VDB offsets still wrong. implement resample to match for CSG with different transforms.
LB-5625 VDB rotation on object issue with gas solver. fix bad transform.
LB-5639 VDB Noise difference between Fog Volume and level set. Fix texture update when changing values. Soft textures like noise need to have more contrast to pickup the surface.
LB-5644 - backdrop color is not color corrected in OpenGL
LB-5645 VDB - T Texture Changes not updating level sets. Add a MasterHandler to sense LWEVNT_NOTIFY_MESHPOINTS_ALTERED events.
LB-5650 geometry is hidden behind the grid or the origin
LB-5653 Some mesh won't export with "OBJ Remove Hidden" option active
LB-5657 -i (isolated) start of layout/modeler still updates assets. When isolated, clip primary routine is no longer called.
LB-5669 Mesh Part node took unused vertices as separate parts, which caused inconsistent part numbering when doing subdivision. Such vertices are now filtered out and won't create parts.

LB-5687 Object Replacement is triggering a changed object marked dirty On layer replacement, when all the change masks are cleared, the global for objects changed is now cleared.
LB-5688 Changes made in the layer panel are not saved in the object.
LB-5689 Improved the scroll bars in the 2019.1 PCore Console.
LB-5690 Clients of the config system that do not contain KEY or MENU entries will not have those specific files saved.
LB-5691 Localization off by one for some navigation options panel labels.
LB-5693 Opening navigation options panel without a previously selected device left the panel mostly blank. Made the first device selected in such cases.
LB-5697 Made navigation mode description more consistent with the naming scheme in the navigation options panel
LB-5698 xpanel sheet scroll bar issue
LB-5699 Font for "G", "C", and "O" seem to be cutoff on tabs : Windows Only
LB-5700 tree views no longer working via Python API
LB-5701 Further fixed. More prevention of navigation mode activation when a command keyboard combo overlaps with the navigation activation key.
LB-5701 Keyboard combos which contained the key used by the Navigation system keyboard device to toggle on the navigation mode triggered the navigation mode, even if the combo is assigned to a function.

LB-5713 Layout doesn't like UDIM sequence with gaps
LB-5714 If the keyboard navigation device settings panel is closed while a key is being set, the interface appears to lock up. Key entry is now aborted when the panel is closed.
LB-5715 Crash in graph editor when a key is moved in the process of creating new keys. An internal switch from key create to key move state was incomplete.

LightWave 2019.0.2 (Build 3116) Final Release Change Log - February 28, 2019

2019.0.2 will install into its own directory. 2019.0.2 uses the same license as your 2019.0 and 2019.0.1 license - just drag-and-drop the license into the interface of 2019.0.2 when first launching 2019.0.2.

Bumped product version to 2019.0.2.
Set the build number to 3116

A better solution to the save/reload issue with hierarchies 
Fixed issue with saving/loading parented meshes
Unreal Bridge: Setting Metallic, Specular and Roughness textures to "Linear Color" samplers

Added "RotoFix" LScript (Layout Generic). Modifies the rotation keyframes of selected items so as to minimize the change in rotation between keyframes, while preserving the orientation. It fixes issues with rotation value wrap-arounds in baked motion.
	Documentation:
		RotoFix is a Layout generic LScript that adjusts the rotation keyframes of a selected item, in order to correct for rotation value wrap-around (e.g. heading jumping from 179 degrees to -179 degrees, instead of going from 179 degrees to 181 degrees). This is important for correct interpolation (e.g. 179 degrees to -179 degrees is a change of 358 degrees, while 179 degrees to 181 degrees is a change of only 2 degrees, even though the initial and final orientation of the item is the same in both cases).
		It does this by minimizing the change in rotation values between keyframes, while keeping the resulting orientation of the item unaffected.
