• Fixed crash caused by previous backport of 5.4 fixes.

Fix a bug in the Curve state where saving during playback would revert the moved point position back to the position stored in the HUD Handle when playback was started. The state now tells the HUD to force an update during playback when points are moved to ensure it stays up to date.

Fix a bug in the Curve state with the xform handle active causing the T/R/E keys to exit the state and enter a move tool instead of switching the mode on the xform handle.

Fix an issue in APEX Script where the 'graph::FindPorts' alias 'id.ports(pattern)' was expecting 'id' to be a nodeid instead of a graph object, leading to errors.

Fix an issue with the parameter ('G') HUD in the APEX Animate state causing it to not reliably move to the mouse when shown on some platforms.

Mantra no longer supports network rendering.

Add indirect mouse manipulation for HUD handles. Add a preference to toggle indirect mouse manipulation in the HUD handles preferences tab.

Fixed a bug in APEX Script where color metadata was not being respected inside of subnets.

Fixed a bug with Gas Resize Field DOP's handling of sliced fields.

Fixed a bug in APEX Script where it was not using the latest versions of callbacks at the houdini version as specified by 'HoudiniVersion' when using the object oriented syntax.

Fixed a bug where apprentice was not behaving correctly for mantra.

Added keymaputils.importV1KeymapBindingsToKeymapFile(), a utility function to import key bindings from an old .keymap file to a new .keymap2 file.

Fix an error in APEX Script when using 'nodeid.callbackName()' caused by the script attempting to put down a 'graph::NodeCallback' callback instead of the expected 'graphutils::NodeCallbackName' callback.

Fixed a case where creating a COP with the display flag set would sometimes not show up in the Scene View.

Added graphutils::PortPath() APEX node. Fixed apex.Graph.portPath() python method to return paths with [in]/[out] qualifiers where needed to disambiguate cases where the same port name exists as both an input and output.

Fix APEX Script errors when using graph callback aliases 'graph.connectedPorts', 'graph.matchNodes', and 'graph.matchPorts'.

Fixed bug where Preserve Groups did not copy corresponding edges in the extrusion front to the groups that contain the original edges.

Fix displacement quality updates with Vulkan MaterialX shaders and made the default displacement LOD lower to favour interactive performance.

Fixed a crash that could occur when using the Light Mixer menu to add a new light.

Fixed transforming of lights in the Light Mixer LOP viewport state.
