Version 2.1.5 is a maintenance patch release for a number of improvements and bug fixes.
Please see below for details:
* Improved license activation software
* Changed default settings so that Physical Sky is the default lighting environment and resolution is set to 720 x 405
* Improved animation rendering performance
* Glowing glass now uses the material's diffuse colour for self-illumination
* Bump maps now work with transparent materials
* The background is now blurred by frosted glass objects
* Material previews now update correctly when the user account has an '&' in its name
* Pixellation is no longer visible when zooming in close to a bump-mapped surface
* Improved the quality of reflections seen in transparent materials, which could sometimes appear noisy
* Extra frames are no longer rendered at the end of an animation when the final scene is not included in the animation
* Improved bump map quality for brushed metal materials
* Improved the behaviour of auto-exposure when rotating the camera with Physical Sky or a custom or preset IBL selected.
* Improved the behaviour of auto-exposure when zooming out a long way, so that the model is barely visible.
The update is available now and can be downloaded here: https://artvps.com/index.php/downloads/upgrade_shaderlight/
